SCREW YOU Valentines Day. Screw you for making me feel that it's not OKAY to be single. Screw you for dragging up memories of past arguments and heart breaks, of money splashing and silly mistakes. Screw you, my profession, for creating a purely commercialised monolith, benefiting from relationship tensions and far fetched ideas. I ask you this, how many relationships have you broken rather than mended? How many lonely hearts have you made even lonelier? Well you know what, SCREW YOU Valentine's Day and singling everybody out. I LOVE EVERYBODY. Happy every day xx

"What did you want to be when you were younger?"

I wanted to be many things. I spent most of my childhood dreaming I was a power ranger, but I couldn't write that in my class book so I just lied and said 'nurse' because my Mum was one. 

When I reached double figures I wanted to be a vet, because I loved animal hospital (Rolf harris not so much) but then when I  watched vets in practice, I found out just how many years that  would take, so I decided against that. 


During the  years after, I went from graphic designer, to interior designer, to law, to engineer, to product designer, to architect, back to engineer, and then finally decided on a role in business. 


(If I'm honest I'd still love to be that White Power Ranger though.. )

We've the whole world at our feet. It's up to us how we walk there.



Library. Where I spend most of my days at the mo.

The epitome of relaxation.


Kuroshio Sea - 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world - (song is Please don't go by Barcelona) from Jon Rawlinson on Vimeo.

I just had to upload this. I'm not a fan of aquariums but this video is memorizing. Give it some time to upload before you play, otherwise it won't be smooth. Make sure you full screen it, and if you can, put it on a large screen! I wish I could have this on loop and on my wall.

Also, I recommend the wallpaper:  bit.ly/​19rTC5

day two - a photo of yourself a year ago.

Perhaps not a year ago to the day, but this was me just over a year ago, a few days before new year whilst I was back home and out in Belfast with a few guys from school. Not sure if I've changed much from here looks-wise. My hair's a bit shorter I guess. But not much else!

Day one of photo doofer

day one - your facebook profile photo.

A picture of me and my older Sister. We were so close growing up and after a few years of drifting apart slightly, we've made huge steps to being closer, especially over the christmas holidays. This was the day after boxing day, WKD was on offer, hence me drinking that and not my regular cider. (promise!)

Woops..

 First of all, I have to say a huge sorry for fading majorly in my quest for a photo a day ! I got ill over christmas and newyear and subsequently forgot to take photos... and then kind of gave up. I have a few more to share mind you but will have to remember to upload them! So.. I'll probably just carry on the numbers as if nothing changed.

Anyhoo, new game for now! 

day one - your facebook profile photo.
day two - a photo of yourself a year ago.
