Taken directly from Wikipedia – EPIPHANY (feeling) – An epiphany (from the ancient Greek ἐπιφάνεια, epiphaneia, “manifestation, striking appearance”) is the sudden realization or comprehension of the (larger) essence or meaning of something. The term is used in either a philosophical or literal sense to signify that the claimant has “found the last piece of the puzzle and now sees the whole picture,” or has new information or experience, often insignificant by itself, that illuminates a deeper or numinous foundational frame of reference.
Last October I had one, an epiphany. Whilst travelling in my car on my way to work I was thinking, as one does when stuck in horrendous traffic every morning on the way to work, about my relationship with my EX and for the first time I was looking back over the years and thinking about me and my role in the deterioration of our relationship.

It’s something I have had a lot of time to think about over the last three to five years of my life.
Is a moral compass something we are all born with but don’t necessarily know how to use, gauge or apply?

There is something tantalising about the idea of unplugging
yourself. From the everyday, from the screens that fill every line of sight,
from the noise of modern life, from the omnipresent wireless internet
connection.
Challenging, yet also tantalising, is the idea of unplugging from the very thing that creates so much
of the hubbub and speed of modern life, and the source of the unplugging
metaphor – electricity and it’s most visible form, light. Continue reading Unplug yourself for Earth Hour
Yes, Generation X potentially have a more restored memory than those from Generation Z. In fact, aging doesn’t necessarily affect ones’ memory; a survey conducted between various age groups quaintly depicted that people aged 31-40 had the preeminent memory. The survey included two investigations: a visual-memory test and a word-memory test.
This is virtuous

Christmas day in Melbourne this year (2011) was a typical Melbourne affair. It was overcast in the morning. In the middle of the day it got hot and sunny and later on the heavens opened and we had rain like you wouldn’t believe, with golf-ball-sized hail stones thrown in to give us the “white Christmas” usually associated with European destinations.
As Melbourne’s only 24-hour snake catcher, I had the usual calls to catch snakes over Christmas. Continue reading Melbourne
Most people following Snakebusters, Australia’s best reptiles, probably already know that in Australia, Snakebusters are the only hands on reptiles displays who let people hold the animals. That is opposed to other companies who compete against us and do show and tell instead, or perhaps let people just touch the reptiles at a Melbourne kids party,

So some dudes called me from Toorak. It’d been a posh get togeather on New Year’s Eve when just after the fireworks I got the call from some distressed people being “attacked” by a Black Snake.
