Dig yourself a hole

-

Make big promises.
Burn your boats.
Set yourself up in a place where you have few options and the stakes are high.
Focused energy and serious intent will push you to do your best work. You have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. (Better than the alternative)

Guest Blogger 6: You Are Lucky To Be Reading This

Oh joy, never mind my earlier post . I got my good buddy Tariro, over at October Madness to do the writing thing for me. Love her post like I did. --------------------------------   I went to a youth gathering some time back. Albeit I was feeling a bit uneasy  because the only person I was sure I would know was my cousin. But much to my pleasure when I arrived I met a girl I had learnt with in High school, we will call her X. X was always the pretty one; long legged and pretty. I was really glad to see X because now I knew more people than just the one person I had arrived with (purely selfish reason). We get to the part where someone needs to read the Bible (World best seller, did you know?) One gentleman decides that X should read to the group. My “past teen years brain” tells me he was just trying to get her attention, I did mention that she was pretty, right. Guy: X should do the reading X: ahh guys ...

He categorically called them faggots, and fairies. I was passionately bestowing virtues upon the colour when his phone rang. "Hello dear," He listened. "Honey can you call me back? I am in a very important meeting right now." it was He rung off and we continued. Just when i thought the light of understanding had gone off in his head, his phone rang again. It was his wife. What follows was a conversation that made me think that hiding all Facebook activity could go a long way in saving all happily married/daring/swinging couples. "Honey, i am still in that meeting call me back." "You are in a meeting?" He rolled his eyes and said yes. "You just commented on your ex-girlfriends status." "Well i got bored and i..." ...

Public Toilets Freeze My Pee and Other Stories

 If you cannot see this I am terribly sorry, I am not a techno geek and drawing that took all the skills I posses, don't give me that squint eyed judgy look. Any how If ever I make the mistake of not using the bathroom before I leave home, this is what I will be forced to use. That lovely  lady stands sentinel at the door and asks for 50c every time some hapless pedestrian wonders into her domain. She is a council worker; her job is to keep the loo clean, she does not. The one time I tried to use the toilet the very sight of it froze my pee, it wouldn’t come out. There was filth everywhere!  I liken her to a giant troll that lives under a filthy bridge, or an ogre that revels in its own filth. -------------------- In other news... ...A picture is worth a thousand words. This happened yesterday.
