evening
Evening, I'm not sure this will work because LJ appears to have gone mental.
Anyway, I didn't really explain about my gone post regarding the recorded text piece I did, I'll do it briefly and then link anyone that wants to listen to it.
Basically my original idea was to get the general public's thoughts and feelings on being left alone at Christmas and move all that information into a filmic piece to make people think, make them reconsider, etc.
What it turned into however was stories from friends and families who thought Cmas just made them feel guilty, the one time of year you should be honest to each other cos you know everyone and yet everyone seems to falsify themselves than any other time of the year. The recording was stories merged together, it has a basic theme:
It starts with various thoughts from different people, the various noises and doubled-up parts is the growing anxiety then it bursts all into one moment together - chaos of Cmas day really - and then reflection. It's just under 4 minutes, it's called Ripped Wrapping and it can be found at: www.myspace.com/thegambleaffair
Oh it also turned into a mini-rant during my presentation of how much I hate commercialism and it's blatant continual growth of blanking any real feelings and thoughts, like Valentines tomorrow, not that I'm bitter, I just hate the force we're all put under for no reason than guilt. If you love someone, if you care about friends then you'll do good things for them anyway. I don't see why you have to be forced because society demands it in some fashion.
In other news I thought I was half having something with a lovely girl but I'm not - again - so I said screw that! It wasn't even that far in but it's already a memory. The bizarrest thing is she came to sit with me and my brother last night in the pub for no apparent reason then to say ello but then didn't really say hello, so after a couple of awkward conversations I just said to her 'why are you here?'
Not rudely, but in a 'you're out with your friend, you don't really want to chat to me, so go and enjoy your evening instead of feeling uncomfortable' and then proceeded to seemingly chat up one of the local drop-outs at the Bar...see todays MySpace.com/gambleuk for reaction really in my Blog there.
I'm up now because I'm about to start 30 hours of documentation and writing, wahey!
See you all soon x
