Not that I often struggle with my writing projects. Yet there is one that I constantly feel a struggle with. I’ll be the first to admit that struggle is in my head and it’s pretty much one I’ve not created but certainly nurtured over the last five years. It’s a piece I’m writing based on a story I read online and kinda got its claws...

Another celebrity loss that has kinda snuck up on me. While not a favourite actor of mine, his performance as Theoden in the Lord of the Rings was nothing short of commanding, brilliant and utterly human in it’s portrayal. Some actors make characters larger than life, big and bold and filling the screen utterly. He made Theoden large as life, powerful, strong, decisive yet human...

After some long months I had the pleasure of another lesson with my Shifu after he returned from China. I’ve had the thought for sometime to expand what I wish to learn from purely fitness to actual fighting mechanics and techniques. Of which he has taught all I know but certainly not all he knows. While I learned a lot today, the first piece of...

I have passions of course. And things I’m passionate about. Give me half a chance I could bore you silly about any number of topics. I’m more talking a sensual sort of passion you could say. I’d like to say I’m talking from experience but I don’t have that much. One recent experience has shown me I don’t really know how to react to that...

Had anyone asked me, after a good few drinks I don’t mind admitting, if I had any sort of fetish I’d have said yeah, I’ve got a few. Yet a few days ago I read an intriguing article from a practitioner of sensual massage and it turns out I’ve got the definition completely wrong. Turns out I have kinks, not fetishes. Kinks can easily be...

I’m talking about the long awaited Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. Honestly I can’t believe I forgot this one was coming out. And I am psyched to see it. I loved the previous movie and I can’t wait to see the original and new Ghostbusters working together. It’s been ages since I went to the cinema, too long really. I might just splash out a little bit...

Seriously, what happened to all the original and unique movie ideas of years ago. Seems like the height of those ideas was back in the days of Pirates of the Caribbean or Pacific Rim. These days it seems to be all Star Wars and Marvel and Disney Remakes. Not that I mind the Marvel stuff. Sure some of the initial hype is gone and they...

It’s true. It hasn’t. I went into the first episode of the new series somewhat cautiously. Two minutes later I was completely hooked. The whole atmosphere is a brilliant recreation of the original. The costumes, the set, the games, the music. It’s all completely spot on.

Okay, so I’m not wild about the hosting duo. The somewhat canned and forced banter is a little wearing....

I’m not usually a fan of remakes of classic shows from my youth. There are of course occasions when it can work. The Christopher Ecceston reboot of Dr Who or the remake of Battlestar Galactica for example. Yet there are also lots of examples where it doesn’t work. The recent Crystal Maze was something of a flop for me. So whenever I hear of a...

I’m not usually one for looking to the end of the year. Usually I look to the beginning of the year and things I want to do in the first few months. This year I’m going to turn things on its head and have a goal to have achieved by the end of the year.

I’ve kinda been coasting these past five years or so,...
