in a new york minute...

well well well, look what we have here: Me.

i realised today that i am starting to get sick of this whole work thing this summer. Now, before you judge me and say 'pah, typical student, never wants to work... what a lazy ass, get your lazy ass a job.. jeez, that guy is such a lazy ass.', I don't mean that i dont want to work, nor that i don't like the idea of working. I'm just beginning to get a bit sick of my schedule: work (unpaid), work (paid), get bored, sleep - repeat daily. Furthermore to your judgements, which i know you are passing despite my best efforts, i know i can throw in some fun activities here and there, but the point i am appraching is that this doesnt change the fact that most of my friends don't live i the same city as me. I'm at the brink of declaring that... maybe... holiday times suck.

I enjoy my unpaid work.. i dont particularly enjoy my paid work but, hey, it pays my bills. If only my unpaid work paid me.. that would make the whooole situation better. I cant apply too much time to unpaid work as paid work pays very little, as a result lots of my spare time is spent trying to make ends meet at the moment. This neatly brings me onto my next area of potential interest: in a weeks time i am going to Wales for a 2 week break from all work based.. well.. work. Here I will be attending the Greenman Festival, its going to be ace, hailed as the most beardy festival around. Which is good for me because i love beards. this winter i will be growing a winter beard with alex and we will (most probabaly) look like hobos, i cant wait.

I still have a couple of things to write about, but i sure hope i'm not boring you. First, I cant afford to buy a video camera, and my existing one has had it. So the plan is to use my digital camera to film some short films. I dont yet know the subjects (both ideas and people) but i think i will start with using figurines to make cheap, affordable, comedy.

Finally, I REALLY want and sort of need a Mac mini. a scaled down, inexpensive (comparably) mac. I think I am going to have to wait until around christmas until i can get that unless i manage to sell my beloved Leonard. That's right, i am pimping out my grandad to old women who still have the horn, a resource that, until recently (i.e me), has been untapped. This, of course, is a lie. Leonard is my van. I am not one to advertise in blog format - 'adverblogmat' - but i will write this once.

IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO BUY A TOYOTA HIACE POWER VAN FOR £2500 ono. THEN HIT ME UP ASAP.

this will give me the money i need and also relieve my responsibility of owning and rarely using my van, buy a mac mini, put aside for a small car when i need one, solve all of my problems simultaneously.

Which brings me to a timely, and probably much anticipated, end.

You read it, you can't unread it, TALES OF INTEREST.
