If you don’t protect the rights of those you oppose then don’t complain when at some point your rights are taken away from you.

When does a joke become a “dad” joke?
When the punchline is a parent.

Nevada Noir – David Arrowsmith

In these three dark and brooding short stories, set in and around the US state of Nevada, a cast of disparate characters struggle with greed and temptation, and the cursed lure of easy money… an old man goes in search of his son in the aftermath of a terrible storm, a couple down on their luck make a life-changing discovery and an ex-cop has one last impossible decision to make…
Stop listening to the disingenuous miscellaneous, and learn to think for yourself.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Marcus Aurelius
On a walk …

When you look for something, why is it always in the last place you look?
Because when you find it, you stop looking.
Out in nature ….
This is from 2015, last time I went to Pakistan, on route to Kashmir. I don’t know when is the next time I will feel comfortable enough again to visit Pakistan. All things must change and hopefully with time it will get better for people to leave a religion or any other ideology in peace without fear for life in certain countries. The north of Pakistan is beautiful though.
Can’t wait for this to re-open …..

Full steam ahead !
This year, more than ever I intend to take full charge of my life. Be better than ever, do more good than ever and learn more than ever. And as for my writing – full steam ahead !

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

I used to be addicted to soap.
I am clean now.
Pizza Life in waiting

Cannot wait for my local pizzeria to re-open. I support local businesses, we all should. These empty streets and soulless community, deprived of any real life is becoming very distressing. We cannot keep on living in this constant state of hysteria and over revved anxiety. We need to protect the vulnerable, yes, but open the world for the rest. This cannot be the way.
Science is only science when it lives in the domain of doubt and constant improvement – and is contested at every stage.
Where do you find a cow with no legs?
Right where you left it.
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.

How does a squid go into battle?
Well armed !
Can’t wait to go back to life ….

A while back, out fishing with a close friend. I don’t know how to fish, neither do I particularly like it tbh. But I do like sitting, relaxing and talking shit with my friend as goes about his fishy business.
I really hope the world can come back to its senses, and stop panicking already. Let life get back to normal, and let people live and enjoy the company of those they love without any guilt.
