If like most of us, your calendar is looking decidedly fucking empty for the next three or forever months, welcome to the Covid Club. And we’ve all seen the announcements about things being cancelled and fuck, we get it. It’s all cancelled. Everything. But not really. Some things aren’t cancelled. There’s plenty of awesome things [...]
Amidst all the upset, angst, frustration and yes, for some, even anger and outrage amidst a shit tonne of event cancellations, I’m here to deliver you some good news. “What the fuck? Good news?!?!?” I hear all you lovely little runner people cry out in unison. Yes, good news. The good news is… you didn’t [...]
I was supposed to write my next book long before now. Like years ago. Maybe three. Ok, five. If I’m being really honest, which I am, my first book was a bit of a cop out. I wanted to write a book about living in Cambodia called ‘The Swashbucklers Guide to Blowing Up Cows’ - [...]
Ever wondered how fast change can happen? When shit goes tits up, all sorts of people will tell you all sorts of things about why things can’t change. You'll hear all sorts of rational explanations about why it can't change or how much time it will take or people will resist because change is uncomfortable [...]
With Easter just around the corner, I thought I'd share this little piece I wrote a few years back when the annual "They're trying to ban Easter!" outrage kicks in. Sometimes our greatest enemy isn't 'them', it's 'us'. It's us believing the bullshit. It's us agreeing to be divided and conquered. It's us being hateful [...]
I remember when I first got into running and I thought what a great, inclusive, and inexpensive sport it was. Because I can be hilariously fucking naive at times. I actually still remember saying to someone on one of my early runs “oh wow, everyone is just so nice” and them replying “oh, you just [...]
OK, here goes: As a few of you may know from other social media channels, I have become the latest target of a well known sociopath who has a long and public track record of attempting to destroy people's lives. That sounds a bit dramatic, but it's sadly 100% accurate. Some of this person's actions [...]
So we all know how completely messed up the Aussie bushfires are. Lives and property lost, environment decimated, animals and potentially entire species gone forever. We're all doing what we can in our own way, at whatever level we can. I know we're all being bombarded with fundraisers left, right and centre and there's only [...]
I'm not really a fan of being called a 'grinch' just because I don't celebrate western Christmas or even the Gregorian New Year. I'm not particularly offended by it, mind you, but I also don't love it. Each to their own. And for as long as I can remember, I've just not really been one [...]
Some people use the 'virtue signalling' accusation thing as an insult. Like saying what you believe in is a bad thing. Like if you don't do enough to back your beliefs up, you're a shit person. But you know what's worse? Fucking asshole signalling. For example, by trying to give someone shit for virtue signalling. [...]
