The Silence.
I’ve been quiet on here. Like, properly quiet. The kind of quiet where you start to wonder if the bloke who used to word-vomit his feelings onto the internet every few weeks has finally run out of things to say.…
Everyday Life
So much yet so much
Omg i haven’t written in literally for ever. Words used to flow from me like wine flows into me 🤦🏼♂️😂. I have meant to, even made resolutions to, but for reasons unknown I have not. And not infrequently, I have…
Division: the cost of covid
Division; the real cost of covid This bloody pandemic sucks a big fat hairy one in more ways than one. Wearing masks sucks. Not being able to travel or even spend time with family and friends sucks big time. Not…
Hope; a casualty of loss
You’ve probably noticed I haven’t exactly been studious with my writing for the most part of this year. Apart from sharing hilarious memes, or poignant posts by others, I seem to have ground to a halt with my introspective articles…
The apathy beast.
Had a good day if I was to be honest. Nothing stressful, no frustrations, no ‘trigger’ moments. But come early afternoon, I was starting to get that all too familiar can’t-be-fucked-with-it feeling. You know the one. It starts with the…
Autonomy; the double edged sword of solo parenting
I often spout about a major benefit of not having partner is that I get to make all the decisions. I get to choose what to watch on netflix. I choose dinner. I choose things to do. I decide if…

New beginnings? Bullshit.
It’s Easter Saturday. Day two of the 4 day break all Aussies get, in celebration of a historical Christian belief that this Jesus dude died for all mankind’s sins (as long as we made the decision to believe in him)…
Dad or rockstar. The impossible battle.
I love a surf. I love a drink (or ten). I truly feel like I am eternally 30 something. I quite enjoy pushing the socially assumed limits of acceptable behaviour for a 40 something grown man. I have always been…
Don’t be in such a rush.
You all know I constantly bitch and moan about the incessant nature of raising children. Let’s face it, a big red “off” button would get a solid workout in most families am I not right? Well I for one would…
Cheers to the end of survival living.
I’m nearly 4 years into life since Renee passed away. The time has passed incredibly fast, yet has been a long and protracted ordeal at the same time. In retrospect, and not surprisingly, I realise that the those years have…
Change; the necessary thing you don’t want.
I get it. Change sucks the big fat one. Nobody really enjoys stepping out of the comfortable little cocoon we build ourselves. Sure, if everything goes right, the end result can be euphoric and more than justifies the upheaval to…
