On a roof

2009-04-21T22:01:00.006+01:00

Today I went onto a roof to film a music video (song being kept a secret for now!)
The Behind the Scenes (BHTS) video is currently being rendered for upload to youtube!

Also I am hoping that this blog will soon be moving.....;) (find out more soon!)

And so dawns the end of the Easter hols....

2009-04-19T19:00:00.002+01:00

This is easter has been really good for me. I have been upto rather alot including going to London, DJing, Driving and more. (the one thing I still havnt managed to do is go roller skating >:(! lol)
Yesterday DJed and it was upstairs :O so that was a bit of a struggle but good bit of exercise.
Today has been really nice and hot which has meant I have caught a bit of a tan :P
Tommorow I have got a day off for teacher training! woop, so I can do lots of revision cramming!
If you read the last post then you will know that I have been testing with some live streaming so Im hoping to set a date to do another one...
I have no socks on so my feet are cold!

Testing of live blog streaming

2009-04-17T17:13:00.002+01:00

Hello! Today at 17:18 I did a LIVE stream from youstream, It looked really good and rather amazing tbh. Thanks to Dan for telling me about it, this one was just a test but it looked really good so I think I may be doing something more with it some time soon with it.

This is a screen shot of how it looked!!

London

2009-04-15T21:50:00.000+01:00

Today I went to London with Dan and Paul, got there about mid day and no suprise straight into the apple store! Its so lovely in there I want a mac so bad!
Had anice lunch in pizza express and saw broadcasting house (radio1)
After paul left us me and dan got a little bit lost sort of! but we made it to the embankment and saw some good and not so good street artists by the thames.
Sat in a pub on the thames and had a pint :P Also walked right upto the gerkin which was huge.
So had a really good day and now its thundering and lightning!

Well...

2009-04-14T18:15:00.002+01:00

Hope you had a good easter I have calmed down from my tramaitc cinema expierence that was 'Knowing!' I would like to thank you for reading the blog and I do appreciate the comments if they are good or bad (not to harsh) thanks to MR ANNONYMOUS for the comment on the blog the other day who left a comment saying that no one wants to read about my sad life, well obviously who ever is reading this does now (so I thank you) but also they were obv reading it so they care too!
So I'm sorry to disappiont you but I am going to continue to write this blog becase I enjoy doing it and I would still like you to start writing one.
Today I did a kids disco which as youd expect from kids was a bit mental!
Off to body combat 2nite and then off to the capital city of London tomorrow with Paul and Dan so London, BEWARE!!!!

Reviewed~ KNOWING

2009-04-12T21:20:00.003+01:00

I have just got back from watching Knowing starring Nicholas Cage and I can say without a doubt it is a bad film, to be honest its rubbish.

The film finished and I turned and said to my brother "what the hell was that!" thats all I could really say on the film.

Dont get me wrong the acting is reasonably good, Nicholas Cage played the part reasonably well. However wooden in places but that is really down to the director.

If you have seen the trailer you have seen the best parts of the film, the problem with the trailer is that it is misleading in the plot and genre of the film.

You are lead to believe the film will be about him trying to crack a code on how to save people from this mysterious prophecy he has got, what is odd he solves it instantly and the film moves onto something else.

The film didn't seem to know what it was doing with its self because of this, it went from one extreme to another and with all different genres! Good opening and the film goes down the line of being a mystery type film with bits of action adventure, this suddenly jumps to horror/ thriller type with some graphic death scenes (people burning to death) then ends with aliens in a spaceship at the end so it turns into a sci-fi! Confused or what!!

Wikipedia says its a sci-fi so why did the trailer and general plot synopsis NOT make this clear??

I don't mean to give the ending away but end of the world killing everyone but the aliens take the children to another planet to start over again.

They were trying to convey some weird kind of religious message maybe...scientology??!

I think Nicholas Cage has made some bad films recently this one, wicker man, next and ghost rider have all been rather guff but this is the cherry on top.

My advice dont go and see this unless you want to watch a rubbish and weird film.

Fun run, chocolate and whos got talent...

2009-04-11T19:03:00.001+01:00

Thats a good title I think, sums it up a bit.
Yesterday was the sudbury fun run, 5 mile run, I completed it in 31:19 which I was pleased with, it was just less than a minute slower than last year. There was quite a turnout in the crowd the only problem was the heat. (Im on my phone atm but will put on some pics when I Gon my pc later)
Yesterday I finally ate chocolate and it was amazing!!!!

