An emotion you can’t be stern with.

It was my beautiful Nikita's 3rd birthday yesterday. For 3 wonderful years she has blessed every step of my life. We had a party. It was good fun, you know, the usual party pies, sandwiches, fairy bread, cake and the standard 7 days preparation that goes into these … [Read more...]

A childhood revisited

August 19, 2013 By Rory 7 Comments

I revisited my childhood yesterday. When I say I revisited it, I'm not talking about the Barbie Dolls that I saw splayed on the garage floor, unclothed and in unflatteringly compromised positions. Neither am I talking about the enthralling second instalment of G.I. Joe that I … [Read more...]

Discipline or disarray?

The toilet challenge

March 13, 2013 By Rory 5 Comments

I’m feeling a little low on confidence this morning. Why? Yesterday I was presented with a challenge. A new challenge that comes with the tasks of a young father caught in the stage of toilet training. I'm sympathetic to the task of toilet training. It's a difficult … [Read more...]

The inner child

December 30, 2012 By Rory 2 Comments

Friday night I was up working at about 11am. Amanda and the girls were in bed. It’s my favourite time to work, all is quiet and I just stick on my iPod and zone out while doing my graphic design. Usually I listen to my 'top rated' playlist. It’s an eclectic mixture of rock, … [Read more...]

About Rory


Welcome to Memoirs of the Mind.

Here you will find love, happiness, family, frienship, appreciation of all things beautiful, and continual jabs at intellectual dishonesty and corrupt politicians.

I am a social justice warrior, the gadfly of hypocrisy and advocate of the words 'guilty by omission'.

My aim is to call out the intellectually dishonest among us who refuse to question, communicate or critique.

My current passion is laughing at people who think fake news and Russia is an excuse for Donald Trump and analysing the whining capitulation that has followed.
