Day Seven Hundred and Twenty Four
Tuesday, 21 February 2012, 1.34am
It has become apparent that reliance of the masses on social networking sites, such as Facebook, has become fearful. Social interaction, functioning, and communication are now dependant on them. For this reason, for the 6 weeks of Lent, I am withdrawing myself from social networking sites to experiment with its impact, and commemorate the Temptations of Christ.
Day Seven Hundred and Six

Making life worth while is a driving point for me. Being able to look back, when I reach the end, and truthfully say that I LIVED is such a vital part of my being. In many ways, that has caused issues. I began to regret things I didn’t do, thinking I should have done them, and things I did do, thinking I should have done more. It’s paradoxical. But the...

Day Seven Hundred and Three

Toy Story 3. A majorly anticipated movie, enjoyed by kids and adults alike. Those who freely admit to watching it are full of nostalgia. Those who claim they’ve never seen it are in denial. As a movie for kids, it has adventure, it has fun, and it has toys. To us though (the arguably wiser, more serious viewers), Toy Story 3 is much more than a story about toys; it...

Turkey sandwiches, homemade Macaroni Cheese, late afternoon cloud gazing, and midnight swimming…
When your world is filled with ‘To-Do Lists’, your mind creates lists of its own. These lists are more desirable, more fun, more enjoyable. They result in a reduced mood and procrastination. Except, when time arises, these lists disappear and...

There are those who are content with coasting; drifting wherever it may be. This observation is unlikely to be groundbreaking news to you, yet it is an observation that occurs frequently without recognition. Occasionally these people may step out of one river and into another, only to coast once again. It seems to be a desirable asset; such a free, and easy way...

Day Six Hundred and Ninety Three
Thursday, 19 January 2012, 1.13am
At certain points in your life, every living thing can frustrate and confuse you at the same time. It strikes the question if we really are created as a social species. After all, we are the only species that fight wars, and that constantly desire to become like those who would not survive a natural selection.
It is during these times that being dead to the...

You can tell a lot about a person by their smile; if they infact choose to give one. What instigated their smile is even more revealing.

It doesn’t matter how familiar something may be, it can still be fairly daunting.

Day Six Hundred and Eighty One
Friday, 6 January 2012, 1.29am
Serenity is in a rural night sky. The sound of the air rumbles with an empty presence. Air, as it moves, should be silent, yet in the dead of night it stirs. One bright flicker of light stands prominent; a stationary, golden glow. Shining silver pinpricks in the blacked out blanket begin to reveal themselves, stretching in every direction, further than the eye can...

Day Six hundred and Seventy Four
Friday, 30 December 2011, 5.41pm
It’s around this time of year, people begin to look at themselves and realise that they want to make a change. Perhaps they don’t care for their job or their relationships, or perhaps they want to fit into that swimsuit for summer. Whatever it is, people vow to themselves that they will make a change. Statistics show that the vast majority of these...

Change is so vital to survival. You can repute this statement but it’s true. Think about it. If you continued to do no exercise, or forget to brush your teeth daily it would be detrimental to your health. Petty examples, yes, but if you didn’t change these habits your survival wouldn’t quite be as certain.
Then again, what is survival? Existing or...
Day Six Hundred and Fifty One

Seventy One whole days of nothing occurring virtually, yet Seventy One whole days of sheer madness in reality. Although through that madness, nothing has altered. Not really. Surroundings, people, and places shift…but the nuclei remains unchanged. Perhaps, if anything, it has been exposed. Exposed very little, mind, but comparatively it is showing more...

And yes, you have a sense of freedom lingering about you, one that you have longed for once, yet you don’t know what to do with it.
What one may perceive as music, another may critique as mere noise. What one thinks of as art, another may see no value in. What I may consider writing you may consider babble. It makes no difference what the work is. The...

When the world is so vast how can it be that a simple thought can have any meaning at all?
Scholars and psychologists can theorise all they want, they can use all the fancy wordings they want, but they can’t run away from the fact that their research amounts to nothing. Some things just don’t need answering and they know that really. No matter how...

Do we ever really know what is going through the minds of others? If not, can we ever really know someone?

There’s something strange about as I lay there listening to the rain bounce of the stones out side. It was surreal. Somewhere amoungst nostalgia, regret, guilt, freedom, tiredness, fear, excitement my mind was racing. Yet it felt all but none of those feelings. Perhaps indecision and indifference would better use to describe .
Are the brain and the mind...

So I’m finally out here on my own. Years worth of worrying, waiting, working for this moment and it finally arrives. I can’t honestly that it is as I had thought or hoped it would be. It is simply nothing. It is just another day and another hurdle. But it is good. It is a leap forward. I am a little closer to wherever the finish line may be....

Would you allow fear to consume you? Would you let it stop you? In theory, no, but reality is an entirely different thing.

Do I? Don’t I?
Day Five Hundred and Sixty Two
Saturday, 10 September 2011, 12.39pm I’m doing things I’ve only dreamt about before, yet I feel nothing but nostalgia. An uncontrollable longing for things that I didn’t want when I had them. Don’t you think that that’s ironic? When you are no longer in possession of something, you are instantly ridden with desire for it. Conversely, as soon as you possess it, you no...
