Friday update 8/8/14

I'm a bit later than usual today due to visiting my Mum, David, Jasmine and Otis in Southampton today. Had a great time on the way over brainstorming various things including: content for my personal YouTube channel, how to work the Twitter machine, and if I can somehow combine them all with the posts here to pretty much automate the…

Cats

I am currently watching loads of "Cats" videos on YouTube. Not videos of cats, you understand, but videos of the musical production Cats. Why? Because I'm doing a canvas for my little niece who is obsessed with Cats. I'm trying to get a feel for this Mr. Mistoffelees dude's attitude and mannerisms, work out his signature pose. So far all…

600th post spectacular – Questions galore

Ok, so the numbers say that this will be post number 600. I feel like I want to do something special for it, and after having a little think, I remembered that I’m currently reading a book on my Nexus called “Be creative” by Infinite Ideas – it was free and has so far given me a few decent tips. In one chapter it had a list of questions you should ask of yourself in order to understand yourself, because how often do you actually stop and question things?

So, here we are with the questions and answers. I endeavoured to be as brutally honest as I could be and I gave each question a lot of thought. I ended up spraying my thought process on to the page as I was typing, and I did repeat myself a little, so be warned!

WARNING!!! VERY LONG POST!!!

This post is going to have the most tags ever.

Level Up!

Level Up!

34. As is tradition - I must say that I don't feel a day older than 25. Jane got me some smelly stuff, a cool Tetris mug that reveals a pattern when hot water is inserted, and a larger memory card for my mp3 player. The James'ses got me a WHSmiths voucher, and Colin and Myrtle got me a lovely…

Nice couple of days

Seeing as Jane and I were going out for a meal with her work-mates in Southampton last night, I thought I'd go over earlier in the day and see my family. Met David and Otis at the Mayflower, then went on to the hospital and had lunch with Mum, gave her some belated birthday presents and just generally had a…
