Abandoned once again, and having a rant :)

Oh dearie me! I once again have abandoned this ¬¬.. Why do I insist on doing this!

Well and update might be in order! Basically.


Since my last post, I've had a job, and lost that job, and am back to looking for work. However, I've done another photoshoot so that helps! And I've started painting again...which has been lovely, mainly digital stuff, but yano.

If you want to see this digital painting thing, head over to my twitter and check out my Twit-pics at @SJMPhotoUK


I have not had an oven since god knows when...Perhaps November? I remember being annoyed cause I couldn't cook Christmas dinner.

So, this is what, June now? I've been eating microwave dinners for 7 months... Gross >_<. But they've done their job, I guess. The landlord refuses to sort it (sound familiar?) untill I fork out the bill for it. I don't fucking think so!
I've also had to move my matress into my living room, my bedroom mould is considered a hazard to my health now, I had some mould inspector out, he told me that it was penitrating from the outside walls, so I couldn't prevent it, and no matter what I would do to stop it, it'd come back, there's even water dripping down the walls, which as you can imagine, doesn't help. But yano. Looking to move out and what not :).


I also got new glasses :), ones spesifically for reading and using the computer! I now don't look like I'm trying to snog the life out of the computer monitor! It's great!..Although, my eyes look like 3 times their normal size :|...oh dear LOL. Can't wait to get stuck into books again, it's amazing how much you take reading for granted untill you can't see the words on the page no more. I have a few books that I brought over when I moved here from Ireland, and some that my mum has sent me. I might get lost on one of the ones mum sent, they're rather good she tells me... Tess Geritsen or something, she's a crime writer, we both watched the crime channel together before I left...
I miss Crime night with mum :(

ANYWAY.

I've been sat drinking quadrupple vodka and cokes all night long. I'm shocked that I'm not hammered yet, I've had half the bloody bottle! :|..

I have loads of shoot ideas that I want to do too, just not the models...When I get them however, it will be epic :D!
Also, I want to get a photographer who'll do a shoot for me, with me in the images. A shoot called 'Introducing Sam', I'd be dressed in my normal clothes (being all mens mind you) but have my chest strapped down flat, my shorts packed to look more, well, real down there and have the shoot. Incase you can't figure it out. Sam is my male alter ego, or the person who I believe I am deep down..

The man I've always wanted to be...

Anywho. I guess I should wrap this up!
I HOPE to blog again soon, I really do!

Take care everyone!

Oh dear! I seem to have abandoned this some what O_O

Waow, I'm so sorry! I have much to talk about it seems!

I had a lovely Christmas :), my 3DS is amazing, Skyward Sword has certainately...interesting, but very good. And it was a lovely time all round :).

I have had a photoshoot done in January, with my model, Kelly, done here in my flat, contained a mix of 50's style Pin Up images, alongside some more gothy and gothic doll images. Images are on my facebook page! (www.facebook.com/SJMPhotoUK)

I have also been on holiday to Fuerteventura, it was simply amazing! Me and Nik went to a live music bar, called Imagine (honestly, simply amazing) where the amazing Eric played 33 imstruments on stage....every night, for 3 hours, straight! No break! The man is a genius, it was amazing. And it was warm! Lussssh <3.


And here we are, on Valentines day! I got Niks phone repaired and given to me (she has a new one, and my usual one fucked up) as my gift :), I got her a box from the Lush soap brand, called 'Ps. I Love You', flowers, and Lindt chocolate :)...someone was a happy lady ^_^.


I have also had some...interesting mail from my website and on Twitter...People are simply wonderful ^_^. (Obv sarcasm but still)


So, still trying to get the business up and running, but it takes hard work to make it, and it will be hard work that I shall continue to do!


I also still have no oven ¬¬, and I have an insane amount of mould...delightful stuff. But I'll move soon! (I live in hope)


So here is to 2012, a house move, a fresh start, and a business to florish! :)


So, goodbye, for now!

Oh good grief. Christmas has creeped up on me!

Yes it has rather. All of a sudden it's all Christmas shows and songs..and 19 pieces of chocolate have been nibbled on :/

And no work thus far..Yet

I have pleanty to organise next year though! Roll on 2012!

Like I have a business promo, wedding, 2 family portraits.. Oh and a couples shoot to do, and they're already in the midst of being organised!

Also, a website is getting finished up! Yaay! I've made a mobile version (perfect for iPhone & Android) but I have to add a couple of things to both computer and phone sites for them to be finished up and ready to launch!

Aren't I amazing XD


But my god hasn't 2011 flown by?! It only feels like yesterday when I turned 20 :|
Even though that was in September..but shhh 

XD

And oh my god I wish they'd stop showing adverts for Brie cheese! The tv seems to understand that I quite love that cheese, and If i could afford it, I'd have it every day of the week. Yum yum yum!