At the moment I am watching the easter special of doctor who which at current is averagly good, cant really make a big judgement itsonly half way through. I think they are going to make a huge endingwhen david tennent leaves in 2 specials time...
4traight after who is britains got talent which is the one we wentto see filmed at the appolo a few months back, you never know we may see us in the audience or not lol.
have a good easter!

Looking Back

2009-04-09T16:23:00.002+01:00

After nealry 38 days with no chocolate I thought its a good time to reflect. Now I know many people will look down on me but I will be ending my lent tommorrow (good friday) because I am doing the fun run and without any chocolate goodness I will collapse!
So the first few days are fine and then at the end of the first week you do notice that there is a small emptyness. Still in the 2nd week you get through it by just saying no ive given it up.
Not realising how long it actually is the weeks do drag on. At about week 3 I nearly collapsed in a major slump of depression, mainly, im presuming, due to lack of the sugars chocolate gives.. I got over this with a really nice dinner!
As it gets towards the end it really does start to take a toll on your mind, instead of moving off it you want it sooo much more and the last few days you start to see it more and all you can do is count down the minutes.
So at the end of the fun run tommorow (aprox 10:40) i will be eating a mars bar :P

Gardening

2009-04-08T18:43:00.002+01:00

After a very, very early start (7!!) I had a driving lesson this morning in prepertaion for the ever closer looming test :O!!
And the rest of the day was doing gardening, I'm not a fan of gardening so it felt like a rather long day LOL!
Got a rather exciting day ahead of me tommorrow with a particularly early start (even earlier than today!)
Will tell you more about it tommorow!....

TRAILER- Dont go into the woods

2009-04-07T08:25:00.002+01:00

So yesterday was the first day of the easter holiday and I went to body combat and body max in the morning.
Had a driving lesson and then did a bit of filming for a new film I thought of...
Yes, I am quite keen of filming at the moment so I went for a run round the country park....watch the video to find out why....
(Some viewers take caution it is a horror trailer)

TRAILER- Lillys Big Adventure

2009-04-05T18:16:00.002+01:00

Over the past couple of days I have been working on making a trailer for a film I've called Lillys Big Adventure. I have filmed and directed and my sister and mum have starred in it.
The video is just rendering and once it has rendered I will upload onto YouTube and post it on here :D Please enjoy....

2009-04-02T18:14:00.001+01:00

Head Boy

2009-04-01T18:44:00.002+01:00

Today was 'study day' a day for us 6 form to do any cw that is due in tommorow. Luckily I dont have any subjects with coursework!
Also today was the head boy/girl interviews. I was going for head boy and I felt I had a good interview and found out after all the interviews that i am head boy :D!!! Head girl is my friend staph sims and I have a good deputy, jamie.

So I am very pleased with that result!! Another thing is my fliip mino HD came today, but I want home to sign for it so have to collect it tommorow! The tripod came later in the day so I have a tripod, no camera LOL!

Any ways Im going to the Sudbury 6 form party with Dan tonight, he will be round soon and im not even ready tut tut!

Bye

Walton on the Naize

2009-03-30T18:35:00.003+01:00

Woke up this morning feeling really rather ill, touch of the man flu :(.
So I wasn't exactly prepared for going to Walton on a geography trip. We arrived at school at got on the mini bus and went to Abbots Hall farm and this man gave a really boring tour. He didnt even talk about what we were learning about he was talking about birds,rabbits and the farm!
Went up the walton tower to look out at the eroding cliff which was pretty cool.
The best bit of the day was getting some chips from the chip shop on the way home!!

Tonight I have been doing a bit of school work and also had a little start on my arts award stuff!
Coz Im still a bit bunged up I think Im gonna crash out early and get an early night.

Googled, blog, skisto!

