My father and I were very close as I was growing up. I remember hours spent in front of the record player listening to music. My education on bands and lyrics opening my eyes to all that was slipped between the lines. He helped me through my first period, and gave me much of the… Continue reading Daddy’s girl

Tap out
Ever wanted just to tap out? Just to say, "that's it, I've seen enough, experienced enough, I'm done." I tried that once. Didn't stick. Some days I am thankful that it didn't and other days I am not. Today is one of the latter days. I am tired of everything, just absolutely everything. My words… Continue reading Tap out
What do you want?
A provocative question. I was watching some sort of irrelevant ad and this came up. The premise is that as kids we know what we want to be, what we want to own and there is little room for doubt. This changes as we age and become more aware of societal mores, desires of our… Continue reading What do you want?
Time flies
I started living a life true to myself 7 years ago. It took another year to fully embrace it but here I am being true to my own nature. I do not regret the years before that. They gave me 2 children for whom I have an everlasting love. I had a young woman's romance… Continue reading Time flies
Belly laughs and the Big Day Out
There are days when I will look at the screen and just go "bleh", or some variation thereof. The to-do list stretches past the available space, the music drones in the ear and all over is the click of the mouse and the tap of the keyboard. Just not mine. Yesterday was a Big Day… Continue reading Belly laughs and the Big Day Out
3-word challenge
I followed another blog to this one (https://brianlageose.blog/2018/03/23/writer-to-writer-the-3-word-challenge-2/) and got my 3-word challenge. The result is below. Following people on WordPress creates it's own adventures and this one was well worth it. Why are some days just harder than others? Considering life is very much work, eat, sleep with the odd variation, e.g. date, dance… Continue reading 3-word challenge
To FB or not to FB?
Facebook is getting a grilling in the media at present. Shares are all over the place and opinions just as much. Added to the mix is dear old Zuckerberg's quiet admission that soon you may have to pay for it. One of his comments that stuck was that we signed up to allowing others to… Continue reading To FB or not to FB?
#metoo, #generalstateofaffairs, #hashtag!
Hashtags, love them, hate them, feel generally ambivalent. Personally, I just find it another way for people to distance themselves while appearing to be a part of something. It's great having this social voice, but for most of us, that is all it is. An imprint on the internet and no actual involvement. When push… Continue reading #metoo, #generalstateofaffairs, #hashtag!
Blah blah and blah
Exactly how I feel right now. Everything is just blah, blah and blah ... entering in and exiting with no retention. Motivation levels are almost zero and I wonder how I am going to kick-start this whole necessity to lose weight (I really am scared of needles and do not wish to have to prick… Continue reading Blah blah and blah
Right decision?
It's been 9 years since I up and moved across the world, all the way to the bottom corner. I have been back to my birth country once in that period. I realised on that trip all the things I have "better" in my adopted country and the homesickness fled a little. But here is… Continue reading Right decision?
