A.M.I.T.I.H.T.S.F.B.E.T.S.E
A moment in time where it's hard to stand far back enough to see everything, or at least enough of my own world.
So today I visited Kendal to catch up with my mate Adam Clarke to talk about creative projects. Mainly Machinima and my film script 'Danny'
We visited Game and looked though the Wii Games, me having acquired a Wii before Christmas Holiday. Adam is aliment on buying a PS3 even when they were £425 at launch but I argured that the PS3, unless you want to have Blu-ray isn't much better than the 360, plus the 360's games are cheaper by about £10 on average. He didn't think much of this and I couldn't talk much as I've only got a Wii at the moment (did used to have a 360 but sold it for laptop funding, BUT ONCE I GET SOME SPARE MONIES!!! gonna get a 360 again xD )
Anyway after that important discussion, we moved onto the matter of finding some coffee and cake *still haven't played Portal :'( * we visited a bar called Bootleggers, partly because of the lure of free wifi but there was no cake :'( anyway, Adam is getting into Machinima using Second Life as you can see below.
I haven't got into Second Life yet as I'm anti social... *cough* NO! I'm very nice in reality but I just don't get Second life, I could understand if you had objecives/being able to do battle with others across the world. Second life is like Big Brother, only more boring >:(
Personally, I'm getting into Cinema 4D cause it is something I can understand xD be sure to watch out for more on that! anyways...
Today was kind of a weired day today, as I feel as if the winds have stopped blowing and I'm adrift in a sea of possibility but I'm in the middle of all possibilities, but if I go for one, I would miss out on everything else. I've lost structure in my life and I float from point to point. I want to get on with my film project but I'm dependent on other people. I don't want to stay in this cycle of waiting for possibilities from other people, so I'm thinking about doing a small personal project like an animated short but I lack the confidence of starting it. I've lots of ideas I came up with during 2007 but I was getting used to the idea of making a feature length film. I guess I need to just have a mind dump sort of video where I just try out lots of stuff.
Also with the start of the new year, I've been teaching myself some new skills for animation, Flash mainly. I really Like Flash, even though it doesn't do everything I would want it to do, but thats how you learn to work within a medium.
Anyway, that enough talking for now, see you in a bit!

The New Year of our Lord of Two Thousand and Eight!
So 2007 is dead, making way for a new, sexier year!
As I run blindly into the future, I look back at what I've done, and I think it was pretty good... One European trip with some StrangE peoples, a new hat and a multitude of new stories to tell.
Anyways, I haven't blogged in a while, so here we go!
--Films and expression--
2007 was spent gearing up for making my first film. Meeting M dot Strange really inspired me to tell my story and not let anyone stand in my way. So I started writing which isn't the easiest thing in the world for me, but after a few dead ends, talks with friends and a few short stories later I landed on my current project! I don't want to give to much away at this time (unless you chat with me online then I've probably told you a thousand times) But it's going to be part road movie, part apocalypse flick and a social drama film, all in one!
With being the kind of person who tends to give away golden ideas to complete strangers, I tend to blurt out great advice. In my mind, this is a good thing (not only for the person I advise) as I learn how how to articulate my ideas so then I can understand them. Now that may sound weired but in the past (when I was a youngling) I couldn't have normal conversations as I would either not speak and be depressed, or I wouldn't stop speaking about one subject, not actually having a conversation. Such is the life being a Dyslexic/Autistic person. Now I'm better :D
--The lighter side of life--
As 2007 was in it's last few weeks, Christmas came and brought with it a Nintedo Wii (actually I bought it about a week before Jesus's Birthday, but who am I to argue with the status quo??!?!) and with the Nintedo Wii came distraction for the rest of the world. Also, i've started watching lots of old Doctor Who episodes (the tom baker years mainly) as the are very win!!!
Ever get the feeling your being watched?
Thanks for reading! if you spotted any grammar or spelling mistakes, please take pity upon me and leave a comment pointing it out. Thanks muchly! And who needs good spelling when you have a cowboy hat!

Book Review; Global Warming Survival Handbook
I highly recommend everyone to read this book if you know a little or allot about climate change. It's a very good, and the 'If all else fails' part is very good (which I talk about allot during this video)
Buy the book from here.

Enjoy!
