The Art of Being Rejected

The Bookshop Guru


This is a true story, which happened to me several years ago now. In a way it’s a bit like one of those stories you would expect under “the tales of the unexpected” the TV series. But, with one thing missing, it’s not a creepy or a frightening story. Anyhow, it was one of those days when I would hop into my car with a couple of my paintings and drive to search out some art galleries. This was something I did quite frequently back then. I would wander off into the unknown and see what happened. It was mid-summer, the height of the holiday season as I parked up and took a stroll into the seaside town looking for art galleries. I felt sure I was in the right place. The watercolours I had tucked under my arm were a couple of seascapes, which would sell well in this seaside town, I thought. The watercolours were quite modern, but tighter than I usually paint especially these days.

I took a deep breath and entered the art gallery right on the seafront.  My first impression was of an art gallery with very little white space. Floor to ceiling the walls were plastered with art of all shapes and sizes.

I walked over and introduced myself to the owner of the gallery. I began by explaining why I was there. Then I propped my two watercolours below her desk so she could take a look. The lady began by saying she thought my paintings were too modern. I listened to what she had to say about my work. But, just then a customer came into the gallery and walked around as the gallery owner continued talking about my work. The gallery owner said, “I don't think your work would sell well in here, it’s too modern.” I tried to persuade her otherwise, but then the customer who had just come in came over to where I was standing and stood looking at my paintings. Whereupon she asked me how much would these paintings of mine cost? I explained how much for the pair and she agreed to buy them there and then. I even had to ask the gallery owner who was listening to this conversation if I could borrow a pen as the customer was writing me a cheque.

The strangest part was after the customer had gone the gallery owner still wouldn't consider selling my artwork in her gallery even after she had to eat her words. I don't know if she was still embarrassed or what, but when I breathed fresh air the buzz was fantastic. I guess sometimes it’s difficult to convince some people even when they have had to eat their own words.

Are you listening,  what are you dreaming?

As Jesus said, “belief is everything.”

You, Me and Bipolar

It’s been about 10 years since I was first diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and before that, from about the age of 16 years old I have suffered from depression. In fact, I believe my many visits to doctors from the age of 16 years old I never got the correct diagnosis; it was always ‘you have depression’ and I was given some medication (antidepressants without mood stabilizers, which was completely wrong)  and that was about it.

Yes, you could say things have changed since then, but have they? Most doctors that I have seen over the years have very little experience or empathy for people suffering from depression or Bipolar disorder; in my opinion. In fact, I wonder how doctors are trained these days because some seem to lack common sense when it comes to being able to assess a patient’s needs. A few years ago, my grandmother was in a residential home for the elderly supposedly being looked after by the care staff, yet, it took three different doctors and three months to diagnose my grandmother had a fractured femur In that time the doctors and care staff could not recognize why my grandmother would grimace when she was made to move (an obvious sign she was in pain) from her chair and before this fracture, she was a woman who was very actively walking around the residential home. Now, do you see what I mean, either the doctors don’t care for patients who are elderly or they just lack common sense; in my opinion, they (doctors, and care staff) lack common sense because someone who is normally active and then becomes reluctant to move and shows signs of in pain when they try to move them should have been enough for any sensible person to figure out. And, all this happened in North Devon, England and the culprits (doctors) were from (Northam Surgery, Bay View Road, Northam, Bideford, North Devon EX39 1AZ, UK). So, do you see what I mean?

In fact, most people have a simple view of depression they equate it with their experience of day-to-day living when sometimes they may feel depressed about something, but manic depression now called Bipolar disorder is a completely different ‘kettle of fish’ that has nothing to do with normal depression which most normal people will have from time to time.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to Bipolar disorder some believe that it is a product of environmental (childhood abuse or similar stresses occurring through the patient’s life) factors or some form of genetic factors (chemical imbalance in the brain) playing a part. In my opinion, it’s most likely to be a combination of the two factors of inherited genes (or chemical imbalance) and the patient’s childhood stresses.