2009-03-29T19:34:00.003+01:00

Well today has been a hell of a day. The last SAGCYFM :( As you know we (dan,lewis,roxy and myself) have been working on a film called googled and the filming has not been going so well. What we have filmed so far is great but there seems to be a problem of where the film is going. Un fortunatly after aprx 6 hrs (2sundays) we still dont seem to have done much of the film. We kind of ground to halt. Im not blaming Roxy, director, but the overall direction needs to come from her. I think what we will have to do is take a week out and try and do all the filming in the hols.
I have had a few thoughts (so if roxy,lewis,dan reads this tell me what you think)
Maybe we need 'James' to have a friend that we can see him socialize with, possibly meeting for lunch so its not just one person.
We need to really get all the filming of him becoming obsessed with the blog done i liked the 24 style...
And face upto the facts that its not gonna be feature length and not as great as we thought at first but if we do it then we can move onto something else.

I have got a few more scriting ideas that I may start writing for when we do another film.

Feeling a bit bunged up :(

Im going to buy a flip mino HD NOW!!! I cant just look at it anymore im going to buy iit!!!!

Saturday.....

2009-03-28T18:46:00.002Z

Today ryanbartrop.info went LIVE. Its a kind of directory of ME, includes links to this site, rhynoz disco, CV, media work etc all in one place (more of a formal thing for the unis)
Went to work which was good although bad weather!

Have found something I want/may buy, its a Flip Mino HD it is awsome! Its a small camcorder that records 4gb of film (1hr) 30fps in HD and 16:9, I may get one soon because I have been wanting an affordable good quality camera that I can do some filming things with for a little while now.
Especially now that SAGCYFM is ending tommorrow, I still want to be able to do some filming ......... so you may see alot of films appear soon if i buy it.

Going to go and get a film tonight not sure what yet maybe wanted or eagle eye or something else......

Cannot wait til next week next saturday lads night! Gonna be so good just hangin out playing pool and drinking lots (dan if your reading my blog you HAVE to come no excuses!!!!!!!(If you dont expect drunk phone calls!))

Hopes u alls having a good weekend

Another new domain

2009-03-27T21:36:00.002Z

So today was an ICT day really! We had to schedule in an extra lesson so actually had 2 lessons of it because we have sooo much to do! But I think I can manage it and im not too stressed out about it.
Had geography today which was rather painful, as always it is just a drag now and I cant wait to drop it, I am going on a geog trip on monday which may be fun may be not, will wait and see.

After having a discussion with my dad tonight about domains I have decided to purchase ryanbartrop.info (not live at time of writing) to have a more formal directory of my work as well as this .co.uk one as a more personal seeing as it was only 99p why not!!

www.ryanbartrop.co.uk

2009-03-26T11:31:00.003Z

Yesterday I purchased ryanbartrop.co.uk! So welcome to the new home of my blog :D

UPDATE~ few problems with it atm it should direct to this page but it seems to be directing to a holding page with a girl listening to headphones!
UPDATE 20:30~ All seems to be working ok now :D

its been one of those days

2009-03-25T15:54:00.003Z

Its not depression but just a bit of a MEH, day tbh.
Im not sure if its the lack of sugar from the chocolate my body is feeling so weak and I am mentally unstable!
Another :( thing is that its getting nearer the fun run and it has made me realise that I have let my running slip recently and its probably not on a par with last year. Hopefully I can still pull something out of the hat.
Im not naming names but god some people are really getting my back up!
I got my confirmed AS marks back today and I got a U in general studies which means I have to re-sit. I am quite disappionted with this as I actually tried on it.
I spose that my media work is nearly alll done, however I feel under alot of pressure for ICT.
I think I need some retail therepy??? I may go and get ryanbartrop.co.uk/net tonight to cheer me up. I have got £50.. so maybe I can pop into town coz the only problem with the internet is that it takes a few days to come through!

On the upside THE APPRENTICE starts again tonight :D

driving

2009-03-23T20:54:00.002Z

Something that is BIG in my life atm is of course driving, went out again today with my mum and am getting on rather well with my manouvers today I did a bit of practise on reverse round a corner (which i think is harder than it seems) and parrlel park which im getting better at!
It shows you how interesting my life is when I am talking about a car! NOt very really! School was just school tbh not much differant just learnt a bit of stuff!
The only annoying thing is have to pay out money for a geography trip and a first aid course.

Am sitting here looking at my roller skates and how lonely they look, havent used them in for ages, really need tooooo!

Really wierd thing just happend I stubbed my toe walking up the stairs and posted it on twitter and Dan has replied back saying he has to, how weird is that!!

