“Serve yourself, no one else can do for you like you” – Smashing Pumpkins, Starla Make yourself known. You are the person who cares as much about you than anyone else. No one will stick…
Falling from grace
I always think to myself what once was when I hear of people who have fallen from grace. I’m not talking about that celebrity or sportsperson who has decided to play on for one season…
Journey
We’re all on a journey, some of us know where we’re going but most of us are floating on a path to nowhere. Those of us floating are lost and look for guidance all in…
The Cloud
The other day I was burning a data DVD and my other half asked a valid question: Why are we still using these things? The answer went something along the lines of ‘most of the…
A picture tells a thousand words
Taking pictures comes naturally to me…writing is a little more difficult…as you’ve probably noticed. Assessing the light, picking the mid-tone and exposing to capture the intended mood is something that happens in my head in…
Lights are on…
…but nobody’s home. I’m founding that more and more. We all seem so distracted with other things…who knows what…but there are so many absent looking people it’s actually a bit scary. There are so many…
Glass half full
Its amazing how powerful a positive outlook can be. Regardless of what our current situation might be, if we keep our head up and look just beyond the horizon things are likely to get better.…
Reflections
Sometimes we should stop and reflect on our past…not for too long though…harping on the past helps no one. But there is one thing we should never forget and that is that history repeats itself.…
Redundancy
Technology becomes redundant before you even have a chance to use it. That’s an accepted part of the industry. The next new thing is always already around the corner. People can be made redundant too.…
Four legged friends
There’s something very special about having pets around the house. Beside keeping the kids occupied, cats and dogs and other four legged friends provide us with comfort and security. No matter what animal we’re talking…
Pan Metron Ariston
My dad always used to say ‘Pan Metron Ariston’, which roughly translated from Greek to ‘all good things in moderation’. Interestingly though if you look at each word in that phrase individually the meaning can…
Flying by
Have you noticed that time has been flying lately? It’s an interesting concept because we all now that there are sixty seconds in a minute and sixty minutes in an hour and twenty fours [or…
Keeping it together
There are some people who juggle a lot with ease, others juggle a lot and struggle, some can’t juggle at all. What I find remarkable are people who seem to fit 48 hours of things…
Value
There are things that might seem trivial to some but to others these same things are valuable. That value can only be measured by one thing: time. Value is often attributed a monetary amount but…
Twisted truth
The pursuit for truth is noble but an untainted truth is almost non-existent. Our pursuit for the real truth is often an exercise in futility. What you find, if you look really hard is usually…
Press here…
Our sense of adventure is endless…that is until we ‘mature’. There’s always a sense that immaturity is a bad thing, a sign of slow development or a consequence of non-conforming to normality. It’s forced upon…
Getting a straight answer
I’m finding that the pool of people you can rely on for getting a straight-up honest answer is shrinking. I’m not exactly sure why but it must have something to do with a lower level…
Two dimensional
I don’t think there is anything wrong with giving people the benefit of the doubt. Who cares what they look like or what kind of pram they’re pushing or what kind of hat they’ve got…
Notice
If you notice this notice you will notice that this notice is not worth noticing. Some notices are worth noticing though and they command our full and undivided attention. Like a notice which has anything…
Cafes, Coffee, Culture
I like mine strong, triple shot in fact. It helps me engage with my senses from the get go, every morning, regardless of how sleep deprived I might be. I’m also addicted to the caffeine…
Connecting
So day one has been as interesting as it has been scary. I’ve signed up to the omnipresent social media system which was surprisingly easy considering they all let me sign in (or on) with…
Making the switch…
Change can be daunting. It can make you feel lonely. Change can make you realise your vulnerabilities. But change is also as good as a holiday, and we all love a holiday! Today I’ve decided…
