Ma Main Man

Well well well...its about time that I posted a blog about my loverrrr. Yes this man is the one and only Noel Fielding aka Vince Noir in The Mighty Boosh.

Previously roaming the stage as a stand up comedian he and his partner in crime Juilan Barrat now write TMB which is what you could call an acquainted taste. This eccentric Englishman struck my heart when I first noticed his quirky dress sense whilst watching an ep of his series and ever since our virtual marriage has been going strong.

Identity theft

Do you ever feel that someone is copying you in every way possible. Whether it be on purpose or not, it still gets to you. Soon enough your clothes,hair, taste even your friends become replicated by someone else and its as if your style isn't so unique anymore.

Winter awaits and echoes her sorrow

Shadows dance under the moonlight

to the timeless song of love

The Garden of Eden now wilted and barren

the gods avenge with an eternal curse

She rides upon the wings of darkness

calling the names of the damned

Frozen in ice yet burning in flames

hollow hearts and empty hands

The keys to love have descended 

to the triple six below

Angels parade they're fear of love

Whilst the fallen remain bloody and lone

Internal scars bleed dry whilst

Winter awaits and echoes their sorrow

Shadows dance under the moonlight

to the timeless song of life

Now decrepit from the endless tomorrows

Who doesn't love a bit of Philosophy?

The people of today are rarely heard saying "This is my responsibility," or "These are my responsibilities." Instead they are heard exclaiming "This is my right", "These are my rights." We look at society and see greed and hatred. It is so simple for us to cast out the wrong doers, and point the blame in their direction. Yet shouldn't question ourselves as to who raised these people? Whose responsibility were they?

People are more concerned with their own security than other people's. People are more concerned with their wealth than well being. If modern day society is corrupt and toxic, then why are we blaming the portion of the world who contribute to such evil, because they had to start from somewhere.

This technology dominant generation, is the start of a new wave for man kind. We are so consumed with the material aspects of the world, and are forgetting how to properly live. Mankind's inability to connect and respect, is changing the world as we know. It has changed the world as we know. Change is how we began. Change is how we survived, and change is how we will diminish. We are at a crossroad of problems and each government is scrambling for a solution.

Soon it will be my generation's responsibility to care for the Earth. We need to resurrect the values and morals in order for future generations to survive.

Puru

It's 23 days until my best mate leaves for Puru. Yes you read correctly Puru. After a grueling twelve years at her prestigious school, she has now graduated and broken free. Now I'm a little sketchy on the details, but as far as I know she's volunteering over there, assisting in the construction of schools and teaching English to school children. So in other words, she's pretty damn amazing/brilliant/kind/helpful/selfless/ did I say brilliant?

Any-who, the concept of her leaving me for approximately 9 months is daunting enough, yet the thought of having to deal with year 12 ALONE, is almost too much to bare. Last year when she battled through her studies, I was there for her every complaint and breakdown. However I fear as though I will be venting to her via means of SKYPE. Yet as much as I'm willing to shun the whole trip, I must think of the children!! After Lizzie (that is her name) finishes her good deeds in Peru, she will be venturing out to London to see our dear friend Buzz. This little quest has also left me envious of her freedom, and resentful of the rest of my year.

Another important aspect of this year she will miss out on is my eighteenth birthday, the passing of my moped license and the passing of my car license. I can't even take her to my formal if I find myself partnerless. Yes, it will be one of the hardest years of my life (I use the word hardest very loosely.) Just incase some of you readers, which certainly isn't many, are unaware of where or even what Peru is, let me inform you.

          Some Llamas, which are Peru's native animal...I think.

Machu Picchu, built in 1492, and will be one of the many places Lizzie will explore.

The Peruvian Map.

I look forward to 1) her going away party 2) her birthday present for me, because they're simply the best 3) her arriving home.

TTFN.

A different perspective

The pain that ignites our hearts

Writhes uncomfortably

The searing edge of doubt

Once blinds, now makes us see

As the serpent of lies come forth

And our thoughts of despise show through

I can run and hide from you

But I will never be set free

Unwrap these chains of trust

Words simply aren't enough

The golden sun is setting

And the darkness is caving in

We loath the grip that remains

Turning our heart insane

I dare not speak

In the name of fear

Knowing my chances are weak

I'll forever hide my dear

Wait until the waves crash in

And all is destroyed

I'll never stop waiting

I'll never give in

And we can feel it burning

Our soul's are yearning

For the one it calls it's own

We will forever burn.

My heart goes out to you, my dear friend.

Would you like a sample?

Half way between English and visual communication and design, I was adamant to find something fresh in my wardrobe...and by fresh I mean old.

                         Shirt: vintage Joe Boxer. Denim Jacket: vintage roy. Hoodie: American Apparel

After this state of procrastination, I then decided to surf the Net in updates of IDN Magazine. Probably the most delectable and cool magazine EVERRR!! Seeing as its only been 2 weeks since I bought my last one, I assumed there wouldn't be any new releases. But I clicked away regardless.

This month...

includes a range of designers who prefer the "hands-on" approach, as opposed to usual digital work. To my surprise, when I purchased the mag I received a complimentary DVD filled with juicy short films, animations, commercials, promos and photo-shoots. The layout of the magazine is also an inspiration to me, in reference to the sub-culture magazine I'm developing for my media outcome.

I'd like to say kudos to Nazario Graziano...big name, major graphic designer/illustrator. He is the founder of ATNI and RevolverLover magazine. The bloke's never ending portfolio is due to his massive cliental. He's been summoned by MTV, Toyota, New York Magazine, IDN Magazine, Toxic.fm and many many more companies.

Conclusion...he's a pretty rad dude.

TTFN.
