Day 60 in SE Asia – Hanging Out My Arse But Still Radiating Light

August 16, 2017

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; Last night at the closing of the Ubud Village Jazz Festival I’d had a blast; admittedly I’d drank far too much (mixing my drinks never serves me well) and hadn’t got much sleep, but I’d had a blast and wouldn’t have changed it for the world.

September 27, 2015

And you know what, it more than hurts, it wretches at your soul; twists it into small, tiny, unidentifiable pieces and then spits it back out. The truth, apart from being a great platform to base your life … More The Truth Hurts
