Because not all of us want to wear beige…
March 1989, I was probably just doing my GCSEs, or at least pretending to revise for them, and The Stone Roses released their first (self-titled) album. I have to admit, this one passed me by at the time. Most of the Madchester scene did, to be fair. It wasn't until I went to an open… Continue reading Fools Gold
I think we can tell what this blog is going to be about, can't we? I've woken up this morning to the news that the orange one has bombed Iran... I haven't written for a while, to be honest; I haven't been in the mood. My mental health has taken a dip after a series… Continue reading Two Tribes – Carnage Mix
I am on a roll, another blog in less than a week; and another one that really needed to get out of my head. This one is potentially one of the hardest ones that I have birthed, but my CBT sessions are making me think more about how I react to events around me. The… Continue reading Just leave me alone…
I am sitting here on a Friday afternoon trying to think about what I want to talk about. Not usually an issue, but today inspiration isn't exactly flowing through my veins. It's been a while since I've flexed my writing muscle, but it's also been a mad couple of months, both personally and work-wise. Probably… Continue reading Motorcycle Emptiness
It's been a while again, right? What was supposed to be a place to dump my thoughts has become like a graveyard of late. But that is ok. I feel like I am waking up again, I don't know if this is good news or what! Back in November, I wrote about wanting more. I'd… Continue reading Enjoy the silence
Can it really be four months since I last blogged? I think it can - and there is no shame in that. Life has been doing its usual thing of kicking me in the bollocks sometimes, except I don't have any, but you get the gist, right? So what has been happening? Well, my dad… Continue reading What the hell is going on around here?
I am feeling reflective on a late Sunday afternoon in November. I've been talking loads about what has been and not much about what will be. That needs to change. After all, we're not going backwards, are we? As always, a song is linked to the blog's title. It feels like this is a thing… Continue reading More!
I am 50. I have no idea how I got here, but one thing that I've started to realise over the last six months since my birthday is that I am different. I really noticed this yesterday when I was wandering back to the car after being in the Trafford Centre with my sister. This… Continue reading Love me or leave me
This is not the first time this has been the title of a blog or an article. I originally used this over on LinkedIn as a title for an article which talked about the transition from corporate to freelance work, back in 2018. You can read that article here if you feel like you want… Continue reading Can you see the real me?
Before we even get into this blog, you need to know as soon as I think about the title, I am singing 'It's Tricky' by Run DMC. I need to get that out there - because it's sending me crackers! What we also need to get out there is 'it's tricky' is probably the biggest… Continue reading It’s Tricky