Just watched Chris Moyles Quiz Show on the channel4 catch up service and it was really funny.
Thats it from me today... Bye

Mothers Day (update)

2009-03-22T09:16:00.002Z

Yesterday was a day and a half!! After work I had to travel upto Brentwood,London to do a disco. It was at a very posh travel inn! Finished at 12:30 and got back just before 2!
Now this morning I had to get up and make breakfast for MUM on mothers day a nice cooked breakfast.
Going to SAGCYFM in a little while, not sure what we will be doing.

4:45
Just got back from SAGCYFM and we filmed alot of the inside, house shots today at mine. It went really well, hpoefully all the shots will look ok when we watch them back.
Had a little problem was we had to make some changes to my laptop and I kinda pushed the wrong button and lost some work but luckily managed to find it again!
Got some work to sort out now :(

2009-03-19T16:11:00.004Z

Hope you enjoyed the vlog yesterday (video blog) Coz i know adam did!
Today I felt went way to quickly (like most of this week!)
I went for a nice run this morning and am feeling all good for the sudbury fun run
Media and ICT went rather quick and I am pleased to say all due work is in!
Had a driving lesson and just brushed up my manouvers, hope to get out to bury next week and run a mock test!
I was hoping to go out for another drive but mums gone out:(
I was given a copy of final draft by Paul and I have installed it and it is exactly the same as celtx and I must say i think I prefer Celtx which is weird becuase thats the free one!
Dyed my hair last night and luckily it came out well.
Right now I have got the tunes up loud and the BASS is PUMPING!!
Circuits soon.....

PS I know its not to laugh at peoples misfortune but Leon Jackson has been dropped by his record label, Sony, HAHAA He should have never won the XFactor!!!

2009-03-18T16:18:00.004Z

Not done one for a little while, its just been recorded and is uploading on youtube...

Please comment below

ryanbartrop.co.uk??

2009-03-16T20:24:00.002Z

Hello to the moanist person I know (adam) who i had the pleasure of spending this morning with. He is like a teenage Jack Dee.
Business was good its getting more in depth and going into the theroeys of motivation!
During such lesson, Adam and I were discussing this particular blog and he said I should buy my domain www.ryanbartrop.co.uk just like dan has. Well I think I may investigate this as I do like the idea if this. (or I could just do the .co.nr free version!)
The sunny weather meant I wore 3/4's today and sat outside at lunch.
Managed to edit the yr9 interviews so that is another thing all done and out the way :)
Haircut.
Went to Pauls to 1)see the new imac and 2) edit the connexions film

Tommorrow is tuesday and body combat :D:DD:D

Saturday

2009-03-14T18:55:00.003Z

Work was average, a little bit too quiet for my liking but still ok.
Got to work tommorrow so will be missing SAGCYFM unfortunatly :(
Went over to Dans after work to do some editing of the 'Bury Live Lounge' event. I really enjoy editing although it is a long process and fairly unsociable (I was round Dans for 3hrs and we said few words to each other lol!) i still really like it and enjoy it just as much if not a bit more than the other film making proccess and Im sure he would agree.

The script for dead school was finished yesterday (not sure if I mentioned that) until I read it again this morning and noticed a huge charchter cock up. I accidentily got 2 charchters muddled up which at first read isn't noticable but if it was to be made into a film we would suddenly realise!
I have now corrected it but it is still techniquily a draft as I am hoping to get a few (select) people to read it. I am even feeling brave enough to let Roxy read it and comment!

Tonight I am going to watch Rickey Gevais' Ghost Town.

Comic relief

2009-03-14T09:31:00.003Z

So yesterday was obviously comic relief- red nose day. I went to school wearing a red t-shirt and that was all, unforunatly us 6formers didnt get round to sorting out any fancy dress or a theme so it was just red theme!
In the evening on BBC1 there was some great tv-shows. I think David tennent and davina mcall were the BEST presenters of the night the others that followed them didnt really have the chemistry or energy.
I thought smithy and the england team was excellent! Also the Rickey Gevais sketch was good. But my personal favourite was over on BBC2 top of the pops. Flo rider performed and davina, claudia winkelman, french and sauders got on to the stage and were dancing with him it was hilarous!
Off to work soon and then over to Dans to do some editing.

