October – A Month In Preview

A notable step for October is the start of themed months for the work I do at the YMCA. I’m actually hoping the theme itself will be of benefit to life beyond the YMCA but it’s a good base to start. The theme for October is Freedom and Slavery. It’s fitting for a number of […]

Rubi-con and Dancing Mackerel

The other day I was out with a friend and while we were walking I noticed this advert. Now I’m not in the business of advertising products and I’m glad this ain’t the BBC or I’m sure I’d be censured for bringing this up. Anyway I took a careful look at what the key line […]

When I think about it on a roll there are so many thoughts actually worth writing that […]

Da Nu Man CD (kinda)

I don’t hate my image, as in the photo you see at the side when you access the blog, but I have for a while considered a change. My friend recently took this photo of me and it was just right. I don’t know how to change the photo from the image that it’s on […]

Intransigence and Tony Green

Intransigent. What a word. Apparently it means refusal to budge or as the wordnet.princeton dudes put it adamant: impervious to pleas, persuasion, requests, reason; I was thinking about that word and its relation to God. I live in a society that wants things its own way. We want to watch our own kind of programmes […]
