The mammoth musical monolith that is MTV.Music television……it sucks. Badly.Its corporatised, homogenising, nonsense is rotting the brains of everyone.And THEY DON’T PLAY ANY FUCKING MUSIC! I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT?I remember and cherish the time when I could actually turn on MTV and see music…it was a revelation – music 24-7 – aContinueContinue reading “MTV makes me wanna smoke crack”

Sign "☮" the Times: 2007/ 08
New year makes everyone a bit more reflective. Not that I’m any different – I too look to how the last year went, and what the next year could hold. I’m not too enamoured with the idea of New Year’s Resolutions though…I mean every moment is another opportunity to turn something around…a new second/ minute/ContinueContinue reading “Sign "☮" the Times: 2007/ 08”

Ich bin Ein Auslander
Sometimes I think my opinions make me a foreigner. Or perhaps someone who is flying the flag for the great British Eccentric.OK sometimes I know my views can be a bit different; challenging maybe. That’s why I have this blog so I can write and say what I want and think.I’ve been thinking a lotContinueContinue reading “Ich bin Ein Auslander”

No-one said it would be easy
Well.It’s been a very long time.And so much has happened since I last posted…I’ve got married and been on honeymoon, entered my second year as a fully-qualified teacher, learned how ambivalent I am about myself, recaptured my love of guitar, reminisced about university years, learned about Africa, and completed community (leadership) service.Even more interesting isContinueContinue reading “No-one said it would be easy”
Life is a rollercoaster
Have you been on Oblivion at Alton Towers? Check the pic.I’ve discovered/ created that preparing for a wedding is like that ride.You wait in a long queue. The anticipation begins to build. You hear the screams of on the ride. Is that terror? Is that delight? You think you have ages to wait.Slowly, almost imperceptibly,ContinueContinue reading “Life is a rollercoaster”
Friends will be friends
Not to get too cheesy, but getting married is a big deal.I’ve also learned a lot about friendship during this process. I mean – being a friend is different from being in an intimate relationship, or being part of a family. I can exercise choice over my friends. It’s heightened even more with the phenomenonContinueContinue reading “Friends will be friends”
I'm only Happy when it Rains
The weather leaves much to be desired. Whatever happened to the great British summer? It’s July, and I should be struggling to wear my black suit/ black shirt/ black tie combo to school every day – but I’m not at all.Perhaps this is all a result of climate change?I’m sure the rain isn’t always bad,ContinueContinue reading “I'm only Happy when it Rains”
