Superbowl... boredom!

So I stumbled across the Superbowl yesterday and I wouldn't say I hate the nfl or anything like that, I actually don't mind the sport but the SuperBowl seemed to be about everything else.

twitter exploded about Beyonce's half time show, A powercut stopped the game for half an hour and  it all lasted for 4 hours even though the actual sport is like 1 hour long, the whole thing just seemed to drag on and bored me a little.

Truthfully I found some the adverts more interesting, like the trailers for Star Trek and Iron Man but I was really surprised by the god of war live action trailer, which didn't have any action at all but was really cool to watch.


I thought the music really suited the tone of it, still not sold on the game though.

2013 new year, New Shit!

The last couple of years have been a little bit of a blur for me and I think that's down to me not trying new things, which is weird as I've had about 5 different jobs in that time. I've always thought that I should try and challenge myself career wise, progress within a role and go from there... but every job I've found myself in I've been bored within a week and the only thing that keeps me there is the friendships I develop.

In 2012 I finally made strides into a career within the film and TV industry and I tell you, it's not easy! I always felt that this is the industry where I belong, it's always evolving, it's challenging and most of all it allows you to be proud to be apart of something that can be viewed by millions and then instantly go onto another big project. It sounds perfect but two things kept on popping their evil faces up that I tried to ignore, so that I could just work but in the end I couldn't, those two things were;


  • obnoxious bastards who were devoid of talent but would progress quickly because they knew someone, came across 3 people like this and I just hated it. I always felt hard work was enough but it really isn't, you always need a leg up to progress and it just didn't happen for me.
  • Money! just need more of it

Not living in London is a real bitch, the cost of training into central hits you quiet hard, you need to be earning at least £28k to say your comfortable working and living but a lot of the entry to mid level film jobs wouldn't get near that, I have a great friend that let me stay around his in London, but I couldn't stay for long as I have responsibilities at home, and getting my own place would of been to costly as well.

ultimately the frustration of not progressing and money issues meant I had to leave a job within the dream industry. After which I have been doing a few other jobs but none have felt enjoyable.

So this year I have a trip back to Japan to look forward to, which I'm hoping will help change my negative outlook on things and spur me on to do something drastic to change my ways!

P.S.

It's been ages since my last post and I'm sorry but that Gif always has me in stitches.
