I find myself returning to my all too common problem of over-ambitiousness. As usual my mind is veering off at every angle, I find myself wanting to do what i used to do, I miss scriptwriting, filming and acting. I miss creating artwork, writing and I want to make obscure conceptual short films, I want to make music and start writing songs again. Of course it is unfortunate that now i have to inspiration to do this i am now lacking the time to do so. I have now begun the final project of my current degree which is an exciting one, so my brain is currently both hyperactive and comatose with ideas and badly placed chemicals.

A Hidden Double Standard?
Ive been having a conversation with someone on the Internet who made a statement that i felt i just had to challenge. I'm not one of those people who can let something pass by if it causes a little red light in my head.
The man said; 'Why do some of you guys make so much about being gay? For Christ's sake, stop flying a banner about your sexuality, and get on with living your lives.'
Now i know what he means, however i also know that he has no idea what the fuck he is talking about. I am lucky enough not to know many people that have such volatile reactions to things like sexuality, I by no means wish to address all of the issues relating to this, because it would take forever. I would though like to address the statement which this man made.
I replied with; 'Well think of it this way; If you look at a straight man and how much his sexuality influences his life, you will find that is is pretty much 100%, its not really any different if you are gay, it affects your life 100% so there shouldn't be any reason to hide it any more than straight men hide their sexuality.'
I stand by this completely, I don't feel it needs any more explanation, it is simple enough. Is it that this man in particular feels uncomfortable with such things? if so then that is his issue and not for other people to bend around.

No Rest For The Wicked
Twenty Ten, it's here!
Even though we are only about two weeks into the new year, I have been spending the vast majority of my time on a depressingly large amount of work that seems to embody one of those meals that you sometimes get in a restaurant, the one where you keep eating and eating but never seem to make any difference to the amount on the plate. I currently have a nice collection of portfolio work, exam revision, a very large essay and I also must begin to think about applying for next years work placement. This whole bundle of fun needs to be wrapped up neatly in the next two weeks, lucky me.
A brilliant dead load to start the year with, but luckily i know i can do it, i just enjoy complaining about it.
