We’ve done it! We’ve reached the end of Bloganuary! Some prompts have been more interesting than others, but overall I’ve enjoyed this experience. On to the final prompt… ‘How do you feel when you look at the stars?‘ I often feel quite humble when I gaze at the night sky. As humans we find it […]
I gotta say, this is getting weird… Describe yourself as a tree. I don’t quite know where to begin. A tree?! Well… I’m gonna go with an oak tree. An old oak tree. An old oak tree that’s been weathered by time, and an old oak tree that thrives in summer.
How are you changing the world? I’d like to think that as and when people read my posts or tweets, or listen to my podcasts, or watch my videos, some of the readers/listeners/watchers can see that my aim is to inspire and make people think. I am unashamedly left of centre on the political spectrum […]
Today’s prompt is ‘what is on your music playlist right now?‘ Insofar that I have a playlist, it consists of whatever filters through the free version of Spotify that I use. There’s a bit of Gavin DeGraw and Rob Thomas on there. There’s some Rachel Platen. Sometimes I’ll switch it up and listen to movie […]
Where do you go when you need solitude? I find peace in quiet moments at home, as and when I have the house to myself for brief periods. I don’t need long – sometimes an hour is enough – but that peace and quiet can be relaxing. It’s like letting out a slow breath. It’s […]
What is your favorite part about yourself? This is a difficult question, for I am not given to self love. I am easily my harshest critic. That said, I’d like to think I have an optimistic nature and this keeps me going, even in the face of various idiots, ignoramuses and miscreants that I’ve ended […]
Write about what makes you feel strong. Hopefully we’re not talking about physical strength! My strength comes from having purpose. My purpose? To keep a roof over the heads of my daughter, wife, and myself. There have been times when I have really not wanted to go to work, where I have dreaded the day […]
Oh boy. This one feels made for me. Write about a dream you remember. I have had a dream where these guys (the Borg from Star Trek) were hunting me. I’ve had a couple of dreams involving zombies, one that featured creepy marionettes in a factory coming to life, a number of dreams about going […]
Interview a fictional character. Interesting notion. There are many fascinating characters out there who would be worthy of a conversation. Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Darth Vader. Thanos. The Joker. Yes, I’m aware that with one exception, I’m thinking of traditional sci-fi and fantasy villains. Maybe that’s because the best villains stop and make you think. Imagine […]
‘What is your favorite quote and why?‘ There are several quotes from various sources that I have come to love. Choosing a favourite isn’t going to be easy. From the 12th Doctor: ‘…because love is not an emotion. Love is a promise.’ Also the 12th Doctor: ‘Remember, hate is always foolish, and love is always […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
