25 – The Writing on the Wall

25 – The Writing on the Wall

(Original title – The Writing on the Wall) Yeah, I know, but it was kind of perfect to keep the original title. I feel like it’s time for another jumbled rant. So I was sitting in Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, 90 minutes until my flight leaves, scrolling through Facebook. An article appears about how our pursuit of happiness is making us more anxious than ever, and it got me thinking. “Follow your bliss” is the biggest bit of bullshit I have…

24 – The DeathTour Party

(Original title – The Deathday Party) Cancer really enjoys slamming you when you’re already down. It’s been a while since my last update, and so much has been happening. I received my Super payout and did a bunch of fun things, like… I bought a new car, a Suzuki Swift GLX in the shiny blue. His name is Tamatoa because he’s so shiny; My bro Matt and I went looking for a new house to live in, saw ten, applied…

Usually, I would laugh at this, but I Dr Googled my symptoms (after I’d been to see the doctor) because I wasn’t convinced that it was just a skin infection like the GP hoped it was, and I wanted to know the…

06 – The Journey From Being Nine & Three Quarters Fed Up With Cancer

06 – The Journey From Being Nine & Three Quarters Fed Up With Cancer

(Original title – The Journey From Platform Nine & Three Quarters) It’s been a while. I’ve got a lot milling around in my head at the moment, some things up my sleeve, and some other things that I’m sitting on aside from haemorrhoids (yeah, I didn’t realise those would be a thing). Basically, I’ve been doing a lot of introspection and trying to figure out if the way that I’m coping with everything is actually a healthy way to cope….
