Going after our dreams can be an expensive pursuit. The Buddha Siddhartha Gautama said that to pursue our wants and desires was to stray from the path of spiritual enlightenment (although to add a little perspective, he grew up up with everything his heart desired available at his whim).
Like the Buddha (and to a lesser extent Paris Hilton), I would like to be a party girl first and then a great spiritual leader.

So I thought we are well overdue for a good blogging and it’s always best to write about what you know, so let’s talk for a bit on the subject of love. Specifically the connection shared with two people and following through into the lack of connection between brain and mouth that inevitably follows. Now I should like to point out that I like love; it’s good and for the record, some of my best friends are lovers. Read the rest of this entry »
’twas on a glorious afternoon such as this that I found myself outside on my balcony basking in the glory of the previously mentioned afternoon. It had been storming like a mofo but the sun had put a stop to that with some well placed ultra violet menace and was now busy decimating the puddles and putting things right. I took a moment to appreciate the natural order of things. The birds were singing, the trees were growing, and a little bee buzzed into my reverie and landed upside down in a puddle.

Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, you’d be wrong but at least you tried… Forgive the barrage of questions so early on in this month’s blog but it was necessary for eroding your brain’s natural educational defences for the learning to begin. Read the rest of this entry »
The end is nigh, people. I had it explained to me.
The Doomsday Algorithm. The mathematical prophecy that will see itself fulfilled with the end of our beloved species. I won’t bore you with any details (my brain switched off a little bit when the equations joined the party). What I do remember was that they sounded like the kind of equations you could really trust. There were lots of n’s and x’s and it turned out we’re all doomed. Read the rest of this entry »
My Dearest Darling Readers, If you are reading this then I fear the worst has befallen me.
As you know, when I first started this website, I was but a poor street urchin, begging for scraps and picking pockets also for scraps. I had such high hopes but since roastytoasty was established way back in 2007, it has not generated the revenue that I had promised my investors nor has it covered the number of fairly significant donations I contributed to many a government official.

Today is blog day, and I have been busy like a bee. No, more like an ant. No, maybe more like some kind of half bee – half ant genetic experiment gone wrong – or right, depending on the morals of the scientists involved in creating that metaphor. Read the rest of this entry »
Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great warmness in my tummy to announce my latest and thus far greatest discovery. It has taken months of research, but I have finally cracked the Hollywood genome, and now in my great benevolence, I am willing to share the secret. But first, you’re probably wondering how I came up with this insight. If you’re not, you may want to skip a few paragraphs forward because I’m about to get on my soapbox… Read the rest of this entry »
Now as you may have heard, I’m not big on conspiracy theories; and if you have heard, I’d like to know who has been telling you. I have my suspicions, but I could really do with some concrete evidence…
Normally I dismiss conspiracy theories as nothing more than heresay and heresy like bigfoot, global warming and the running of the bulls. But once in a while, a story comes my way that is so eye opening, I am forced to start reading it whilst I’m asleep just so my eyes will have somewhere to go. I speak of none other than the legend shrouded in mystery that goes by the name of “Midget Villages.” Read the rest of this entry »
Whilst great people the world over have spent today standing tall, righting wrongs, challenging conventions and generally being all american heroes, I bought a sandwich. However this was no ordinary sandwich for this sandwich would lead me to ponder the intricacies and tender bits of the human condition. Read the rest of this entry »
Since I was a glint in my fathers eye, I have dreamt of having the opportunity to blog; and not unlike a certain director of the Lord of the Rings, I had to wait until the technology caught up with me… Read the rest of this entry »
