I woke up after nine uninterrupted hours of pure blissful sleep, ready to take on the world. I felt brand new. After a quick breakfast there was one thing and one thing only on my mind. Before I did anything, the mission was plain and simple: Find a new hat. I loved my ex-hat I [...]
CHANGES, CHANGES, CHANGES
I’m making changes, big ones here at manvsclock within the upcoming weeks. Cody McKibben has been kind enough to create an awesome theme and hand it out to newbie bloggers such as myself. I really like the theme and the charitable gesture, however I feel if I am to catch peoples eyes a bit more I [...]
Hogmanay New Years Eve in Bonny Edinburgh (Part 2 of 5)
So what was your prediction? Did I go on the bungee beast or did I let fear win? Of course I went on! I love adrenaline-inducing stuff and rides and I am a complete ride snob. If it’s not a near death experience-it’s a complete waste of time. To be honest when it comes to [...]
Hogmanay New Years Eve in Bonny Edinburgh (Part 1 of 5)
It all started back in August 2010 when I declared my war cry: “I REFUSE to have another crappy New Year’s Eve, this one’s gonna be brilliant.” I’ve said something similar for the past seven years but this time it was different. This time I had fire in my belly, meaning in my eyes and [...]

My *NON* New Years Resolution(ish)
Hmmm New Year’s Resolutions; such a terrible cliché of conformity OR a perfect time to set the timer on being a better man/woman? I’m torn somewhere between both as I have all kinds of love for personal development, but I’m not sure why you should wait for a certain date to start evolving as a [...]
Why I Love/Hate Christmas Time
It’s that time of year again folks. Love it or hate it, you can’t help but notice that the festive period is here again in it’s big, loud and all-mighty take no prisoners kind of way. Now I don’t know about you but I have strong feelings about this time of year and I invite you [...]
Does a “Job For Life” Really Exist Anymore?
After crazy and completely illogical events in my city this week I have felt it necessary to ask myself the above question. Have you ever heard the term “a job for life” before? I’ve heard it on many occasions when I was a young and naive spring chicken in search of internal satisfaction. I remember one of my uncles would always ask [...]
