I am a big fan of MOvember.
For those not in the know, it is a charity event where eligible males grow a moustache for the month of MOvember and raise money, and awareness, for men’s health issues.
Last year I ripped off a cracker of a Reynold’s style slice of goodness. This year, sadly, I am [...]

Life abounds with so much to do. I find that there is never much down time, and quite honestly, I would barely know what to do with it if I stumbled across it. When I am presented with quiet moments I feel bad if I don’t do anything with them. And I use that word [...]

I’m watching Willy Wonka and the Choclate Factory, not the creepy Johnny Depp version, but the original. The classic. The best. Everytime I watch it I’m amazed by how great it is, even though it really shouldn’t be a surprise. It consistently rocks the shit over the many years I’ve been watching it.
I can remember [...]

I am spit balling some notes for a new idea I have. It’s very much early days, but I love the feeling of a new idea. It’s still all doughy and like wet clay, it can still become anything. I have a few different ways to go with it so have to nail down the [...]

I can’t force myself to write. It would just never work. And, I’ll even admit, not every single word I pump out is solid gold. It’s true.
When something is kicking well inside me I just have to sit down and write it. It has to come out of me. It’s a feeling I get and [...]

I have to go on a school trip for the week. That means three to four days of no writing. I could take my laptop down, or I could take some notes down for different things to work on, but I know it would be no use. Ninety four kids in our nation’s capital for [...]

I went to uni for four years. Lived in Earle Page College. There I learnt to drink beer, lots of it and quickly, write crappy assignments that have nothing to do with the job my qualifications earned me and procrastinate.
Sitting in a room trying to work can be the last thing your brain actually wants. [...]

Still working on the Ego proposal. I really just want the finishing touches done, but it has to be just right. Man, perhaps I am just a little too pedantic about it all. I don’t know. Perhaps I just don’t want to send it off because I’m worried it might actually be shit…nah, I’m just [...]

I’ve been gone for two weeks. I’ve travelled many a click to go right up the Australian coast, right back down it, got over 2000 clicks done in one day between planes and automobiles, no trains though, and caught up with many people. Drank a few litres of gin, some port and ate a lot [...]

Having finished my purloined idea, I find myself floating in a sea of uncertainty.
When I’m working on a project I am completely wrapped up and immersed in it. It is just about all I can think about, and then when I am done, I find myself mentally wandering. I know I still have to proof [...]
