This is where I talk from a more personal perspective about things like mental health and life experiences.

Would Michael have ever thrilled again?

Good evening friends, hope you're all swell. It's been a fair old while since I posted and to be honest, it's with good reason! I've been working full time and chipping away at my dissertation for third year (yes, I am already working on it) so I haven't really managed to find a spare moment to sit down with my laptop and write something. Seeing as though I managed to get away from work early this evening - a first for a long time - I thought I'd share my thoughts and opinions on something Continue reading [...]

That’s a wrap!

Good afternoon, long time no see right? It's been a fair old while since I wrote to you but to be honest, the past few months have been pretty hectic; university work, my job, socialising and generally being a responsible adult (spending lots of money and staying in bed all day) has meant I haven't really had a free moment to sit down, and just write.

Happy New Year!

As the title says really, Happy New Year! A little premature I realise but knowing the flaws of technology, the internet is sure to crash as soon as the clock hits midnight across the world tonight.

I saw a program last week about the natural disasters of the past year and you have to agree, there Continue reading [...]

October Rain

Afternoon everyone. How're you all doing? A post really just for the sake of it today, and because I'm bored. The title: inspired by the Guns n' Roses song November Rain, but because it's October naturally I changed it. But it is raining though, and has been all weekend - pretty miserable really. So currently I'm sat in the newly revamped York St John University library on one of the supposedly brand new computers, which, will not allow me to access Facebook (but I can still use Twitter, so all Continue reading [...]

Did Religion Ruin Prince?

Good evening readers, how are you? As I've been sitting in my loft room at my dad's for nearly the past week I have rediscovered my admiration for the work of the Artist Formerly Known As An Unpronounceable Symbol, the one and only, Prince. So what? You're writing a blog post to tell us that you've gotten back into that skinny mother fucker with the high voice? (to quote the 1987 song Bob George)? Well not exactly. I've been working my way through his vast catalogue of hits and performances, Continue reading [...]
