I just left a tropical paradise for one of the most polluted cities on Earth. I awoke to the sound of birds singing and geckos chirping. I had butterflies flapping around my bungalow every day as I watched the palm trees blowing in the breeze. I could walk on the sandy beaches swim in the […]
People say the internet is making us more intelligent. I can assure you it isn’t. “But, But” you might say ” it’s all the information in the world, right at your fingertips.” You cry out in protest “It’s the Encyclopedia Britannica, it’s the Star Trek universal translator, combined with a highly accurate map of the […]
I’m giving up on reality. What’s reality ever done for me? I’ve been ignored by women. I know every man complains about this, but I feel like I’ve got it worst. I live in a country which is supposed to be filled with female gold diggers. I’m here, foreign, employed, relatively wealthy, swiping Tinder like […]
People sometimes ask me what I miss about England. They might expect me to answer my friends and family, the people who I grew up with.

If I want to go to a country and spend my money there, I should be allowed to. It’s as simple as that. For what reason would the government of Blahland prevent me from entering. “Oh no! Another rich foreigner trying to sneak in and waste his money on overpriced bullshit. Well we’ve had enough […]

It’s just glasses hitting against other glasses. There’s nothing special or meaningfull about it. That is not the “ting” of fairies sprinling magic dust over you.
