Meh

I'm tired. No, weary is better. Or maybe lethargic. That's a good word. It's probably post holiday blues. I've had a good couple of weeks to relax and recharge and I think I've done that but now it's back to business as usual. That's the thing with holidays. You go on holiday to get away from your life, your normal day to day living and it's great but when it's over it's the same thing you go back to. Nothing's changed. Who knows, maybe I just need more coffee. Cya later

Heading home

Well, that's my holiday drawing to a close. Tomorrow its a day of driving to get back home. I think this holiday's done me good though. I feel like my batteries are fully charged and I'm writing again so that's gotta be good. This is when it gets tough though. Can I keep the flow going back home? I really enjoy these mobile blogs so plan on keeping them going. Whether they'll be worth reading or not is another thing! Hopefully they will. Either way, to anyone who reads these let me know if your enjoying them or not. Either leave a comment or email me. Right, off to get packed to head home. The next couple of months are going to be busy! Got at least two films to do possibly more and I should find out soon if I've passed my uni course. If I do then I'll have a degree! OK, it's an Open degree from the OU, but it's still a degree. Cya later :)

Creativity part deux

So I've started writing the zombie film. I have a small 'production company' (a name we make movies under!) with my good friend Mandy, called Homedy and Corror. Here's how it works:-
Mandy: Joe, you doing anything this weekend?
Joe: nope
Mandy: cool! Iet's write a script and make a movie! You write, I'll make 10 gallons of fake blood!!

Before you know it we have a film with loads of blood in it! It's worked for us so far. Well, this week she posted the 'trailer' we made earlier this year for the zombie film and that kind of kick started things! So now the plan is to film it in small chunks over the weekends. Most people would say it's madness but somehow, I reckon it's sheer determination, when mandy decides it'll work it works! God help us if she ever turns to politics, she'd be prime minister by chirstmas! Still, it's got me writing again so it must be a good thing! Cya later.

Creativity

I consider myself to be a creative person but sometimes I couldn't muster a sentence with a dictionary and book called "sentences for dummies" one of the things I planned on doing this holiday is writing. To be specific writing the script for the zombie film. So far nothing! I can guarantee that if I sit down to actually write nothing will happen simply because I'm now out of the habit of it. That's one of the reason's for this blog. It's a word gym! The more I write, even if it is a lot of nonense on how I can't write, the better I'll get. Well, that's the theory anyway. :/
I want to write some scripts. Stuff to film. Another side I want to do more of. The problem there is I also want to act as well. Ah well, I'm sure it'll work out in the end....right?

St Davids

It's a nice day for a wedding, and that's what's happening today at st David's cathederal in wales. Or at least that's what's supposed to be happening, but no sign of the bride! Can you imagine how the groom is feeling? Everything's booked, the guests are here, there are loads of tourists waiting outside but no sign of the bride. He's thinking the same as everyone else...'Where is she?' All around me people who, like me, don't know the bride are speculating on what's happened. Is it a flat tyre on the car? Has she had second thoughts? Or has she hired James May to drive her to the church? Who knows! When she gets here, if she gets here, there's at least 100 invited guests, 60 uninvited tourists, and 1 very nervous groom waiting... Poor bride!

The truth

There was this man called Eddie. He had a very important job. Maybe the most important of all. It was his job to guard the door of a very important room. No one could enter and no one could leave. Eddie took his job very seriously and took great pride in being the best he could be at it. 'No one else', he thought,'could do such a great job as me!' One day, eddie's boss turned up and said 'eddie, it's time you had a holiday, you've earned it!' Eddie thought about it and finally said 'nope sorry boss but I can't take a holiday. If I did who would guard the door?' 'That's easy,' replied his boss and took out a big key. He locked the door and said 'no one'
It was then that eddie realised his job wasn't that important afterall. He could very easily be replaced. So off he went on holiday and never came back. The end.
Cya later!

