Upon Reflection It has taken me months to determine what to write next about singleness. I wrote a few months ago on how the dating scene has changed, even within the last few years. Furthermore, I touched on how some of the advice I'd had in the past did not reflect the reality of male-female... Continue Reading →
J G Hamann on Language
Poetry is the mother tongue of the human race, as the garden is older than the ploughed field; painting, than writing; song, than declamation; parables, than logical deduction; barter, than commerce. A deeper sleep was the repose of our most distant ancestors, and their movement was a frenzied dance. Seven days they would sit in... Continue Reading →

Singleness Now, 1: Slight Revolution
This is my first post of the year! Huzzah. It only took till April and a Pandemic to get off my butt and write something. I wrote a few posts on singleness a few years back. When I wrote these posts, I was in a really terrible place with regards to romantic pursuits and had... Continue Reading →

To make a living off these interests is not impossible but is more difficult than other... Continue Reading →
Oh, Ian (A World Suicide Prevention Day Poem)

The lead singer, Ian Curtis only 23 took his life at the young age of 23, not long before the band were to set out on their North American tour. He suffered from depression... Continue Reading →
Music Review: Slipknot, ‘We Are Not Your Kind’
I remember back in 2000 when I was getting drum lessons and a friend of mine lent me Slipknot's self-titled album. I was talking about KoRn and he said he'd 'moved on' to heavier music. I was naturally curious. When I got home and pressed play, I heard something unlike anything that I'd ever heard... Continue Reading →
Final Thoughts on Moving to Tokyo.
Presenting yourself as someone who 'has it all together' is important in Tokyo - a city full of those who, by all appearances, appear successful. But if you dig below the layers, there is an emptiness that engulfs the soul. The product of this is the salaryman or student trying to find rest on a... Continue Reading →
Brother Lawrence
“The difficulties of life do not have to be unbearable. It is the way we look at them - through faith or unbelief - that makes them seem so. We must be convinced that our Father is full of love for us and that He only permits trials to come our way for our own... Continue Reading →
