About

This is my blog. I write things down because I always have. On paper, on all number of blogs (some forgotten, some private, some deleted) for the last 15 years. It’s not for some kind of record, I don’t rue that the previous iteration of chotoye.com/blog I deleted accidentally (2 years worth gone), it’s because out is better then in, because putting it down forms thoughts more clearly. Even if most of the thoughts are ill-formed, the first things that come to mind. I don’t have the patience for drafts. Short, concise is better.

Things I like include:

Green tea, scrambled eggs, burgers with cheese slices, the 2l bottle of Pepsi I keep down the side of the work surface and swig from, exercising with friends until I feel sick or so out of breath I can’t stand (or both), the adrenalin rush of completing a bouldering route, singing in the car, doing an ‘aeroplane’ when running, walking with headphones in and songs that make me smile, high fives, working with children – I love that my job occasionally involves playing I spy or means I get to do the conga in the sunshine, the downtime when washing up, tumblrs of words and pictures and pictures with words, imgfave, weheartit, mnmlist.com and Simplicity by Sunny, chess.
