Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
Yes, that image actually says "Hey Lazy, Get Busy!". Don't be offended, there is a reason I say this to you all! "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." Winston Churchill Over the last three years I have been through a couple of semi-traumatic moments. They...

I am. I can. I will. This is just a moment. About five weeks ago I posted on Facebook how my broken ankle is impacting on my mental health, my inner turmoil with a lot of other factors happening in my life, plus the displeasure of not having an income from my small-business. I also... Continue Reading →
This is my mantra that keeps me going every day. Be Happy, Live Smart, Stay Strong Because I have had bad days, even weeks and months. So way back in 2017 I decided I needed something that would and could stay with me even on my dark days. Over a few months of revisions, I... Continue Reading →
Hey guys, yes, I am talking about topics closer to home, yet again! FYI: About half of this journal is now dedicated to sharing my self-improvement journey, with the aim of ensuring that the lessons I've learned can be helpful to anyone who reads it!

If you have seen my Facebook page, you'll see an image I created for my header that reads: GRIT - THE RAW ENDURANCE, PERSEVERANCE, PERSISTENCE AND PASSION THAT KEEPS YOU GOING, DESPITE OBSTACLES. I read this somewhere and decided it needed to be an extra mantra in my life. Because sometimes life is tough to... Continue Reading →

But not knowing when it would appear on their site, I am publishing it here also. After reading many reviews on the thousand series, I went with this heritage... Continue Reading →
In my last post I showed cartoons and manipulated photographs in response to the current atrocities happening in the Ukraine. In an attempt to locate the original of these cartoons, I resorted to TinEye.com . This revealed that most of the photographs originate from Russian websites that have been turned off, at least for now.... Continue Reading →
There's a lot of reading in the article this originated, so I have extracted just this one section. I'd call it a 'tl;dr', but it's still very long. Let’s say you go to Dave’s Cafe for your morning coffee and a little emailing before you head into the office. Dave’s a smart guy, so he’s... Continue Reading →
#America, you can continue to infuriate and amaze the rest of the planet. You need to reduce gun accessibility. Licenses must be much harder to attain. Yes, Australia has had horrific gun massacres - we fixed the problem
https://youtu.be/Wg_wIH3uvZE What I like most about this video is what you can see happening in the last metre: ~ First and 2nd place slow down, presumably thinking they're so close to their goal that they can casually jog through. Yes, they're still going pretty damn fast, but just watch their movements, you'll notice they are... Continue Reading →
1. Some negative opinions are from people with no self confidence. Some are from people with no imagination. If you have self confidence and can imagine, then their opinions don't matter. 2. Most negative opinions are from people who cannot imagine you succeeding. That is their problem, not yours. Stay focused on your success. 3.... Continue Reading →
The title is not misleading, it's a serious moral to this story. At about 8am this morning I flicked on the radio - right as they were doing a 10 question competition.
