  • Love your Enemy

    Love your Enemy

    Robbed this concept from my Dalai Lama book… If everyone is constantly nice to you, if your life is comfortable all the time, then you are likely to be a horrible, angry and just a general bellend.

  • How to Stop Worrying

    Some steps that help me: With a ‘change in household makeup’ on the way, I’ve found myself worrying quite a bit about work, so I thought I’d bash this blog post out before going to work… Accept that worrying is useless – focusing on the negative, only makes it more likely to happen.  Accept that…

  • The Culture High – Summary

    Being a big Joe Rogan fan, I thought I’d give this a watch. Pretty interesting, just like The Union, which came out before it.

  • Furniture Free House? Beware the Couch!

    The couch, or the sofa, the lazyboy; whatever you want to call it; is the route of all evil as far as healthy eating and weight loss is concerned. Here are some reasons behind this harsh analysis of mine: 1. We consume junk foods, ‘mindlessly’, without any gratitude or appreciation. If you are watching TV…

  • The Best & Worst Willy Extension Cars

    If you are a bit of a gullible chap, and believe all the marketing messages that are fired at us daily, you’ll see a car as part of your identity. Remember, it is important to share your new car-purchase on social media to let your ‘friends’ know what a man you are. But how many mm…
