I have decided

With creative input from the legendary Owen Crane (role model and inspiration to I), I have decided I am no longer going to use this blog to communicate the tripe that consumes my day-to-day life. By that (and what Owen was trying to say) I mean, this blog will be of more depth and subjects that are more likely to provoke thought and intrege you the reader/vewer.

Consistantly look forward to tomorrow!

Running In Heels



A new love of mine. I don't watch it religiously, I'll be honest, I don't even know when it comes on TV, but nevertheless, I quite love this show (deliberate incorrect grammar). You can only consider it pure joy, a straight person watching some sort of fashion television.
It's amazing how these reality TV shows bring out the b**** in people. This program (like the advert says) is about 3 interns hoping to work for Marie Claire magazine. Each week, these interns are set challenges regarding the magazine. It's pretty much like the movie Devil Wears Prada. The difference is, the interns of running in heeels get the chance to design a page in the magazine, attend photoshoots and catwalks, meet designers etc. They also get set basic challenges like putting up rails which as simple as it sounds, they struggle to do. The shows magnifies the fast life of what it takes to produce a fashion magazine.
I could go on but alls I'm gonna say is...watch it....
(p.s. Talita is hot)

OverRated and Better-Get-Rated!

Susan Boyle


If you didn't see her on BGT then here is the video

Okay...I was late with this one, my sister told me bout this and I watched this on youtube. I was told that she was some hugly wumann (purposely spelt like that) who wowed the judges with her unexpected voice on Britains Got Talent. So with this in mind, I watched the video, and she was exactly what I expect. She was a 6/10 singer for about 10 seconds, and then after that...BORING! I'd heared enough. Since watching this video on friday. I've seen her everywhere. All over the news and youtube and facebook. Okay, so she wasn't what we expected. I don't know if you noticed but a girl in the audience pulled a face when Susan mentioned she wanted to be a pro singer. Her face maybe doesn't didn't match her voice, but she is still overrated. I heard somewhere that she's never been kissed...well, her actions speak for themselves but who are we to judge...dont get me started...maybe I'll rant about that another day.

Anyhoooo.

If you haven't seen this kid yet...here is the video

Okay, so this kid is like...12 or suttin. He begins by singing a popular song which did no justice for his voice and made him sound average, not displaying his full potential. Simon stop him (which makes me think it was setup in some way...like...perhaps he's not your average joe 12 year old with an exeedingly above average voice and perhaps he's a midget 25 year old who's been trained all his life by Simon's "people"), and tell's him to sing a better song (as you saw). Then the kid blows everyone away in the audience and in my opinion, blows Susan Boyle out the water. I just hope this kid hits the headlines like Susan. This kid isn't as old and he's better. If he sticks at, get's around the right people, doesn't just sing ballads, doesn't sing michael jackson all the time, doesn't compare himself to michael, makes himself diverse....he'll go far!

A Personal Note!!

It's rare I do this but I thought I would. It's my blog and I can do what I want.
You may me thinking, what's this got to do with being inspired. Well, after reading the sense-b-and-sensibility blog, I decided I would do this.

This personal note is to basically say...erm...well...I think I'm gonna do more personal notes. I think it keeps you in touch with the writer of this blog...MOI!!! Somewhat like the "reflect" post that I did...remember that? If not...go check it out.
I've had some good feedback from that and some good feedback in general.

Anyhooo...spread the hype people, subscribe, read regularly...take care!

Peace!

Zion I - Geek To The Beat

Kanye was right....this vid is dope

Hustler's Anthem - Busta Rhymez ft T-Pain

I love how Busta took this video back to the "Woo Ha" days!


Derek Kettela

I always feel the need to explain myself and justify the reason I've posted pictures of half naked females on my blog....so here is my excuse:


"Fashion Photography...at it's best"










Observatory building



Hmmm...what is it about this Observatory building in Athens, Greece??? Something about it just "stands out" to me.

Well done Theofanis Bobotis Architects

Spring Lake house by James D. LaRue

I told myself I would never post houses again because I was seeing soooo many nice houses but...THIS....is inspiring. I really don't see how a person who lives here could possibly run out of creative ideas. I dont think writers block is a possibility in this house. However, the words "Dont judge a book by it's cover" spring to mind. I think James D. LaRue should have worked with an interior designer on this Austin, Texas contemporary mansion.
I still take my hat off James.













Teeshirt Sketchbook

After dabbling in fashion design, I understand how helpful this sketchbook would be. Defo not useless, defo convenient.
I dont actually know who invented this but thanx anyway!

REFLECT

If I was to define reflect in my own words, plain and simply it would be "self review". All through life we review (consciously and subliminaly) other people and their work or life.
It's good to reflect on ourselves. Refecting is to use the present to analyse the past in order to determin our future. It's funny cos I'm actually in the bath as I write this, Rev Run (Runs house) style.
Taking a personal approach I still hope you can gain something from this.
Me personally, I find that life is all about taking things to the next level. Like a console game, some levels are longer than others. People think that starting again is going back to square one, back to level one but I think Thats impossible because life is a constant process of going forward. As I reflect on my life in order to go to the next level, I try to find words in order to get there, words that kinda sum up the process. Those words are "motivation" "organisation" and "inspiration", and a part of me feels like inspiration is going to be there for a while, perhaps for every level.

MOTIVATION
Isn't it funny how we never associate this word with fun, or pleasure, or chillax. It's always tied with work, or graft, or job. Motivation (in my own words) is the renewing of your mind in order to act towards achieving a goal or task. Anyone who is a friend of mine on facebook will know that this is something I struggle with. There are just something I just hate doing but NEED to do. In order to gain motivation, what I think I need is...
ORGANISATION
Organisation benefits everyone. With organisation we eliminate bad habits and things the hold us back from achieving goal, such as T.V, or facebook or even socializing with friends.
Last Christmas my sister blessed me so much by getting me a thick paperchase day-per-page diary for 09. This helped me so much and already I'm noticing instant progress. But in order to go to the next level, I feel that I need to organize my diary even deeper. I'm currently only writing down main events but I think I need to organize each and every day making room for eveything (obviously making spongebob the anchor point....JOKE!!).

INSPIRE
Inspiration is also a good motivation point, hense the reason I created this blog (can't believe I know how to correctly use the word hense...I'm still not sorry for being such a geek).
I'm constantly looking for things that inspire and motivate me and I tend to add them to my blog. I find things that break my heart aswell as things that make my heart race.

Bringing things to a close, I realise that my reflection is lack of all of the above. In order to get to a higher level, I need to get deeper in organisation, inspiration which will lead to motivation.
