contemplate this...


Well a month gone here in the new apartment, and yes that excitement remains, still fresh and fun! Settled in more, but that feeling when your working day is over and knowing your coming home to your own gaff where your best mate awaits with some fun filled stories of how stupid conor can be or how muddy he can get on the cycle in! Its all these little things that give me smiles!
Were just about to finally finish off the living room slash art gallery exhibition! The house warming is this saturday and were working like crazy to get our pictures up and the place looking just right! Give it that final Funk and Hutch esc vibe!
We have christened our hallway, its now agro hall! you'll see when you get here why!
Iv jut finished another job, another one in the bag you might say! Finished a jon which i started back in july, which had to stop shooting cause the lead actor hurt her shoulder... so we finally made it back to finish it! It being et in the summer, we got VERY lucky with the weather, only a week earler and it looked like serbia out there!
So here i am waiting again for the next one to surface, the phone to ring again... Im not worried, i know it will as there are a lot of things starting.. its just a matter of getting on the right one, the most fun! Otherwise whats the point if you dont enjoy it!?

Going to Newcastle on Tuesday with all the lads, 22 people apparently going... oh dear god its gonna be messy... lets see how that goes! What kinda casualties we will have! hopefully none...

What other news is there? cant think of any at the moment, just looking forward to saturday, hopefully it goes well.. shud do!

Be back with some war stories shortly...

yyaaaayyyaaaaaaa!!

Keys, hangovers, trees and ghosts....


Ghosts scare me... Thanks to Ger i cant even concentrate on this blog because I'm nearly positive there is something about to burst out of my closet and eat my legs off...

But, I'm gonna try forget about the leg hungry ghost in my closet for a few minutes while i tell you my stories!
Today, i was rudely awoken... awakened... woked... how do you say that? anyway... by Ger calling me, but thankfully so, because i wasn't about to wake up for another good 5 hours with the hangover i had. The call was regarding my trip into town to collect Ger and get the keys to.... wait for it.... the new APARTMENT!!! oh yes!
After a short banger filled trip in my motor we arrived at the our new place, signed all sorts of crazy forms which i tried and failed to read... probably sold my soul or something... not too sure, all i know is that i got a set of keys out of it. So that has to be good! And that's it! The start of great things.. gonna be a great year!

So i went for a drive yesterday... i think it was yesterday anyway! Headed up the mountains with the camera. Didn't really get any good shots though, still trying to get my head around the new camera, but its all good. I met a really nice wind battered tree (I know, lots of tree stories of late floating around, spooky) This tree really made me think. I looked up and probably stayed looking at it for around 10 straight minutes, kinda hypnotic. The life of a tree... must be lonely. But i guess theres an upside to everything...

So 2009 eh... how very very fast time goes by. 25 in a few days too, that's quite odd.
Ah whats age when you think about it, its only man made..

I'm gonna go see if this leg hungry ghost will settle for a cup of tea instead..

Dreams are nice, gonna go have one.

Reach!



Im here! on this little piece of dust in a big wide verse... not very optimistic sounding, but... it is... think about it! Your on a little rock, amongst other little rocks.. in a vast, vast, vast reaching plain! Im not sure if that is scary or not? But why challenge the thought, why not embrace it? Reach out and grab hold of the thought, look right at it... take it in for a second... How amazing does it make you feel when you accept it? Why us? Why were we given this chance on a wonderful planet like this? Why you, why me?

.....Find out? or do what You can to....

So why not make every second count? Its easier said then done...

But live for the moments.

I have lived quite happily, not much to complain about! Not much to worry about, lots of friends, lots of wonderful wonderful people in my life. Ive got a roof over my shoulders, ive got a loving family! Be it that there scattered all over the world and not nearly as conventional as your every day family! But their there, one way or another! They have my back.

And for that I am................probably not grateful enough! but, who really is? I dont think many people, including myself, really are grateful enough! But im not downing myself, or you! I think im just being honest.

Well this is it... I am going to start being grateful for everything.. im not saying im turning a new leaf! Im not a born again christian, i haven't recently found god. But i have come to a time in my life where i can look back and say thank you so much.. to everyone who has been there and made my life what it is. People who were cruel to me, who were kind to me, who broke my heart, who mended my heart, who cried on me, who cried for me, who cared for me, who didn't care for me....and sorry to people who i have hurt, who i was cruel to, who's heart i broke. All these people have made me who i am. It fascinates when you look back and think of all the little things that happen to you, just to let you have a wonderful memory, or a bad one!

Getting on the bus late... let me meet the girl of my dreams. not really, but maybe it will happen, maybe i missed that bus already. But i am of the belief that what is meant to be is meant to be. As long as you at least put some effort in ye know? cant just sit around on a laptop all day! HA ;)



Ramble ramble ramble... wow this blog has really turned into more of an eye opener for me, thoughts are flooding into my head, that have been in there for a while, but to write them down is different, it means that there out there now, written... or typed! (this digital world). Thoughts that are in my head, need to come out, and here they are. So many more, but all in good time!

But for now, for me. Its time to grab hold.

I have had a very interesting few years recently, very life changing, mostly for the better im happy to say.

Travelled a year, met some amazing people. created friendships that were just dying to be created! iv found friends that have been there all my life, but i just hadn't met them yet!

There all out there now, being their lovely selves! Or staying up real late.... Ger, And i dont need to tell you, I love the very skin that sheathes you! I cant wait to start this new chapter in my life, act 3 im gonna call it for now! Its going to be amazing, i want to unleash the person i have become, and create wondrous new scenes and create magical moments.



Laugh, Cry, Smile, Kiss, Look, Run, Family, Friend, Create, Embrace...


Don't be scared
