Something that I have missed from my previous two entries. I have started reading again. After an absence of some four years, which has meant the last time I picked up a book was during my last A Level English Literature exam. Shameful, I admit. On Monday, I decided against reading a book. I wanted […]

Smooth. That is how I would describe several people I know. But predominately I have noticed something. That the smoothest people I know, are black. There is just something special, unique or sophisticated, in the way they pull this off. A friend for example, would put on his shades, plugging his iPod and head of […]

I was driving home from a friend’s house late last night, traveling on my favourite road. I am not sure exactly why this stretch of insignificant tarmac has become so important to me. I suppose, because it is the final leg of my journey as I return home and enter the home counties, my home […]

Never forget those true heroes of our time. For many, their act of bravery and courage was their last.

The 40th President of the United States, passed away yesterday. A strong symbol of 1980s America. The news was overshadowed, by the 60th anniversary of the D-Day landings. I have been enjoying some of the coverage on the BBC. History is one of my favourite subjects, and the Second World War, is the greatest topic […]

Firstly, I wish to extend my deepest apologises to many of my friends. The last few days, and this holiday weekend just past, have been extremely hectic. I have tried my best to keep in touch with everyone and let them know what is going on. I know this has not always been possible, therefore, […]

As a general rule, I try to blog, as soon after the event as possible. However, you must understand that this is not always possible. This weekend, has been one of those moments. I tend to have a strange blog. When there is nothing of great interest going on, I blog regularly and almost erratically. […]

My housemate Nav told me that he knew a ‘Strickland’ back at his secondary school. No relation to the case of the bully, recently in the news. To understand the significance of this comment, you need to go back to my entry from Friday 23rd January 2004. I have not had the pleasure or (discomfort) […]

We all have expectations. Expectations on how you will feel at certain milestones in your life. That all important 16th birthday, 18 and of course 21, the true coming of age and entering adulthood with real responsibilities. I am trying hard to compare the current milestone in my life with others. In reality they do […]
