#105 Avoidance - 'Job Hunting With Anxiety'

#105 Avoidance – ‘Job Hunting With Anxiety’

  Enjoying the blog? like the page on facebook! The hunting season has begun. The move to Ireland is only a few months away, and I need to sort out myself a form of income. I knew this would come eventually but I am a little surprised at exactly how quickly it has happened. I’m rather under prepared. I’m not much of a hunter you see. The ‘Alpha’ males out there will put that down to evolutionary…

#104 Outed – ‘Mentally Ill For Attention’ 

Enjoying the blog? like the page on facebook! When you’re young (or Donald Trump) you do things for attention; kick, scream and whine. We want all eyes on us and for a child you can understand why. We are born into a world where we have servants who pander to our every need. For about 10 years of your life you are a mini Cesar or a Cleopatra the 7th*. So it is no wonder you expect all the…

#103 Fraud – ‘Where Has All The Depression Gone?’

Enjoying the blog? like the page on facebook! OK, this is starting to feel awkward. Like a religious cult leader who convinces everyone the end of the world is nigh. The room is packed, the grand speech is done and it is coming! The end of the world is about to happen. All you’ve got to do now is wait. And then wait, and wait a bit more… then wait some more. You eventually just get to the point…

#102 Busy - 'The Supporting Act'

#102 Busy – ‘The Supporting Act’

Enjoying the blog? like the page on facebook! When it comes to sport I’m not a great supporter, I mean, I turn up to games and wear the T-shirt, but I tend to care more about the moment rather than the team. If my team got beat in the last second by a spectacular goal, I’d get excited because I’d witnessed something amazing. An amazing moment. I think on page 1; paragraph 1 of the supporters rule…

#101 Learning - 'Plate Spinning Extraordinaire'

#101 Learning – ‘Plate Spinning Extraordinaire’

I must say I do like learning, it is the foundation of life for me. I want to learn and develop in every way I can. I want to see new things and experience new things. The only way, in my opinion, to do it is to broaden your knowledge, your surroundings and your horizons. Do it through travel, talking, reading, exploring and there’s no end to what you can learn. I mean, here I am after years of…

#100 Hospital - 'A Heart Scare'

#100 Hospital – ‘A Heart Scare’

Enjoying the blog? like the page on facebook! I don’t like hospitals. But then again, I don’t think many people do. You don’t often hear about people excited to go there, or people planning to visit a new city and saying ‘oh, we must go see the General Hospital, its beautiful this time of year’. It is not on the radar, and that is for good reason. Hospitals are shrouded in death, pain and, more…

#96 Tired - 'The Rather Long Journey'

#96 Tired – ‘The Rather Long Journey’

Enjoying the blog? like the page on facebook!   Being an extremely lucky person and being born in a rich western country, I have been fortunate enough to travel and enjoy many experiences the majority of other people in the world cannot. I am personally not rich though, and that means when I travel I have to make certain concessions. These concessions typically involve a lot more forms of…

#93 Decisive - 'Should I Stay Or Go?'

#93 Decisive – ‘Should I Stay Or Go?’

Being a young guy with a nice childhood and zero traumatic events, I am not used to serious dilemmas. The kind of dilemmas I am usually faced with are things such as; which pizza toppings to get, or whether to hold the door open for some one who is slightly too far away. In short, I’ve had things easy. Yes I have had to decide on past relationships or travelling but even still, things have been…

#92 Pre-occupied - 'The Waiting Game'

#92 Pre-occupied – ‘The Waiting Game’

Enjoying the blog? like the page on facebook!   After school in England you have the chance to go on to College or 6th Form, this is education for people aged between 16-18. I was strongly advised and pushed agreed to this next step, but the college I chose was in a city about 12 miles away, so I had to get the bus every morning. Naturally living in a privatised capitalised society the bus…

#91 Perspective - 'Social Anxiety'

#91 Perspective – ‘Social Anxiety’

Enjoying the blog? like the page on facebook!   I‘m not so precious with possessions, that is to say that I care less and I don’t hold products in high regard. Don’t get me wrong, I admit they can be alluring if not useful, but equally they are just things. When I was younger I’d often go around to friends houses and find that I was not allowed to use certain cups or mugs or plates because they…

#90 Planning – ‘Now, That’s A Good Idea!’

Enjoying the blog? like the page on facebook!   Planning is not my forte*. I know what it is and what its purpose is, but I just never seem to be able to do it. At the start of each year in secondary school every student was given a planner, and a big bowl of apathy. Both seemed as useless as each other, but they were handed out every year without fail. I never made much use of the apathy and the…

#88 Convention – ‘An Outer Body Experience’

Enjoying the blog? like the page on facebook!   There are a few common ways people seem to experience outer-body-experiences, or OBEs as the cool kids call them. This can be through extreme-physical-effort (EPE), during deep sleep, or from near-death-experiences (NDE). I’m not sure the list is exhaustive, but I do have a new entry, as I had an OBE today. We need to add; ‘sitting-in-a…

#88 Excited – ‘Best Holiday Ever!’

Enjoying the blog? like the page on facebook! Growing up my family didn’t have a lot, it was a typical working class english household. That is to say we always had a big TV and played football all the time. My mum always wanted me and my brother to have one big memorable holiday though. She thought that we may never have the money to go on a lot of holidays in the future. Disney World Florida…

#87 Exhausted - 'Creative Flow'

#87 Exhausted – ‘Creative Flow’

Creative flow, or ‘in the zone’, as it is sometimes known, is a state in which we are so focused and so in tune with our mind, and absorbed in an activity that we seem to flow through it. Anything seems possible and your brain operates at its peak capacity. Time seems to slow down, but simultaneously speed up. The energy and creativity just pours out of you as beautifully and as plentiful as the…
