I’ve always toyed with the idea of making a T-Shirt with the question ‘do you even know you are alive?’ But am less angry with the world these days. As I look at the mental health of the world and my mental health I am sure being mad at people is counter productive. For example, […]
Now I Think I Know What I Am Doing
Somewhere earlier in this blog, I wrote about 12 Weeks being agony and often this makes me think what was happening before. Life has never been so good. Hang on, stick with me. You won’t need a sick bucket for this bit. It is just not so manic now. ‘Manic’ is a word used out […]
Three Stories That Pissed Me Off This Week
A couple of the things that piss me off in the world are manipulation and outright greed. As you know I am a huge fan of tribes, communities and collaborations. Somewhere in a Stephen Covey book about ten years ago I read a line about about being interconnected and interdependent – it was what I […]
Getting it all in.
As #Babybernie has grown up I have shouted “focus” at him when he was doing things like learning to eat with a fork for the first time or was holding onto the sofa to try and walk. This killer comedy line has come back to bite me in the arse. The arse bite happened at […]
Under Pressure – Childhood to Fatherhood to Fascination
WOW! My spine tingled. I had forgotten this. Two of my favourite things ever (other than you my reader) are Queen and David Bowie. I had the Queen Live Magic! And played it until it broke. Back then we lived in Southampton, went to school on Hayling Island and only person in our road had a […]
A Sentimental Journey Through Spain and Italy #1
I have not done anything all day. Quite literally I am too excited to move. Tomorrow #Babybernie and I are off to Italy to a magical little place called “The Rural Hub” for the OuiShare Summit #7. Around 70 of us from all over the world will sit around and collectively discuss, decide and vote […]
Falling Towards Argentina #01
I was air drumming to INXS ‘Devil Inside’ very loudly and getting worried that my trousers would not make it through the day. The September sun was pouring in the window and I was really excited as I had just been invited to join this thing called “Gmail” – Oh and I was going to […]
Neill! Neill! Orange Peel!
So #babybernie has moved it all up a gear. As I write he has piled up the cushions from the sofa and is lying on top of them by way of protest. The ‘disruption’ is over cooling down his porridge which spoon to use. You would think I had put all his toys and his […]
Just another 30 day blog challenge… #23
Ok so this is your next post and you have already started. What is going on with you today and what do you want to share?. Really? I am so fucking chuffed that I just can’t stop writing and can do it so fast. So how about how far you have come and that you […]
Just another 30 day blog challenge… #21
It was 1997 or maybe even 1998 and I was wondering around Canary Wharf where I worked, I felt like a teenager and was certainly acting like one. I had just only just got over big relationship number two and little did I know I was heading for big relationship number three and a couple […]
Just another 30 day blog challenge… #5
Last night I could not dare to sleep. I knew the best thing to do would be to sleep and then wake up and hope it was all over. So of course I stayed up and felt even more shit this morning. Luckily I had the internet and was able to pass the time watching […]
Learning to share….
So there I was tweeting away and suddenly I’d fallen into building the sharing economy.Not single handedly of course – lots of faster, taller and smarter people with letters after their name started long before me. I was not looking for it, nor was I particularly mad about it. I joined Zip Car because I […]
#Babybernie sat up and yawned, shook himself, and thrilled with delight…..
#Babybernie sat up and yawned, shook himself, and thrilled with delight. This was seeing the world in real truth; this was life as he would have it – bustling and shouting, the buckling of belts, and beating of bullocks and creaking of wheels, cooking of food, and new sights at every turn of the approving […]
