a self-declared cyborg doing cyborg stuff
The ‘Soulcruzer’ podcast (more of an audioblog, really).
Expect a blend of mysticism and music, psyche and soul, everyday wisdom, and the esoteric. One day, I might be waxing lyrical about Nietzsche’s eternal return, and the next, uncovering the wisdom of the tarot. It’s all up for grabs on this pod.
So, if first-person confessional style podcasts are your jam, subscribe to mine wherever you get your podcasts. I’m on all of the major platforms.
Q: what is it about me that i can’t keep my virtual hands off of creativity, love, mysticism, and misfit ontology?
“Remember to proceed with self-love and self-acceptance at all times, as this is the only path to real and lasting change” – Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. Will you do as much as it takes, as long as it takes to achieve your ambitions?, asks Danielle LaPorte. Great question and...
Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humour, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much. – Ralph Waldo Emerson Most mornings I go for a little wander around my town, generally a 2.5...
Midway this way of life we’re bound upon, I woke to find myself in a dark wood, Where the right road was wholly lost and gone. The Divine Comedy: Cantica I Hell, Cantos 1, 1-3 Dante found himself lost and Virgil appeared. Oh where is my Virgil! The in-laws left...
As some of you may or may not know, I started dabbling in the Quantified Self movement and tracking many of my activities throughout the course of a day. I ran the experiment for several months. My biggest take away was how much of a human hamster I am, and...
This is the last of my sloth days. It’s been fun hanging out with the family and a few friends – eating, drinking, and being merry. For about a week now, I’ve been in chill mode, winding down the year and generally lazing around. But enough is enough. The family...
OK men, add a daily trip to the sauna to your goal list for 2017. A new long-term study out of Finland found that the more frequently men chilled in a sauna, the less likely they were to develop Alzheimer’s. I don’t think you “chill” in a sauna, but we...
‘She came along and she cut me loose’, that’s what 2016 has done to me. The year has come and gone so fast, although I suspect we say that every year. But damn, as I get older, I swear the days come and go twice as fast as they used...
Hmm…lazy Sunday. But hold on a minute, I had a lazy Saturday. I probably should unhinge myself from this chair and move my body about today. Although, saying that, my body is in need of some downtime. I did move some heavy weights this week, 180kg on the benchpress: 4...
You say, ‘I’m going to write something completely new and original and very funny.’ You can’t do it. It’s like trying to fly a plane without having any lessons. You’ve got to start somewhere and the best way to start is by copying something that is really good. Some good...
When it comes to politics, I’m usually not very vocal about it online. I like politics. I was an instrument of politics as an army officer. I just tend not to talk too much about it on the Internet. But in this Bloomberg video, Milton Glaser makes two very good...
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. – Marcus Aurelius
At least that’s how I was raised. My mom didn’t care if I tried and failed, but she we go mad if I gave up and quit. There were lots of things I did when I was younger that I absolutely hated and probably would have been better off to...
I was out walking along a path I know well. I closed my eyes for no apparent reason, but I’m glad I did because I remembered this lesson: we walk by faith, not by sight.
So a billion years ago I set out on a mission to be the best version of myself by pursuing what the Greeks called arete which loosely translates to excellence in all things. Broadly speaking it’s being excellent in all the ways a person can be excellent mentally, physically, intellectually,...
Sunday, a day of rest and recuperation. I sometimes use it as a day to tidy my mind, as usually reflected in tidying the house. Somewhere between the dust and the cobwebs I realised what I really needed was a mission…
