Our world. Our views. Our voice.
I’ve recently embarked on my second attempt at a higher education. Like many jaded adults, I felt that it was time for a career change. I had long felt disconnected with the world. Feeling as though I was not making any meaningful contribution to society.
After a several jobs various financial markets and a change in lifestyle, I am right back where I started a long time ago. Unhappy Continue reading “Why do when you can teach?”
Like most of us, I am not an avid news reader, I have a short attention span. I skim, read the disaster stories (war, crime, etc), I click on the click bait, and on the odd occasion, I will read through an entire news story about a subject that intrigues me.
As a child, I always thought that journalists were Continue reading “WHY YOU CAN’T TRUST EVERYTHING YOU READ”
Who would have thought it possible? The Super Bowl came down to who had the better defence. Not who had the better offensive team, a rarity in a game that has put a great emphasis on the scoring team.
The Broncos and the Panthers both had the best defensive teams in the league. The Broncos’ defence held off Brady and The Patriots, they were strong. But if The Patriots had played the kicking game, it would have been them at Super Bowl 50, and not The Broncos. Couldda, wouldda, shoulda… The Broncos were there due to bad strategy by The Patriots, not because they were the better team. But that’s the game, a beautiful combination of brains and brawn.
The Panthers kicked The Cardinals Continue reading “SUPER BOWL 50: ALL ABOUT DEFENCE!”

25% of women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime. 25%! That’s 1 in 4 women will, at one point or another, be sexually assaulted by someone. That’s a staggering high number.
And then it dawned on me, I am one of those women. A long time ago, I had been sexually assaulted, only, I hadn’t realised that I was sexually assaulted. I had my ass grabbed in a night club by some random stranger, who was walking by in a crowded area and thought it was safe to sexually assault me.
But only it wasn’t. Continue reading “I ASSAULTED MY ASSAULTER”
That face, that face, that dangerous face
I mustn’t be unwise
Those lips, that nose, those eyes
Could lead to my demise

More often than not, relationships end. I hear you say, “No it doesn’t! People get married all the time.” Yes, they do, but, unless your soulmate is also the person you had your first ever date with, then, you too have experienced an end to a ‘relationship’.
Whether it’s a single date, or a fifteen year relationship, Continue reading “5 THINGS NOT TO DO WHEN A RELATIONSHIP ENDS”
I am one of the few thirty-somethings out there who had not had the pleasure of watching the original Star Wars series, until very recently. And let’s just say, I am unforgiving of George Lucas.
Gasp, shock, horror… how dare I?! It was something that stunned my partner as well, he was absolutely shocked that I, the ultimate non-selective movie watcher that he knows, would actually criticise and hate such a Continue reading “STAR WARS VI, V & VI: NOT EVERYONE’S A FAN”
Since the advent of the internet, there has been revenge porn. And with smartphones being a common everyday tool, many of us have at one time or another taken, sent and/or received naughty pictures or videos of ourselves and/or our partners. What you do with your phone and your image is your business, as is mine is mine. However, it’s not up to someone else to exploit.
Often, women find themselves the object of revenge porn uploads. Resentful exes uploading Continue reading “GUN CONTROL AND REVENGE PORN”
