2014: Year in Review

Well, here we are. The last day of 2014. It sounds like a bit of a cliché, but time really has flown. I think the older you get, the faster it goes, and I can’t believe that’s another year of with already. I’ll do another post soon, looking…

Merry Christmas

The day may be over and done with, so the title of this post may be a little late, but I hope everyone reading this had a good Christmas (if you celebrate it). The photos here are a few quick snaps from around my house (apologies for the…

Musically Inspired – Give Them Heart

What are you passionate about? What makes you excited? What do you wish you could spend all your time doing? Whatever it is, embrace it. We all have different interests and hobbies, likes and dislikes, and I think, too often, we judge each other for these…

Why I Write

Outfit of the Day – Leather & Lace

First of all, let's be entirely clear; these are fake leather shorts, not real. I seem to share a lot of my casual, daily outfits, so I thought I'd share one from a night out for a change. I used to have another pair of leather shorts, which…

642 Things – The Sound of Silence

What is the sound of silence, and when did you last hear it? What was missing? (Source) Silence: (noun) Complete absence of sound (as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary). Silence has no sound, yet somehow we can still hear it. Or perhaps we…

The Problems With The Music Industry

First up, I’m going to start this article with a small disclaimer: I am not part of the music industry. I do not know about all of its inner workings, so I do apologise if my information is incorrect. I don’t want to seem like I’m talking about…
