Here are some rules I live by. I had never actually consciously used them, until the last few years, where I’ve learned through greater self-awareness what drives the motivations behind me.

I had this thought pop onto my mind while riding on the bus to work: I die. Nothing remains of me (the crash is bad, body badly burnt), except (miraculously) my bag.

It’s been a while since I last wrote about the things going on in my life. Yes, there’s the “About” page, but as most people know, “About” pages aren’t exactly updated frequently. So here’s a list of going-ons in my life, my “Life Update” if you will, as I have done so previously (more or [...]

He is a little anxious.

His colleagues wonder if woodpeckers ever get headaches with all the tapping they do.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
It’s 5:25. A bead forms on his temple. An ant below drowns in the dead sea.
5:29. Click/Click. The computer gives its [...]

As I was thinking of getting a MacBook from Apple and bringing it over with me to UWA (University of Western Australia), I decided to take a look at their “AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook Pro/PowerBook“.
I scanned through the text once quickly, and decided that it wasn’t for me. But an asterisk at the bottom [...]

“Who are you, really?” asks she.
“I am who you think I am.” says he.
“Don’t play games with me.”
“Who else could I be? Tell me.”
“I want to know what you think most people think you are.”
“Popular opinion does not a man make.”
“A man’s identity is only so much as people — society — sees it [...]

Q: What do you think is your strongest attribute?
I would go for humility. Humility is, I find, the best policy.

If I married a girl called Dawn…
It is early morning. Phone rings.
“Hi, can I speak to Dawn please?” says she.
“Donn speaking,” says I.
“No, Dawn. I want to speak to Dawn.”
“Erm, yeah. Donn here.”
“No, Dawwwn,” stresses she.
“Oh, Dawwwn,” stresses I. “Hold on a minute please.”
Meanwhile, Dawn’s in the study.
“Dawn darling,” says I, “it’s your call.”
“What’s that [...]