In my case, I have suffered from both because in my childhood I experienced a lot of grief and I most likely inherited (from my grandfather who hung himself) and my dad who suffered from severe black depression the defective genes or chemical imbalance in the brain. I chose to write this article to highlight some of the issues regarding Bipolar disorder and how it affects me and possibly you.

My second bookIt’s Never Too Late’ is not just about how I have coped over the years with Bipolar disorder; it’s written using a series of true stories that I have experienced from childhood to the present day to help explain and help other people understand Bipolar and perhaps help them cope with this debilitating disease. I sincerely hope the book helps; because you, me, and bipolar need all the help we can get.

You will find other articles and stories that I have written concerning how Bipolar has affected me on this website and on my other website  ‘Never Late But Sorry,’ please search them out and read them and perhaps they will help you; I sincerely hope so.

The Economic Triangle of Europe, China, and America


The global recession that is now about to show its hand started when Germany insisted on austerity for most of Europe more than three years ago. In a sense, Germany shot itself in the foot by insisting on this austerity policy for Europe which caused a slowdown in demand not just in Europe, but also in China. Its taken about three years of depressed demand to fully show up in China’s economy but now it has taken hold with many ghost towns where literally every factory is deserted and unfinished building projects resemble some sort of nuclear accident. What people fail to understand is the level of unemployment is rising in China and there is no state aid and the Chinese are natural savers and not spenders, so the move to a consumer led economy will be hard to achieve given these facts.

With many American companies relying on trade with China and Europe the feedback loop equally affects the American economy which hadn’t really recovered from the 2008 financial  crisis with many Americans on low wages and unable to spend. The commodities downturn which is ultimately dependent on demand has been savage and affects many emerging economies again adding to weak demand for export led economies such as Germany and so the feedback loop feeds the global recession. 

With negative interest rates in Europe and Japan this shows that these policies are not working and the only reasonable policy is to spend money on infrastructure and increase the level of wages for the low paid to a living wage and watch as their respective economies grow. Without this type of policy that serves the greatest majority (the low paid) and interest rates between 2 and 4% we will have more unrealistic asset bubbles that will only create a greater inequality in society and lead eventually to a breakdown of social cohesion. 

I believe governments around the world can avoid the worst of a global recession by seizing the moment by spending money on new innovation and technology that provides solutions to climate change such as Solar Power Stations, All Electric Vehicles, Wind and Wave Power, and Environmental Schemes to Clean up Pollution. 

It doesn’t make any sense for countries such as Brazil to be spending billions on hosting the Olympics yet they pour raw sewage into the sea.

The Age of the Combustion Engine is Over

Yes, the future is now, otherwise your children will inherit an Earth more like a toilet. If the combustion engine had never been invented, then most likely the world would be a healthier place for all creatures, instead we have to breathe in lots of pollution. If you don’t think you are breathing in lots of population, then, try not picking your nose at night. Remember, it wasn’t that long ago when our governments said, “Use leaded petrol it perks you up and its good for the car” only to find after many years of use throughout the world that we were accidently killing ourselves and our children with harmful pollutants which our governments failed to test for.

Those harmful lead and other pollutants are still out there in the environment being blown about with the other more recent and current pollution. I know we are breathing in large amounts of pollution from what I said about picking your nose the evidence is evident. You perhaps think that if you live somewhere like on the coast the air will be fresh, well; you are mistaken because I live on the coast and believe me I have to pick my nose every night; it’s no joke, pollution is a major problem that most people seem to ignore as long as they are driving around in the latest gas guzzler. The trouble with pollutants is they don’t leach out of your body and the long term build-up of pollutants in your body is anyone’s guess.

So, instead of just thinking about you, which is a common trait of the human (homo sapiens sapiens) species, it is about time you considered your children and other people.

That is why Volkswagen recently had a problem with some of its vehicles failing emission tests, because no matter how you shake it the emission testing is now more vigorous than it used to be or is it? If it wasn’t for some cheating software fix most of Volkswagen’s vehicles would have failed the current emission testing in America and some other European countries. To be frank, Volkswagen needs to forget about catalytic converters and design and sell all electric vehicles because that is the future and the future is now. 

