I’m going to hit you with a set of clues, and you can decide which one was the decider for my 1st marriage ending: Choosing “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” as our wedding song- the lyrics “everybody needs a little time away” Me saying “It’s not my fault you are such a stupid human being” […]

The weather is pretty shitty today – here in Queensland.  Dark, rainy – just glum really. If a day could have an emotion – and I like to think they do – today is lonely. How do I know – well, I spent a hell of a lot of my childhood lonely.  Mostly because I […]
