  • Memes

    LOL, it’s obvious that I used chat GBT to perfect my past post content. Everyone does it, don’t be in denial…

    Internet memes may seem like simple jokes or viral images, but they actually reveal something much deeper about modern culture. A meme is best understood as a unit of cultural information that spreads through imitation and adaptation online. These digital fragments evolve rapidly as people share, remix, and reinterpret them, turning memes into a living form of communication.

    Across the internet, memes exist within distinct communities—each with its own humour, language, and purpose. Some revolve around everyday frustrations, such as bad driving, while others grow within highly specific fandoms or gaming cultures where insider knowledge strengthens group identity. In more personal communities, memes serve an even deeper role, helping people share experiences, cope with challenges, and find validation among others with similar lives.

    Technology is also reshaping meme culture. Artificial intelligence is beginning to generate its own meme-like content, creating a strange mix of fascination and humour as humans react to the unpredictable outputs of machines. At the same time, memes are increasingly used for political commentary, allowing complex ideas to be shared quickly through simple, recognisable formats.

    Despite the chaos and variety of meme culture, one powerful trend stands out: communities dedicated to positivity. In these spaces, memes are deliberately used to uplift, motivate, and highlight moments of kindness. Ultimately, memes are far more than fleeting internet jokes—they are evolving cultural signals that reveal how people connect, express identity, and make sense of the digital world together.

  • The Black Swan Effect

    The Black Swan effect refers to rare, unexpected events that have huge impacts, and only seem obvious in hindsight. It’s like the butterfly effect; small or unpredictable triggers lead to dramatic, far-reaching consequences.

    In short, it explains how humans underestimate the likelihood of extreme situations, but rely heavily on past data.

    Important attributes include unpredictability; nothing in the past clearly points defined the future.

    It concludes to really big consequences; PESTLE (as learned in my MSc: Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental) or cultural. It’s only afterwards when it becomes obvious and should have been expected.

    Black Swanevents can instantly transform entire industries, markets, technologies, and even society itself.

  • #JimmyChoo

    After doing research on #JimmyChoo ‘’s #SWT (smart wearable technology) releases, this had no influence on what I just did….

    The original #shoelover is back

    With brand new #JimmyChop flat shoes, which I can actually walk in (after RELEARNING HOW TO WALK) after TBI left me utterly physically impaired, buying into Tthis brand has made me feel me “me”. More confident.

  • January Blues

    Commonly, January blues is both 1. The fact that the holiday season (ie Xmas) is ending, and 2. SAD = Seasonal affective disorder. This is when the cold weather and shorter days get to your mood either consciously or subconsciously.

    My theory is the state of existential anxiety. In short; there’s nothing to do. No reason to be. This can be awful. And after having my TBI, I was in continual existential anxiety. No reason to exist.

    But that time was “all hands on deck” with recover; where in this case EVERYTHING had to be rebuilt.

    So after working, working, working, working on recovering, it’s just adapted. You may like pimple, I prefer squares. Kinda different, like that.

    So now finalising my MSc keeps me busy.

  • Future Directions

    If you’ve been following my blog (or even seen some posts) you might have understood that I HATE being out of work.

    Aside from lack of income, the main issue was lack of direction. Lack of objective. Most mornings, I’d wake, and think “there’s no reason for me to get out of bed”.

    So, both wishing to make others’ who are in my position’s life’s easier (grammar?), along with something to actually do, I started this blog.

    As well, it has clarified where my priorities are. What I find important. What makes me, me.

    The amount of tumult in spells of posting frequently, to nothing for weeks, helped me realise that this is perhaps, more of a recreation activity.

    BUT…..

  • Identity… product

    An issue of brain injury, is loss of identity in.

    It’s probably commonly known that a loss of memory occurs (as seen in the films#memento), but how is identity actually made? From memories…,

    So when you forget who you are, a way to cope with it, is to choose a 3D product (like something you already have or can buy) where you can look at it.

    Then, it’ll inspire attributes from your identity, which you can identify as something you chose.

    If you do, or don’t have a TBI, it’s a difficult one, give it a go….

    I know mine….

  • High heels

    After several years of personal training, I can FINALLY walk. Always one to exceed expectations, I passed on all this hard work, recovering from a brain injury and learning to walk again. To deliver this information about how I did it, I performed a speech…. In high heels (see below).

    There was parts about when enduring this condition, you have a loss of identity. This is unfortunate because your identity is made up of memories.

    Few people can choose a product that describes their identity. But I could….. high heels.

    Both aesthetic reasons, and psychological ones too. They change your figure, push your shoulders back so enhances your figure, and they’re a great complement to most outfits. But psychologically;

    They attract attention, confidence, make me feel sexy and dominant and powerful.

    For most of human history, there has been a power shift: men have a better pay while women are “home makers”.

    With equal pay introduced, more flat shoes have been worn. I call for a switch-a-rol. Women to be the dominant sex, through heels.

  • Identity

    “What do you want to do when you’re older?”

    That’s the question you always ask a child.

    There’s so much pressure on which career, or even what we do.

    Not, exactly, why we’ve chosen that path, or how we act should do it;

    It should be: “Who do you want to be with you’re older”
