Finally found it

I feel so good right now, I finally found an old music video that I was almost convinced didn't actually exist. It was only that David remembered it as well that I knew it wasn't a figment of my imagination. I remembered it was on MTV, or The Box, and it featured a bunch of soldiers in gas masks shooting…

Friday update 2/5/14

We went and had our twenty week scan on Monday - baby Flipper doing fine. Two arms, two hands, two feet, four heart chambers, two kidneys, one brain, one spine, and two very long legs. We knew they'd be tall, but for the lady doing the scan to stop doing the scan and say "Wow, long long legs" is probably…

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.

Happy 25th Gameboy-day!

So, the GameBoy is 25 years old today, what a way to make me feel old. I remember when I got my first Gameboy - although I can't pinpoint the exact dates, I roughly know the period. I had left school, and finished college, it must have been between me working at House of Toys in Debenhams and going back…

When you do something stupid…

...and it makes you think about everything in ways you never expected. I mean, we're all here, on this planet, to do what exactly? Procreate? I guess. Now don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to becoming a parent in September, how could I not be, but this world we have created for ourselves often reveals itself as a…

Friday update 18/4/14

Jees, we're over halfway through April already! Only two videos on the YouTube channel this week, one Dark Souls, one Halo World Tour. RGF is TimeSwap, a platform game in which you can swap time. I don't really have much to say this week, it's been a bit of a downer to be honest. Asda has been physically demanding over…

Jane is well, Flipper is well, he/she is the size of a mango now, incredible. Apparently they are going to grow a lot over the next couple of weeks, so that's cool. Might give Jane a milk protein shake, think of all those lovely new person building materials! I managed to squeeze in an entire play-through of Rez HD on…
