“Let’s use the power of words to help others and imagine the positive impact we can have on the world around us.”

The Internet Reacts
‘The internet reacts’ is a phrase that gets used a lot these days. Normally it’s in reference to some non story about a psuedo celeb. Am I the only one who finds this ridiculous?

Emotional support canine who needs support?
This random musing on the dog had me thinking about our connection to animals and the natural world in general.

Satire – Funny or Too Far?
It’s not just edgy comedy, it is a tongue in cheek look at this world of ours and how ridiculous it can be at times.

Now what?
Looking back on 2022 there seems to be a collective agreement that it was a real bastard of a year. Pardon my language but sometimes there aren’t any polite words to adequately describe it.

Familiars
For as long as we’ve existed we’ve sought out animal companions whether it was to assist in hunting or to offer a unique friendship and connection.

The Kingdom of Ashes
There once was a kingdom with a fierce but fair ruler.

The Deadly Sins
Is the fear of an almighty a good enough way to keep people following a code of morals?

My hero
We all need some inspiration. We all need someone to look up to. What do we seek in our heroes?

Why do you have to be that way?
I’m going to be blunt because as you will find from the content of this article that’s how just how I am.

Whatcha reading?
Had the chance to catch up on reading. Here are my favourite books. What’s yours?

Dinner for Four
It’s an age old question that seems to be important to a lot of people. You most likely would have been asked it in your life in some shape or form and that question is, ’if you were to invite anyone in the world (living or deceased) to a dinner party who would those guests…

Hell Awaits Our Unfortunate Inmates
Bring me that one and that one! He appears to be at a loss. You will all reminded I AM THE BOSS! Prison life in this instance is a descent into Hell.

Television and Cinema: The big vs small debate
When I was younger the big screen was held as the epitome of the entertainment industry. There were popular television shows but if you really wanted your name in lights the cinema and the great red carpet premieres were the ultimate goal. Is this something of a bygone era now?

Reasons to Smile
We can find ourselves feeling overwhelmed but sometimes the simple things are the ones to make us smile the most.

Success!
Where have we come from? Where do we plan to go? What have we offered the world around us? To me those are the true measures of success.

Toxic Free Zone
I have hit on this subject matter before but since it is something that really resonates with me and it seems something that so many people have to deal with in their daily lives I am going to broach the subject again

Holiday Hums and New Year Bugs
I can almost hear the collective moan as we recover from a year long hangover of lockdowns and all sorts of other struggles. Regardless of that I hope you all had a great holiday.

The dark parts of your mind
What is art if not to influence? What are the dark reaches of the world if not to explore? What is curiosity if not a little on the morbid side?

Mothering Instinct
How would society be if we just treated people they way we do with mothers with young children in tow? how far we would go?
