Oh! It's Burnout ...
This week absolutely sucked. I felt tired, more than tired I felt exhausted, I felt grumpy, I felt stressed, I felt incompetent, I felt lazy, I felt like nothing was going right? I felt like I had so much to do but that I wasn't doing any good at them.

Treading Water
"Lies don't die they grow, and everything you try to hide eventually shows." - MGK "Treading Water." I first began Vocal in 2021, April to be exact. I had just turned 34 that Feburary and I was struggling with sobrity, anxiety and depression. The post is titled "55 days Sober." (its linked if you would like to read it. Its so weird to think that was written almost half a decade ago, so much has changed but so much hasn't. It's almost been two weeks since I turned 39 and I have so many mixed emotions. Thinking back to being 29, about to turn 30 thinking man I'm "old" but also not know the journey that would lay ahead.

The Great Data Strike: Why 2026 is the Year of "Digital Poisoning"
The era of the "Passive User" is dead. For the last decade, we lived under a silent social contract: we get "free" services, and in exchange, big tech gets our data.

How Many Words?
Nine months ago I published my first Vocal story “Coincidentally ... Ken Nordine” which I had lifted from my blog Seven Days In. It has had 40 reads logged against it, that is an average of one read per week. My least read piece has four reads partially because I never shared it on Social Media because it was such a downer piece but I need to get it out of my system and it sits there now as a warning of how not to be.
