b is for obsessive compulsive
Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing the associated anxiety, or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions. Symptoms of the disorder include excessive washing or cleaning; repeated checking; extreme hoarding; preoccupation with sexual, violent or religious thoughts; aversion to particular numbers; and nervous rituals, such as opening and closing a door a certain number of times before entering or leaving a room. These symptoms can be alienating and time-consuming, and often cause severe emotional and financial distress. The acts of those who have OCD may appear paranoid and potentially psychotic. However, OCD sufferers generally recognize their obsessions and compulsions as irrational, and may become further distressed by this realization.
OCD is the fourth most common mental disorder, and is diagnosed nearly as often as asthma and diabetes mellitus. In the United States, one in 50 adults suffers from OCD. Obsessive–compulsive disorder affects children and adolescents as well as adults. Roughly one third to one half of adults with OCD report a childhood onset of the disorder, suggesting the continuum of anxiety disorders across the life span.Th e phrase "obsessive–compulsive" has become part of the English lexicon, and is often used in an informal or caricatured manner to describe someone who is excessively meticulous, perfectionistic, absorbed, or otherwise fixated. Although these signs are present in OCD, a person who exhibits them does not necessarily have OCD, and may instead have obsessive–compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), an autism spectrum disorder, or no clinical condition. Multiple psychological and biological factors may be involved in causing obsessive–compulsive syndromes. Standardized rating scales such as Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale can be used to assess the severity of OCD symptoms.

There's a pub on the way home that closed three months ago.
Boarded up with steel shutters the vandals have had to content themselves with smashing the lettering.
Once it said 'The Birch Coppice.'
Now it just spells out to the passer-by that no-one cares any more and this isn't a place to bring children up.
It is statistically proven that you will run out of pins if you didn't count them before starting to work.

A simple word of advice to all the men out there on Father's Day. You can't have a Father's Day, if you ain't around, lol. Happy Father's Day, guys!!!
This post is a little late but... A very good friend of mine, Sunday Ibok, died a tragic and untimely death the end of last month and left me and hundreds of other friends devastated and confused. He was in Texas for a friend’s wedding when he suffered a massive brain aneurism and was care flighted to a hospital in Dallas and put on life support. He was one of those people that shined a little brighter than the rest of us, and I’m not just saying that. When you were around him he made you feel like the most important person on the planet. Like a celebrity. He was a dear friend and he will be missed. He’s with the Lord now and I know that I will see him again someday. Even though it’s extremely painful now, I am so grateful that I had the chance to know Sunday. The last thing he wrote on Twitter was simply the word FAITHFUL. I found this very fitting for the man that he was.

I have no idea who wrote this quote in the first place, there are few versions. Since I'm very connected to it, I decided to do something about it :)

A reworking of a portrait I did of WaMark Basevi exactly 3 years ago to the day, then a client, since a friend, (one of my favourite portraits . . . how could it not be when he looked so great).
