WHYSOSERIOUS?

General

I've been back from Cevvenes for a little over a week, and it's been hectic...

I've Worked loads of extra hours, helped me granddad out with Pond Maintenance, worked some more and maybe had a day off somewhere....

I'm pretty exhausted but, still the weather's been good (he says as he is deafened by the rain at his window)

I wonder if my Dad has even bothered to read ANY of this, If he has or does rather then I'm sure I'll get an earful soon enough....

Music

This week I've been mostly listening to the following

• Born Ruffians
• Mumford & Sons
• The Jam
• Bright Eyes
• Elle Milano

For further information, and an even bigger list of what I've been listening to then you are welcome to check out my Last.fm

I'm am currently trying to get into classic artists, and broaden my musical tastes, that's why I've also been listening to Marvin Gaye's classic - What's going on and plenty of Lou Reed, And The Doors.


Movies






I watched the Dark Knight on Friday, let's just say it deserves every bit of hype it has received, and it is one of the best action films I've ever seen, rest assured a full review will be up here quick sharp, after I've seen it again for the second time and probably the third.....




General...again

The blog I mentioned in my first post that is run by me and my friend will be initiated this week.
Despite wanting it to be a surprise it really isn't, It'll be a food review guide for Brighton and will be called;


The Joe Ben Jovi Guide to dining in and around Brighton....

Joe Ben Jovi, because My Name is Ben, and his name is Jovi.... Only kiddin' his name is Joe...

Also expect more reviews etccc because I need to start being creative, productive, and worthwile

What is right is wrong to hide
Drapped in your own flag
Is this really Pride?

A flood of admiration
he must stand the strain
of his own suffocation

I Love you But You're Green

How much greener are you now we are closer and closer to the end of the world?
(From Global Warming, Obviously)

Man it really grinds my gears when products exclaim exactly how much plastic cups it's taken to make into the product they now are like a fucking ruler or a cup holder!!!! I mean who gives two shits? But therein lies the problem, people do 'care' but they can't grasp that it's simply a marketing technique. It helps shift products and make money, it's hardly saving the world is it?Why can't those plastic cups STAY as plastic cups, and stop turning one item into another? Recycle rulers into rulers, cups into cups not three cups into a ruler and three rulers into a cup. It doesn't add up....

On The Road.....

Well this is a blog detailing my personal experiences, travels etc so now is a good time to mention my latest journey which begins tomorrow.

I set off to the south of France to document on camera the trip for the biology and geography students, I was informed that instead of shooting our own personal short film we had to record the other students work to make a DVD advertising the trip for next year, I wasn't the least bit happy when I found this out, and I still have a sour taste in my mouth about it.

Anyways, I am heading to the south of France to a picturesque little retreat, that looks remarkably like the setting of 'The Shining'. I Leave tomorrow at 7.30 at night and get there at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the NEXT DAY. quick mathematics with my fingers informs me that's 18 and 1/2 hours in a coach, Wow that's going to be fun.

I'll keep a sort of note diary of my feelings, observations, and ideas, I'll put them all up here when I return. I will also photograph as often and as much as I can and upload them here.

I am away from 12th-19th of July.

Don't miss me too much ahaha.


Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...strangers hand
In a...desperate land
