I'm finding that when I get the same thing occurring in many areas of my life within a very short period of time it's time for me to learn a very specific lesson. Recently I found myself feeling rejected, in various ways, in 6 or 7 different situations over the span of a week or so. …
I was watching an episode of United States of Tara the other day when I had something of a realisation. In case you don't know the show, here's the back story. Tara is a woman with dissociative identity disorder (aka multiple personalities). For the sake of TV, they are 5 (or 6) very distinct & …
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. It enables us to look back & say "Oh wow, that was a complete waste of a day.. or 10 years." Wouldn't it be useful to know in advance if something was going to be pointless? Or how about just at the time? Even cutting that wasted 6 months back to …
Particularly in recent years, reading & writing have taken over our lives. We communicate primarily by text an increasing amount of the time. Facebook, Twitter, email, IM, SMS, blogs, forums, the list goes on. There are some very real problems with communicating by text.

I've been online a very long time. Since the late 80's. That's before what we currently know as the net was much more than a twinkling in a small handful of San Francisco computers. So, I've had a lot of time to think about the intricacies & common pitfalls of meeting someone online. The first …
Ever heard that saying "What you resist persists"? Ahh yes. I've noticed a few patterns in my life recently. In general, I've spent the last few years on a bit of a spiritual journey. Clearing out, well, pretty much everything. The downside to this is, as I've got clearer, what remaining crap is there has …
Now, from a title like that, you may be thinking I'm talking about those lifetime events that mark our place in history — ala Bill Gates selling DOS to IBM, or Lawn Chair Larry. No, I'm talking about the moments that define our character, and as a result, ultimately us as human beings. It breaks …
I was at a friend's place having a coffee when I saw the weirdest thing (to help you out, I circled it): Can you see it? Nope, neither could I, at the start. However, we'd been watching the cat (a delightful Burmese). The cat had seen something interesting, so we were curious what it was. Usually this …

Nobody has their shit together, or has all the answers. No matter how much they pretend otherwise. This, of course, includes me.

I had a realisation recently. Fundamentally, the only person that has any control over how I feel is me. I choose how I feel.