Holidays

I'm on holiday! Guess the title gave it away huh! I'm down in a place called Gwynt in cardigan Bay in Wales. It's not bad. Views are nice etc but I started thinking today about how we act differently when we're on holiday. At home I tend not to drink much but go on holiday and the first question I ask is "where's the pub?" (Answer is 500 yards down the road.Result!) I read more on holiday as well. Mainly because I have time to, a luxury I don't have at home. This year,the place we're staying has no internet and no mobile signal! Actually you can get a signal but you need to be either outside or in the pub! The problem with that though is as soon as I do get a signal my phone goes nuts! All those couple of text updates I usually get throughout the day come at the same time. There's something intimidating about your phone showing 30 unread texts! I'm sure I'll get used to it. Anyway, to anyone who is reading this,and let's face it there ain't that many of you, I have one piece of advice. No matter where your going on holiday remember to pack a jacket or at least a jumper! I, for some reason I'm sure made sense at the time packed 10 T-shirts and not one jumper...for a holiday in Wales...wtf was I thinking!?! We have a film to make called 'Electric Blue' when I get back which involves someone havibg blue skin. By the time I get home I could be used as a stunt double! It's bloody cold!!! On that note I'm off to defrost with a hot cup of coffee. Cya later

Ego

I read a comment someone made on facebook recently that ended with "perhaps you need my professional help"... Now, I don't know about you but to me that brings to mind another phrase "what a wanker!" I mean come on! Who in their right mind says that kind of thing! Actually I already know the answer to that. It's usually the kind of person who's had just a touch of success. Not enough to actually be known by anyone but kind of on the edge of celebrity. Maybe they once had a walk on part on emmerdale. Maybe they stood at the urinal next to Dale Winton in the BBC toilets. They probably went on to write one of those "how to be successful like me" books which they probably self published through a website. Basically it comes down to Z list celeb with A list ego! Even if they did have talent of some sort you would never find out because as soon as you mix a modicum of talent with a whole lot of ego you end up with a big stinky pile of grade A wanker! Now there's nothing wrong with self belief, It pays to have confidence in yourself and your talent, but the minute your ego overshadows your talent it's time to cut the crap and get back in touch with the real world. So please should you ever be tempted to say "perhaps you need my professional help" stop what your doing, find a mirror, point at your reflection and shout as loud as possible "s
STOP BEING A WANKER!" And that,people, is my non-professional strictly amateur opinion. cya

Quiet Time

I know what your thinking, what is quiet time?well you know when you go out with mates to rip the town a new one? Everything starts great. The drink is flowing, the conversation is smooth, the company is all that matters. Then after an hour or so, someone heads to the loo, someone else spots an old friend, someone heads to the bar. Then before you know it your all alone, in the middle of town,and no matter how loud the place is you sit there quietly waiting for someone to come back. That is quiet time. It's then that time slows. A minute seems to last forever. You feel like that guy who turns up at a party in fancy dress when it's not. So what do you do? Do you sit and wait for people to come back or go mingle? Then just as your about to give up hope you see a familar face coming towards you smiling. You smile back. Salvation is in sight. Here comes the noise. You feel the pressure lift. They're almost there now. You can't wait. The joy is building. Your being rescued. You shake hands and they say "hey mate, gonna watch my bag thanks" and then they're gone. Now your stuck. You can't leave now, you need to sit there. Even if the building was burning down you have to look after the precious bag and it's unknown contents. Shit!

First!

Blogging. It's been a while and I never seem to keep it going but this time, I will. Promise. Cross my heart hope to die. Well maybe not die... Let's settle for hope to get a really really nasty papercut!
I think it'll work this time. You see I'm doing it slightly different. I take my mobile everywhere so I've setup mobile blogging! I can blog whenever I want :) only takes a few minutes. So anytime I'm sitting quietly with nothing to do I'll try and blog! Hope it works :/ anyway, one down loads to go....I hope! Night night
