If I do this once a month will this technically be considered an "active" blog? Hopefully my life and job will be picking up enough soon that I will actually have something to write about. In the last month basically all I have achieved is written a thousand emails, gave up on growing out my beard, cleaned the hell out of my room, fixed some poorly neglected car parts, resized file after file after file, played "Last Summer" repeatedly on my ipod, watched horribly rubbish dvds, tried to sneak around the new skate park to tag it, read the first part of Pride and Prejudice again (and by again, I mean for the 18th time), changed my ringtone to the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger's, listened to Jack Johnson albums on repeat, and sat in front of the computer unblinking for hours on end. The fact that I can summarize a month's worth of activity into a horribly long sentence is proof that I don't really deserve to have a blog.
Started a bit of drawing this week, for my mate Ryan's tattoo. This was the first time in a long time that I actually had FUN drawing. Unfortunately I lost a lot of detail after scanning and altering the image. I think my poor old scanner that has to have books put on top of it to scan things well is finally starting to give out. I also FINALLY finished this poster for my DJ mate that I had started months back. I ended up doing this whole thing entirely in Photoshop, and while normally I am not pleased with the end results of doing this sort of thing...I am super happy with the way this ended up. The gleam on the text was such a happy accident, that I have been trying to breakdown how I did it in hopes of replicating it again and again. I also realized while making this that I have been using the same basic texture over and over again, that I made for a bit of uni illustration about 2 years ago. This is the sort of thing that leads one to having external hard drives stacked on top of each other, but im taking my computer to the limit, whilst making it unbearably slow.
Summer's coming, the light is brighter for longer, the warmth stays in the air for more length of time than thought possible for England, which means i can finally deck out my camo shorts again, i'v missed those things. Thought about getting a new car for the last week or so, sharing it with my best friend, but we've decided to stick with my current one until she passes her test and then can get a car herself, and i'l just keep mine until it runs into the ground. Think I'm going to clean it up as well, bring it back to top condition and maybe include a good sound system to blow the cobwebs away. That'll do for now, till next time........
My Heart's Not Broken And I'm Not Dead
Oh, the ways of the modern world. Did you know they send turtles through the mail? This seems incredibly risky, and I will be stunned and amazed when I receive a package with a turtle that hasn't been dead for hours. I promised myself I wouldn't talk about music nobody wanted to hear about on here, and now I am rambling about turtles. I had a dream the other night that I converted all of my money to US dollars. I guess I was planning for a trip. There are few things that would make me happier at the moment. This week has been a culmination of many many things. I will have more to say about it next week, along with a handful of new work both professional and personal. But regardless, I think I am finally on the road to being happy. It is a refreshing feeling.
Whoever you are out there, thank you. My prayers were finally answered today when I turned that corner at the petrol station, and saw an old friend that had been missing for years. I don't think I have laid eyes on Werther's Originals since at least 1998. It is and always has been by far my favorite candy. So thank you whoever you are, thank you. And on a side note; there are big things in the air. HUGE things. Most of them happening before this week's end. The least of which being my dream of owning a ticket to the Boardmasters, finally coming true. HUGE things, Boardmasters, AND Werther's Originals? I might just die of happiness.
