It's not Shady this time, it's me, but feel free to tell a friend. It's been a long old while since I posted on here. There's no grand excuses, no fairytale story of finding peace or grand successes, neither is there a heartbreaking tale to share with you all. I just haven't done it. There … Continue reading Guess who’s back, back again…

Escaping My Reality
When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it." - Winnie The Pooh (A.A Milne) I was trying to find a … Continue reading Escaping My Reality
Fatal Attraction – Social Media
There has been plenty written about the perils of social media recently, the scandal of celebs using their platform to advertise goods to their loyal fan bases, the horrific vitriolic comments targeting people's race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. What doesn't seem to be getting much coverage is the post of your Average Joe / … Continue reading Fatal Attraction – Social Media
The Straw That Broke This Bear’s Back
The car accident didn't literally break my back, but not too far off. The chronic nerve pain caused by the herniated disc was actually taking longer to sort out than a break to one of my vertebrae would have, and with that delay comes more pain.

Crash! Bang! Wallop!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j4Av4xAV600 December last year saw another major change for me, and my now fiancée. Christmas has always been my favourite time of year.

Happiness Is A Choice
I've lost track of the amount of times someone has said to me, "happiness is a choice". It's like they truly believe everyone who is battling depression or anxiety has woken up that morning and thought, "do I want to be happy today? No, I'll take another day of darkness". Happiness is sadly not a … Continue reading Happiness Is A Choice
Success Breeds Success
“Researchers found that early success bestowed on individuals produced significant increases in subsequent rates of success.” - Sicence Daily, April 2014. I can’t necessarily disagree with the findings of the scientific study above. An element of my life would in fact back it up. I can’t deny that in terms of work, I have enjoyed … Continue reading Success Breeds Success
Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution
What do you do when your world comes crashing down? The Ministry of Information produced three posters during WWII. The most famous being “Keep Calm And Carry On”, but one of the lesser known of the trio read; “Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution, Will Bring Us Victory”. The stiff-upper-lip stoicism of the Victorian era … Continue reading Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution
