Ramblings

So it seems the blog will come in handy, as I have a lot of nights where I just lie in bed, looking at the ceiling, mixing thoughts of great consequence with random bits of movie trivia. It can get a bit overwhelming, and writing helps. Although I have realised that no matter my frame of mind, I just don't have it in me to do dark and brooding. At this point I feel I must apologise to my friend Alex. I really enjoyed her blogs, and found them articulate to the point of being terrifying, I feel like i'm wasting blog space in comparison!

So... thoughts for the evening :

• The little girl in the advert for Haribo is terrifying
• Speaking of adverts, an open letter to Cadburys - fucking stop it.
• Pineapple Express is great.
• My Bloody Valentine (in headache inducing 3-D, no less) is really quite dreadful.
• I can't take myself seriously enough to do the 'troubled artist' thing.
• I've watched a frankly horrific amount of television today.

I've started working on my next script and already I dislike it a great deal. I really need someone of a similar mind to look over my shoulder and say 'no, that's shit, stop being shit, you shit'.

In closing, I would like to wish Patton Oswalt a Happy 40th. Patton is the best kept secret in stand up comedy (at least he is in the U.K), and I strongly suggest you check him out.

Please carry on listening to Faith No More.

Entree 1

I was inspired by various things to create a blog. Mostly due to me having a place to vent, giving me by proxy the ability to switch my brain off at night.

I recently became unemployed, which was entirely my decision. A decision which I may come to regret, as apparently there's a recession going on. Who knew? Regardless, I'm happy to not be working in the catering industry any more.

A direct symptom of being unemployed is the human brain screaming at you to do things. Relevant things. Things that do not include daytime TV. So I write things now. And I'm about to start writing a script. I haven't decided on the length yet, and the subject matter would probably be touchy if I wasn't available to explain it in person. So I won't explain it. Just trust me.

Listen to Faith No More please.
