Greetings, all. Today I want to consider waste. That vice shared by all who live in wealth and decadence. The thought came to me as I was reading Dune, by Frank Herbert. In the novel, the Fremen who live on the desert planet consider water to be wealth. Water is scarce, and it is such a crucial part of the ecology of the planet, and life in general ( Read more... )

Hey guys! Today, I want to talk about dancing. Yes, that perplexing art form which involves the movement of our limbs and other body parts oft forgetten. Why do I want to talk about it? Well, there's something about the concept and the activity which has made me actively avoid it for years, now.

I’m one of those people who never really valued dance ( Read more... )

This is part of two of the Layman’s People Series, a common place observation of people and their personalities. Today, we will be dealing with the Judge. That person, out there, who has to question everything you do, question every way you do it, and question the purpose of the action itself. He (and we will assume, for our purposes, that the ( Read more... )

After that rant about the education system, I feel it’s only appropriate for me to discuss the concept of divergent thinking and creativity, being the things which school supposedly stunts in our minds. I haven’t read Sir Robinson’s book/s and as such, anything more detailed than what was contained in the video and on Wikipedia, I cannot speak for ( Read more... )

There is a concept of Divergent Thinking, as I learnt in an RSA video by Sir Ken Robinson, about the Education Revolution. If you haven’t seen or heard of this concept before, it’s definitely worth a watch. I’m aware that everyone is up in arms about Kony right now, but I’m going to address another issue first, for now. Being - the failure of the ( Read more... )

Greetings fellow law-abiding citizen. I’m here to write general, wide ranging statements about the Law, because… well it’s my chosen profession, and frankly I find it fascinating (to a point). In the future, when I’m doing case readings, I may post summaries and such things, but for now, I’m going to address, very briefly, the most common place ( Read more... )

Greetings travellers of the mind! Welcome to another day of unpredictable writing about unforeseeable topics with unknowable consequences. (Like the strange, entirely unrelated title ( Read more... )

So, apparently writing stories and joke entries isn’t necessarily good material, at least not for all my audience, so I’m prepared to write something a little more serious. Today, we’ll be talking about YOUR HEALTH. Ooh, yes, that should catch your attention ( Read more... )

So in this world, where posts are written after their due date, today is actually Sunday! What’s Sunday usually about? Religion. That’s what I associate it with anyway. This is starting to feel like a heavy entry. But it’s probably just another loungey type of discourse. You know those good conversations you rarely have with your friends, maybe ( Read more... )

There is no part I to this series. It was lost in an incoherent jumble of censorship, inhibitions and lack of content. Relationship Problems? Part II is nothing of the sort. I just answer some people’s questions about their relationships! (The people may or may not be entirely fictional/imaginary. Also, the advise may or may not be entirely useless ( Read more... )
