I have a plan....

Hiya bob! So it's been a while since I updated this blog and I refuse to let it fall away like so many other blogs. Every year thousands of poor helpless blogs are left abandoned by theirs owners. Like scrappy over here. He doesn't know why his owner stopped posting. He sits waiting for him to come back and post some witty commentary on this years xfactor but he never shows. Over at the blogs trust we never put a healthy blog down. Remember, a blogs for life not just for Christmas! Anyway, so I've come up with a plan to help keep this blog going, and it ties in with my new years resolution, which is 1080p! (bad joke I stole from someone else!) no my resolution this year is to do more writing. So as part of that what I've decided to do is set myself a goal of watching at least one hundred films in the next year. That's one hundred different films either in the cinema, on DVD or on television. So in order to keep track and make sure I do this I'm going to write on this blog about every film I see. It might be an in depth thought provoking review (fat chance) or it might be some trivia about it. It may just be a couple of hundred words on all the things I could do to Uma Thurman! UUMMAA! Either way I will write about it. the film I mean, not Uma. The restraining order won't let me! I probably should set a minimum word count as well so I don't end up with the film equivalent of 'good guy good guy wank'. What do you think? Should there be a minimum word count and if so what should it be? One hundred film blogs in a year. Starting January the first. Sound like fun or the ramblings of a way too tired mind? Anyway, cya later ;)

That time of year

It's my birthday this week and I'm feeling old. I'm going to be thirty eight which I suppose isn't that old but it feels it. I suppose I'm being silly but I keep thinking what have I really done in that time? Am I really where I ought to be at this time in my life? But as well as looking back, looking forward doesn't look that good either. What do I really have to look forward to? Next year, for various reasons, isn't going to be an easy one. Ive got a lot of hardships to deal with next year and I'm not sure I'm ready for them. I need to do something about it. Will I be sitting here a year from now in the same situation? At the moment I've lost my passion for filming. All the troubles and problems from the feature film have really hit me hard. It's put strains on me, my work life, my friendships and my personal life. And it's still not finished. I hope it's not my "la mancha". I'm determined to finish it and make it look the best I can but it may be out of my hands now. Guess I'll need to wait and see what happens. Anyway, happy birthday to me for this Thursday. My present to myself is a week off work to relax and try and get back to normal service. Till then cya later.
