Three years ago, today

February 10, 2020Posted inBooks, Reflections, The MissionNo Comments
Or yesterday, I forget. Whichever day it was, three years ago I was going to kill myself. I've come a long way, baby. Far enough? Not yet. We still have a ways to go. But still, considering the progress that I have made, it's unreal. Compare the person I was back then to the person I am now and I…

We all thrive on stories

We all thrive on stories.We grow up on them, we tell ourselves them, we communicate with them, we shape our lives with them. Stories make the world go around, and stories are nothing without characters. So, a question:Who are the top 5 characters that shaped who you are now?— Jordan Casstles (@MrCasstles) August 11, 2018 Now, how could I resist…

n00b gainz

May 25, 2018Posted inBooks, Physicality, Reflections, The MissionNo Comments
Exercising is fun, and as the title suggests, I've made some n00b gainz. My trousers are looser, so I've clearly lost some belly fat. My weight has remained the same however, so I have built some muscle. I do feel like I need to go more than once a week to cement these gainz in the long run though. And…

That didn’t feel like a war

January 30, 2015Posted inBooks, InternetNo Comments
So, I recently decided to start reading comics again, maybe get one of the omnibus-style publications every month so as to not go too crazy - and for whatever reason, I started with the Civil War trade-paperback. I got home and read it from cover to cover in one sitting and to be quite honest I was quite disappointed. I…

Bi-yearly update 2014

June 26, 2014Posted inBooks, Creativity, Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Hey, this is going to be an epic update, a half-year special so to speak. I’m going to go back and take a look at the targets I made at the start of the year and see how I’m doing with them.

With regards to the Fitness Targets – I’ve done nothing. I don’t know why. Can I not be bothered? Or do I feel like I should be doing something else? I think I feel like I should be drawing or recording videogame footage, but then, I don’t really spend enough time doing those things either, so I have no idea. I reckon I should draw up a timetable, allocate my time. It would illustrate that I have more time than I think I have. But then again, now I’ve said that I’ll put off drawing it up and won’t change until I’ve drawn it up. And a plan like that is ridiculous to think about now seeing as something that I never imagined would happen at the start of the year is happening…

When you think about things in ways you never expected…

…because you did something stupid.

I feel like I may need to elaborate a little more on what I wrote yesterday – it was a little obtuse. It’s all very well me saying that I don’t want to do this or do want to do that, but if I don’t act on it then things will never change. The only person who can change me is me. The only person who truly gets value from a motivational quote is someone who understands it and acts on it. My viewpoints on a lot of things have changed – some recently, some a long time ago. I drew a couple of Adventure Time sketches the other day. I used to have a hang-up about fan-art, in that if it didn’t look exactly as the original creator or an authorised, in-house artist had drawn it, then it was “bad”. Like a lot of other childish viewpoints I used to hold, this has slowly evaporated over time, and I have come to realise the importance of an artist translating characters into their own unique visual style.

Does Asda stock ImagineFX?

Some Asdas do, but most don't. I would say you're better off trying WHSmiths. Chances are, if you have an Asda near you then you also have a WHSmiths near you too. (This was in response to one of our more popular search queries: Does Asda stock ImagineFX?)
