So What Next?
Redundant-No longer needed, superfluous, omitted without loss of meaning or function. Laid-Off-Having lost your job, discharged, dismissed, fired, pink-slipped. Today was my last day at the job I’ve spent the last 3 years at.
One Of Us
Over the weekend I was in London attending Uncon with Dave and Adam. Uncon is a convention that’s put on by Fortean Times. It’s a two day event featuring all kinds of lectures on a vast array of subjects, none of which could be called mainstream.
Writing To Reach You
This morning on BBC Breakfast there was guy talking about writing a letter to his 16 year old self. It caught my interest mostly because I’ve found that writing is the most therapeutic thing in the world to me. I have journals and notebooks full of streams of conscious, I’m writing whatever comes into my [...]
Dusting Off
*blows dust off blog … chokes and sputters* Hi! So I’ve been ignoring this blog, I think it’s because I wasn’t sure just what kind of direction I wanted it to go in. I had wanted to to write about important things, to have some sort of theme. But having spent so long avoiding writing [...]

Auntie Paddy
Last Sunday we got a phone call, one we knew was coming, but all the same we dreaded it. Auntie Paddy had finally lost her battle against cancer. In the 12 years that I have lived here Paddy played a huge part in my life. I’m positive if it had not been for Paddy I [...]
We are controlling transmission
Saturday afternoons when I was growing up was the best time ever. Well okay maybe not ever but I have fond memories of part of Saturday afternoons. It’s actually more of a moment frozen in time. A collage of memories. My best friend Brian would come down and we would watch the Saturday afternoon monster [...]
Ode To A Grasshopper…
Back in the 1990′s I discovered The Doors. I don’t mean that I didn’t know they existed before then, I’m sure I did. But I got hooked on them in a big big way. For months they were all I would listen to. Their music spoke to me on some level. Looking back on that [...]