TITLE

2009-03-13T10:08:00.001Z

(cant think of a title)
Yesterday was a weird day! for some reason or another I really wasn't with it, on another planet!
In the morning I got asked to do some interviews with year 9! I seem to be the schools latest film project person! I had to find someyr 9s to interview about when they came up to gcus. They were not very talkative but I think I go enough out of them!

After my friving lesson I went circuits and for some reason i felt really de-flatted and harrassed, I really dont know why. So we had chips from the chip shop to kind of give me a boost.

But hey ho its friday so the weekend is only in a few hours! :D

wednesday

2009-03-11T07:54:00.001Z

Well good morning i am currently laying in bed abou to get up and go to school.
y'day was a bit boring at school, but tueadays always are because i have a full day!
in the evening - went with paul,robyn,roxyand john over to ipswich to the high sherief awards. We weren't nominated but 2 of our commercials got shown and we got a lot of praise! So it was a rather good evening.
Am also going to go to lowerstoft today to do some editng with a group so today will be busy too!

Stupid phones

2009-03-09T18:33:00.002Z

So I am having problems transfering my phone number over to my new phone which is a really big pain atm!!! GRR I think its orange being awkward not wanting me to change networks!!
Today I had some lessons but also spent some time working out when and how to start this 6 form documentry! I think I will start filming tommorrow or wednesday. Just need to find some willing interviewees!
Just got off the phone from BT and the phone number should go over on thursday phew!

Went over to Pauls house today to discuss the future of SAGCYFM with regards to money and equipment which was a good meeting and we now have to just ask for the grant. Also tommorrow night we shall be going to an evening where they will be showing our film.

I have been shown some great pre-production software which I love because it is just soo brilliant, its called celtx.
Me and Dan have begun to work on a zombie film which may not ever get made but its an idea we have!

Im hungry

tired

2009-03-08T00:52:00.000Z

very quick as am rather tired, just got back from djing at an 18th (another one) it went rather well they were all up dancing :) Funny thing is i got a text from someone at the party saying ur good and fit! Lol!
Last nights meal was really enjoyable becoz i felt I hadn been out wiv mates for awhile also some of us hd a few drinks so we were on top form. I am proud to say I fell in a thorn bush and now have thorns in my hands but I was a bit drunk at the time so I jut laughed.

tommorrow could be rather interesting as there maybe a big argument about the script lol.

2009-03-04T18:45:00.000Z

So I am now posting this from my new phone (htc_ s60) it is hard trying to get used to qwerty on a phone! The phone is similar to a blackberry.
My room has been redecorated now and once the paint is dry I can move back in :) I will post a pic on here tomorrow.
Body combat last night was awsome! I felt like I got rid of the stress!
Today no assembly to show the video but me and dan will be showing it again tomorrow ( www.dannewman.co.uk ) He has also started to keep a regular blog which is good to see. I like blogs.

Ryan XD

Tuesday

2009-03-03T17:15:00.004Z

Hey there!
Today has been a rather good day today :D Had to take lil sis to school and when I got back it was all going on in the house, the decrator came to do my room and at the same time my friend/editor Dan (http://www.dannewman.co.uk/) turned up to go to school. We have been showing the charity week film in assembly! And playing flo-rider's round round really loudly!

Also the script for 'googled' (SAGCYFM) has been thrashed to bits with notes from every angle and it is nearly in shape to be filmed next week. Its at the stage where we are mostly all happy (roxy!!)

Finally going to Body Combat at the gym tonight, which is a new class, karate aerobic style which should be quite fun!

Ryan x

Just a little update I have been messing around with differant templates do you like this one?

Random picture

2009-03-02T21:05:00.002Z

I dont really have anything much interesting to say today, other than got aproval for the 6 form documentry and will be following this up with a meeting with KP on thursday!

Because the blog isnt very interesting I thought I would find a random picture to post.

End of the weekend

2009-03-01T16:34:00.002Z

This weekend I had a reasonably chilled out friday night (first for a while!)
Saturday I was at work in the lovely boots! Was a good day rather busy, out for lunch and then back home for a little bit!
DISCO woop, 18th birthday party which was a stormer! Everyone up dancing, very enjoyable.

SAGCYFM today was good we started filming and at the moment I am working on scripting the film as we are in a bit of a situation in there is a couple of ideas on how to end the film!

