If Your Life Was a Video Game?
I am an avid gamer, have been since I was about eight years old and I first booted up Pokémon Yellow at Christmas. Playing through each city and town to the point where I crushed the Elite Four more times than I care to remember.

Keeping Your Childhood Alive
No matter how old I get, there are still parts of my so-called childhood that I simply cannot leave behind. Elements that continue to evolve and I maintain my interest.

Focused or Solo?
The Dream If money and time were no object then I would focus on one project at a time. Still have all the consoles and probably add an Xbox/VR experience to the mix as I would be able to complete multiple games every week.

Is Nostalgia An Onion?
I am a child of the 90s. I grew up watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Pokemon, Stargate SG-1 and more incarnations of Star Trek that I can wave a fist at.

Being Suprised
When was the last time that you were truly surprised? I mean to the point where you had no idea what was going to happen, not even an inkling.

Routines
The older you become the more you like your routines. I know that I do. To have goals to tick off each day and that can be flexibility assigned to the best times of the day. This is what moves you forward and continues to help you smile, but there are points when you get frustrated.

Tiredness
When tiredness kicks in and all you want to do is fall asleep, but you know you cannot as you have to head to work, what do you do?

The Art of Standing Still
Right now I am lying on the floor, typing. It’s not the most comfortable position in the world to accomplish this task but it’s okay for the end of the day. I’ve accomplished everything that I set out to do and have set myself up for success tomorrow. I do not need to do more and am very content in finishing the day as is.

If You Could Remember Everything, Would You?
As I was waiting for the 4:57 Overground train a thought crossed my mind, why the f**k do people not let others off the tube first? It makes no sense and is incredibly annoying.

My Dad Wrote a Porno
The award-winning podcast has provided me with so many laughs. From walking along the street with the dulcet tones of the presenters in my ears, laughing manically to myself to being lost in thought and wonder. It’s been an epic journey and one that I will miss.

Tube Etiquette
It is a very simple rule. An unspoken one but a simple one. If you are taking the tube then before you get on you let people off.

National Hot Chocolate Day
Apparently, January 31st every year is National Hot Chocolate Day. A day in which indulgent hot drinks are celebrated and we are all encouraged to purchase and indulge. It is most likely engineered by corporations to improve profits but as holidays go, it sounds too sweet to miss out on.
