An Open Letter to the Flatmates...

"Dear All...

I know you've left me, and I know why, its because you hate me isn't it? I know I'm really hard to get along with and my incessant need for company really does drain you all. But just know that I don't blame you for leaving me. It had to happen sometime."


Well that was creepy and sad and everything all rolled into one there. And don't worry I don't feel that way at all. Here's what a real letter to you all would sound like:


"Dear All...

We've had our ups and our downs. Hell, its been three years for most of us and that's a long time to live in such close proximity to anyone. We've enjoyed our time from jiggly jiggly dancing (Hi Wodge), to Eskimo Kisses (Hi Cherrybelly), to rampant, and sometimes not dry, gay, manloving, humping in the corridor (Hi Tag and Pill). So basically all I would want to say at this juncture is Good Luck, and Carry On - Lie Back and think of England - Keep up Appearances.

Toodle-pip, tallyhoe, and what what
Your lovable friend,
Big Tom"


There we are, that's not as creepy, sad or pathetic by our standards is it?

But that's me, until next time bloggers...

Nick-nack Paddywack...

Hello everyone...

It's been a short while hasn't it? Well I'm a part of the Ffrinj next week and I haven't written anything. Worrying indeed.

Not even that but I've got to write the Carmarthen Zombies with my friends, I have a couple of writing competitions to enter, I still don't know whether I'm Cardiff's International Poet of the Year, I've got my own writing to focus on, I want to learn a bit of Italian before I leave, and I've got to start work on looking like Vin Diesel.

Man I'm busy, or at least I should be. But instead I'm more interested in helping my friends make and play this Dragon Age D&D game.

Meh, you never know. I might get around to doing some of this work. Who knows.

Oh, and I've been watching lots of Bones recently, hence the title.

But that's me, until next time bloggers...

The Pangs of Life...

As you know the University Experience is over and as such everyone is moving out.

This an unfortunately sad occasion therefore and everyone is kind of on edge and doesn't know how to move on. Others are just leaving, ripping off the plaster as it were.

I, however, am lingering on to the very last.

I remember why I liked my degree and why I worked at it and got distracted in all the geeky things I do - I liked it and those geeky things because it all made me forget about how sorry my life actually is.

Damn it, I hate feeling sorry for myself especially when I know I shouldn't be. There are people who are far worse off than I but this still happens. When I don't have anything to do I always realise how alone in the world I actually am. And not only that but the person I actually do fancy/admire/love doesn't seem too bothered in me. That makes me feel great.

Pill thinks I should tell her the reasons behind me not saying 'Yes' to her last summer, but I don't want the relationship, if one emerges, to begin on a bed of excuses. Man oh man I'm love-sick and I just don't want to continue saying any of this but I've got to vent somehow!

I just don't want to hurt anymore.

I just hope with all this pain and anguish that I can write some bloody good poetry.

But that's me, until next time bloggers...

And So It Ends...

Well that was that. University in all its wondrous and life making brilliance...

I promise I won't summaries anything. But these past 2 weeks I've never been so exhausted, and all I was doing was writing and presenting presentations.

The iEvolve Conference went extremely well thank you very much. I got many a laugh and an email afterwards from one of my lecturers asking for an image I used.

FYI it was this one:

I thought that'd make you chuckle. All around its been a good time. We just don't know what to do with ourselves now. There's no structure to our lives, the widening gyre, the falcon cannot hear the falconer. Man I love that poem. Things fall apart.

So everything is all well in the world, apart from now its down to Me and a few others to create the backstory to the Carmarthen Zombie Apocalypse (CZA) which is very cool.

I might find out whether I'm Cardiff's International Poet of the Year, I'll be reading something in the Carmarthen Ffrinj this year at the Dylan Thomas Boathouse, and I've got to try and finish my major literary masterpiece. Not much to do with a lot of time on your hands now is there?

Oh and I've got to fit in countless hours of Xbox and Tv.

