The Apocalypse

I watched a program the other day about how the book of Revelations may be predicting the apocalypse and that it may be happening right now. There is an increase of natural disasters, we now have weapons of unbelievable destruction, there are more uncurable diseases now and Famine is rife in the middle east. Now considering that the four horsemen are War, Disease and Pestelance, Hunger and Famine and lastly Death. (Even thought the bible only names Death)

Is it just that these things together represent the end of the world and that judgement day is imminent? Or is it just that these things have always been here and now that we have the technological ability to broadcast events happening almost instantly to the rest of the world, we are beginning to see the true power of our fragile world and the damage that we have caused. Whatever the reason, there seems to be a lot of death and suffering in the world and it's days like these that your own problems take a back seat and you truly appreciate what you have and that your life is nowhere near as bad as a lot of people in the world. (That may sound selfish, but it's something to be thankful for I think)

Anyway... remember this: "No event or occurance could never be that bad that it can't get worse". Always be prepared for things to come. It doesn't look too good from where I'm sitting!

If anyone is interested...

I am currently making a skateboarding movie called 'bateSkoarding' along with my younger brother and my mate John. We are still filming but I think it will be finished soon. I have been assigned the task of designing the front cover and I was just wondering if anyone would like to offer their opinion on something...




We have all decided on the lettering and the style but I think the white S makes it jump out a bit... I know the sketch is a wee bit scrappy but it won't be the one that I put on the cover.

I have also noticed that my blog doesn't seem to get as many hits as it used to get. My last two posts got 0 comments and I was quite disappointed. I know my blog is just a random collection of thoughts, but the clue is in the title. I see a lot of blogs out there where people talk about their cat and get 20 comments, what's up with that?

I think I'll make more of an effort to post comments on other people's blogs, I just read them quickly and never bother to write down what I think of a post. I think i'm just impatient. So... anyway, I'll post more regularly too, but for now I've gotta go and find a job.

I Need Money!!!

My siuation is getting rather desperate, I haven't worked now since the end of June and a lot of problems with rent and other household money drains are starting to catch up with me. If I don't get a job soon it will soon engulf me and I'll get evicted or go crazy. Right now I would prefer the latter!

This, however, has only given me a bigger sense of urgency to make it big, or at least enter the industry soon. Maybe I'm too picky with the work I'm looking for, maybe I should get a part-time job doing anything while I save for the dream... all the time writing and drawing. I'm not panicing yet, I still have time. I just hope that I can get my head together and come up with something that someone wants to buy.

Perception of Time

Is it just me, or do days go faster when you have more purpose? I have gathered a lot of info about Am Dram societies in my area and I've started to write more music. Once I get a little job I'm gonna save up for a drum kit and write some PROPER stuff, record it and hopefully get a band together to perform gigs.

I have been getting panic attacks recently, due to my overactive brain. I had a blood test but there seems to be nothing wrong. My doctor told me to 'calm down', but in my opinion, that is what is causing it. The more I am active, the less it happens. But, I'm sure it'll fade when I am living the dream, so to speak. Once I have eventually enetered the entertainment industry, I feel my life will be totally different and I may become a whole different person.

Let's just wait and see what time brings.

What I will do next...

I have decided to try and get into the theatre and start acting. I know I can do it, my friends and parents tell me all the time that i should be a voice over artists or a comedian. I am very good at impersonating people, especially celebrities, but other people would say that I am better than good. I cannot say wether I am or not, that is for the audience to decide. I also have no problems with performing in front of loads of people, in fact I fell more comfortable when people are looking at me if I am playing my guitar of copying something off the T.V, which people also say I have a knack for remembering scripts and quotes.
I have written to the manager at my local playhouse and I have sent away for information about the Am Dram societies in my area. I'm really looking forward to it and hope that this will be the start of my future, living my dream, in entertainment. I'm not sure if I'm quite ready to go to london yet, but if I have to go there in the future, I will.

This has been just another post to tell myself what I am going to do. I'm not really sure wether or not anyone could comment, but if you could. It always makes me smile to think that just one person has read my little space on the internet.

Promise to myself

Today I'm gonna turn it all around. I'm gonna quit smoking weed, and try harder to find a job. I need to focus way more on my skating, because my attitude towards it has been a faded as of lately. Mostly down to smoking weed and being lazy. So this is why I am quitting the pipe and becoming more active again.

This is 'the first day of the rest of my life'. And hopefully it'll all work out. If I am determined enough to get what I want, then it will happen. All I need to do is stop this cannabis induced procrastination by changing my priorities and creating achievable goals. I have spent the last few days really thinking about it and I have decided that right now is the time.
