Hello to whoever is reading this out there. I infrequently post things and thought I’d give you a bit of an update. I packed up my house last year, moved into my mates room (Daniel is now my landlord), and then spent 5 months on Christmas Island working in a detention...
Embracing fear and doing something scary; an outdoor musical odyssey.
Aug 23, 2021
I'm sitting here on Monday the 23rd of August, 2021 at 7:30 in the morning listening to the traffic go past my house. It's a strange feeling to be back in my hometown. I'm glad I went away when I did as I somehow stayed just ahead of Covid the entire 2 months. I got...
The start of a random musical adventure
Jul 12, 2021
28 days ago I packed my stuff up, got in my car, and headed off on a somewhat planned but relatively up in the air adventure. I had this idea before I left. I would set my car up so that I could sleep in it, bring a battery powered pedal board and amp, and play music...
3 months of Dvorak
Apr 6, 2021
A quick update about where I am at after the first 3 months of 2021.
Music for the stone people
Jan 29, 2021
Sometimes it’s nice to do things for no reason.
My first week with Dvorak
Jan 10, 2021
Learning new things is hard, but rewarding.

Dec 26, 2020
Ever look at your watch and see this? I did for ages a while back. I figured I would acknowledge the moment, and so here’s a quick 2020 wrap up.
Trying to start on the right foot
Jan 20, 2020
While this photo is of the smoke from the fires that’s travelled down to us, the fires have no impact on this post and is more to remind me how hectic it’s been here this year.
2019
Jan 6, 2020
A quick wrap-up of 2019 because I didn’t post much last year
Get your words out challenge
Jan 7, 2019
I spent 2018 doing a writing challenge. Here’s the end result.
Rewriting (and new writing) part 3
Sep 7, 2018
In my last post I said that I had finished part 1. But looking back at the amount of work I’ve had to put in, adding another 10K to the draft, tells me that I wasn’t quite as finished as I had thought.
Rewriting part 2 (Campnano & beyond)
Jul 9, 2018
The following account is my experience of camp nano in April 2018 & beyond, during some sporadic journal entries I wrote.
Rewriting a first draft
May 11, 2018
This is a continuation of the last blog post. If you haven’t read that one, scroll down. The brief synopsis is that I wrote the first draft of a story in November last year (2017). This is part 2, what I did after nano and my initial forays into the world of rewriting.
*the image shows a working title for the story.
Writing (another) book in a month.
Apr 30, 2018
This is a glimpse into what it’s like to write a book (well the first draft) in one month. During November of 2017 I kept a journal whilst I did NaNoWriMo and this is the story of how I achieved what I did.
Just a quick one
Apr 1, 2018
Look, I normally take my time with my blog. I sit down and I write up something, then spend another week or so editing it. I know it's pointless, as no one really reads this, but I figure if I'm going to put something out into the world, then I'll make it as good as I...
A season disappears
Sep 11, 2017
I haven’t written a blog post in 4 months now. That’s pretty slack by me so this is going to be a long one. In short it’s about SectApe & guitar geeking, music & happiness, death & numbness, Camp Nanowrimo, an EP launch & a trip to Darwin.
Clear fluid challenge
May 1, 2017
I decided to drink only clear fluids for a month. Not the hardest challenge ever I’ll admit, but I sure did miss caffeine.
Tis the season to be reading…
Mar 10, 2017
After doing NaNoWriMo I needed to do something before I edited it. This is how I came to read the Wheel of Time series over the course of a season.
Writing a book in a month
Dec 1, 2016
Been a long time since I’ve done a challenge so I had a go at NaNoWriMo this year. Here’s what happened when I tried to write the first draft of a book in a month.
Time to post something
Oct 27, 2016
It’s been a long time between posts, so here’s a bit of an update on what I’ve been up to.
Just some thoughts on life.
Aug 16, 2016
I don’t like to put myself into a box anymore. I don’t like the question what do you do? It implies that if you don’t “do” something then you have no worth. I instead like to ask people what do they do for fun. Watching TV can be fun. Reading can be fun. Meditating, socialising, masturbating, there’s many things you can do for fun. But what do you do? That’s a shitty question and implies something job related in my eyes.
I guess looking up weird shit on the internet is what I used to do for fun. This post is kind of disturbing.
A short adventure
Jul 25, 2016
I had a wedding in Bali to go to in June. So, naturally, I booked a return ticket to KL with 5 weeks in-between flights and no plan of where I was going to go. This story has nothing to do with Bali, and everything to do with cheesy romance.
*this picture is of Scott’s hands pre him getting virtual reality. I think they have been busy since.
30 days of abstinence
May 31, 2016
What do you get when you don’t drink, smoke or masturbate for (close to) 30 days?
Nothing. But you do need more toilet paper than normal to clean yourself up when you fail.
A month passes me by
Apr 18, 2016
A month of no challenges doesn’t mean I can slack off on a blog post. Here’s an update of what I’ve been up to, mainly playing music and wearing out my fingers in the process. New challenge in a month.
2 weeks of Tinder
Mar 15, 2016
After much persuasion from my friend, I decided to give Tinder a try. Here’s my brief experience of it, feel free to laugh at all my profile pics.
My month of cold showers
Mar 11, 2016
I showered in only cold water for a month. Stupid idea? Possibly. But it was a challenge I’d been wanting to try out for a couple of years, so I did it. It also gave me an excuse to take a photo of myself nude in the shower and put it on the internet, something which I found challenging in itself.
My month without social media
Feb 8, 2016
I quit social media for a month. When I say social media, I mean Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit and 4chan, despite the dubiousness of some of these sites being “social”. As such, I’m now torn where to actually promote this blog post, and so I’m hoping that someone randomly finds it and shares it. Or maybe I should get Twitter…
Nearly 3 AM, why am I here Jeff, why?
Oct 6, 2014
From starting up this blog to snorting chilli sauce in Laos, there’s plenty of interesting experiences I’ve had late at night. I wrote this post years ago after getting really into Jeff Goins and feeling all motivated to start blogging. I then got slack, single and shitfaced, left it for a year or two and have recently revived it (2016).
Here is a bit of background about me, circa 2014.
