Hey everyone, sorry it’s been such a long time, but I’ve been kind of busy with life, so I haven’t had much time to deal with important things like this website.
My mother Mary passed away on December 30th, 2024, and I have had to move back to Canada to deal with her affairs, manage her students, and take care of her dogs. Needless to say, it’s been a bit of a mind fuck trying to deal with all of these things, as well as manage an ADHD diagnosis-which explains SO MUCH!
Anywhoodles, I will be spending some more time on this site, as I am now bored in Canada, and looking for creative outlets to express myself, and mostly rant and rave.
Canada
As I have mentioned in previous podcasts, I have always have a love/disdain for my home and native land. Having been born in Canada, then left in 2005 for the UK, I have always looked back with some fondness and some bitterness.
- Now that I am living here I have had to contend with:
- The Worst Winter in 20+ years
- Asian nurse tenants
- A former tenant intent on knifing me and another tenant one night
- Drinking too much wine
- Cutting out wine
- Getting Fat
- Trying to lose weight
- The boredom of Canada
- Living in a time warp 10 years behind
- An ADHD diagnosis which explains why I have been struggling to focus on anything
- Living in a crypt of my mom’s memories
- Sadness
So much to unpack! Luckily I have the support of my family, so I am trying to figure this all out.
Rant and Wade
I have returned to making my podcasts, as well as being able to chop them up for social media content. It’s been quite therapeutic and cathartic, but I continue to make them in lieu of me returning to the comedy stage.
It’s great to be able to talk about things, even if I feel that no one is really listening. That too kind of feels good, as I am not one who likes to respond to comments.
Here is a link to the Era of Illusion podcast, in which I talk about some of the trying times that we are going through now. The rich are getting richer, poor-poorer, and we have fallen into that classic trap of blaming each other instead of focusing it on the real villains here.
Have a look and listen to this one:
Canaduh looks at some of the things that I have noticed since returning to the UK, and how it has affected me. Loads of things are utter Madness, but there are also some sweet and nostalgic things that do make me smile. Not too many, just some.
My most recent podcast was on Pornography. Not the most censor friendly topic on social media, but one that has played on my mind given that my daughter Violet is turning 16 next month. Porn has changed through the ages, so I wanted to take an honest look at the numbers, the trends, and some of my experiences with it.
With the rise of ‘toxic masculinity’, it’s an issue that many parents need to look at, just to figure out what the heck is going on in our children’s lives.
DJWADE
Have you followed me on Spotify yet? Just look for DJWADE, and you will be treated to endless hours of music that I have curated from some of my faves.
My latest playlist is called ‘Satellite Romance’, and is a culmination of some of the top new Indie songs that I have been listening to lately.
Make sure that you give it a FOLLOW if you want to keep in the loop of some of the coolest songs on the mother-trucking planet.
Make sure that you check out all of my other social profiles as well. I will endeavour to share more with anyone/ no one that is out there, because that’s what heroes do.
