Selectively Juggling

What is your favorite form of physical exercise? Definitely swimming (I’m actually sitting in my magnesium mineral backyard pool right now as I write this) I also love gardening (which I’ve just done two hours of, including repotting tomatoes and some other plants). Yes, it’s only spring but the weather’s been good enough to swim…

How much would you pay to go to the moon? Zero, zip, zilch. In other words, nada! This question reminds me of the novel ‘Feed’ by M.T Anderson, which explores issues of consumerism (plus much more). In the novel society travels to the moon, as it’s become a rich person’s holiday destination. Yet, just like…

What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? I’m seriously contemplating an alternate career involving full time writing and photography. The only problem is that it doesn’t provide the financial freedoms and safety that my current career does. Given that I am a parent and have a mortgage, I’m somewhat hemmed in.…

What major historical events do you remember? I know without a shadow of a doubt that October 14th 2023 will be a moment forever etched within Australian history and on our collective psyche. On October 14th, 2023 a referendum was held to effectively ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples were given a “Voice”…

What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? One part of me would love to sell up and buy an acreage approximately 2-4 hours outside of Sydney. I would try and create an almost self-subsistence lifestyle. However, we would also run a country retreat for people to escape the…

What’s something most people don’t know about you? Something that not many know about me is that if I could be any animal, or mystical creature I’d be half sea-eagle and half dolphin. With an almost omnipresent Birds-Eye view I’d ride upon the thermals. Then, when feeling a need to be immersed in water would…

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive? The word ‘lazy’ is highly relative and subjective. It will mean something completely different to each of us. If I can speak in extended metaphor, I see like as though I’m a hybrid of tug boat, yacht, catamaran, shipping vessel, surfboard and row boat. Most days,…

What have you been putting off doing? Why? Why? Because in all honesty I’d need to clone myself 5 times over simply to do everything I need to get done. I’d love the Otto have all my family out of the house for a few days, where I could simply take a few days off…

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)? I felt like a self-actualised adult today, as I ventured out this morning with heartfelt intention. Today, I Voted Yes in a referendum for constitutional change. #VoteYesAustralia #socialchange #equality & #justice.

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to? In all honesty this is simply too difficult a question to answer straight off the bat. I would need time to think about suitable causes, and the way they utilise each dollar donated. I would look at social issues and…
