We all know what a New Year’s Resolution is (if you don’t, it’s a special promise to ourselves as we enter a new year. This could be for a change or improvement of some kind). Early December 2018 I decided that between Christmas that year and Christmas 2019 I would try at least fifty-two new […]
An explanation of one of the hardest decisions I’ve made and a little bit of backstory.
A personal piece about my motivation, the thing that drives me.
A post about my view of success and how it isn’t a good motivator.
A painting my version of the Maslow model with an explanation of what it means.
Some thoughts on the idea of banning horse racing.
A wise man once said that we should always look on the bright side of life. So why are things so miserable all the time? I saw something about glorifying war. War is glorious.

I stopped doing the Old Man Cut Short posts weekly, this may have disappointed some people however I believe this gives me more time to come up with an interesting topic and gives a little more time for me to do something. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Time for me to try […]

I am getting increasingly annoyed at myself for not being able to think of what to write. I can do my reviews and I can still see the logic in things so opinion based pieces are no problem, it’s creative stuff I’m struggling with. Looking back at my most recent short story I’m disappointed with […]
Every time I write one of these posts I write about a general topic before going into how my week has been, this time I’ve been thinking about existence. I don’t know what has made me think about existence but it has brought up an interesting memory which may also do something to prove and […]
