Just been to see Indiana Jones and was quite surprised, I was expecting to be blogging today about how George Lucas had finally killed my inner child (which he did batter to within an inch of its life with star wars *shudder) but I really enjoyed this latest incarnation of Dr Jones. Yes, Harrison Ford [...]
We arrived very smoothly at Phoenix airport and were very quickly off the plane and meeting up with miya’s sister and brother in law who had kindly come to pick us up. Nipped out for a quick smoke while we waited for our baggage to come down and went from feeling ok to drained [...]
Landing in Atlanta was bouncy on the way in, but there is nothing like the feeling when the plane stops on solid ground. The plane is running late but we have a few hours before our connecting flight.
The next two hours were probably the worst of my life. Because of the length of my visit [...]

I’m writing this on the plane with miya looking over my shoulder, she’s board (lawl), so please excuse a lower than normal amount of spelling mistakes, grammatical gaffs and general dyslexia.
After a few hectic days of packing and giving things away, the last 31 years of my life has been reduced to two suitcases, a [...]
Following on from news of my redundancy a few days ago, I got home from work feeling more than a little depressed. I had emailed the news home as soon as I knew it and spent the rest of the day worrying about the short term future, how to survive on what I would have [...]

I couldn’t feel a lump [...]
I’ve finally received the news I’ve been looking forward to and dreading, the date my exwife, boyfriend and daughter will be moving out.
When I separated from my wife, we were still very very close, there was no future together as partners but we still loved each other very much. We stayed living in the same [...]
I’ve wished I was born a girl since puberty (at which point everything just seemed to go the wrong way). I remember the excitement of ‘Sex Education’ in high school and learning about periods, breasts and babies. It simply didn’t click during the first few lessons that I was a boy and non of those [...]
When my old life and the lies that held it in place finally crumbled a year and a half ago. I was terrified of telling my family, parents, wife, siblings, because I was afraid they wouldn’t understand and would reject me.
My parents didn’t understand or accept. They still don’t. I doubt they ever will.
I talked [...]
This time last year I was on the brink stepping out into the light, I knew it was what I had to do but wasn’t sure if the person I would be exposing to the world would be ready for the challenge, or if even if she had what it takes. I swore to myself [...]
