For The Merry

This is a video piece which I was urging to for Christmas day, burt then internet failed me.

...The Shame

It's for my past and present Art teachers; ace guys they are. You should really go abroad with them sometime.

Send your own ElfYourself eCards

I was longing to do an Elf video, but credit to Joe for giving me the link. Too bad the upload process takes longer to deal with than a Christmas chicken.

Oh, and I hope you enjoyed it.
I cried like a little girl, and I'm OH-SO proud.

MERRY CRIMBO, BOIIIIIII!

For Me, For You, For Who?

Well I am triple-T-Tired right now, so it's going to be an incredably short dedication to the likes of Blogspot.

Have no fear, karma shall hit me hard as consequence. Bring it.

Back to the GDness, where the world of subliminal conspiracy can drive a student nuts.
This is from the likes of The Hidden Persuaders, I think? I'm probably 2000% percent wrong, but this is the most relevant finding to when I googled THP, so MEH to you all. Michael Tsarion for the w- shut up.

Enjoy

No?

Enjoy next time

Still no?

Screw yourself

Hidden Persuaders 2 Uploaded by Soca7

Oh, and because I love you unaminous strangers so much, I'm going to let you look and laugh at how I've been sleeping at night for the last month or so, from 2 in the morning onwards.

This is my bed. My workstation. My dinner table. My slothpad. My friend.

MY BED

And it shall be left in this state until I am superior to the force that is Alpha-male-laziness.

Peace.

The Sixth Day

... of Tuam blogging! It's nice to be getting stuff down here, sharing with the world 'n all.

As you can see, rather work-based - and who can blame me! Been a week of wonders for the Gazelle (or Goat for the challenging, Lewis.), mainly for my search of articles and videos on Human evolution, as well as stuff on superhumanness - I know, that's not a real world; yet.

But it will be! JUST YOU WAIT! Shall be in all dictionaries worldwide come the next year! First stop - Wikipedia XD

Been chucking everything together for Film Studies also, all the hours of frustrative work has started to pay some dividen goodness. Let's just hope I can keep up the motion through Christmas.

Now I say 'hope', and that worries me.
"Hope is a dangerous thing." Morgan Freeman/Red
Man I fricken love The Shawshank Redemption, I stuck to my plan and made a transcript to all of the special feature footage. It was over four hours of useful yapping. You tried that before? Writing up all the words to a video/audio piece? I've done it before. I think not two weeks back, to all the commentary on Se7en.

SUICIDEEEEEEEE! [Go play some TimeSplitters, please!]

And for that reason, I then done something which almost felt like slothing, compared to the mind-mashing of film quoting - Play the film, with commentary by director Frank Parabont, and just keep my ears open to anything to do with the beast that is Morgan Freeman. He can be my grandad any day - ANY DAY.

Gosh, I am 50% KO'd, and I thought I had enough resting today. Didn't get out of bed until 1, disgraceful I know. My body was almost in a paraletic state, due to the overwhelming, constant rush of utter relaxation. And that was quite remakable, considering the amount of Slothspace I give myself every night.

'Tis my workstation!

This meant I missed out on two things. One, the beginning of H & Andee's christmas challenge! We done it last year, split the Fine Art class into two teams, and then design and make the best outfit.
This is still, to this day, diabolical. Our team stuck to the Christmas-fricken-theme!, yet we lost!
Society... I tells ya.

The second thing, Sir Ian Mckellen. He made an appearance at Wells todays, I think for the second time. My tutor, who's a gay drama teacher, has very good relation with the wizard, and as the school was celebrating - well, notifying at least - Gay Pride Week. So Mckellen made a visit, had some talks with students (and rumor has it that a close friend of mine shook hands with him, lucky tosser), in addition to presentation viewings on the knighted actor and Gay Pride awareness.

Oh well, can't win them all. I did get into school in the end, but Sir Ian was long gone come the time Mr. Unpunctual strolled through the Welling gates with his flashy pass card, which he had to pay for as he lost the first one.

Oh yeah baby, I know how to live the life of a 6th Form Student!

So I went into honourable H's room, and printed away, as it is the only reason I dedicate so many hours to the classroom now [Darn those HP printers and their disfunctional ways!]. But not to fear, I got to take full advantage of Well's lazer jets, printing 30+ pages on:

Subliminal Advertising - Past and present techniques, alongside Guerilla Marketing research.

