Not always funny, but always truthful. The harsh reality of our modern world, our relationships and how we constantly aren’t in contact with each other.
When I watched my first Disney movie as a kid I fell in love. I am now a 30-year-old man and the love has never died. Judge away all you like but I am happy to admit that, there is something wonderfully innocent about them and in the adult world, having that as an outlet sometimes is needed. My two worlds collide wonderfully when I can have a glass (or bottle) of wine with a Disney movie.
They say that 15-20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. And more than 80% of these miscarriages will occur within the first trimester (3 months). This is the silent sorrow which effects so many individuals and couples, and yet, it is something that we rarely talk about.
For whatever reason, couples mourn the loss of their child quietly and alone. They are often advised “You’re young, you can try again and have another baby.” And that doesn’t help anyone, no matter how true it is. At that point of loss, all you want to do is grieve for the child that would have been, should have been yours.
I grew up in the country, my family had horses and quite a lot of acreage, and space has never really been a stranger to me. Some people would call me a country boy I, however would not. I was a round peg in a square hole. The slow pace is nice, but it’s not for me. I will say though, that people in country towns are nice, polite, and they also understand the mechanics of sidewalk etiquette. The irony being that space is all around them, yet the know how to do the footpath Waltz. Continue reading “Keep LEFT unless overtaking!”
When I grow up, I want to be a member of FIFA. I want to represent my country and collect as much bribes as possible and live large. Either that, or go be an official in a developing nation, that works too. But mostly, I want to be a FIFA official, and collect so much money that my puppy can have luxury penthouse apartments all over the world. Yay FIFA!
FIFA, the world’s most powerful sporting body, and richest, has made the news recently for all the wrong reasons. And as a “friend” has pointed out, I have painted this fine group with a single prejudicial brush. Shame on me.
Meh. Whatever dude, they’re (the ones who have and will be caught – just to cover my ass) a bunch of corrupt a’holes, who deserve to be investigated. And it’s all falling apart very quickly since May 2015.
Busy bodies and nosy parkers everywhere have long known that the greatest achievement in meddling in other people’s affairs is match making. This is where you, the overzealous one, is able to essentially quality control the “plus ones” in your life. Most of us just want to see our friends happy together, but don’t actually put much thought into it other than them both being single at the same time.

We’ve all been addicted to the drama that is The Bachelor, Joe Millionaire, There’s something about Miriam, etc, at one point or another. But what we’ve often failed to compute is how the producers go about getting the catty sound bites, or how they manage to find the right combination of crazy for the show.
Goodbye Bruce, hello Caitlyn. And you know what, she’s beautiful.
Over the last few months, every medium of media has been bombarding you with stories about Bruce Jenner’s transgender shock announcement.
In the beginning of 2015, there was plenty of denial from the Jenner-Kardashian camp as to what was going on. And rightly so. This is an incredibly personal story and one that takes a lot of courage to deal on a personal level, let alone, the international stage.
I never thought I’d ever say “Thank-you for being you” to anyone who was on a reality TV show. But I truly mean it. Thank-you Bruce.
Bruce Jenner, the long suffering patriarch of the Kardashian/Jenner clan has officially come out in the recent months as a transgender. And he’s currently in the process of transforming himself into a woman.
