It's Been A Long Time

It’s Been A Long Time

It's kinda like when you're in a club, and a whole bunch of songs are playing. You don't recognise a single one. The next song comes around and your ears perk up. You recognise something familiar. Before you know it, you're dancing to Britney Spears. "Hey! It's been a long time mate. Let me

Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water

I'm an innocent man really. I treat people well, and I expect people to treat me well also. Sometimes they don't. Sometimes they wish me ill. They attack me. They abuse my trust. Sometimes it confuses me. Sometimes it hurts. Sometimes, it breaks my heart. However, my heart always heals. I

Women Will Test You

"Why don't you go talk to that cute girl over there?" said Nicole. "...You're right, I will." I got up and walked to the other end of the carriage, and sat down next to the brunette. "Hey what's up?" I said. "My name is Jones." "Christine," she said, almost from a daze. I started talki

Faith

"Excuse me, can I ask you a few questions?" "...Sure, I guess I have time." "Have you heard the word of Jesus lately?" "Yes, I've heard it. I don't think it's changed since last time." "My name is Brad." "Jones." "Tell me, have you ever lied, Jones?" "Well, yes." "What does

The Big Issue Pisses Me Off

I see ads on the sides of trams, with a picture of a wizened ex-bikie ex-crim with a Gandalf beard. He's saying "You buy it for $5. I get half." Why does this piss me off so much? The circular logic of it baffles me. I've never heard of anyone discuss what's actually in the Big Issue, only that

Unstifling Your Creative Intuitive Side – Free Your Mind

“I am so out of it. I don't know what it is – I feel like I'm slurring or I just can't talk properly. I can't socialise now. I feel retarded.” “Oh man – I know that feeling. I get it at work some times after saying the same pitch thirty times. I'm not sure if I'm saying words or ju

The Captain Jack Sparrow Effect: How unlikely actions yield outstanding results

The Captain Jack Sparrow Effect: How unlikely actions yield outstanding results

In any discipline I've ever been involved in, there are always certain exercises that seem completely abitrary and useless. Amateurs, people with an amateur attitude won't try them. Their egos won't allow them to. They say that they're above that, they're good enough they don't have to do these s

The Scientology Experiment

This video was shown at a Scientology convention. It was only ever intended for initiates to see. A lot of people watch it and think Tom Cruise is crazy, but to me, it made a lot of sense. It does sound kind of wacky, because he talks using Church jargon. He talks about individuals taking
