When I was young I would get annoyed if I have at least 8 Easter Eggs. I feel horrible for being that way. I wasn’t the most pleasant of children at such events: the religious events in the year. Scoffing at presents from family, wanting a bigger Easter Egg, better selection box, more toys, more [...]

When I look around [the internet] this morning, many people are talking about Lent. There is a lot of cynicism around Lent: giving up Lent for Lent, doing it out of tradition, giving up fairy stories, myths and bullshit, deliberately eating and drinking more. Now this is all very well, and very funny, but it’s [...]

Yesterday, Darren and I went to the Heroes and Legends Convention in W5 – Interactive Discovery Centre — in the Odyssey Complex. It was a well-kept secret for a few weeks that Darren would in fact get to meet Colin Baker, the sixth Doctor, and indeed turn very fanboy and starstruck when brought face-to-face. It [...]

Near (for N.D.) by Carol Ann Duffy Far, we are near, meet in the rain which falls here; gathered by light, air; falls there where you are, I am; lips to those drops now on yours, nearer… absence the space we yearn in, clouds drift, cluster, east to west, north, south; your breath in them, [...]

Life is strange, yet rarely do we stop and look for a moment at the strange the rituals are we perform, and why we do them. If we do, do we talk about them with those around us, or do we carry on regardless? Very few things can be considered romantic on February 14th. The [...]

This year my usual series of end-of-year posts have been postponed due to extended New Year’s celebrations. A somewhat different format to last year, though much the same sentiment remains, as well as one person who’s photograph appeared last year being much more prominent twelve months later. No matter, let’s get going. In all, it’s [...]

Christmas is a strange time of year. Church on Sunday For the most part I love Christmas. For me it it’s about few days to chill-out with family; eat lots of chocolate, have a few drinks, hang out with my awesome cousins, a nice meal (stuffing!), refuse to wear paper hats, argue with my parents [...]

It’s december and I’m majorly stressing. The todo list is long. Free time is non-existent. I need help.

This used to be my go-to place for updating the world as to my goings on. But more than that, I have always used my blog for myself. It is a journal. A diary if you will. It allows me to look back and remember a part of my life. It is more personal than [...]

There’s a lot to be said for inspiration, and the motivation to do something with it. I’m currently feeling very inspired, artistically, and politically (and I stress as always, in a non-party political sense). You see, I’ve begun to undertake a number of projects, both small and large, putting the blogging and photographing simply for [...]
