I’m daunted by the DIY project I need to have completed in the next couple of weeks. My girlfriend just got a dog and wants me to build her a dog kennel. She thinks this is no problem and an easy job for me, because I may have told her when we first met that …
My job involves a lot of driving and alone time. For the first five years of having the job, I fought off the loneliness with podcasts, music and my own daydreams. But my old coping mechanisms aren’t working anymore, and when talking to my friends and family about it, they suggested that I bring my …
I can not believe what I am seeing. All across the city of Melbourne, thousands of flowers are rising up and attacking human civilisation. I wish that we could show you live footage of these events, but unfortunately, we made some poor decisions that led to us delivering Channel 17 news only by this blog. …

I might be my own boss, as Supreme Ruler of the Underworld, the Eternal and Undying Master of All Wickedness, Garthablog the Twenty-Seventh, but that doesn’t mean I am free of pressure. That pressure may be coming from my own mind, but imagine …
This month has been filled with immense pain and sorrow for my family and I. Our eight-month old puppy Bert, was hit by a car when someone had the gate open to take the bins out. Being the excited, happy and playful puppy that he was, he followed the sound of the bins rumbling against …
I’ve always had an eye for design. For many years I was ashamed to say that I wanted to be a designer, because I was told when I was young that design was for women and real work was for men. Being a young boy at the time, I was so disappointed in myself for …
Today I had the pleasure of interviewing office workers for the ABRS (Australian Bureau of Random Statistics), to ask about their interior design.
