One meal a day? I must be out of my mind? It turns out that for me, getting the mindset right is crucial. I mentioned yesterday that while I’m eating just one meal a day I tell myself I can eat whatever I want, whenever I want, and that’s true. There’s nothing stopping me. And [...]

I’ve been eating like a pig even though I’m trying to lose weight. Am I disheartened? Not at all. It’s all part of the plan. Since Friday I haven’t taken too much care over what I’ve eaten and when I’ve eaten it. I’ve eaten whatever I want whenever I want. That includes, pizza, chocolate and [...]

It’s Christmas Eve and in our house it’s tradition to get drunk on Vodka first thing. Of course it goes without saying, only the adults get drunk, not the children. We’re not that irresponsible! No, the children are all given cigars to smoke and the eldest child (eight years old) is put in charge for [...]

The title, “Santa Leaves An Unwelcome Gift”, was very nearly: Santa deliberately misunderstood his wife when she asked him to put another log on the fire. I may have a few more alternative titles as the day progresses, and if I do I’ll leave them in the comments. I thought I’d keep it festive this [...]

I bought It’s Not What You Think by Chris Evans not because I was particularly interested in the life of the man, although I’m not disinterested in it either – that would just be rude! And rude I am not! No, the reason I bought it, is love him or hate him, the man is [...]

For months while I played gooseberry to Tara Cain and David Wright over at Blog To Fit, I enjoyed a certain degree of success with my weight loss and fitness goals, but I hit a frustrating plateau. I lost a pound, I gained a pound, I lost a pound, I gained a pound and then [...]

Maybe slightly on the morose side but the sentiment is just lovely for those who can’t be together at Christmas. I’m not a big fan of the Carpenters but I can’t deny that Karen Carpenter had an exquisite voice. Greeting cards have all been sent The Christmas rush is through But I still have one [...]

It’s the Saturday before Christmas so I feel obliged to share a seasonal tune. This isn’t my favorite Christmas tune but I love it all the same. When it comes to sublime music at Christmas this one must surely be head and shoulders above the rest. What else needs to be said? Bing Crosby I’m [...]

Over the last week I’ve been posting here on a daily basis, partly to prove to myself that I can do it if I try, and partly to reawaken the site after laying dormant for so long. I need it to be active and alive if it’s going to help people with their own projects. [...]

I’ve been experimenting with different types of posts this week, including a review of a Dyson Ball Vacuum (which I enjoyed writing) to see whether I can sustain Selfish Blogger as a personal blog in the long run. The problem I’ve had in the past is having a very fluid remit. That’s not a medical [...]

For Wednesdays I had planned just to doctor a picture of somebody famous by drawing facial hair on them, like a great big handle bar moustache or maybe some sideburns. It was going to be called Midweek Moustache, but I reasoned that after a while pictures of women with badly drawn goatees might wear a [...]

Just in case you’re a man looking to buy the woman in your life a nice thoughtful gift like a steam iron, a washing machine, or a rolling pin so she can bash you round the head with it for being such a sexist pig – Don’t! Buy her something she’ll really treasure… A Dyson [...]

Virtually nothing that happens in my house is private. People are in and out of each others business (oo actually ‘business’ is a bad word given the context but we’ll press on regardless). There are 7 of us living in the house and the activity barely stops. Image: swpave Over the years I’ve become used [...]

The idea for this one came from a radio show I listen to every week on BBC Radio 2. It’s hosted by an incredibly talented and famous broadcaster by the name of Steve Wright and has been the way millions of people have started their Sundays for years. The show is just brilliant if you [...]

Selfish people share their music with others whether they want to hear it or not, so on Saturdays I’m going to share with you some of the music that I like – and I don’t care whether you like it or whether you don’t. You’ll simply have to learn to ignore it (which I suspect [...]

One of the reasons I’m back here with another change of direction and sharing cyberspace with you is that I’ve found a new capacity within myself that’s lain dormant for quite some time. I’ve started to adopt a new way of thinking and it’s working out really well for me. I’ve been building other websites, [...]

Hi, I’m back (yet again) to try something new (yet again) now that I’m not selfish anymore. You’ll note from the header image that I’m sharing my cyberspace with you! I really wanted to put in an oo-er missus but thought no one would understand the reference. Anyway, here’s why I’m back: When I started [...]

Here’s the thing, I’ve dipped my toe back into blogging after being absent for a while, and now that I’m back I want to try a new approach. One of the reasons I keep drifting away from blogging is the amount of time that it takes me to write a post and make replies – [...]

I am a Selfish Blogger
by Dave on May 28, 2010
I should point out that this is not my first blog. No, you see I wasn’t always a selfish blogger. I had another blog before this but it went a bit wrong. It started well enough but I just lost my way. After I left work to become a stay at home dad I convinced [...]
