how a haircut ruined my life

 *The Unlikely Culprit: How a Haircut Ruined My Life*


It's been two years since my life took an unexpected turn, one that would leave me with a permanent reminder of the fragility of life. It's a story I never thought I'd be sharing, but one that I hope will serve as a cautionary tale. You see, it all started with a haircut.


At the time, I was undergoing radiotherapy, a grueling but necessary treatment to combat a serious health issue. As part of the preparation, a custom-made mask was created to protect areas of my body that weren't being targeted by the gamma radiation. It was a precise and delicate process, one that required utmost care and attention to detail.


But then, disaster struck. My hair grew, and my parents, well-intentioned but misguided, insisted that I get a haircut. They joked that I looked like a sheep, and I, eager to please, acquiesced. Big mistake.


The haircut, though seemingly innocuous, had a devastating consequence. The mask, carefully crafted to fit my original hairstyle, no longer fit snugly. The radiation, once precisely targeted, now seeped into areas it wasn't meant to, causing irreparable damage.


Today, I live with hemiplegia, a condition that has left me with partial paralysis. It's a constant reminder of that fateful haircut, one that I wish I could turn back time to undo.


As I reflect on that experience, I'm struck by the butterfly effect of life. A seemingly minor decision, a haircut, had a profound impact on my life. It's a sobering reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of considering the potential consequences of our actions.


I share my story not to elicit sympathy or pity but to caution others against the unexpected twists and turns of life. Be mindful of the decisions you make, no matter how small they may seem. You never know when a haircut might change the course of your life forever.

the perfect steak ala Stallone

I love fish the most especially mackerel but browned beef is another flavour powerhouse. This method works for any cut of steak but my favourite is picanha also known as rump cap which usually has a nice layer of fat you can crispen while cooking.because it’s rump I find picanhahas a lovely beefy flavour however fillet iis most tender and almost melts in the mouth however it must have a sauce to pair it because I find it doesn’t have much flavour by itself. If you’re trying steak for the first time I’d recommend a fillet with a pepper or garlic sauce for a good time prep simply involves taking the steak out of the fridge to get to room temperature before salting generously with flaky sea salt, any salt will work but i love sea salt.and allowing to stand for at least an hour before going onto your grill or pan, this step is most important and is a lessonfrom heston blumenthal and it serves the dual purpose of seasoning and tenderising. coat the steak with oil(optional but i find it help...

2 movies without cannabis

 *A Today, I'm feeling an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment. It may seem like a small feat to some, but for me, it's a monumental milestone in my journey towards recovery. I watched not one, but two movies from start to finish without resorting to smoking cannabis. This may not sound like a big deal to those who don't struggle with addiction, but for me, it's a testament to my growing strength and determination. For years, I've struggled with cannabis addiction. It's a habit that's been hard to shake, and one that's often left me feeling trapped and helpless. But today, I proved to myself that I'm capable of overcoming it. I chose two movies, settled in, and watched them from start to finish without once giving in to the urge to smoke. It wasn't easy, of course. There were moments when the cravings kicked in, and I had to fight the urge to reach for my usual coping mechanism. But I persisted, drawing on the coping strategies I've...
