Everyone has regrets in life, except some regrets are more permanent than others. In my case, my regret is a tattoo of a spider on my neck. What possessed me to get this done, I have no idea. It was ten years ago and I thought I was some hardcore goth. At twenty-one, having a …
I’ i’ve had to sell a few cars in my time. Not because there has been anything wrong with any of the cars, but more so because I’ve wanted a change or I’ve had a lifestyle change that requires me to to drive a car that is better suited to my needs. I’ve had a …

The final letter from my father led me back to Victoria. Although I was supposed to go to a mechanic in Hawthorn, I didn’t feel quite ready yet. I still had a lot to process. After the long drive from Queensland, though, I did actually need some car repairs. So I drove toward the city …
So I met the Window Replacement Wizard. To be honest, he’s a bit of a jerk. He’s got me reading these one thousand requirements for him to work with me, and there’s a lot he’s demanding here. I needed a break, so I asked him to make me some tea, and am using the distraction …
