When Cupid Calls

What is this crazy music anyway?! I'll always be a bachelor, a pani- Hang on... No, sorry, that's the Dirty Brit...! Apologies, I felt the need to sneak that in as an appropriate beginning. Well... Last week's post was a rather serious one which I was very nervous about sharing. I really opened myself up more than I have before here, though I was a bit of a misery-bones, which I feel bad about. So I'm going to try and make up for it with this one. While it's not exactly going to be a laugh-a-minute piece, I'll add some humour where I can. Normal service is resumed (almost)! Okay, today's topic is Cupid. Or, more accurately, the idea of Cupid.

Not-So Chinese Whispers

I've spent the majority of today trying to think of how I could write this post in a way which would let me get my point across, but without it sounding too much like a sob story. The method I've chosen probably isn't going to be perfect, but please bear with me, because it's the best I could come up with. The majority of what I've written in my blog as a whole has had some kind of lighthearted or humorous underlay. This one's going to be different. I've been inspired to be serious for once, and to start being honest, both with you and with myself. Now, while that doesn't mean you're going to get all of the gory details here, the message is still the same regardless. Admittedly there are people who know me who will know the context a little better, and will understand what I'm about to talk about, so hopefully this will be a way of clearing things up a little. Hopefully. I've rehearsed the wording of this in my head for most of...

Theoretically Speaking

Warning: This post contains some ramblings which some readers may find offensive and/or sufficiently mind-blowing (if I do say so myself). Parental guidance is strongly advised. So, there have been times when I've had random epiphanies, and come up with my own theories about different things. One or two of these may have been mentioned in my tweets, but this is a more in depth look at them. This has mainly occurred throughout the last few years, since my mind has become a little less innocent than it used to be. Some of these ideas have come to me at the most random of times, and are equally as random in nature, which will probably give you a bit of an insight into the way my mind works (just in case Twitter hasn't already done that). I recently discussed some of my theories with a fab friend of mine, which later led to some research into a couple of them, with his help! So today I'm going to share three of my current theories, and what was found out from our joint...

Power of Perspective

It's surprising how much thinking time you get while you're working at a place like a library. Especially since my focus has been shelving and shelf-tidying, I've found that my mind wanders into places I've never discovered before, and I've come up with some deep, if strange, ideas about random things in the world. I'm going to cover some of my more pressing theories in a separate blog post, but in this one, I thought I'd share one of the many wonderings I've had about the world and the way it works. I actually started writing this a few weeks back, but now that I've rediscovered it, I thought I may as well put it out there. While it may seem like a pointless stream of consciousness, it's actually an example of one of the strange ways in which my brain works. So...enjoy!
