Scruffy Chinwags

The last blog in this extended 'Written Out Loud' series. The title says it all here, I talk about our embedded desire to solve problems, face adversary and derive meaning/purpose from such.

High there. In this inquisitive piece, I stumble across thoughts trying to figure out what the difference between confidence and arrogance is. You can read the mess over on my blog too!

Competition gets a bit of grief in our days, so I'm here to flip the coin to look at why it is primarily a beneficial engagement. You can also read this blog over at scruffychinwags.com

No.2 on my extended 'Written Out Loud' Series. The joys of photographs are analysed today, and the way they can help us navigate time itself.

Here we are team, the first of five new blogs! Today we inspect the feeling of inspiration, how it comes about, what sensations it evokes, and why it's so important to personal/group development You can also read the work over at my blog

My final audio blog from my previously released 'Written Out Loud' blog series, hope you have enjoyed these vocalisations! Pretty happy with the audible experience I have created, and I have already started to fuck around with some more, so stay tuned. This was the final thoughts in the 'Written Out Loud' Series. Truth is something that leads to the best possible outcome, despite the short term struggle, and pain it can cause. It is a sword though, so use it wisely, don't go cutting people when it's not required. Peace

The Fourth audio blog, stolen thoughts from my 2019 blog series 'Written Out Loud', turned into audio fuel. The land of thought is a place of echo (in my head at least) where words ring out and need to repeat before they consolidate, and so too does this audible experience. This blog looks closely at how our audio cortex converts music into feelings. It is another wonder of our complexity to marvel at, another layer to our conscious world that I believe impacts us more than we might dare to imagine. It all starts with how sound evokes emotion, it all starts there... Art Work: Booker Brooks

Audio blog no.3! This one was my seventh release in my blog series 'Written Out Loud'. Indulge in my audio sphere, as I mutter some words on the horrors of cancer. It is an inevitable part of our life, something we all fall prey to at one time or another. I originally wrote this as a friend was suffering from cancer, and it helped me explore my thoughts/feelings on the situation. sucks, and he has passed now, but the writing was a form of therapy to help me better understand (always is).

My Second audio blog, derived from my 'Written Out Loud' blog series. Enter my wide, spacey atmosphere of thought, as we dive into the words of my 'You Won't Find Answers at the Bottom of that FB Feed' (I know, I got carried away on the title.) I consider it ultimately harmful, the way in which we engage with social media, yet we must play. God damn social being mentality, gotta move with the 'progress'. Art Work: Robert Daglish

My first audio blog!! I have opted for a bit of a spacey vibe in the audio realm, with the verb/delay and incorporation of my guitar, to create that wide atmosphere. Been fun making a few of these, first of 5 from my 'Written Out Loud' blog series, which I released in 2019. 'Love and Music' was my first ever writing back in 2017, and so it holds a special spot in my heart. Old, yet I believe the chords still resonate today. Enjoy! Art Work: Te Ngai Spicer
