Recently I have been reading one of those free kindle books called "The History of the United States" by a gentleman called Cecil Chesterton. It was published near the beginning of the 20th Century, so it is written in an old fashion way and occasionally you pick up on some views that were popular at … Continue reading The Sacrifice of Alexander Hamilton
Setbacks

Personally I think how someone presents their garden says a lot about a person and I have always wanted to grow my own veg - so it was a natural move for me to dedicate some time in Spring to this aim. I started growing … Continue reading Setbacks
A New Day
I woke up early, feeling self loathing and regret. I couldn't help feel "what if?" "What if... I had been going a little more slowly?" "What if... I had left work later?" "What if... I had changed lanes earlier?" Thinking like this made me feel shitty - I couldn't change anything it had already … Continue reading A New Day
Love, sex and apps…
I stopped watching the Apprentice years ago because it was the same repetitive format. But I read a piece on one of the finalists business ideas and I couldn't help resist giving my opinion when it was revealed that finalist Vana Koutsomitis is a dating app called 'PlayDate'. Although the decision was most likely made months … Continue reading Love, sex and apps…
200 Posts Later… My Secret Is Out…
As I write this to mark my 200th post it seems fitting that as I sat in my new home the other day, the 'missus' quiet casually brings my blog into conversation. For those who are not aware - this blog is not something that the people in my real life are aware of. Its … Continue reading 200 Posts Later… My Secret Is Out…
When you least expect it
When I was younger and I had insecurities and self-doubt about meeting someone, my mum would always say "You only find love when you stop looking for it" Despite my young naive age - I thought that was bullshit. To find someone required some effort. As I spent time growing up and I experience rejection and … Continue reading When you least expect it
System: The Power of Three
I have had a bit of a hiatus from posting recently. Since starting the blog I have been well disciplined to ensure that there has been new content every week (or more) because when I started I knew that I did not want to be one of the those blogs that post inconsistently and started … Continue reading System: The Power of Three
Make time for your loved ones
So much to do in a day, yet so little time to work on my goals. If I have been out with Vicky, talked to my mum, gone walking with my dad or helped out my brother, I can forgive myself for shirking on my goals. "Always make time for your loved ones. They are your … Continue reading Make time for your loved ones
The parents meet the parents
It has been seven months since I started a relationship. When I started writing the Manifesto of Perfection accepted that I would be spending my life alone. My previous past experiences had put a distrust in women - so I could never see myself getting into a long term relationship. Then I met Vicky and … Continue reading The parents meet the parents

The rise and fall of an open mic comedian
When I went to University, I was distracted by my desire to have a go at standup comedy. During lectures I would be scribble down jokes instead of paying attention. Eventually I had fleshed out my ideas into a five-minute set. Was it funny? There was only one way to find out, so I arranged my first … Continue reading The rise and fall of an open mic comedian
