Rest In Peace

24 July 2010 08:07 AM
For much of the last four months I have operated on autopilot, denying my feelings the opportunity to reach the surface. It’s not as though I haven’t laughed or enjoyed myself in this time, because I have, it’s more that I’ve built a wall around whatever part of the brain it is that gives birth [...]

10 Things I Hate About Paris

16 July 2010 21:07 PM
1/ My flight to Paris, which was delayed 2/ The metro ticket machine that only accepted coins. 3/ A one way ticket to Paris costing almost 9 Euros. 4/ No one around to assist tourists. 5/ The train that was so packed I had to sit my luggage on my lap. 6/ The small French [...]

It Isn’t Always Black and White

10 July 2010 06:07 AM
Dear Mum, When I imagine your childhood the moments are always black and white, mostly because all the photos I have seen have been in monotone, but partly because I know you grew up in England, and the only colours there are shades of grey. Or so I thought. My time in Salisbury, where you [...]

I Spy With The London Eye

08 July 2010 20:07 PM
The flight in to London was probably one of my more anxious flying experiences. I haven’t done a great deal of flying before, in fact this was probably my 23rd or 24th flight, but when your plane is circling above London and a bit of turbulence is thrown in to the mix, it’s bound to [...]

So Long Abu Dhabi

06 July 2010 13:07 PM
Abu Dhabi is a lot like Melbourne, only not. For starters Abu Dhabi is green. Not green with envy, but green like a rainforest, which is surprising since you’re in the friggen desert. Abu Dhabi is so green that if it weren’t for the incredible heat you’d actually forget that you were in the desert. [...]

Come Fly With Me – Abu Dhabi

05 July 2010 14:07 PM
Before flying to Abu Dhabi, my longest flight had been between Melbourne and Darwin, which is around a four hour flight. So the idea of sitting in ‘cattle class’ for 14 hours was about as appealing as watching hard core porn on my own with cheese graters taped to my hands. But alas last night [...]

Goodbye

12 April 2010 10:04 AM
Dear Mum, Nothing I write on these empty pages can fill the gaping hole that was punched in my heart by your death, and while I may have known that death was knocking, I hoped it had lost your address. But life is a one way, no through road when your driving a car that [...]

Lost

04 April 2010 22:04 PM
My Mum is a huge fan of Lost. Well, I should say is a huge fan of Sawyer, and she despises Kate with so much malignity that at times I’ve felt as though I should remind her that Kate is a fictitious character and not a cancerous growth. Since the show began in 2004 there isn’t an episode [...]

Intensive Care

29 March 2010 03:03 AM
Like most guys I don’t tend to talk about my feelings unless I’m in the privacy of a long term relationship or I’m drunk. Thankfully, a long term relationship for me consists of more time than any person can give, and anything said when drunk can be dismissed as the booze talking. Right now I [...]