Day 2

2009-02-26T15:55:00.002Z

Shrove tuesday

2009-02-24T18:07:00.002Z

Today is the last day of eating things you like because lent begins tomorrow and for me that means no more chocolate and peanuts (dont ask!!)

So from now on for the next 40 days I shall be without chocolate :( Im sure I will cope because I have over eaten on chocs the last couple of days!!

I shall be keeping you updated!

Oh and D-timetable day was boring today coz they talked about uni all day and seeing as I want to go I dont need any one telling me to go coz I will be!! Waste of my time tbh!
My charity week dvd will be shown tomorrow morning in 6 form assembly and hopefully will get a good reaction! After that it will be going onto the school website.

Ryan

The end of a long week

2009-02-22T16:55:00.003Z

So at the end of this long week I have been soooo busy, lets just say im glad that I am going back to school!
Today at SAGCYFM (sudbury and great cornard young film makers!) we made a video for the ghost busters song! We managed to film and edit it so thats its nearly finished in just 4hrs!
I think the rest of this term will be a tough one not long left! Also a d-timetable day on tuesday which are always a bit of a drag tbh!

Atm we are watching the first Harry Potter film lol they look so little and young lolness!!

Righty ho this is Ryan signing out!

Added another 2hrs to the editing (it WILL be finished 2mora!)

Went over to Lowestoft with paul and dan to some work expeiernce. We filmed an awards ceromony that was taking place and it was really good.
Also on the way back had some discussion with Dan and the state of the school meida and how it needs to be dramatically improved (hopefully next year) and all the problems with the theatre!

Im really awake and i think im going to storyboard some stuff for sunday now

2009-02-03T18:50:00.003Z

After the snow yesterday today I was back at school and thats it really!

Nothing else that interesting... slow news day!

Im on twitter btw http://tinyurl.com/ar5zv9

Am i just old before my time?

2009-02-02T14:22:00.000Z

So its been snowing, school closed this is normally most kids dreams but i really couldn't care! Coz of the snow I couldnt run:( or go out for a drive:(
So after being forced to go out by sister and mother, I am now cold and have lots of work to do which Im not really in the mood to be doing but I should take advantage of this free time.
Why do I sound like a grumpy old man?

I did have fun in the snow though, but it was a bit of an effort!

I saw steph on the train to London!

2009-01-31T18:45:00.003Z

Yes I saw my friend, steph, getting on at marks tey last night on the way to London! But that was not the highlight of the night, no way!
After flooring it over to colchester, running for the trains, we made it to the Hamersmith Apollo and saw no joke, 1000's of people queueing!
So we joined this queue and found out that although there were loads of people we would still get in. So we got into our seats and the view was just amazing. The exec producer came out to tell everyone how the night would run. Ant and Dec came out to say hello:D then out came the judges... Simon, amanda and Peirs :D:D
We saw some really good acts; suger free (dancers), A ballroom dance group and a voilinst. And we also saw some shocking acts; male pole dancer, old belly dancer and a 50yr old singing fame who didnt know the words!
We were there for a long time but there was a compere to entertain us inbetween each act who was very funny!
Here are some pictures of the view of the stage and a video i took of the judges entrance (we were only allowed to video the jusdges at the begining but not allowed to video any acts)

Was a great night and I'm hoping to get some more free tickets to tv shows like this coz it was a great night out :P BYE X

Nice to SEE me?!

2009-01-30T07:59:00.001Z

Hello and this is a very special video blog today :D

Have a good weekend > I will blog soon!!

Should Fred Flintstone be FAT??

2009-01-22T20:47:00.002Z

In my strange, random brain.. a thought popped into my head today during circuits.....
Fred Flintstone shouldn't actually be fat (or round to be nicer!)
When living in the stone age which he does he doesnt have a lot of fatty foods to eat, even if he does eat a lot, most of that is meat which is protein!
Also he does alot of phyisical activity! The cars are foot powered, he works in a mine of somesort and there is no TV surely his daily life is at least equal to the calorie intake... It just seems bizzare to me that he is drawn as (and played by) bigger people.

Does anyone else think this is true? So why is it not 6pack flintstone??
And yes, his alter ego- Homer Simpson should be fat becuase he eats lots and does sod all!

