1st April - I'm moving to Vancouver!



A huge life announcement to make today... After giving it some thought for a long time, I'm going to be leaving the United Kingdom, and starting a new life in Canada. I've never actually been to Canada before, but I've heard great things from people who have sampled the country. I've seen the beautiful national parks, the crisp blue lake at Banff, in the heart of the Rockies. I've marvelled at the gushing lakes of Cape Breton, and I feel like now is the time for change. 

The final nail of confirmation in this decision was hammered in, when speaking to Zoe, a friend who spent two years in Canada and regularly tells me she's ready to return at any given moment, such was the quality of life out there. The crisp unpolluted air, and a relaxed way of life, thanks to a society filled with humble and polite souls, filled with internal gratitude. The U.K is/was my home, but it's corrupt to the core. There are far too many idiots in our society who vote for the wrong things, enabling detrimental changes to our lives, by handing over the keys to the Kingdom to the most incompetent.




Here in England, we regularly end up in a worse position as a society and wonder why our cost of living has skyrocketed after marking down a 'Leave' vote in the Brexit box. The ignorance and stupidity of our people has proved the bullet for which we are now shooting ourselves with. That's not for me, that's not the life I want. So I'm moving to Vancouver. For peace. For tranquility. For a new beginning, as of 4th May 2022. May the force be with me. I hope you'll all come to visit me at some point, and I hope you'll all know that, sadly... 






... This is an April fools joke and I'm going to be stuck on this dreary island for a bit longer.

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...
