741 days later..

Haven't written here for a while! Not entirely sure what I'm going to write but I do know I need a creative outlet again so i'll bash it around here.

My life now.
No Hannah (ex girlfriend), new girlfriend for a few months - quite messy...over now. No more uni - have to get to work and pay to live instead :-(
That'll do..


New Goals:
- Sort out a decent, paying career. I'm struggling with the current economic climate but I'm sure I'll be able to sort something out eventually.

- Find a new place to live

- Put myself in the position of buying a property

and although its not an active goal, the constant (never ending?) search for a girlfriend.


Girls are messy creatures and although sometimes it seems they go out of their way to get one over on you, I refuse to believe it. I've had some bad run ins in my time but I obviously don't believe they're ALL rubbish otherwise I wouldn't keep looking.


SO...

Because I am no longer in a relationship it has provided me with time to explore creative potentials. I am spending my evenings learning new techniques and I have started sketching again. The sketches I am trying now are pin up girls. I have used imaged from various websites and tried to recreate them using a scratchy, graphic pen effect. I am relatively happy with the results but know that very soon I will have to start exploring my own designs and starting with an entirely blank canvas.

Recently I have been reading other peoples blogs and I have found a couple that I believe are absolutely fantastic. I'll share them with you:




The boat builder blog I found just through general searching, its a great read! You see the development of human ability through learning and it favours my life long love of the marine industry.

The other two are a couple of guys I'm following on twitter. @DavieLegend has recently written an incredibly heart tugging piece about one of his friends proposing, it really gets you! Be prepared! haha

@diaryofaledger has been a continuous one that is a top favourite read for me. He is in fact the inspiration for me to get back on here!

I often wonder when reading/writing blogs, "where's this going?". I have no pre-determined idea for my writing and I'm not sure other bloggers do either. It's about venting and have a creative thunderstorm on your keyboard I guess.
I'm not sure anybody reads what I'm writing on here, facebook, twitter, etc but I'm not sure if that matters. I occasionally like to think I'm educating people somehow by posting something beautiful or stuffed with facts.
So blogging, a great idea. I have come across some really rubbish blogs and have taken note of how to NOT be boring for anybody who might want to read so I guess its about time I tried to add interest to my blog somehow, sugeestions are welcome. I'm going to go and have a think now.

Also, just so you know. I barely proof read what I've written so I apologise for any spelling, grammar mishaps throughout x