DJ on the decks

2009-01-21T15:27:00.002Z

Hey blogers hows it goin??
At the moment I am in the middle of a mad mixing session right here in my room!

Maybe tommorow!

Ok So first things first. I helped a lady today who fell over on the ice. walking to the gym and jsut infront of me a lady fell over and i went asked if she was ok and helped her up. There you go thats my good deed for the day :D
Now today I decided I would take some photos to document my day as a photo blog jsut to make things a bit differant. The photos are all a bit random lol!

This is the view from my bedroom this morning
This is my school bag, scalf, ipod and soothers!

The bathroom (not all of these are mine!)

The journey to school!

These next few images sum up the school day rather well!

Some cool blurry car shots I took on the way to the gym (and an odd postbox!)

If you didn't all ready know I am a big fan of Radio1 and I would like to work there when I leave uni so you can geuss what was on in the car...

And finally here is a picture of me blogging.....!

This has been quite a big blog (and its not the simplist of things to do!) There have been a few pics missed out becuase I just dont have room but there maybe some more random pics appearing in some other blogs soon......

The last sunday, kids party and a new doctor...

2009-01-04T16:27:00.002Z

well if you read the title that pretty much sums up my weekend!
Work on saturday was all good and then left there at 5:30 went straight over to newton green to DJ / Entertain a 12yr olds b-day party. It was a good party as always kids are full of crazy energy!

Got back and the new doctor (DR WHO) has been revealed to be a matt smith....
He is a relatively unknown but I think his face fits the part. Who knows we have a long time to wait .......http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/misc/news/index_new_doctor.shtml

And finally it looks as if I have just got back from my last sunday working at boots. With my contract finishing on saturday and a new contract (if there is one) will probably have me in on saturdays. Which is a great shame because i enjoy working on sundays but im sure I will still see the sunday peeps from time to time.

2009

2009-01-01T16:22:00.001Z

So starts the first post of 2009...

Had an awsome party last nite did a bit of drinkin and got a bit merry with some of my gr8 frineds and counted down along with the rest of the world and ring in another 365 days.
So as i write this i am very tired and a ittle bit hungry its going to be short and sweet x

Next year i will....

2008-12-31T16:29:00.002Z

So as it is the last day of the year its a time for reflection and looking 4ward to the new one.
This year has been a very good one- some great memories of the year;
The summer holidays in bulgaria and france
Alphabeat
Starting 6Form
And all the millions of parites
Statring to drive!

So next year brings some good stuff too... more drivin, DJin, turnin 18 and hopefully some happy times:D:D:D:D:D
I have a business test in 8 days!

NY resolutions........ Keep up the fitness, Be more adventurous and take a risk on life

Happy New Year

And another day of xmas

2008-12-26T10:22:00.003Z

As it comes to the 26th of the December in the year of 2008 it is the 2nd day of xmas for some its just another day, others the biggest shopping day of the year and then for a few like me it is xmas day 2!
More presents and spending another special day with the family.

Oh how xmas is soo wonderful because it brings everyone together:D
The doctor who special is also a tradition now in it's 3rd year since the show came back and although a little more calmer than the previous (maybe because of the era ti was set in) It was still very good and enjoyable. Also in my family it is tradition NOT to watch the queens speech! Not because we dont like the royal family it is just that we CBA!

And now as I stare out of the window and notice the rather unusual bright and calmness of the day for a december (global warming) I wonder what these last few days have to hold for me and for the rest of the people of the UK, ney the world!
I have to go to work tomorrow however I do enjoy it and a pre NYE party after. (And then another 2 parties before the year is out)
However positive I maybe (always the optimist) I cant help but notice after looking at recent news that it maybe an upward struggle for many as 09 rolls in. With many woolies stores closing tomorrow and the rest of them by the 5th and also the unfortunate news of zavi .....:(

On a brighter note I love the Britney Spears album- Circus which was brought for me y'day and cant stop singing it in my head :P

So go forth and have a good BOXING DAY .........till we blog again............bye

PS i cant spell tomorrow I keep having to spell check it !

Merry Xmas and Happy Boxing Day

2008-12-25T21:07:00.000Z

Strictly is on in the other room (oh no!) but it means XFacotor final will be on soon...who will win??