Check it outtt.

http://weburbanist.com/2008/06/03/the-history-of-guerrilla-marketing/

Human Evolution - Future possibilities. Different races, forms, and attributes.

Check it outtt!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7103668/

And my transcripts I wrote up on from my 3 disc edition The Shawshank Redemption set

Nothing to check outtt!

Had the lady round after all of the educational jumbo. Which was very... pleasant :)

STOP PERVING! YA FRICKEN, PERVS!

It's our bussiness, go get your own fun!

Come the evening, we took a trip to a slight stretch beyond The Broadway, and joined some friends at the cinema. *Important note: FILM IS A RELIGION TO US, get youst to it.

We watched Inkheart. Can't complain too much, it was a nice movie. Easy watching, brilliant for a lazy day in when not even the mind wants to be active. But I guess you could say that's its downfall. The narrative is smothered with too much additional information, as our eyes were chucked back and forth between various characters, which suggested that the writers tried to hard in dragging the storyline along in order to make a 90+ minute film. Yet saying all this, it had Brendan Fraser, who is a charming and witty actor, whose forever a lovely sight to my eyes. And come on, the magical creatures! Bringing masses of story characters to life, was so cool to watch - Unicornnnn! XD

Oh, and it had Helen Mirren, and she's top notch. Particularly in Inkheart for her simply diabolical motives and actions, which was all very humerous coming from a truely "WTF!" perspective.

So all in all, been a good week. Friday alone dished enough justice to tag the second week of December: Coolness.

Ooooow now there's a thought! Christmas! And as the 13th has arrived at this time in the morning, time to scoff down another 1cm squared chocolate piece from the advent calenderrr, YUM! Let's just say it's a midnight treat as I will now do some more work, until someone in the house wakes up, forcing me to "GET IN THE F****** BED!".

Here's something to leave you with. As at school we have a Blogger of The Week Award (Who won the first award baby!!!), I can't help but make note of what my favourite blog I've come across this week. And it's gotta be Design Scene's stuff on Oppenheim's architecture project. It's truely wonderful, I was thinking of the likes of Dubai prior to seeing this in the week, so it all made a truely beautiful session of fantasy whilst in the LRC.

Duck Out!

The Aquatics

It's a fine Art class right now, and I feel like slothing.

Courtesy of Costcutter's new pizza selection, which offers a wide range of various semi-burnt products. All for 70p.

ACE.

It's either doodle along through my book, trying to tie in illustration with the evolution/superhuman investigation
OR
Just keep it cool, kick back and relax to the delights of video documentaries on the evolution of human species.

Intensive slothing it is!!!

I've focused more on the National Geographic's archive on related television series to my project, and completely forgot about the wonders of the Discovery Channel!
[The channel where discovery is all]
Well DURRH.

As I've already got p-p-p-lentyyy of videos on the superhuman side of things, I am right now, as we speak, searching for stuff on evolution - starting off with humans.
And this is some pretty darn cool thing I came along!

The AAT/H (Aquatic Ape Theory/Hypothesis)
Documentary.
Produced by Richard Chambers (The Third)- Also directed and produced 'Nature' (2007) and 'Massive Nature' (2004), both documentaries.
Narrated by Andrew Sachs - He has a nice voice.
Shown also on BBC.
Aired in 1998.
Explains and discusses the pros and cons of the Aquatic Ape Theory, including interview clips with the founders of the hypothesis. This argues that the idea, an intensively backed-up one, should be seriously considered in defining the evolution of man, from the descendent from Apes.











Hope you enjoyed!


Gotta dash back to the table!
Teacher's expecting some neat illustrations come the hour.


BLAST.

The Superiors

This must have been one of the first video peaces I found in my search for the ideology of progressive powers. I saw the program title and was a bit dazed, thinking it would have been a mock-up to the likes of me and other Youtubers who spend the hours of our days with our finger tips tied to the keyboard and the earphones glued to our ears. But "HEY!", as it came to be legit [boiii! WESTSIDEEE!], my excitement blew through the ceiling, as if I possessed a new-found superpower for exploding my brain cells over the wonders of cyberspace.

