I've been thinking of getting into this for a while. I'm thinking of getting into 3D Animation. Thing is, I don't know where to start. I've used a little program called Anim8or which is free but it pretty limited in what it can do.
I see films like Shrek and think, that would be pretty fun! I've tried drawing, but my hands are too big and clumsy, when I put the pencil to the paper I just end up punching a hole in the table.
Thing is all the proffresional programs cost like £400.
I'll just keep looking, find some tutorials and knuckle down!

Parkour/Free Running
I love this sport, even though it's really not much of a sport. Just a way of movement. Parkour is simply getting from A to B as fast as you can, without taking the routes that normal people do. It's how humans should move if we didn't have paths and walls to keep us going certain ways. We have just grown used to walls as an impassible object, not an obstacle.
Free running on the other hand, is everything parkour, including flashy stuff like flips and big jumps.
I'll have some videos up shortly once the stupid devs at youtube fix the damned thing!
Here's some russian dude in a place I'd like to visit. Growing up in a place like this and you just know you're going to be amazing at this.

Dear God My Eyes!!
Hey fans!
I'm in trouble!
My beautiful face has been invaded by the most painfull and annoying thing in the world. Conjunctivitis! It's killing me, my right eye is in tatters. And it won't heal because of the cold.
Hopefully it will heal before next week. Or I might have to start wearing an eye patch!

Radio!
Well I just watched a documentry on how the inside of radio stations.
It was pretty cool to see how they do everything behind the scenes of the radio when it seems so normal over the radio.
I usually listen to the radio when I work, I used to listen to the radio none stop when I worked as a chef and it used to drive me nuts!. The presenter was Dr Mark Hamilton he does the sunday surgery on sunday evening on Radio 1. He gave you a tour of the station and it all looked quiet complex.
Since the start of radio 1 in 1964 when Tony Blackburn did the first broadcast it has all come a long way.And the BBC decided to make a now station that would play music for the new audience. This new station was presented by some of the top people.In the next 45 years the stations audience grew by the day. Now there are over 300 radio stations. At BBC radio 1 most of the workers there are within the target audience With the station being situated in London the look for presenters with different accents to appeal to as many places in britain as they can.
Also music is picked to cover different musical trends. There are many presenters such as;
Chris Moyles
Jo Wily
Colin & Edith.
And many more!
The station trys to keep up with the times, it's music and it's humour. With dance dj's at the weekend for the build up and in the afternoon some scott mills. It also gives people the chance to catch up on new music and bands for the first time and to get their own bands known to get others opinions on it by using the chat forums, listners then feel involved. It was a good watch and I see that it would be very interesting to work in a radio station, be that a presenter or a sound/equiptment engineer.

Muse, my inspiration.
With no doubt in my mind, Muse are my favourite, most respected band. Many people dislike them without actually knowing their music, they listen to the mainstream songs that are played on the Radio and music channels. But it is Muse's lesser known songs that truely make the band what it is.
The Lead guitarist and singer, Matt Bellamy is an excelent stage performer, as well as a very deep song writer. Most of his most recent songs have been based around the Idea of the Universe, and the Appocalypse. He wants to find out as much as he can about the unknown. And he expresses this through his music. Here are some of my favourite songs.

I Dun Brokeded my toe!
So I went out for a night out on the town the other day and when I was up dancin, groovin and flashing my moves. Some big guy stood on my foot just as I jumped up in the air to the beats! I felt a crunch but continued partying (completely legally!) regardless. When I got home I took off my sock to go to bed and noticed my toe had grown to almost 3 times it's normal size!
Fun stuff!
Just gotta be well 'ard and cope with it I suppose!
