Where did it all begin? Where will it end? What happened in the middle?

If all the world’s a stage, what part am I playing? The puppet? The pirate? The poet? The pauper? The pawn or the king? Or indeed the fool? I want to be the knight in shining armor dashing forth from my castle keep to slay dragons. What dragons shall I...

I was Robin Williams in Deconstructing Harry today, out of focus man. It was just one of those days were I never quite seemed to get in gear. The highlight of my day was meeting Jenny for panini’s and coffee at the Border’s bookshop in Leicester.

I feel like I’ve been busy being present and by being present I haven’t thought about all the things I’ve been setting up to do in the future and now when I sit and reflect I feel like there’s so much I need to be doing that I haven’t done....

I’ve been…I don’t know where I’ve been. Where ever I’ve been, it hasn’t been on this keyboard like I should be. To be fair, I have been writing a character biography which is just over 5 pages long. I have two characters, but no story and I’m not sure which...

I started French Lessons last night. I was a bit disappointed because only one other student turned up and the teacher or tutor was quite evidently not used to leading a class. I want to learn conversational French. This cat started off teaching us grammar which is absolutely boring, or...

I start my new contract today. I have the pre-game jitters as I always do before a new project. I am feeling a bit time starved at the moment. Time seems to be speeding by faster than I get things done. I have to remind myself that all I can...

The cacophony of my emotions has created a great buzz in my head. I am over excited, almost to the point of stunned confusion – like a white hot poker in my mind’s eye. I secured a nice coaching contract that’ll take me through the next couple of months. I...

The world is closing i cannot see the sky. Trapped like the wings of a Cabbage White between the thumbs and grubby paws of the little blonde tyrants kicking around in the grass fields. Gird up your loins like a man, things will work out fine The Shadow lingers over...

This is the last day of my holiday. It’s been nice sitting around generally relaxing, but now it’s time to get busy.

I’m in Bristol sitting in the conservatory watching the world wake up (well my little part of the world anyway) to a brand new year. I love the optimism of the new…so much promise…so much hope and good will. Let us set sail into the unknown and make 2005 a...

here’s my whack at the 2004 survey being passed around…

i am all men and no man floating through space and time looking to connect with those who want to connect to know another human being in this desolate soul sucking society we call civilization…gone are the shackles but slaves we still are…how clever…do you deny it? i deny it...

My soul is wrapped in conformity Trapped between your white sheets and warm pillows We talk of time and things dear Your breast half exposed untouched but dreadfully near How many times has the dawn whispered my name Taunting, teasing, tempting me away From the comfort Of your conformity I...

Another Christmas has come and gone. I hope all of you out there who read my words have had an outstanding holiday regardless of your faith or beliefs. I hope the festiveness of the season has at least brought some of us closer together even if we don’t know why....

I may have an opportunity to join a 4-man crew who will attempt to break the world record for fastest rowing time across the Atlantic. This is the kind of adventure/challenge I dream about. And like all adventures, the fears, doubts and obstacles can begin to look insurmountable. Family and...

On a Pale Horse (notes) I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the Earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beast of...

I trace a line in the sand, my footsteps upon time. Fade in. My Life – The early years 1968 -1976 born Beth Israel Hospital, play time, newark nj, almost lose my eye, eat sand, father away on a ship, man shot in front of me bleeding stripped to his...

1. Grab the nearest book. 2. Open the book to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions. 5. Don’t search around and look for the “coolest” book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you....
