i am not supose to have this on my head at christmas time............in fact one thing i need is a hug........

you know i have a friend that gives out free hugs, he even carries the sign about town with him.......might see him tonight, try and get a hug then........

anyway, recently ive felt like i havnt realy had much to do, ive had and essay to rite, but its done, ive had an assessment but its done, ive had nothing else to do apart from going to the Arts Center and doing whatever it is i do there, im kinda bored, i really dont know why, i just am, i feel like my life is just getting so boring and that something needs to happen to change it. i want to get into the xmas spirit but i cant i dont know why, perhaps its because i havnt yet done anything christmassy,

you know last year i spent xmas on my own, i had friends around me, who i actually rarely speak to anymore, i had presents to open, but i did in the end spend at least 6 hours on xmas day on my own, it wasnt a nice feeling, but never the less this time last year i was in the christmas spirit very much so, ask anybody, this time last year i was sat with Marc, Alex and a iMac, playing christmas songs and putting up xmas decorations, in fact i actually think i may have just come up with why i cant get in to the xams spirit, maybe its because i actually havnt done anything like this year because im spending it with a new family, a proper family, who invite everybody round to house and have a massive celebration, ive never been part of a big family celebration like this, in fact the only time i ever got to see my family together is at funerals, so im doing xmas differently this year, maybe it will be fun, maybe ill get so drunk i wont remember it, im looking forward to it, it sounds like it always is a good time..................

who knows maybe santa will join us..........

Forcefull Blog Antics

0


I recently received a message threatening that if i didn't post a blog i would have my ankles cut.
Now i am not afraid of any kind of cutting, thats not what im trying to put across here. Because i am never scared..

now on with the non-blog, thats right i aint doing a blog! its just a rambling which cant be classed or read as a blog, just a rambling aaaalright. Well my Bathrooms all fixed now and i am able to get around my flat without moving around the huge De-humidifier that they placed in my flat, Was also gonna dance about topics like a hopping little leprechaun.

..Well i thought about a list of things i liked about Plymouth at Christmas, Trying to get myself into the whole spirit before Three ghost have to come visit me and i need reminding what Christmas would be like without me, anyway on with the list..

I like the Lights in town, well the bottom parts and the royal parade tree's
I like the chilly nights, as an insomniac i go out for late night strolls like a crazy person
I like watching everyone rush through town while i stroll non-challantly through the mall

i suppose you thought i was gonna put alot to this list but truth be told i cant think of anymore right now, my heads a little clouded with the prospect of becoming an uncle. It makes me feel old and wise but mostly old.. i wanna teach it things like how to climb a good tree and that Zelda ocarina of time is the BEST video game of all time! and that Astroboy will have to be Her/His anime watching exsperiance.

Other random things like 'Holy Bible' is the only Manic Street Preachers album you'll ever need
: )

That's all..

£7 of petrol doesen't even fill a quarter of my tank.
The tube stops running at 12 when clearly, people need it! Three busses taking two hours to get a few miles is not acceptable! Even if you are happly drunk.

Hey all,

Its getting pretty close to starting the liverpool end of this project, its all rather different and unknown for me; same ideas as iv looked at before in some ways but very different pragmatically, that is working with groups of people, collaborativley and performativley! But that is deffienetly the direction i want to go in, for now at least. Anyway to make this a sucess we need las many people as possible i know iv said this already but pleasePLEASE come along, it should be fun ad a bit different to.

In other news Liverpool is beutiful but rediculusly cold, brrrr nowhere really compares with out good old Plymouth aye?

see you all soon

I think it was a bored day.....

1

okay, so this morning i woke up at 5,
yes thats right i was up at 5,
now i know most of you are thinking; Why 5,
well let me tell you guys that i was 5,
because my girlfriend had to get up at 5,

because she started work at 6,
but at i had breakfast at 6,
watching chucklevision at 6,
i had toast, frosties and a crumpet at 6,
then decided FABLE was a game to play at 6,

i played FABLE till about 7,
to get a shower at 7,
to wash myself at 7,
with herbal essences at 7,
and condition also at 7,

i decided to play FABLE from 8,
because there really wasnt alot to do from 8,
so i sat and played FABLE from 8,
got lost in greatwood a few times since 8,
killed alot of bandits, and a boss since 8,

and now ive played FABLE till about 12,
playing an xbox game till 12,
it sounds like a challege but it really isnt, look at the time its 12,
jesus chris ive wasted so much of my time today,
you think i could do it all again..........

i could............

if i think it was a bored day............

