July 24, 2016

So, something happened the other day that literally stopped me in my tracks. First because I was like “Holy fuck, I’ve gotta be careful what I say to my kids. Then it was because “My son is all kinds of awesome”. My eldest boy, John is in year 6, the last year of primary, or […]

So, 2015 Is Almost Here

December 31, 2014

I hesitated about writing a post about my 2014. It seems that, over the last few years, my negativity and depression levels have increased horribly. Partly this is due to the employment situation, but I’ve come to realise that there isn’t actually much about me that is nice and that’s what’s depressing me. Every time […]

This is a slightly updated version of a post I wrote last year. I haven’t changed it much, the sentiments expressed, the hopes voiced, are still the same. Read, and remember. It was, by all accounts, a clear day in Manhattan early on September 11, 2001. It began as a slow news day. It would […]

Doctor Who: Season One Review

March 11, 2012

As some of you will be aware, because I live commentated every episode, last year I watched six years worth of Doctor Who in a month or so. A brief explanation may be necessary. Brief, because I don’t want to repeat myself and also because I don’t want to bore you. My previous job didn’t […]
