My grandad, a man who I love very much, is having heart surgery today. Freshly eighty, this man is going under the knife to try and extend his life a few more years to be with his wife. As you can imagine, this is really quite confronting and overwhelming for our family. It is a …
I’ve been so stressed lately that I had to try something new. 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 …

It’s hard to miss me in a crowd. I would seriously even go as far as to say that I stand out. I’m six-foot-four, I have long red hair and I am absolutely covered in tattoos. Believe me, when I say covered, I mean completely covered. Head-to-toe. I have hundreds of multi-coloured little pictures and …
I think it’s time I upgraded my lair. You can only survive as an evil scientist in a treehouse for so long before the other supervillains start laughing at you. I had to politely decline my invitation to Villain Con, stating that I was busy “tending to my vast army of venomous cats”, which was …
Last night I was watching my favourite movie series, “Boy With the Lightning Scar”, where a bunch of kids get sent off to magic boarding school, and I started wondering what their career days must be like.