YES, if you were asking, it's Fine Art.

This is a 10 part series to the seemingly real life superhumans, each who have obtained unique and scientifically unexplainable abilities. Brilliantness, in all its glory. GLORY GALORE.

This is just the first episode, shall track down the others soon as


...I can be bothered.

Loose Women is on.

You can't touch sh*t like this.



Next step in this journey of joy: View them all. Annotate...

"You know you would prefer it critically, but it's up to you John. Just depends how good a student you are..."

Oh fineee. Critical analysis it is. Only on the good ones though.

*Now when I say "good", I don't mean that "It's cool. Wish I had a power like that. Cool. I like it. Makes me wanna play Dragonball."

Now that's a complete lie. Tenkaichi 3 for the win baby!

But with a more detailed exaplanation. In terms of it's relevance to my project. It's possibilities in giving it a 'superhuman' signature. It's connection with human evolution. And most importantly



IT'S COOLNESS

Oh! Oh! Oh! And for your information. I had the Film Studies class yesterday, with the Shocking Cinema presentations (if you cared to read the earlier post. BLESS!), and I didn't even have my film scene shown - The shame.
Now I could get all whiney and be "I put in the effort you bunch of ******* greedy selfish ****s! But hey, there's no need to complain. I done the task because I wanted to, regardless of if I tried bragging about it in class or not. All it done was let me sloth in to the class chair that little bit more.
Which is capital-A-ACE!
Most of the other students showed the likes of gore-filled horror like Saw. But there was the odd couple who presented a different perspective to the shocking theme. Demuth showed Kes; the scene where there is the family argument, which errupts as little Kes discovers the- actually, I'm not gonna tell you. Gonna have to go and watch it, hahaaa! And Skinner played the ending to Lakehouse. Very interestong film. Plays with the effects of the connection between people in seperate time lapses. Shall watch that indeed.

But the best piece for me was from the likes of Dunsford (who is a complete genius in the arts of sculpting. Might get him to make my house sometime.), with Pan's Labyrinth. I found it a very unsettling view, I can't deny it. It was along such similar lines to my focus on This Is England. The brutality. The framing. The emotions. It really did shock me, as my expectations to Pan's Labyrinth were fixed on the idea of it being a pleasent fantasy.

Oh how wrong I was

The Traumatic

Last week I was set a homework task, as part of an introduction to my latest Film Studies work.

SHOCKING CINEMA

The Monday class had pages worth of notes on what defines Shocking Cinema, as well as some film clips, one which are stereotypically shocking to most viewers. As it was a Monday - the time in which you are still pulling yourself together from the events of the weekend, in a place where time can stand still until the 3 o'clock bell rings - the class was determined to learn, or atleast looked it! Nodding heads, and verbal enthusiasm.

align="left">

That's what us students are best at; even at college!

align="left">

align="left">

Oh deary, the homework!

Film and Media teacher Alan Fairnie set the following:

"Task: Come to next week's class with the most shocking film scene you have ever seen."

align="left">

"Hah, that's nothing!" I hear you say

align="left">

But any smartass student can tell when there's a trick up one's sleeve. We know how to read between the lines b*tch!, so lemme tell you what's really goin down.

align="left">

"Task: Come to Film class on 08/12/08, with a chosen film scene that best presents what you find 'shocking'. Can be referenced to in no particular way, and for no particular reason. Above all - justify your film. Whether it is due to the film's narrative/genre/characters, or it's micro elements, present your film scene with a statement that distinctively explains what makes it a shocking viewing/experience."

align="right">

Oh you wish you weren't going to school now don't ya?

Too bad, because I have to, and face the crowd first thing in the morning at 08:45, s-s-so... SHUT IT.

align="left">

And this is what I'm taking to the classroom in 7 hours time! If I keep my head upright, having the Laptop glare the ultimate pixelated poison through my eyes. My eyes, my beautiful eyes.

align="left">

It took me a long, very long, while to decide what film scene I would say is the most "shocking. Like, ever, like, totallayyy!" As thinking about what films scare me the most just led me to the sadenning conclusion that I'm more or less brain dead when watching films, even horrors and thrillers. There was stuff like Scream and Jurassic Park, which were at the age of 6 made truely pant-wetting experiences - bad times. ut of course now, it's not the case at all. Just lke the rest of the nation, the world, our minds have developed to automatically desensitise ourselves to the most horrid of sights. Everything is just, blank. A blur.

