Do You Want To Take This Outside?

Do You Want To Take This Outside? #COVID #Lockdown #BoJo #BorisJohnson #Culture #Alcohol #Restrictions

Boris is undoubtedly a twonk.  My stance on the current Prime Minister of the UK is not outrageously rebellious, nor is it against the common consensus. He deliberately styles his hair like a man-child that has just slept fourteen hours straight on a futon. His manner of speaking makes you want to shove a kazoo in his mouth just to momentarily relieve your ears of his vain babbling. And any…

Laws, directives, and obligations.

On any site you find now (on this one, most definitely) there will be a little box asking about your flavour preferences for those delightful bakery products, cookies. No, not the chocolate chip kind. This is the one where the European internet had some laws, directives, and other such obligations set into some stone tablets that made it so website owners had…

An Unexpected Superhero

Disney creates a superhero from a myth

Chinese suspension work has been a major part of their martial arts cinema for decades. It creates a fantastical element in line with superb choreography. But in one of the first sequences of 2020’s live action adaption of Mulan, it transports us away from a tale of hope and female empowerment into an unrealistic blockbuster of quite unbelievable…

Tenet: Trailer Confidentiality

Will Tenet be the saviour of cinema after Covid-19? What does the final trailer tell us? #Tenet #ChristopherNolan #Cinema #Film #Trailer #Covid19

Tenet: The Saviour of Cinema

Too much?

I don’t think so. I read an article that basically came to this conclusion. In fact, they claimed that Epic director Christopher Nolan (Batman trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, etc.) was most likely the litmus test for whether cinema has any hope to survive in the post Covid-19 world.

Days When You Just Can't.

This isn't going to be a nice post.

Bad Habits and Bad Times

This isn’t going to be a nice post. I just need to vent about a few days where my brain, my body, and my emotions have just slunk to the side. This has led to the self-explanatory feeling of having days when you just can’t.

The 'Rona Diaries

The ‘Rona Diaries

The Sloth Cycle

Hard to believe that I went into lockdown in March. It is a hell of a long time ago. Jobless, mostly lazy, and habitually overeating were the perfect storm. I put on weight. I’ve always been overweight since entering my teens; vegetables weren’t my thing, I was generally fussy and so processed frozen food raised me.

Oh if I had the balls to weigh myself in March!

I heard about…

Countries: A Review That time when... My father tells me that I have travelled and seen more countries than most.

Things I Learnt Donating Blood

Things I Learnt Donating Blood #Blood #Donations #UK #Charity #Experience #Donate

Thing 1:

In the UK a lot of caucasian people donate blood. The majority actually. Now you can say that the UK is a caucasian majority union of countries, but the way the nurse came in to see my ethnicity identification code–F, White & Asian–then you would have thought it was her birthday and I brought cake into the donation centre.

Get Argumentative

Get Argumentative #Clickbait #Social #Lazy #Blogging #Blog #Funny #Comment #Effort #Reply

Trouble with connecting?

Blogging is therapeutic they say. It’s like an open journal to the world, a place where you can express yourself and find like-minded people. But it can get competitive when you’re faced with stats and visitor clicks. You want more, you suddenly want to make an impression and get noticed. (more…)

Sonic the Hedgehog: Assumptions and Expectations

Sonic the Hedgehog: Assumptions and Expectations #Sonic #Trending #Games #Sega #Hedgehog #Kids #Trailer

“SEYY-GAH”

Sonic was one of the best 2d scrolling games that helped blast games consoles into every household with a disposable income; it was comparable to Super Mario back in the day. It’s fast-paced action and catchy soundtrack really set it apart from some of the slower games out there. Its appeal was universal and its colourful heroes became known throughout the gaming world. Now… not so…

Don’t you hate it when…

Meeting people is always hard, you try to make random conversation with knowing absolutely nothing about the other person and their interests. Not to mention whether you have issues remembering their names or mistaking their names for close alternatives. But if you are good at this particular game, then you might come across one of those people who beg you to guess their…

Summer's Here

Summer's Here #Beach #Party #Dread #BeachBody #Sun

The dread.

A lot of people love summer, BUT due to obligations I think a fair percentage despise it too: the self-conscious feeling you get when making plans in the summer sun, the growing stench in the office, the rise in malicious optimism of those basking up those great drinking hours as you serve them, (more…)

Don't Let Embarassment Hold You Back

Don't Let Embarassment Hold You Back #DoWhatYouLove #Shy #Embarassment #Embarassed #Funny #Life #Choices

A pub, the beach, das cinema.

Regret is a powerful feeling–wait, let’s not get too deep into this subject, I just wanna skim the surface.

Anyway, too often we dissuade ourselves to do the things we REALLY want to do, and all because not everyone is into, or able to do the same things at the same time as we would like. That should stop. (more…)

YouTube Is A Tool

YouTube Is A Tool #YouTube #Artisan #Creators #Content #Channel #Media #Tool #Traditional #Career

The video sharing site is a massive tool!

Depending on whether you have met me, known me through my waffling writing, or can read through the context of my opinions, you may believe that the title and header is actually an insult. It isn’t. I am being completely honest.

That is to say that SOME people may call Google-owned YouTube a tool in a most derogatory way, what with the cuts to ad-revenue,…

Older and wiser.

Puberty hit you like a train, didn’t it? Not just physically (No need to check what you’re packing) but mentally too. That hairstyle you had hasn’t aged well and if you look back over your old school notebooks now that you’re older and wiser, then you will be shocked at how inarticulate you once were. I mean look at that scribbly hand-writing, how were you even able to revise for…

Whoa, Back Up There

Whoa, Back Up There

I schedule this as more of a reminder.

I used to have another site/blog, and I was kind of proud of it. I invested a good amount of time into it and I let myself become complacent, I thought that my site was too small fish for it to be targeted. Oh boy was I wrong. Somehow, someone had Trojan-Horsed their way into its code and impregnated my beautiful creation with a link virus that took any…
