Yes, it’s true, I’m still going to the Gym. And no, I’m not just sitting in the lounge area for an hour drinking the free coffee. Oh no, I do all sorts of manly running and cycling and weights type things. I’m even starting to enjoy it, sort of. Not in any kind of ‘actual’ [...]
Well now that I’m back I should probably try and get this ridiculous challenge over and done with, or at least moan about it a bit more. At this point it is only sheer stubbornness that is driving me forward. I can’ imagine that if I let it wither and die unfinished that there would [...]
Well hello there. Yes, I’ve been away, but there is a reason for that. His name is Jacob. A tiny bundle of awesomeness and heart melting loveliness he may well be, but he is also very tiring. Well, not so much him being tiring as much as trying to fit another person into a life [...]
So you may have noticed I’ve not been around much lately, the reason being the rather lovely and handsome little fella you see here. My gorgeous little fella arrived on Thursday morning and every day since has been a blur of doing stuff, cuddling him, cleaning up his sick, and trying to catch furtive little sleeps where I [...]
As I mentioned before, I am now trying to balance out the massive amounts of chocolate I consume by going to the gym. Also known as huffing and puffing for a bit while feeling self conscious about how much better shape everyone else is in, before doing a frankly embarrassingly round of weight machines and [...]
Song 26, Soundgarden – The Day I Tried To Live Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away (Sunderland, to be precise) I used to own a bass guitar. Don’t laugh. It was large and unwieldy, and for the first year I spent at University, I attempted to learn how to play it. [...]
Last night I sat in front of rolling news and watched the city of my birth on fire, held hostage by marauding thugs and vandals, looters and thieves. I saw the street I used to live on filled with riot police. I saw buildings on fire, and I watched my Twitter feed filling with tales [...]
Song 26. The Frogs – Meet the Frogs. In a week when world stock market prices are tumbling, and the never ending cycle of apocalyptic news headlines continues to beat everyone into a listless depression, it seems prudent to try and lighten the mood a little. Laughter being, you know, good stuff. So, funny songs. [...]
Some of you may remember my somewhat ill-fated Year of Health project, in which I spent six months of last year on an ultra health kick, losing over two stone in weight, then spent the next six months on a reverse unhealthy kick, gorging on cakes and ships until I was exactly where I was [...]
Song 24: Clutch – (Eulogy for a) Ghost. Wahay, and we’re back! I figured it is about time to finish this rather idiotic challenge off, seeing as I’ve only got seven more to do and they happen to be the ones I’m more interested in. So, funeral music. Well, this is actually something I’ve given [...]
