The task is simple. Tell me what career’s you would like to have if you lived three lives. It does not matter if you possess the skill or talent for your desired career, follow your heart and tell me what you would like to do. Here are my three lives….
Music.  I can’t [...]

UPDATE: Making slow and steady progress :).  Currently up to lesson 49, really excited for what’s in store later in the course.

It doesn’t take a close friend to tell I suck at following through with projects. The way I see it, there are three responses to this.

Finish the damn thing; finish any outstanding projects [...]

I can’t touch type.
It’s not so much looking at the keys which makes this frustrating, but the clumsy positions my hands sometimes get themselves into with the weird eight-finger technique I’ve stumbled upon.  It also takes a lot of concentration to decide the best way to type ‘Aesop’, whereas typing with some kind of formulated technique makes [...]

Ben Wilson paints 2cm icons on pavements, using chewing gum as his canvass.
“I’m just going to keep going and see how far I get,” said Mr Wilson, who started his quest at the Hadley end of High Street, Barnet. “I use acrylic paint and varnish, then I’ve got a little burner to dry it. I’ve [...]

It wasn’t so much loud as…jarring, crystal clear, sharp, pointy. I had to leave; it sounds pathetic, but you can’t [...]

Sometimes you just hear conversations, or read things, which have their own profundity. It’s best when the words are humbled, or from some inconsequential origin, but have a lasting and true impact on the people who are lucky enough to stumble across their words.
“iv never had something good happen to me

So i thought i might try NaNoWriMo next month, just for the sheer challenge of getting that many words written in a month. I don’t expect to produce anything valuable or even readable, but 50000 unsuccessful words is an achievement of sorts.
Just judging by this post, I suspect the subsequent month will be spent [...]

I’m already finding it difficult to complete tasks which i’m setting myself. The problem is, as ever, having too much demand on your time.
The first thing to note is I work slowly. I don’t think i work particularly inefficiently, it just takes me a long time complete something, because i have to re-read [...]
