crawling

Sunday, which means work starts tomorrow.. isn't that great.

No it bloody isn't. Everytime someone asks me how work is I say.. It's fine but in reality it is not fine It is torture. I've spent hours working on my own project today and I wouldn't say it was work it was bloody fun.

Spoke to one of my friends the other night a really big inspiration and so I am inspired -lol what a sentence.

Went to Manchester for a comedy night, saw my cousins was all good went to a rave was all young, but was good to hear some old school garage. 

I'm watching old boy right now which is why I'm distracted and all of that. anyway just wanted to say- I'm crawling now- running soon and eventually flying.

Choose-DAy

Today is a Tuesday, - I should end the post there with a solid fact.

Okay so I've finished Season 3 of the wire onto season 4 now, i don't want it to end.
I'm sure I repeat myself on this blog thing, but what the heck.
When I'm old I want to read back on these and smile or have the will to jump off a bridge for not reaching my goals or even trying.

I've messed around on illustrator some more and managed to get around the trial period count down which would have resulted in me losing the most desired vector creation tool known to general mankind. -

will you buy a t-shirt

Thai boxing today 6ish- im leaving work at 4-30 having a conference call at 5-30 whilst driving down the motorway--

I just read Eva's latest post and it was really well put together and mine is just a mind dump

like I've eaten 2 bananas and 3 manadarins a cereal bar, and a snickers and a kit kat- is that a balanced diet--

Falling Down

I missed my turning on the motorway as my Garmin does not have the new roads installed and I ended up in Wales as I crossed the welcome to wales sign everything slowed down. Weird that I was in a different country I got scared by the unpronounceable road signs. next junction 4th exit on the roundabout and got back to England.

Working on the client site a Nuclear facility, I've said too much already

Anyway I wanted to go Thai boxing and then salsa, but - I got stuck in traffic on 4 motorways on the way home , and I felt like I was going to go Postal and unleash Carmageddon,(like the game...remember??) I was going to fall down like Michael Douglas.

Needless to say I missed Thai boxing and went for a serious run in the rain- oh well .

Came home watched some more of the wire- I am an addict tearing through like 3 episodes a day and- I have no spare time so how do I do it.

Went Salsa and moved up a class and lo and behold I was alright best lesson I've had ,picked up new moves- later danced with some experienced dancers and got some tips--

watch me now!!!

Progress

Think!!

What are your dreams, what are your goals, aspirations?

What have you done today, to take a step closer to these dream, what are you doing to do?

Even if it's a little step forward it's a step forward.

I'm trying to motivate myself, i want to do a tutorial on illustrator or photoshop, i will set myself a target to do 3 at least 3 tutorials a week. a a month that will be 21 new things I've learnt in a week'

In a year that's about 252 new things i lie.

I try not to buy t-shirts, thinking I should be making my own- aye

-- it's taking shape slowly-

PS I hate Mondays @ work

Fish Friday

Who is this guy?, do you remember him , yes we all remember Captain Birds Eye. Monopolising the fish finger market posing as a fisherman who only selects the finest cuts of cod and uses the crispiest bread crumbs known to man sprinkled with gold to give it that glow as seen on the adverts. They look so succulent on TV but on your plate they are as plain as the Plainest Jane to have ever lived.

This is my ode to fish, I've had fish for lunch 5 days in a row 2 days of mackerel 2 days of cheap kipper and thanks to Fish Friday Cod and chips ,which as I type is digesting ever so slowly in my belly.

I used to hate fish, and the reason is because of the bones, millions and millions of bones, just like seeded fruit the joy of food is removed by the taboo which is the removal of the hard stuff inside.

Have a flashback to the time a bone scratched the inside of your throat, it's hardly worth the trouble if you ask me. Why can't fish be like chicken with only a few major bones to go through.

Salsa was great last night, need to get in some practice, I'm moving up a level as suggested by one of the event organisers. so catch me soon spinning around a Latin dance floor near you.

Anyway let me end by saluting the late original Captain Birds Eye, although I wonder how we let the pied piper of the sea , an old bearded man who lured kids onto his sea worthy vessel with the promise of golden fish fingers, into our homes and fridge freezers.

Adieu

So far!

SO far I didn't manage to update a blog everyday about my day to day life, but I have managed to progress on my design work.

My friend has a website http://www.mostlylegit.net/

and I am now editing pictures to make them relate to the stories. I've done one so far but this will enchance my skill, so is therefore a step in the right direction.

On another note I'm not allowed to manage a specific project because once upon a time i had dual nationality and due to security reasons. I who have lived in this country for the 24 years 2 months and 7 days am being treated like some sort of foreign threat.

What the funk!

ANyway my legs -thighs -still kill from my thai boxing sessions on Monday whcih is my own fault, this teaches me to stretch after a workout.

