Summer in the British Isles is a curious thing, you spend months wishing for it in all its glory and then spend the days inside watching football when it arrives. Or I do, anyway. In an effort to avoid this exact situation, I made plans to excommunicate myself. A timely homage to Stalinist Russia. My … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Day 8

Shipbuilding – 2 weeks left.
Two weeks until voting begins. Another day, another piece of self-imposed disappointment. Life slowly ebbs away doesn't it. My coverage of this election hasn't been as exhaustive than I had originally intended but then, I ain't a professional journalist. I have a terrible job to go to. Then again, there also hasn't been a lot … Continue reading Shipbuilding – 2 weeks left.
New Perspective Required. Apply within.
I recently attended the Psychedelics for Psychology lecture at the UCL. The evening consisted of talks from some of the new pioneers in Psychedelic research in the field of Psychology.

It was delightfully funny, perhaps mainly as I watched it with my Dad … Continue reading Political Cycle Setting 2 – Extra dirty, Double stains. Broken Machine.

The crevice between my ear and ear protector would indeed fit my old headphones. This is possibly elementary for a fully fledged ear protector wearer, however I am … Continue reading Epiphanies and Mushroom Picking
My Adventures in… Cabo Polonio
Where to begin... It seems like so long ago now, but in actual fact it was just a fortnight ago that I was in Cabo Polonio, spiritual home to the Uruguayan hippies. Leaders of the free world. Perhaps it seems so long ago because there is no electricity or internet there and so everything took … Continue reading My Adventures in… Cabo Polonio
Modern Holistic Living
Compared to the average 24 year old lay about, the amount and variety of nuts and seeds I consume is well above average. I have this on no real authority, just a sunflower powered hunch. I also exercise more than the average male of my age, this I do know from various stats and such. … Continue reading Modern Holistic Living
