Ruts, by definition, are not nice places to be. People often say “just get out of it” but they don’t realise that for the rutted person it’s like saying “well, just haul yourself out of that deep glacial crevasse. Don’t worry about having no rope or climbing boots with spikes”.
It can be depressing.

Do you know how to apologize on the Internet? Surprised? What sort of a question is this? Apologizing is the same all over the world, even on the Internet, right? Well, not necessarily. You see, things work differently on the Internet. In the real world, tearing a piece of paper into numerous bits is enough [...]
My-my…it’s only the morning, I’m 2 posts into the day, and I’m already on a topic so red-hot-dodgy and explosive that it makes me shudder a bit. That topic, of course, is email etiquette – the scurge of our age. The reason I sometimes lunge for a chocolate bar and almost do my back in! [...]
If there is one conversation that I dread being a part of, it has to be the awful, the terrible, the HORRIBLE: “So…what music are you into?”

“Now then,” he said, very seriously, and I remember looking at the trees outside and thinking how his leg was enormous like the trunks of them. “The banana [...]
No, I haven’t lost my mind, the title of this post is genuine and real.
See, for as long as I have been alive I have been an argumentative person. The kind of individual who can conjure up an argument of epic proportions from literally the smallest thing. I know…I know…it’s a bad character trait [...]
It is a well known fact that those of us who have internal issues that we can’t quite deal with tend to change our exterior environments more often than those who absolutely, totally, mentally sane.A little bit of interior design makes out living space a little bit more calm and organised which in turns allows [...]
Open the scrapbook and all in a second, all in a rushing moment, the following things happen:
1) You’re back in Ko Samui, 1989, before the tourist boom. The weather is raging hot, and it’s the kind of very-early where people are still lying around from the night before.
2) You’re in a cafe in Paris. You [...]

Cholesterin is really a system of the fat-like material of the liver that is a waxy, which is produced due to the extra usage of bad meals.