New Briefs

3

Yes thats right guys................its my turn to create a brand new brief..........

lets do it this way.........its a brief so lets all bring in some briefs.....i mean underpants, grannypants, thongs, boxershorts, knickers, any type of underwear, new or old..................=D

its abit of a sickly idea, but i was thinking we should make an Underwear Clothesline to be hung up anywhere in the arts center, and then each day/meeting we have we could add something to them e.g. a badge or cut away abit of them?????

kind of an on going BRIEF idea????

Hey all you fine E.A.P's! Liverpool is really amazing if cold ad wet! The last coupe of days have really just been spent settling in. Today was a day of wandering around the city, i borrowed a bike of the people im staying with and set off around the city. I visited a few galleries, notebly Tate liverpool and F.A.C.T. Both were ok, nothing mind blowing, but the Tate did have a work fro Francis Alys's 'Seven Walks' project which although iv seen before never stops being interesting, and poeticly simple!

Onto other things though, iv been thinking about what i want to do this week alot and developing the main idea, and I NEED YOUR HELP!

What im interested in is the idea of doing a guillera/almost invisible project. I was interested in this idea of displacement linked to ideas of locational identity (i can explain that in another post!) and the idea of communication between two cities. Both being port towns the mores code seemed the appropriate method. so this is what i want to do:

I plan to oragnise a low-fi Morse code message to go though the city on the eve of my depature. sort of like a flash mob sort of thing. People will (hopefully) be asked to turn up to the studio with a tourch where they will be given a bit of paper with the morse alphabet on it and a point on a map, and a time to go there. the message will then at a specified time start and pass though the city, (my current thinking is to have a message that maps its own journey; each person adds 2-4word describing their point along the route). when the message reaches its final point (i think probly the station i will be leaving from) I will note down the sequence and courier it to plymouth, when i arrive on saturday eve, what i want to do is to send the message through plymouth from near the station to the arts centre where someone can finnaly decode it.

But to do this i need as many people as possible at the plymouth end to carry the message!! please i you can it would be great to make this happen, and fun two, and anyone can be involved all you'l need is a tourch and eyes! if you guys are up for helping or know anyone else who might please let me know asap, as il need to rethink it if thers not enough people.

il keep you posted as things here develop.

We need a new Chestnut Tree!

2
So I was walking past the Chestnut Tree Cafe; our former cozey spot to talk about arty stuff, watch arty movies and do arty art, and saw the insides being riped out ready for a remodeling. Sad times. For Plymouth to ever get any kind of creative communtiy going there deffinatly needs to be places to drink! Now Rambuntionus is gone to once a month even the regular Sunday slot is gone. Therefore I've been thinking of contenders for new unoffical meeting/drinking spots. Hows about this place?...Caffine Cafe. I was in there the other day and it's not that cheep, but worth it- mint hot choclate with moutains of cream mmmmmm. The regulars are hailarious, uni tutors/writers/intelectuals in thier 60s trauling the days papers. It's warm, cozy, has wireless internet and best of all within a 30sec walk of vintage shops. And even if it's closed (which it may be at night) it right accross the street from Goodbodys, wher there is good jazz and all night food!

Brief: Limitations!

4

This is a 1 evening breif to put your creative minds to the test!
You will all have 1 evening and 1 material to work with. I will provide the 'surprise' material Thursday night so you have NO sneaky head start! You may add your own materials. The dead line is Friday at the private view, ready to display (or not) as our first, and slightly 'crazy' brief.

Think about 'your' work! How 'you' work! Its just a bit of fun to get us going, you never know, it might be the foundations for something even better! You can also write a few words to explane the mini process, ie- a diary/thoughts/article/poem.... to put in your folder and blog, or even sketches?

I hope this is understandable...