Hopefully i can salsa tonight but I mean it's just not cool to be literally crippled- i can't alk down stairs without serious muscle acheage which is subsiding but is still in occurance which means it's not fun times. Especially descending from an attic room, which you have no real want to leave

Anyway Rio Tetsuo is alive I just be concealing him

Wolves

I'm not a hunter but i am told,that, uh, in places like in the arctic,where indiginous people sometimes might, might, hunt a wolf,they'll take a double edged blade,and they'll put blood on the blade,

and they'll melt the ice and stick the handle in the ice,so that only the blade is protruding,and that a wolf will smell the blood and wants to eat, and it will come and lick the blade trying to eat, and what happens is when the wolf licks the blade,of course, he cuts his tongue,

and he bleeds, and he thinks he's really having a good thing,and he drinks and he licks and he licks,and of course he is drinking his own blood and he kills himself,

thats what the Imperialists did with us with crack cocaine,you have these young brothers out there who think they are getting something they gonna make a living with, they is getting something they can buy a car,like the white people have cars, why can't i have a car?they getting something they can get a piece of gold,white people have gold, why can't i have gold?they getting something to get a house,white people have a house, why can't i have a house?

and they actually think that theres something thats bringing resources to them,but they're killing themsleves just like the wolf was licking the blade, and they're slowly dying without knowing it.

thats exactly, precisely what happens to the community,and instead of blaming the hunter who put the damn handle and blade in the ice for the wolf, that what happens is the wolf gets the blame, gets the blame for trying to live,thats what happens in our community,

you don't blame the person, the victim, you blame the oppressor, Imperialism, white power is the enemy,was the enemy when it first came to Africa,and snatched up the first African brothers here against our will,isss the enemy today, and thats the thing that we have to understand.

140 Miles for nothing

I commute to work 4 times a week, but today on arrival @ my destination 70 miles away from my residence, I was told to go back home as the water mains was kaputt, so I didn't get back home till midday, the whole will to work which let's face it was never there had now left the planet-

did some more thai boxing today the fitness session was a little bit serious- but i liked it-

salsa tomorrow though doing twice a week now- well sometimes

this is just a shopping list of what i've done-

oh i did go London on tjhe weekend and went bike riding in burgess with my 7yr old then took  him and the Mrs to cinema,  Ice age 3 was jokes, GBK for dinner which was yum yums lol.

Oh yeah had a long ting club night out spent ages waiting in the queue for a club which eventually demanded 500 from our group-- FCUK NO

went to embassy, which is like ego on steroids, sun tan on crack and WAGS on heat, had to play the diplomat for some awkward situation, with Mr " Do you know who I am"--  I ma the official BFG up in this mother lol.

anyway im watching the wire- so leave me be yo- lol

Scared of Mum and Dad!!

I'm 24 years old and 2 months, I am officially a grown ass man, i've been adult size since I was 16 had a box beard before my GCSE's

but I am still scared about what my parents will think, woe to the day my father finds out I have tattoos. woe indeed.

I want to get more quite a few more, On my arms on my back on my legs. i do not want to be a covered man but I like them.

Will i not like them when I'm 80- who knows but when I'm 80 I'll have bigger problems than the symmetrical swallows flying over my chest. I mean face it I may not even live that long. Carpe Diem.

Is it wrong to be concerned with what your parents will think about things that aren't really life changing although they are lifelong?

If you have parents with traditional values then you may understand where I'm coming from, i got my ears pierced and managed to hide that for a few weeks--to be honest looking back i did rebel for a first generation African boy i got plaits as well but all of that was reversible.

This is just a random burst, has nothing to do with me keeping tabs on my day to day life enjoy

would love ot hear a view or 2-- neeks-- eva??

Slacked already

A week since my last post, so much for everyday-me so sorry

Not sure if i've mentioned that i gots myself Adobe CS4 like everything you'll ever need to make a go of it it the creative arts, in terms of software. so go team

I'm seriously considering retraining - and making a go of it me and my camera and my mac, making some money, getting some clients photographing events-designing some graphics- but not raves-- yeeeuck no offence- but that's long.

Have a lil project to start working on so my skills will grow- anyone got advice let me know

Had a good weekend lil bit of raving- crazy cousins at gatecrasher -I SKANK hard , bit of cinema - and a bit of chilling.

Ps if you like blood the manga -don't bother watching the film bar a few chocie seconds, the film is increibly wack- has some matrix music, below standard 300 action scenes and a story that doesn't quite fit together, it could have been great but it was -not

work is long as usual, imagining being asked to do stuff by someone who doesn't really know what they want you to give them- very gay indeed very gay.

Thai boxong was ill yesterday , I have now purchased gum shield and another ankle support and ill be back there today--

YEAHHH-

thursday tomorrow
