Chronic Dissatisfaction
Suffering from Chronic Dissatisfaction? There’s a movie out right now by Woody Allen called, Vicky, Christine, Barcelona. I watched it last night at the movies. There were so many parodies (as there are in Allen’s movies) but one in particular really got me. I think you’ll have seen this time and time again. It was…

Lying Stinking Truth
Lying Stinking Truth “I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth as long as you don’t discover I’m lying again” politicians are such morons. They allow us to be led by mis-truths, half truths and blatant lies. Isn’t it time for a change? Okay, lets be frank here. In the past there have been…
Ugly Beauty

Vainglory Stuff
How can you be what you own? You know – “I am what you see, this is me I have made it” Not possible right, how can it be. I know this guy. He WAS worth millions… stacks of cash. He drove a top of the range cars of almost every kind. He had the…
Cheerless Valentine
Cheerless Valentine By Alan Forrest Smith There was a point in The Trueman Show movie when the main character Trueman realized all wasn’t quite what it seemed. Do you remember?

Classified Conformist

Cynical Old Fart
Barak Obama … Is he right? Will he be the savior of the USA and the Planet? Is he just another dressed up, polished over voice coming to a TV screen near you? I have no idea. But there is a lesson here. As I write I face another birthday soon No. 46 in fact.…
Spoon-Fed Selfdom
Spoon-Fed Selfdom Is your world being run by spoon-fed egos, spoilt brats, selfish untouchables? This is a bit of a rant but I hope you agree. I hope you can see my sense here. I hope you feel like taking action at some point. This is also about you. Your money. Your life. You’ll soon…
Recession Anarchist
Recession Anarchist By Alan Forrest Smith This is a true story of an entrepreneur hairdresser that beat the last recession! The bank manager wouldn’t lend me a penny despite the fact I had a plan!

Minimum Mentalist

Licentious Cash!
Licentious Cash! Who said money is the root of all evil? Lies!!! You see there was a guy named David. David had everything any man could want. He was around 6 foot in height, dark olive skin, black wavy hair, deep green eyes and had the personality to go with it. David also had cash,…
Born Thug?
Do You Suffer From Being a Born Thug? You need to know, it could affect your future. I love Louis Theroux. His style of the ‘anti’ interview always has me compelled to watch and listen and hang on to almost every single word. His latest documentary was based on the streets of West Philadelphia. Just…
Propensity Praxis
Propensity Praxis Do you have an excuse for NOT doing something that could actually benefit you? I believe most people have… including me. For example. I know if I go to the gym, I feel good (and maybe even look better) I also know if I don’t go, I feel like a slob! So why…
