The Incredible Shrinking Man

Almost 6 years on and I still put off making regular posts to this blog. Part of me knows nobody is going to read it so there in lies an excuse not to post but I made a promise to myself to have a place where I've put my thoughts down and look back on them from time to time. What's new with me you ask? Well nothing really. I'm back in Ireland again and the weather has been a shit pot from the minute I stepped off the plane on New Year's Day. To add to that my body hasn't quite been the same since about November and that has me in a terrible funk of late. I'm sure its nothing but rather than comfort myself in blissful ignorance, I'd like a medical professional to tell me that there's nothing wrong with me after they work their magic on me. Once that's confirmed then I'll throw myself back into a proper fitness, nutrition and general well-being regime and really take care of myself from now on. I'm also waiting to start a Digital Marketing course to tie me down until I start my masters. It's a short programme but I feel it will give me a good insight into an industry I'm planning to forge a career in. I believe people should strive to make careers out of their hobbies, its seems to have worked for Alexa Chung et al so there's some hope for me at least. There's nothing happening in my love life, but even if there was I feel its slightly crass to go broadcasting it on a public forum. If and when I find myself in a relationship, or something that resembles one, I'll be sure to make a passing comment on it. Other than that no major developments in my life, and hopefully it stays that way. =]

RIP

We now return to regularly scheduled programming

It's hard to believe I still think this blog is worth updating but alas here we are. I read through my old posts a few nights ago and that's what inspired me to continue. Some of the shit I was preoccupied with back then is comical, considering all that has happened since then! 

I'm writing this all the way in Ethiopia, 6 days before the first major milestone age a person will reach in their life. For some people 16, 18 and 21 are the big ones and i've long since passed those. They're but a distant memory for me now, some fond and some I would rather forget. My birthday used to come as a source of excitement but now its just another day. There are more important things for me to deal with at this point in my life, and I feel I need to write how I deal with them down somewhere. Maybe some day in the future I'll look back at this point in my life the same way I looked the moments I blogged about in the past. Hopefully at that stage I'll actually have a life that makes sense and gives me some sense of joy and fulfilment. 

In any case all I wanted to say for now is I'm back and in the wise words of Kimberly Jones..."You cant keep a bad b*tch down!"

Not really sure what F.Scott Fitzgerald, Jay-Z and Kanye West have in common but I look forward to finding out.

PALA

The BEST album I've heard in a long time.

Follow your dreams baby!

O FACE

I've noticed something in fashion photography lately. Aside from that holding your hips pose theres like a standard face they all seem to make









Its funny because in a normal situation you'd look like a sap trying to make the same face and unlike them you dont have Inez and Vinoodh or Mert and Marcus taking your picture!