Something to literally lay our lazy eyes on a be like "Ah. She got her head ripped off. Meh.".

align="left">

So I went against the traditional elements of shocking cinema, where the thrills are high and the horror is... haha, horrific! And steer towards the more moving images I've saw. The scenes that have touched me like nothing else, where my morals are shattered and my hopes are hung.

And this is where the soon-to closing scene of This Is England comes to play.

The Fight, The Fury, The Pool Table

Was all in good fun, can't deny it.

Attended a youth gig
Destination: Dirty South
Destination That Destination: Lei Road
Destination That Destination's Destination: Lewisham
Destination Tha - It's In London, England

It was some friends who were there, them and their band Fight The Fury. They're making progress every time.

Adam's seemingly effortless riffs

Chris's beastly bass solo

Lewis's tendon tearing drumming

Jack's James Hetfeild voice

Individually kickass. And they're finding the middle ground.

The Pool. It can't get any more serious than this.

Whether that's for the good or the bad of all pub men, I'll leave that for you to decide.

The Unnaturals

National Geographic wins again, as this rare find speaks for itself.
Man I bloody love this.
Getting to put my late hours into a personal interest. One which has 'Artistic potential'.

BRAP!.

This really was hard to track down. Well, the whole archive that is. At first I had to try and accept having to deal with a valuble find, which is missing another 50 minutes worth - The Shame.

But hey, as I've got it in my cyber hand as we speak, best get the hot stuff down... emphasis on: downnnnn

Episodes 1 - 5 [I believe that's it all. If not, then dearly darn the internet for it's insufficient ways]











Much much much credit to Youtuber SearchForTheUnknown. There is PLENTY more of videos from the Is It Real? series. Including the likes of Big Foot (now you know you want some of that hotness!)

Man it took long to encode those into the blog successfully. Right-winged mother...

:]

The National Geographic: A Personal Paradise

Last blog I introduced some info on my current work for Graphic Design.

Ya know, the researching and what-not!

Well here's an insight to my Fine Art project. Also a research-based unit, where an area of investigation is selected, and intensive exploration is required in order to - let's say, fullfill a statement of intent.
Ohh. I forgot to mention. To both art subjects, there's an essay involved! YAYYY!

XD

Well for Fine Art, my title [so far, it could change. WhO KnOws!?!] is:
Human Evolution: Extraordinary People

It's prioritised to delve into two realms - the normal, and the paranormal.
It's all about exploring how the gap between these two worlds are forever closing in on each other. Where fantasy's becoming reality. And 'Superhuman' will become a mondane definition.

Pretty cool, ehhhh???

Well here is a video; one of many. I'm looking at documentaries, recorded lectures, and articles on the subject. Tracing baack from the dawn of man, to the horrifically exciting transition between our (us, humans) current specie status and posthuman production.
Back to the video! As the title suggest, it's on the accomplishment of extraordinary capabilities. In this case, Strength [OfTheBEAST!©]



I'm-a leave you with this for now, as I am pushed to the edge with business...

FTF bitchezzzz!

The Tuam Rise

Greetings to all. As you've guessed, this is another blog on the account.

Kazarh!

A more independent one you could say, one for my more personal uses, outside the realms of SSRs (nooo, that's not an insult!).

In a nutshell, this is for times when I just want to get some stuff documented before it's too late. You know what I mean. To hold on to certain things, whether it be art work, or day-to-day experiences - stuff that means something to me, and stuff which will mean even more in the future.

MY:
art work
film work
notes
daydreams
dreams (Phh, fat chance!)
activites
and discoveries!

YOU NAME IT BABY!

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1k6c9_hidden-persuaders-pt2_politics

It's a part to my current Graphic Design course. The fourth unit, all about investigation and "essay-sination" on a particular subject. And this blog is gonna help me keep trck of what I've found, and what I've SMASHED! through. Emphasis on SMASHED!.

Catch ya later, whoever you are! [Most likely yourself, John.]

PEACE.
