Spontaneity or (com)bust

There comes a time when we get so wrapped up in the real world. We get so glued to our day to day routines, we forget about that child like spontaneity we used to have. You ever stay in one place for so long that you…

Eat that frog

Procrastination is a helluva drug. Who wants to do things. Especially the important things when they can just binge watch their favourite show on Netflix, play a video game or get lost in many of the books or endless album recommendations on Spotify? I don’t. The…

Perfection will leave you soul cold and empty

So I’m on my way to Scotland for the next few days. So these emails might be early or late. All depends on the signal… …cause out around this neck of the woods (While travelling on the train) I’d be lucky if I get anything that…

One of the best things I learnt from Ernest Hemingway

You’ll find in this little passage over here: “It was a pleasant café, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old waterproof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and…

Control the controllable (and watch everything else burn)

I’m prepping to vanish for a few days over the weekend, so I’m gonna leave you with another little piece you might find useful… If you haven’t gotten where you need to be. Or you’re always seeing people overtake you. Don’t let that stop you from…

Your dopamine receptors are crying for help

We’re all dopamine junkies… We have those days where we’re slumped over our desks like a sack of wet regrets, scrolling through the endless shitstream of notifications, memes, and rage bait that’s turning our brain meat into a dumpster fire. I get it. The endless scroll…

The prince is no more

“Of all the things I’ve lost I miss my mind the most” – Ozzy Osbourne R.I.P to an absolute legend of the music industry. It also got me thinking about how we all got to know about his antics way back before the internet really took…

THE CREATIVE MANIFESTO (After being called a communist lol)

I don’t know about you but I’m standing in my kitchen mainlining coffee. Wondering if today’s the day I’ll finally figure out how to squash my creative chaos into something that resembles an actual career. The point is this… We’re all drowning together Some of us…

Due to not wanting to, I will not.

A few people have replied to my emails and asked why I don’t post my long form content and ideas on social media. There’s a few reasons. I use social media to find people who have a sense of humour and don’t take life too seriously.…

Every year this gets forgotten a little bit more

Now I don’t know if this is specific to England cause I haven’t done as much travelling in the last few years like I used to… But today while the weather was pleasant. I went out for a late afternoon walk. I wasn’t in the mood…
251

I was called a communist today.

Which has probably made my year to be honest. Long story short. Some dude commented on a friend of mines post from 3-4 years ago. Called him all types of things without any evidence or real world proof, which seems to be the common thing to…

Kiss First, Explain Later…

Allegedly, apparently, maybe-you-saw-that-kiss-cam-too… Listen. I’m not gonna judge you if you’re reading this while wearing a Coldplay t-shirt. (maybe) Let’s talk about Andy Byron, the A.I. wunder CEO of Astronomer, who just got yeeted from business class dignity straight onto a jumbotron of shame. So the…

For the new kids on the block

I’ve had a lot of new people arrive here recently. And as much as I need to re-write my automatic email that goes out when you first join and fix the thank you page… I thought it’d be a good thing to just give you the…

The world worships the wrong people and here’s the proof.

“Your best men die in alleys under a sheet of paper while your worst men get statues in parks for pigeons to shit upon for centuries.” – Charles Bukowski You know me. I’m a big ol’ poetry and prose nerd. This quote from Betting on the…

Nostalgic presence

So the last few days I’ve been watching some classic late 90s / early 2000s films. It’s like getting hit by a freight train of nostalgia when you think that we did things like wait to record a song on cassette tape. Or like when you…

I’ll die on this hill

But honestly. In a lot of the cases. Pets are just better than humans. Pets don’t ghost you. They don’t slide into your DMs with passive aggressive bullshit. They just… exist. Pure, unfiltered loyalty wrapped in fur or scales or whatever the fuck you’ve adopted. (That…

The Ministry of Perpetual Moan Suppression

Date: 11 July 2025 (Wait. Scratch that, citizen. It’s 2047 in the Reckoning of the Rain Lords. Time slips like a soggy teabag in this heat choked hellscape…) You. Yes, you, hunkered in your fog shrouded flat, peering out at the sky like it’s personally betrayed…

Bradley Bliss is my spirit animal

My buddy Brandon runs a TikTok account which posts some incredibly unhinged satirical/parody/rage-bait posts. You might’ve seen his videos do the rounds on all of the platforms because it shows you how easy it is to trigger people in general. And triggering people seems to be…

Everything is disguised as personal development

So yesterday my brain said no about being smart. Which is totally cool btw. We can’t be expected to be operating at 100% all the time and that’s what seems to be happening out in the real world all too often. We’re over exposed and overstimulated…
261

Brain said nope

I was going to write an email about how entrepreneurship is just cleverly disguised personal development. But when I sat down to write it. My brain decided nope. I don’t want you writing smart stuff right now. I want you to talk about the cat that…

Monday eh?

You wake up one Monday. Which is today… Because time is a flat circle and you’re trapped in it. You feel like Sisyphus with a French press. There’s a meme making the rounds again. Something about how if you just stop buying coffee out, you’ll retire…
263

Everything is energy.

Sometimes we need to sit down and have a proper moan. Life is frustrating a lot of the times. Especially when things go wrong. And as much as it’s good to think positively and be optimistic about things. We can’t ignore the negative and dark side…

The Silly Goose Society is back

That’s the email… Okay okay. Not quite… So. You want to know about the Silly Goose Philosophy? Keep reading. Now before we get started you need to know something about Geese. They’re assholes. Pure, unfiltered, honking chaos machines that’ll chase you across a parking lot for…

I nearly died today

If you know anything about England. You’ll know that we don’t have the luxury of walk in showers. That being said. The bath that doubles as a shower is always good fun until it’s not. Now most adults (definitely not me lol) would have one of…

The slasher film secret that makes readers stay until the last word

Let me tell you about the time I watched a room full of marketing dickweasels discover that fear sells better than sex. It involves summer camp murder and a metric fuckton of coffee because I got stuck travelling down to London and we stopped at Wolverhampton…

The creative death march

You want to know how fucked we are? (pretty fucking fucked) I keep getting tagged in tweets about how great A.I. is and well… So here’s yet another take on artificial intelligence. It’s like that friend who memorised the entire encyclopedia but doesn’t understand why jokes…
268

Shitposting for fun and profit

Let’s talk about the fine art of shitposting… And honestly most people’s social media presence is boring as hell. We’ve all been fed the same corporate bullshit smoothie as everyone else… Which is basically; “Stay professional.” “Don’t rock the boat.” “Use proper grammar.” And usually it…

Do not go gentle into this British night

Someone up there is using England as their own personal microwave. Whether it’s Aliens, God or if we’re in some simulation like The Matrix. It’s been hot. Not nice hot. Flesh is slowly cooking into a nice medium rare kind of hot. And… as much as…

As I grow. So do you.

So after my original list got nuked. (4732 awesome souls) I found a new “home” aka email service provider that allowed me genuine freedom of speech, which was also created by one of my favourite marketers of the last, I dunno. 20 years? Ben Settle. I…
