The Start – Again
Oh hey look, writing, yeah about that … I’m not going to sit here & talk about how I am going to get back on the blogging train, I might, but I can’t make promises right now. Somehow, someway I’ve found myself in a strange place. When I started the blog it was in a... Continue Reading →
How I made twitter a better place (for me)
Twitter is an odd thing, for a long time I wanted nothing to do with it. Then as I realized that you could be on the front end of breaking sports news I got sucked into it. Over time I eventually actually started tweeting as well as consuming. But to be honest, I was done... Continue Reading →
Growth – a summary
I have finally finished the self-examination writing assignments I set myself early on in the life of my blog. As I go through my awakening this year, God is answering one of my longest standing prayers, tell me who He says I am. I am going to start here with this summary of what I... Continue Reading →
Career change?
So following on from my last post. I think it is clear that I need a career change. However, what exactly do I mean by that? The easy, rational (maybe) & certainly worldly thing to do is to go find another job. If it is my industry that is the problem, then I should go... Continue Reading →
Freight Jedi
Continuing in my series of essays(?) under the banner of growth, I am finally getting around to looking at my career. I have been delaying on this because, well I don’t like to talk/think about my work & also I knew it would force me to look at the future. Well I’ve been looking... Continue Reading →
Music 3: The non-adventures of a guitar player
I play the guitar, I have now played the guitar for more of my life than I have not, which is crazy for me to think about. What is also crazy is that there are probably many people who know me who do not know that I play, when I tell them they are surprised.... Continue Reading →
Music 2: The journey of a listener
Ok, so i inserted an image of the guitar I called Excalibur in my youth, only because if I didn't, the worst piece of music I ever bought was the thumbnail on Facebook. If I'm going to get embarrassed you should at least have to read the blog 🙂 So let’s go on a journey of... Continue Reading →
Music 1: Thoughts
Today seems like an appropriate day to at least start my exploration of what it is I love so much about music. Of course everybody likes music a lot of people love music, but I feel it is time to investigate what it is that has fueled my long love affair with assorted notes. Why... Continue Reading →
Video Games; guilty pleasure or just a hobby?
I love video games but for many years I have been uncomfortable publically admitting that. Why? Well there is, at least in my mind, some kind of public stigma about those who play games. We all know the stereotype, nerdy glasses wearing kind in a basement with no life. Yet of my generation, there are very few... Continue Reading →
Sports; a journey towards a balanced perspective
I love sports, I have as long as I have been aware of them. Football (of the soccer variety) is my favourite, but I love many many sports. American Football, Rugby League, Basketball, Baseball, Cricket, Athletics, Cycling, almost any event at the Olympics on & on. I used to have a very unhealthy perspective on... Continue Reading →
Family
If what I believe is the thing that most defines who I am today, family is what defines my why. When I say family I am talking about 2 people, my wife & my daughter. I have a lot of family spread over the globe & I love them all, but my family is my... Continue Reading →
What do I believe?
What do I believe? This seems like a strange question to ask of myself. My beliefs are firm & unshakable (trust me I've tried), yet there are things I need to ask myself about within that. I believe God is real, I believe the bible is true, I believe Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ. I believe... Continue Reading →
Identity
Identity, it is what defines us. It is what we believe in our heart of hearts to be true about ourselves. Our decisions, our reactions, our behaviors all come in some from our core identity. If you ask someone to describe or define who they are they will generally come up with a list, a... Continue Reading →
