Easter again

 Hi everyone, well it is that time of year where the clocks have go forward and the hours of daylight are longer. Winter is all but over and we are seeing nicer weather too in short we are in spring and it's Easter weekend. Now some of you probably aren't too worried about the real reason to celebrate Easter and that is fine, but Easter to a Christian is a bigger deal than Christmas. It's a time of new and rebirth only have to look at all the plants blossoming outside for that.  We are slowly coming out of lockdown and while we should be careful and cautious still about what we do I think there is room for small amounts optimism. I have never known some many people trying to connect with me on Linked in all interested in me as freelancer I'm flattered but I'm not really doing that these days there you go crazy step away from it and all of sudden you become in demand. Anyway have a good Easter weekend everyone and if you are going out be careful because Co-vid hasn't gone just yet.

Different as it maybe its still Christmas.

 It's that time of year again folks..Time Just flies by these days I don't think anyone will forget this year. Although a lot of us will want to no one could have foreseen this turn of events. We are where we are like it or not without sounding like a boy scout. While it's confusing what the government are doing. Do all you can to protect yourself and those you love from the virus. Take it from me my cousin has had it survived but struggled for 2 months after with the after effects. My great uncle caught it survived then died 3 days after coming out of hospital. The effect of it was too much for his heart ended up having a heart attack he was 87 mind you.  I too have had the virus I count myself lucky because my symptoms were mild to nothing. However, it's no laughing matter so take it seriously please for your own sake more than anything. So we end this year with Christmas as always it's going to a different one this year but make the best of it. While it's easy to get carried away try to keep within the guidelines. Trust me when I say corona virus spreads very quickly 7 out of 10 in my office had it. Despite lockdown and all this 2020 has been a good year for me I have grown in so many ways and next year I plan to level up further.

We aren't out of the woods just yet to beat this will require people coming together and not messing around. Enjoy the holidays look after yourselves, Merry Christmas and a happy New year. Try to look forward to 2021 because no for me lasts forever.

September...

Hello everyone thanks for reading my blog, the last 6 months have been unusual for us all I was on furlough up until start of August. I found plenty to do in the time at home and I feel better for it I know that we are living in uncertain and unprecedented times but the key now is to not panic. Ok the life we knew before has gone be under no illusions but the key now is to pull together and not allow fear to divide us. I have evolved a lot over the past two years and these last 6 months alone has seen a big change in me and my mindset all for the better though. 2020 will be remembered for a lot of negativity but from chaos comes new order and believe me when I say that no storm lasts forever. I have gone back to work my job has changed it was either that or lose my job so I embrace that change gratefully it's up to us all now to make the best of this strange situation. Thank you for tuning in speak towards the end of this year until then take care.

Spring is coming...

A quarter of the way through this year a start of a new decade. Madness I will be closer to 50 than 40 by the end of the next 10 years mind you I don't feel old! Been an interesting start to the year say interesting because turn your minds back 10 year to the start of the last decade we had a virus then too. Swine flu I remember the panic and hype around that I caught it and kicked it's ass in 3 days ok it was nasty and anyone older and weaker Yes it would have put them in a bad way. Fast forward to now the narrative is the same only difference is the amount of scare mongering on the internet and social media people need to get a grip. Check history 100 years ago Spanish flu killed millions Yes millions my great grandmother was a victim. It is nature the culling of the herd fact is there are too many people on the planet, unless we populate Mars in the next 15-20 years we are screwed resource wise. I don't wish for anyone to lose any of their loved ones no that is terrible. However, I guess it is survival of the fitness now with out sounding mercenary it is a lottery. I am currently off work back end of this week all being well I have two of the common symptoms of this virus. I rang 111 they said stay at home and don't go anywhere. So that's what I'm doing. However I don't feel ill slight dry cough and a sniffle I'm not bed ridden, being sick or feverish. So if I have it not sure I do because I haven't been tested for it I don't feel ill. I may take this opportunity to do some artwork my aunt kindly brought me some canvasses for Christmas and I have some good ideas in mind. No one knows how long this will all last whether it will get worse etc, but on thing is for sure the human race will go on in some form I'm sure. Take care all of you.Peace out.

It's that time again..

Howdy everyone, Well it's a blur I guess that's what getting old does time goes by far too fast these days. Another year finished and not only a year a decade too the 2010's have been on the whole good. 2019 has been better than the last 2 years in some ways I have hit a lot of my personal goals one left to achieve but I will have that too soon. I'm still getting a lot of interest animation wise, in fact a personal friend who's medium is music asked me the other day as some had asked for an animator. I just need to get some money together to get a new computer and believe me the creative juices are good to go. It's funny in art history anyone who is a tortured soul is considered to have a lot of raw energy when it comes to creativity. I have been tortured for awhile now so anything I draw or paint will be highly creative. Now on to Christmas well it's my favourite time of year because for 2 weeks everyone is generally nicer to each other come the new year we all become normal. However, let's not forget this is not commercialised as it is now the true meaning is the birth of Jesus and the representation of love through that of a family unit. Myself while I'm a fan of it I'm getting older now and at 35 it would be great to be spending it with all that I love. I put the tree up this morning not going to lie it could have done with a women's touch definitely looks horrendous to be honest. However there you go, Merry Christmas all of you and a happy New year may you all have a magical time I'm going to try to enjoy it although it will involve a lot of whiskey.

halfway point of 2019...F.M.L

Hey folks, halfway through 2019 where does the time go..mad isn't it. I will be 35 in October sesh. I have not been very active in terms of my animation now for quite some time life gets in the way you know? I haven't been well for awhile now I'm getting there but it's not as easy as flicking a switch this but there you go. I have previously posted before I have been on a very different path something completely unrelated since the end of 2017. Had to have a break from that too due to my bread and butter job. Yes, I'm settling in nicely I'm pleased to say. Despite my lack of activity I still get views on various profiles I have and LinkedIn too. I would like to do some artwork soon my creativity would be quite high after this long break I think I will have to make some time to paint or draw soon. 
Have a good summer all of you, enjoy the sunshine and your holidays.

Happy Holidays

It's that time of year again..seems to roll around very quickly must be getting old now. I'm still getting interest with my animation even though I haven't done any of a long time it's pleasing that even though I have taken a big step back that it still gets attention. Mainly had interest on linked in from a couple of agencies. Last 2 years have not been good for me or my family very few things to shout about only really one thing to shout about if I'm honest. Anyway this year will be strange I lost a very close member of my family in February he was a friend to me as well as my relative and has taught me so much about life and the man I want to be. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to all of my readers may 2019 bring you all you desire.
