wip

from my other blog i had an idea, this has been an idea since then.
it is now going to be my first fully digital piece of art, since those vectors i used to do way back when.
i think it'll be good, eventually. needs about a weeks more work. the image shows the piece after about 20 minutes of getting the perspective right, and 5 minutes of choosing my colours.

i guess i went on a date on friday, it wasn't formal or anything, though i reckon i've gotta do that soon. that'd be cute, and i haven't bought flowers in a while. the restaurant is my favourite setting. wish there was such thing as a falafel pizza though, holy moly... might make one tonight!

i had a great weekend. i met lots of awesome people and smiled lots. i guess i was a bit quiet at times, but i was taking this whole new life in. everything is open and inviting, yet still private and personal between two people. i like things that are everything. they can do no wrong.
philosophically that seems oxymoronic, i suppose i should say that they do the least wrong. Still, what I'm trying to say is that despite sucking at seeming alive to the majority of the world, I am very content with my life.

everyone suddenly got twitter. alright.

Outkast know how to write trumpet riffs.... so so good. bowtie audio on youtube (beginning riff, and riff after the mid8 at 2:10. syncopation + trumpets - ska = yes.) Check it, just for the melody? Screw 'Hey Ya' (and the whole of the love below really. sorry andre.), get Speakerboxxx and Aquemini.
Aquemini features in a blog I've been writing for an annoying amount of days about the 'top' (ie the first ten i think of) 10 albums that changed my life or a part of my life.
I'd pay a ridiculous amount of money to see Outkast play live, with a setlist of my choosing (and full band of course).
So much more than dem Michael Jackson tickets which I'm considering..?
On that subject - getting some Brand Nizzle ticks soon. I really really really really really really am excited for that. I know that gig will be insanely good because I reckon I can get all my 'Brand New' loving friends together and we can sing/shout every word. *presses hype button*

My mum just passed me a sealed letter, brown paper. Westminster accepted me for an interview! I'm up for this. Despite on it having a mainly crappy reputation, I am set on there - I've visited it lots last year, stayed in halls once, ate at the canteen, and been through the whole interview procedure with a friend, and enjoyed it. It's in a great location. Lots of different people there. My tutor says it has a good employment rate, and he gets his staff from there mostly. I will get to work with people doing art, photography, and other things i also have an interest in. And best of all, I get to carry on with life mainly as normal - it's not too far from home, close enough to my girl, and i'm sure this means lots of fun projects and events in London, lots of 4 day weekends in the country or in the city, and lots more super 8! Everything looks bright and positive, well chuffed. It seems like I get to do what I love, and coincidentally get an honours degree in it! Unless I'm all the rage in the film world (i doubt this), I totally want to do an MA in cinematography at NFTS. Amazing place where the best of the best go! Stay in education as long as possible, you know the way it is. By the time I graduate, I expect I will be too old to buy a young persons railcard. ie. not a young person... woah.

So here's to the future, and it being way better than we all think, because that's totally what it will be for everyone.
Everyone's just got to try, and stick by their positive decisions, carrying everything through. :) Even when things are tough, try to keep smiles on, and you get smiles back. Then your smile of positivity becomes a smile of hope, and you know things will be okay eventually. Years later, they are, because you decided to try that one time. This is what people are living, how people live, and ultimately why people live.
Cheers.