If people think you can wait until they have sucked every last barrel of oil out of the earth, then, you are on a different planet because by that time the world will most likely resemble a toilet and is that what you want your children to inherit?

Sell on Red Buy on Blue ~ Why the Oil Companies Have to Wake Up?

The recent global sell off in the oil price is actually a good thing for the environment (less cost effective oil projects don't get the go ahead) and the obvious costs benefits to the consumer are numerous in cheaper gas and fuel.

But, I think the oil companies need a seismic shift in their thinking as does the general public. It’s about time, everyone woke up and realised the age of the combustion engine is over; the new age is electric vehicles and if you don’t want your children to inherit an Earth that is fast approaching a toilet, then, you need to wise up.

The pollution of our upper atmosphere is a major problem affecting our weather systems (weird and more intense storms) for everyone on this planet whether you live in Timbuktu or downtown Los Angles, but, most people have chosen to ignore what we are breathing in; have you tried not picking your nose at night? The long term consequences of all this pollution (we are breathing in a considerable amount) is unknown, other than you need to be thinking electric, so that we can start to breath pure air again. 

We have a big chance to change to no waste technology (NWT) and we (governments and NGO’s) should be grasping the moment with both hands, because, now, is the time to move forward with their climate change plans by many factors. NWT is about using Solar Power Stations (the Sun generates more energy than we could ever use every day for the world) where we can in (deserts, hot countries etc.) and using technology such as solar, wind and wave power, electric vehicles and other innovations. Did you know that you could 'green' the deserts of the world if you wanted to by building solar power stations (SUN ~ Endless Supply and No Waste) in the deserts and power desalination plants at the coast to supply fresh water wherever you wanted.


The time has come to stop thinking about yourself and think electric cars ~ fancy that, no pollution and we can breathe again, hooray, hooray, for common sense alternatives. How green are you?

What are the Tipping Points? The Coming Environmental Apocalypse

The short answer is: We don’t know. The environmental changes and the rise of more intense weather events are now more apparent to everyone on this planet, it’s only a few vested interests which denies the problem. 

If people think the recent agreement at the COP2015 Climate Change sparks a feeling of ‘everything will be alright’ are living on a different planet. We don’t have to the middle of this century to limit a 2 degree increase in global average temperatures. Look around the world, the tipping points have probably already happened. The chain reaction of events as the temperature increases in different parts of the world has unknown consequences that are too unpredictable to be modelled to any degree of certainty. People need to get round to thinking completely differently, otherwise, we may have fewer years than you think to stabilise the planet.

When people have to walk around Beijing (Capital of China) with face masks everyday just so they can breathe tells the stark reality of ignoring climate change and just as important the pollution which has a direct effect on everyone. If you want to burn coal (we should use the resource because it’s no good underground) then, why not, as long as, you fit chimney scrubber technology (This takes out the harmful particles and absorbs the CO2 emissions from the power stations) then, this waste can be recycled and the people can then breathe again without the need for face masks. 

Just think the future is; electric vehicles (no waste technology (NWT)) and your problems are solved more or less overnight. Why do you think Volkswagen had a problem with its cars? We can’t continue to pollute the atmosphere and if you can’t breathe, then, what is the point of driving a petrol or diesel car when the future is now and that’s electric cars. Just think; if the invention of the combustion engine had never happened, perhaps, we would have had a cleaner environment and oil would have been a lightly used product to grease the blades of a turbine?

One example of ignoring climate change is the following: The floods that we were told were once in a hundred year events are now more like every other year and happening all over the world.

The choice is: We need to move to non-waste thinking; electric cars, solar power stations, solar technology, wind and wave power, and more innovation. Now, do you get the picture ~ the future is now; we can’t wait until they’ve sold every last barrel of oil, otherwise, your children are going to inherit a toilet. Just remember, if you don’t think you’re breathing in pollution, then, try not picking your nose at night! The long term effects of breathing in all this pollution is anyone’s guess.
