Of Semantics, Sexuality and Sensitivity

How sensitive is too sensitive when it comes to the use of language and its affect on people? Added to that, how many people need voice their offense at the use of a particular word or phrase before we demand its removal from the language?

Good For A Laugh

Was it ever more than just a chase, a game to claim a prize? Was it all strategic, and not authentic? Did you pat yourself on the back? Good on you for having a crack, another one under the belt. Change focus quickly, there’ll be another one imminently. I guess it’s all good for a… Read More Good For A Laugh

Ramblings

And see, the funny thing is, occasionally you can read too much into a situation. You can over-analyse everything, and make something out of nothing. You can try and stop your heart with your head, which never really works out well. You can ask yourself and others a million questions in an attempt to figure… Read More Ramblings

A Problem For Writers

You know what I find the hardest part when I write something? That people always recognise themselves, even when they weren’t the inspiration in the first place. And that when I write I risk hurting people who aren’t in fact the target. When I write it’s because I feel the need to get something out,… Read More A Problem For Writers

Before You

I wonder if the sky was as blue before I met you Or if the stars shone quite as brightly in the dark? Were puppies just as cute and did wine taste just as sweet when I drank it without you? Did flowers bloom as prettily did birds fly round so gracefully were people just… Read More Before You

LIKING PEOPLE.

A friend of mine said yesterday that people liking each other is the most important thing in the world.
