Contributed Post Pexels Thanks to the (quite right) political correctness of our era, a difficult side effect has occurred. We, as a people, are getting almost too polite in our ways. In order to maximise our social cohesion and simply enjoy a life well lived, we’re often overly accepting of other people. This can sometimes blind us to the real way of the world. Sometimes, people don’t have your best interests at heart. Not everyone wants to be your friend. People might also view you as competition or an obstacle on their path to success. This sounds like a depressing mentality to keep, but it really isn’t. It doesn’t ignore the fact that the vast majority of people are good, hard working and decent people….

Leisurely riding through the countryside on a Sunday afternoon is one thing, but trying to navigate your bike through a city centre during rush hour is quite another. Using a bicycle as your means of transport to and from work is a great idea. It boosts your fitness, and therefore your health, and it means you aren’t contributing to the mass emissions our cities now suffer with. It’s also one of the most cost-effective ways of travelling through a city. Unfortunately, it can also be one of the most dangerous ways to travel. So, here are a few tips for staying safe on your bike in the city. Pixabay Everyone’s an Idiot When you want to stay safe in the city, you have to assume…

Then life changed and I forgot to acknowledge it. But now it’s posted. This is the most recent collection of m2 music, though it’s NOT the latest m2 music. New material should be coming shortly, with a lot to follow in 2018. I have new material in the works that pushed the boundaries of what I’ve considered m2, plus a collection of…

Now entering four years. Should have posted something about this in October, but forgot to. In mid-October 2014, I quit my full-time job in marketing to start working for myself. It was a decision I had long pondered. A few years prior, my work situation has changed drastically and suddenly after 13 years with the same company, and while at the time I was blindsided, it was a good thing. Kicked me out of a rut. I had been deeply unhappy and seeking change, and suddenly change was forced on me. It was a blessing. Almost got caught in a new rut, but talked a lot with the Mrs., about goals, about ideas, about different ways to live. I remember the day I decided I…

Contributed Post Your garden can often become a little neglected during the colder months, and you might only pull out the BBQ when the sun is shining, and it’s warm enough to put a T-shirt on. However, your backyard space is effectively another room to your house that you could be utilizing more often. If you’re paying your mortgage; you might be wasting a significant portion of what you paid for, which just doesn’t make sense. Therefore, it could be time to step outside and put some plans in place to create a garden that you, your friends, and family can use whatever the season is. There’s nothing like fresh air and a bit of nature to keep your life in balance, so give the…
