Smitten Kitten

Being smitten is a word that is rare, and so is being smitten. Like being hit by cupid’s arrow, these are the signs that someone is smitten with you. No, we are not back in the 1920s, but I still believe there is something quite charming about someone being smitten with you. Smitten is a word that you might not have heard, and, if you have, you were probably visiting the assisted living community nearby. It is a word that is a combination between magical and absolutely delighted. Yes, smitten is a word that I am personally starting a campaign to bring back. So, what does smitten actually mean? It means that you are overcome or struck by instantaneous love. Like love at first sight, it doesn’t have to be first sight, and it doesn’t always have to go away. Smitten is something that is very special. It is that moment that you recount, well after you are old and married, as the moment when you just “knew” that they were the one for you. So, how can you tell if someone is smitten with you? ...

Jogging into the Abyss

It was the night before jogging and all through the house, my excitement was stirring – maybe soon I’d have a spouse. But then I awoke and with the toll of the alarm…my body was unwilling – getting fit, had lost it’s charm. I’ve always been full of half-good ideas … you know; spontaneous expensive trips abroad instead of sensibly saving, new unnecessary shoes instead of paying the council tax bill, pizza for both tea  and  breakfast whilst still expecting a six-pack to materialise – that sort of thing. The sort of things that can be somewhat cute and quirky when you are younger, but unfortunately start to seem silly once the boring grip of age takes a hold. Now any choice I make seems HUGE; so huge that I often feel anxious even thinking about the what-ifs and the maybes…so huge that I occasionally feel like reverting to childhood where most decisions are made for you – so huge that I put huge in big massive capital letters so you know I’m not fucking ar...

IN DEFENSE OF BEING AVERAGE

T here’s this guy. World-renowned billionaire. Tech genius. Inventor and entrepreneur. Athletic and talented and handsome with a jaw so chiseled it looks like Zeus came down from Olympus and carved the fucker himself. This guy’s got a small fleet of sports cars, a few yachts, and when he’s not giving millions of dollars to charities, he’s changing out supermodel girlfriends like other people change their socks. This guy’s smile can melt the damn room. His charm is so thick you can swim in it. Half of his friends were TIME’s “Man of the Year.” And the ones who weren’t don’t care because they could buy the magazine if they wanted to. When this guy isn’t jetsetting around the world or coming up with the latest technological innovation to save the planet, he spends his time helping the weak and helpless and downtrodden. This man is, you guessed it, Bruce Wayne. Also known as the Batman. And (spoiler alert) he doesn’t actually exist. He is fiction. It’s an interesting facet of human nature ...
