First things first. I am not going to undertake a proposition that university is the be all and end all of victory amongst our species. I recall being at school whereby the teachers imposed that if we were to avert higher education that we would never attain our hearts desires. Since my own path has transpired unimaginable consequences, I oppose this structure. Finishing school without formal qualifications, truth be told, is not as dreadful as one may believe. Sure, we are lectured on mandatory subjects, such as Math, English and Science. Once we are inquired about our elected coursework, the reality of our futures truly begin to flash before our eyes. Most parents and carers encourage their children to seek some form of employment whilst they are undergoing these examinations. Some suggest avoiding this settlement, in consideration of the fact that it may disrupt the progression of ones educational credentials. On the other hand, from personal experience, a few hours during the we...

...You interpret the world abstractly, as if your life were in a movie and you were the protagonist of your own conceptualised reality. ...The Matrix / Inception provided all the  enthusiasm  and passion, necessary to apply for Media in the first place. CGI, SNM. ...You're supposed to be technologically adept but you still heavily rely on walkthroughs on random  internet   forums and wikiHow articles to learn how to do things in programmes such as Photoshop , which you should know by now from all those hours in lectures (!)  ...You spend weeks at a time on  YouTube  consuming volumes of information from Vloggers and other non-credible sources, perchance material for critical analysis, investigating the details that these small productions deliver, such as short films. ...Then when you steal ideas from these videos for your own coursework. ...Your best friends are the coders, designers and philoso...

After a recent progression in my journey of enlightenment, I have reclaimed possession of some of my physical gear. It is truly a debt in my karma and since I have missed two summers of imaginable nights out, nights in, with the girls and guys I became acquainted with through Uni days. Nothing seems to stick with me. The friends I thought I had made quickly disappeared faster than I can smoke a cigarette. This is an example of chaos theory at its finest. Every decision I had made to move from house to house across Nottingham only brought me back to where I began. A house in a nice area with educated people; but does this represent the real essence of me? Since I started Uni, I have been surrounded by people engrossed in their chosen subject, all battling it out in their field to achieve their dream job. They have created a serious change of perspective on my own future, and the chances of me settling with what I want, rather than allowing an unknown fate to decide mine for me. Ene...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLQJVKP3YlM The vote is on the 23rd of June.  This is an edited extract of an assignment I had written from Uni in 2014 on the subject of devolution.  I believe it is more relevant now than it was then, and may be a useful article for people still sitting on the fence. Currently, 11% of the public are still undecided, with the majority leaning towards "Brexit". I hope this passage from my old blog will exercise the minds of young people still confused about this topic... With thousands migrating here every month in hope to welcome a fresh start, a more favourable lifestyle and therefore, achieve happiness, it has aroused disapproval by many UK born citizens. It would seem that an increasing proportion of people here in Britain believe that enough is enough. The controversial mindset that, “jobs are being stolen, state benefits are being reaped, and homes are becoming scarce” has created prejudice and propaganda against Non-UK ...

Hello loyal readers! I have to say, that I am really enjoying keeping this blog. Although that may come across as sarcastic, which is generally a problem when it comes to the weird world of words, especially in techie-land, where you can never be 100% sure how serious the sender of your message is being with out the context and aid of emoticons, what I am writing now may seem like it is slightly rehearsed or even bland. Yet this is far from the truth, I always write off the bat and usually in the company of some decent music (by my books) and my infallible research skills, as I don't like to say anything with out doing my homework first, to avoid humiliation for my inaccurate information later. I also do not condemn the grammar Nazis onslaught of correction, need be it. This morning I woke up, as I usually do (in fact, I don't think I've had a day in my life where I hadn't woken up eventually) and I felt a bit rough, unfortunately, I have been suffering migraines ...
