Friendly advice from Night Pills and Beer

The past few days have been bad for me. I’ve had long hours at work and virtually no sleep. I have developed a cold and it’s not a great time to be sick so I went to the chemist and asked for the strongest cold and flu drugs they can give me. These tablets have [...]

The Cinewheel couch

You know those people who wake up bright and early to run with their iPod shuffles and their jogging attire while you’re still trying to figure out the easiest way to get out of bed and to the bathroom with your eyes still closed?  I used to begrudgingly loathe their lifestyle until I recently realised [...]

So I have just realised that I am a slave to my neighbourhood and this is completely unacceptable. I don’t like being used by the people around me just because I’m too nice to say no. Everyone knows I can’t say no and so they ask me to do oppressive chores for them at no [...]

Twitter #btub experience

 
As I sit here reminiscing about the good old days when I was sober and almost responsible, I am extremely grateful for the forgiveness of others. Three things go through my mind while I think of what I learnt tonight after meeting a diverse online demographic:
