Hit or Miss?
So I'm feeling slightly excited about something. What it is, I have absolutely no idea. Maybe I'm just feeling good about myself so far today, haha. A light fluttering sensation in my tummy would best describe my state at the moment, strange I know right. But either way it's rather nice.
So far today I've been pretty active on the job front, contacting my freelance employers and telling them I'm "good to go", available in the coming weeks (EMPLOY ME ALREADY). I've been waiting to hear from the BBC for a while now about the state of my application. A kind lady at HR told me they are shortlisting. I'm not sure if waiting this long is a good or bad thing? Well, I guess they haven't said no yet right? Fingers crossed ..
Plus they're are a good 7 jobs I'm going to apply for later today, busy times .. lol. I feel this post is rather scatty and most likely not very well written. If you're reading this I'm sure you're probably wishing you were digging for potatoes or something. I'm not going to bother reading this back, so lets say it's a first draft yes? Please? Lovely jubley. I'll post from the radio station tomorrow, ciao for now ..
Beaut day today, take a look .. Bournemouth beach!

Keeping with it
I rarely write on here, but each time I do have a flutter and scrawl down some random toughts about my life I really enjoy it. Much like a diary I think it's that feeling of release which people enjoy, and admittedly, so do I.
I'm really going to make an effort to keep with it. And this pic is just funny! haha ..

A tough old time
Afternoon :D
It most certainly has been a while since I poured my thoughts onto this page. My life has been rather unexpectedly hectic the last three to four weeks, and don't worry, I'll be sure to tell you all about my latest shenanigans in due course.*Because you're all clearly yearning find out what I've been up to* Haha.
Would you prefer the good news or the bad news first? When someone extends this question to oneself I think our instincts tell us to invite good news first right? Or have I just picked that up from some popular movie? Anyway, put simply, I think it's better to hear some bad news followed by good news. Because it'll hopefully counter the rotten tomato which someone just splattered in your face.
So my not so great news :( .. At the time of my last posts I was pretty chipper with the way things in my life were moving along. Mainly it was my developing career which was making my mouth look like it permanently had a slice of orange stuffed in it. I was steadily building a career in the broadcast industry, a good foot i the door you know. I was demonstrating my skills as a talented young journalist and learning new ones along the way at one of the busiest news centres in London. I was so confident that this work would continue to roll in for me, I began planning for what I considered an inevitable move to the big city. Alas, my shifts were recently cut due to staff cuts. Talk about pulling the carpet from underneath you huh! ..
A real shame, but it doesn't do anyone any good to dwell on what could have been. I may not be up and down to London each week on a regular basis like I once was, but I sure am more determined than ever to make it! ..
So that's the bad news, and although I've been unsuccessful with two job interviews since, at least I'm getting interviews now. The experience I've built up over the past six months is proving pretty valuable, so that's a plus.
Good news is I've been keeping busy. I've already bookmarked six new jobs to apply for, wish me luck :D .. And my 30 minute documentary project for my Masters is finally done. Thank the Lord, I seriously beginning think my hard drive may be the death of me as it's explosion from over use seemed imminent. Only a 3,000 word evaluation stands in my way from having MA on the end of my name, nice!

Things I Like Right Now
1. Dreams of Traveling the World
What an exciting prospect this would be. Its been a dream of mine for a while now to cram my bag with the essentials to survive a yomp across the world. Good trainers, a fancy outfit, a fancy dress outfit, guitar, camera and civvy clothes. That will surely do yes? :)
Many of my friends have made the trip to different parts of the world, exploring indigenous cultures, ways of life, traditions and bars, lol. And they've all truly had the time of their lives and look back on fond memories spent with their closest friends enjoying life. I still use a postcard sent by my friends Hannah and Kate as a bookmark and each time I turn the page of Barack Obama's dreams of my father, I'm reminded of my times studying my Postgrad and their hedonistic treks in the far east. It brings a smile to my face. As they partied on a beach in traditional village dress, dancing around a fire, I was studying my nuts off in the library for 12 hours straight. Media Law is tough I tell ya ...
Anywho, where would I like to go. Well, everywhere really. But if we're gonna narrow it down lets say .... Hmmmm. Definitely China, Japan, Moscow, South America ... Love to travel across the mid-west of the United states too, ahhh, that would be ace. A roadtrip through the bible belt of the world most powerful country, through republican territory. I'm a great fan of History so a big reason for gong to south America would be to do the Inca trail. Berlin too! I can't believe I forgot. To explore the sights of the Third Reich, the regime which threw the world into chaos and threatened the established order of democracy and free speech ...
2. Dropping Weight
Now this may be slightly controversial because I'm by no means fat or overweight, and don't want to encourage people to drop weight when, for them, it can only lead to an unhealthy lifestyle. There's a right way and a wrong way. Exercise and a healthy diet is the only way forward. None of this ridiculous starving yourself so that you become ill and collapse on the street, no sir.
Kate Moss once said something along the lines of, "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels". And I hate to say it, but she's right. Like I said I'm by no means overweight or obese. But once upon a time I used to look slightly better than I do now. I was a 32 waist (now a 34) and I was super toned and I can't help but feel that I've let myself go a wee bit. I used to play loads of sports competitively and go running over 4 miles every other day. Lately I've noticed slight changes in the wa I look, my face looks a lil chubby I think, lol .. So I've started eating 3 set meals a day with absolutely no snacking and I've got back to exercise. Running, cycling and doing my push ups etc.
The last week or 2 I've lost 6lbs, high five! and I'm just generally feeling a bit better about myself. It feels good to look a bit slimmer, to look better in those photos .. So heres to me back on track .. :)
