You might not know this, but there is a fine art to B grade. It is a genre in itself almost, and it takes a lot for movies to qualify for proper B grade status. Movies that try too hard to be bad, or horrors that try to be funny just never hit the mark, while movies and horrors that are too good also don’t quite get it right. To be well and truly within the realms of really bad …
Ja ja jaded In all it’s misery It will always be what I love And hated And maybe take a ride to the other side We’re thinkin’ of We’ll slip into the velvet glove And be jaded ~ Aerosmith – Jaded Letting go is an amazing feeling. It’s like unlearning all those things we learn from all the bad experiences that change us, making us closed off, jaded and brittle. Releasing all that shit that we carry around, that’s been …
Moving. It’s a word that fills me with dread, and yet ever since I went solo in September, that is what I have been doing, every month. It’s a constant push to work harder, faster, land more clients. And every month, things are just a bit better. For the first time now, this month it feels that I really am moving on up. At the risk of giving you a cheesy 90′s earworm, I’m moving on up, and nothing’s going …
Adventure seeker on an empty street Just an alley creeper light on his feet A young fighter screaming with no time for doubt With the pain and anger can’t see a way out It ain’t much I’m asking I heard him say Gotta find me a future move out of my way ~ Queen – I Want it All You know that feeling after a few bad days in a row when things turn around and stop sucking? It could …
When it comes to things like freedom, justice and revolution, I am something of a romantic. Watching Motorcycle Diaries all those years ago, I could understand just a little bit the passion and the underlying good intentions that Che Guevara had, and when Iran was fighting for their freedom a year or two ago, I followed the tweets with much interest. The stories coming from Egypt however have just been mind-boggling. After 30 or more years of oppression and dictatorship, …
This video should come with a warning – if you have ovaries and/or hormones, proceed with caution! I know it’s very ridiculous to get a bit worked up over a puppy enjoying bath time, but try to watch it without having at least some sort of reaction. I dare you!
…when you forget to take pictures. This past weekend had just the right balance – a bit of tequila on Friday night (but not too much to warrant a hangover the next day), a bit of mangorita and good food on Saturday (but not so much that I pigged out or had a late one), a lot of family stuff on Sunday (but not enough that it got too much). Also, a bit of work and a lot of mindless …
Woohoo, can you get a load of all that awesomness radiating from Sunshine Bear or whatever the heck Care Bear that is?! I know I can. It’s almost 2am, and I’m still awake, but for a rare change, this is because I have been working up until now. I really don’t mind at all though – it’s been a great day in a good week, in a fantastic month. I’m actually a little bit sad that January is almost over …
I started out this year weary, wary and a bit unsure of many things. One thing however, I was 100% sure of – whether I was alone, fat, overworked, out of work or in an even worse state than I was last year, I was going to make sure that things went my way. Taking charge of destiny, and jumping out there with both feet, bugger what may be waiting for me. As it turns out, this was possibly the …
I know it’s not November, or raining, but after a beautiful wedding weekend I am in the mood for some good old fashioned G ‘n R style romance. My wedding post is coming up soon, but what I will say is that watching two lovely friends start their life together in one of the most beautiful weddings ever has really changed my jaded outlook on marriage and weddings. It was an emotional day for all of us (not least the …
