100 Loves - Numbers #20 to #1

20. Arsenal
My first true love, but it's an abusive relationship. They keep hurting me, I keep going back to them.

19. World Cup
"Southgate you're the one, you still turn me on!" - Nowt' brings the country together like a World Cup!

18. Bubble Baths
Sure, showers are fun, but they're so fast. A long hot soak at the end of a busy day is the ONE.


17. Miami
Idyllic beaches combined with metropolitan City life. As Steve Angello said, "Miami is the BOMB!"


16. Star Wars
Evil robot overlord chops his son's arm off whilst his daughter gets choked by obese slug. Sounds edgy.


15. Night Drives
Poorly lit country roads, starry twilight skies, chilled playlist on the radio, nothing but pure vibezzz. 


14. Above & Beyond
Life is made of small things like our AnjunaFamily. 'You are surrounded by your future best friends'.


13. Cuddles
I'll take bants for this, but who doesn't love being cuddled up in bed on a Saturday morning?!


12. Winchester
The most charming British destination of them all. Quaint Alfredian houses, and a stunning Cathedral.


11. Ushuaïa
Watching your favourite DJ, in an open-air setting, whilst planes fly overhead. Not a dream, a reality.


10. Oliver Heldens
Brilliantly talented, hugely likeable, and a ridiculously strong beard. Immensely proud of his journey.


9. Strawberry Daquiris
The G.O.A.T of the cocktail world. The key to success is a thick syrup, and not too much lime.


8. Third Party
The peak euphoria of progressive house, surrounded by the smiles of the Release Fam. 'Take me back'.


7. Chicken
The greatest meat of them all, name me any meal that isn't instantly improved by chicken. You can't.


6. Spotify
Life without music is meaningless, and here's an app packed with the only universal language we speak.


5. Cafe Mambo
Chill-out tunes on the decks, the sea-breeze brushing on your face. And the best sunset on planet Earth.


4. Creamfields
Whilst many festivals focus on the superficial, here's an event that relies on raucous electric atmosphere.


3. University
The greatest days of my life. The debauchery, the drama, the cheap beer. Soaked in nostalgia, forever.


2. Avicii
The most gifted musician of our era, and the main reason for 'EDM'. Won't let him fade into darkness.


1. Ibiza
Heaven on earth. Ibiza is not a destination, it's a feeling. If you 'get it', it'll stay in your soul forever.

20th July: I was assaulted last night

Image
Last night was just an absolute fucking disaster from start to finish, tbh. After finishing work (working from home), I set off at around 7pm to reach my destination as I was needed back in the office for the rest of the week (our office doesn’t have A/C so we were allowed to work from home on Mon & Tues on account of the heatwave), though it soon dawned on me that this was not going to prove a simple task. I arrived in London around 10.30pm and found both my 10.30pm and then 11.30pm trains had been fully cancelled. The reasoning they gave was that the tracks couldn’t handle the heat, but surely metal is strong enough to withstand even the most potent of temperatures?  As hoards of fellow commuters gathered around the departure board, looking forlorn at the rows of cancellations on the electronic board, I managed to earwig on a small group of middle-aged folk who were heading to the same destination as me. Seeking their advice, we attempted to grab one of the very few operati...

15th Jan - Dancing Queen

Image
Well, last night got a little interesting huh? I fell into 'the basic bitch trap' of jiving around to commercial drivel in one of those overpriced cocktail bar chains where a faint waft of Paco Rabanne & Gonorrhea fill the air... Be At One, All Bar One, Insert Other Name Involved 'One' and 'Bar' here. I've realised, that like many of you, when intoxicated, I possess a complete alter-ego. A gremlin inside of me which comes out to play and completely does away with the sober version of myself. This alter-ego is dangerously confident, sassy and sensual, and most worrying of all, delusional when it comes to dancing. I can't say I've ever been much of a dancer, I mean sure... I'll give it a go. I have rhythm at least, but I'm now at an age where I'm probably old enough to be able to pull off ' dad dancing ' and give the word some real personification. Last night consisted of myself & my equally intoxicated pal putting on live...

29th December - The MOST important life skill you'll learn

Image
I've spent much of this year musing a range of important and philosophical ideas and thoughts. Real deep analysis on human behaviour and psychology. And then sometimes I've just blogged about Kebabs. But there are a few really important takeaways which I can pass on from this year. The first is that when we talk about eating healthy, or 'being healthy', we alway focus on weight. Fat burning, weight loss, muscle gain etc etc. But one thing very few people talk about is that exercise, or eating nutritious foods, is first and foremost the biggest self-care for the mind. That is definitely something I discovered this year when comparing my moods on days when I stayed in like a slob, or days when I partook in my hourly walks. By clearing the mind and allowing yourself that period of isolation in fresh air, you are delivering a type of therapy to yourself more powerful than any self-help podcast, or life-coaching course. The second thing I've learned, thanks to both Jorda...