I also think things with HB Sauce are looking up. I might ask her if she wants to catch a film, see what she says. Wish me luck. Wait, this isn't the end, it's only just the beginning (Ooooh I said it! Hi Tag!)

But that's me, until next time bloggers...

30,307 Words Later...

Well I didn't expect that to be that long, but I hope my Creative Project is finally at an end.

This legendary piece of work was constructed over many hours and days and weeks but its finally done, and I have forged the first step on the staircase to the end of my Degree.

Wow, its really scary if I put it like that.

Oh well, not long to go now. Just 2 weeks and my lifetime of education will come to a close. Really kinda sad thinking about it. Have all my educational choices been good? Will I do well? What does the Future hold? I'd best not answer those questions just yet, and I'm starting to sound like the Paper I'm going to deliver on Wednesday.

Argh!

Why does everything happen at once?

Its a really quite strange thing to think that I'll be moving home soon, and then what...

The Future is a big place...

But that's me, until next time bloggers...

P.S. Check out my new Vlog I've been told to make it a weekly thing so it should be interesting if I keep doing stuff.

284 Days Later...

Well this is going to be a very long film...

So the time is almost here. Yes that's right, its the time at the end of things when I like to summaries everything I managed to do while I was doing the thing. A recap if you will. Only this isn't a recap or a summary - not this blog at any rate.

No I'm here to inform you all, that as of the 24th June I will have my results, and on the 5th July I will be graduating from, I'm not sure where yet, I think they'll change the name at least twice over breakfast tomorrow and a few more times before lunch. Either way its almost been 284 Days since this year has begun and her I type before you now.

If you didn't know I spent the last two weeks of my Easter holiday at home, which is nice and all, but not so good if you've got a degree to finish and you can't do much work because you're doing housework or gardening. And now that I have returned to Carmarthen I find myself unable to start anything due to this two-weeks of worklessness. So hopefully those gears should kick start with an early morning tomorrow, leisurely striding into the day, with casual breaks of video games in between (Hi Tag!).

I may also be in need of a job around August time due to this perfect getaway in southern Italy at the end of July. I need a holiday, I've not been on holiday in 7 Years, and even then I've not flown anywhere - YAY! Anywho, back on the job search, I've been constantly informed by my good friend HB Sauce (she's a very good artist, you should view here gallery here) that there are no jobs for writers of anything in this country, because all the other writers got a head start and have those jobs now. So I'm thinking about detaching myself away from everything I know and love and moving to California where, I'm inform by HB, the only good jobs reside. How would that be? A nice long holiday in a sunny, stormy, earthquake, disaster movie, area?

Meh, I need something new to keep me moving. I hope to God I won't be saying 'Would You like Fries with that?' at the end of the Summer...oh wait I forgot, I'm over qualified for that job now.

Unless of course you guys know of any jobs going?

But that's me, until next time bloggers...

Settling in for the Easter Blizzard...

We now return you to your scheduled programming:

Hi Guys, I've not done this in nearly a week, I thought I ought to fill y'all in. Basically the inspections are over, my re-do 21st Birthday Party is all organised I just need guests now, lectures that were on next week are being canceled due to the fact that Easter begins on Friday, and during the Easter break I not only have my whole party thing, but a lot of work and reading to do.

There you are filled in. Does it feel good? (err, creepy)

I'm going to get a haircut most of you will be pleased to here because at the moment it looks a little something like this -


All Business in the front and party in the back, well not that extreme.

I'm cleaning my notice boards at the moment, they're looking quite barren and bare (like cupboard porn!) So I need to fill them again - any ideas?

Quite a bit of work ahead of me now, but that doesn't mean the blogs wont continue coming. Don't you just love me?!

Also, an apology to Tag and Cherrybelly (Hi Guys!) I sent you a text last night which had the word 'Bastards' in, please change that word to 'Custard' and see if you change your mind - bloody predictive text!

Also, congrats to India on winning the World Cup - I know you made one of my followers happy.

But that's me, until next time bloggers...
