When did it happen? When did such a travesty against humankind take place? When did aioli replace tomato sauce as the go-to accompanying condiment for hot chips? I know there are probably heaps of pro-aioli people shaking their heads in disappointment at the lack of complexity in my condiment choice. But hey! I’m a simple person. And I fucking [...]

The super amazing power of meditation and mindfulness

I’ve decided that 2017 is my year of self-improvement. Like when I’m 80 years old, I’d like to think back to 2017 and remember be like “dayuuuummm 2017 was where that chart of my self-improvement that I keep framed in my living room really spiked up and reflected the sales “forecast” of any aspiring start-up in 2017”, ie. Be a [...]

Getting real with my addiction to trashy television

February 14, 2017 // 0 Comments

Have you ever looked at an article that’s titled something like “You Won’t Believe What She Said” and internally say to yourself “[rolling eyes] urgh that’s so lame because it’s so obviously click bait”. But then you proceed to click on the article, justifying your click on the basis that you have identified it as ‘click bait’ [...]

Suddenly 30…lessons learnt thus far

July 7, 2016 // 0 Comments

Last night I had another strange dream….I dreamt that this large, red, hulk-esque monster, with no neck, kept bowling large boulders and me and saying in a deep, husky [but scary-husky, not sexy-husky=] “MOVE, MOVE, MOVE” every time it bowled a boulder at me. Now you know I’m all for the meaning of dreams and how they absolutely MUST mean [...]

Too many arseholes, too little bullets

Writing can be fucking hard. I’m writing this in past tense but this writers block is well and truly present. You see, in an effort to get re-inspired to write again I’ve so far resorted to so many tactics, tricks and basic magic to get myself to start writing again [see…I told you just wrote ‘write again’ twice in one [...]

Cut yourself some slack and go cycle in the dark

Below is just a copy and paste of a speech I did last week…and when I say “speech” I really mean this is just a copy paste of a standard blog post minus the ‘speaking prompts’ that I originally had in there. You know things like “[pause for rapturous laughter now]” which in hindsight was not very useful in the end. Anyway here [...]

Angry Arani…recognising if you have an anger problem and doing fuck all about it

February 9, 2015 // 1 Comment

So it came to my attention recently [and when I say “recently”, I mean that I’ve known about this my entire life but could never be bothered actually doing anything about it…much like most personal development I’m encouraged to undertake, it’s all shit I already know and if I could be bothered changing it would mean that I’d be this [...]

Sydney property market is cray cray (Part III): The landlord

September 16, 2014 // 0 Comments

So last time, I left you with this really lame “to be continued” which usually would really shit me because I hate suspense and would have been googling the end to save myself having to live for any amount of time not knowing how ‘Ex on the Beach’ ends. But anyway, I felt that you needed a break. Anyway, I was up to telling you about how I [...]

Sydney property market is cray cray (Part II): Rental Properties 101

September 10, 2014 // 1 Comment

Given my prior rant about being some sort of Property (and old, rich people) hating vigilante, I thought that it was fitting that I actually complete the picture of my foray into property. BEEP BEEP BEEP THIS IS YOUR WARNING….YOUR FINAL WARNING!!!!!!!!!!! Yes this is your warning that I’m about to start ranting about the Sydney rental property [...]

Sydney property market is cray cray (Part I): Old people

August 20, 2014 // 1 Comment

I’m not sure if this is a bad thing, but every time I see a couple in say their 60s, casually walking around their inner city neighbourhood, who then stop to check out a real estate sign, I feel compelled to wind down my window and say “Oi you over there! Yeah you! You Australian-dream-stealing, dickheads, back away from the sign and leave [...]
