Well, another year over, and a new one just begun. (Or to put it another way – I think 2015 was great, but for 2016 I just can’t wait!) Have you ever listened to that original Christmas song by John Lennon and Yoko Ono? It’s called Happy Xmas (War Is Over), which might be obvious to you…
Do you ever look at all of people who wear shirts with the statement “old school” emblazoned across the front, and shake your head? I remember a stretch of time when it was a very popular type of slang, especially with people in my generation. It was used to refer to gaming, music, and fashion especially. But pretty…
Have any of you experienced serendipity recently? Or ever for that matter? No, I’m not writing about the John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale lukewarm romcom of the early 2000’s, I’m referring to the phenomenon where you get lucky and find something of value when you weren’t looking for it and more importantly, weren’t expecting it. I mentioned…
I’ve been thinking about what I should write for today pretty much all of my waking hours this past week. Sometimes I chew on a theory for months (anticipating the date to share it with you), other times the theory appears in a flash of light.

Are you ready? For this week’s instalment of Stimulating Sundays, I’m going to write about the fantasy genre and provide a relationship between it and the development of creative ability between family members, dear readers. The story I’m about to weave could very well be rather complex or overly simplistic, the only way to know is…

Sort of like grownup versions of Grimms’ Fairy Tales. Okay before we move on, did you click on that picture yet? Please…
What a strange world we live in, my dear readers. Human beings have a wonderful capacity to either create or destroy, to build up or break down, to protect or attack, to love or hate. That statement I just made isn’t a new one, in fact, lots of us have heard it before through various channels. Probably one…
So I have this theory, right? I know, crazy of me to suggest this – I never have those. But just hear me out alright? I have this theory that hard work does pay off, but in order for it be worthwhile, you do have to work smart too. One of my painting professors in…
A wise man named Roger H. Lincoln once said that There are two rules for success… 1. Never reveal everything you know I’ve happily been following this line of thought for the past year, slowly but surely revealing my ideas and goals for this blog. Most of which have been met with positive reception so far….
Dear readers, I’ve been thinking about the power of love a lot this past week! If you’ve ever been witness to the wonder that is the Back To The Future trilogy at any point in your life, you’ll know the song I’m thinking of and the incredibly strong association it has with the original Back To…