Although I don't have an oven :|
You'd think things couldn't get any worse in this flat, I also have mice...again ¬¬. 
And I have an incredible ammount of mould :|


Crazy shit :/


But at least I'm warm. Unable to eat, but I'm warm..


Although I have chips and chicken and breaded chicken and all sorts of tastey things in my freezer that can only be cooked in the oven...


And I have to last untill Thursday, when I go to Niks for Christmas! After I go to County training...and have a brain scan..but it's all good (Y)... I'll just have to see what's fresh that can be defrosted and cooked (Aka, 3 chicken fillets ¬¬)


But as the song goes...I will survive...


Just about :/


But Christmas hopefully will be fun! For me, it's pretty much a very...Zelda christmas LOL. I have a 3DS with Zelda Ocarina of Time & Zelda Skyward Sword for the Wii..I will be having, so so so so so much fun <3 I have other bits too, like Jackass 3 on DVD that I'm not supposed to know about lol, and Tenacious D Pick Of Destiny..and Derren Brown Trick of the mind series 1 + 2...Lovely XD


Nik's got pretty much a very DVD Christmas lol!
She's got the entire Harry Potter Collection & The entire Shrek Collection..along with other bits :)..Like purfume, a new phone and other surprised that I don't know about lol!


I know more about my gifts than Niks LMAO!


But I can't wait to spend it with Nik again this year, this is the 2nd Christmas we've had together out of 3 :). Lovely <3


Off to my mums next year...That will be interesting, trying to gather a shit load of gifts on a plane, along with our stuff :/
Ooooh daaayum XD


Awell :)


All that to look forward to, and the new year with Nik, and a bigger step for the business :)


And with that I'm gone for 2011! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and an insane New Year!


Take care!

HAS GAINED A SUPPLIER! GET IN!

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Pardon my French. However...

I fucking hate Sundays.

They're so boring, and useless! What a stupid day. And the TV is almost just as bad.

I've been stuck watching Scrapheap Challange, and Four In A Bed all day...It's all making me want to sleep...even though I had 13 hours in bed :/.

Jesus I sound Lazy.

This would be the perfect day for some Roller Coaster Tycoon. Like I mentioned in my previous blog.


Basically,

My sister was kind enough to remind me of the times me and her used to play it when we were kids, the clasic one, not this smooth graphics stuff, proper pixel stuff.

She also reminded me of how evil I used to be.

For example. Here is the list of things I used to do...with the guests.

- If there was an unhappy guest, I would pick them up, and drown them. And watch them drowning. And, if i was in a desert area, I would go out my my way to pay for a block of water to be made, and that was used as my drowning pond....I seriously thought this would give my park a higher rating... :/

- There was a rollercoaster called the 'Shuttle Loop' which basically was a high speed loop the loop that went round the loop and up to a height, then came backwards into the coaster station. I could alter the speed of this coaster to 80mph. So that when the coaster carridge was full, the coaster would leave the station at 80mph, and go so fast that it would literally soar off the track, through the air, and crash land somewhere. I used to make it crash into a highly tree filled area outside the parks perimiter, so that even if the guests escaped the explosion, they would die on impact to the trees. This was simply just highly amusing.

- There was one particular day where I had two parks on the go at the same time, a massive one with lakes in and whatever, and the other was really small, and there wasn't many people in either park. So I thought, to boost numbers, I'd employ some entertainers. Of course these entertainers were either dressed as Elephants, Tigers, or Pandas. And of course, I discided to put the Pandas in the tiny park....1300 of them. Yes, 1300 Pandas, shaking their money makers for the guests. While this worked for the summer months, when December came, there was not a single guest, just 1300 dancing Pandas...and I couldn't fire any of them. This was rather halarious. Then in the big park, there was pleanty of people, but I was greedy and wanted more, so I employed 1300 Pandas, 1300 Elephants, AND 1300 Tigers, who all shook their money makers, all over the park. 1300 seemed to be the limit, but it was just halarious watching these random things jigging around in a seriously pixelly manner.

This is why I seriously would LOVE to be playing the 1st Roller Coaster tycoon RIGHT NOW.

Now I sound like a murderous freak that would seriously sort out the recession with my employment regieme... I am ace :D

I'll leave you to ponder at this now :)

Byeee :D

When I do photoshoots....my fridge does weird things.

You're now wondering what it is my fridge has done...

It sang at me.

It actually, no lie, sang at me.

It made this weird squeeky tune! Like it was so odd, I thought my phone was ringing. What a bizzare fridge.

I'm still sat here wondering what actually happened LOL!

Speaking of fridge, my house if now full of food. Horray! I will now continue to type while eating through a packet of biscuits...


Bourbon Creams if you must know!

NOTE TO SELF: STOP EATING THEM NOW. PUT THEM AWAY!


I put that up so as when I proof read this I know when to stop. How handy :)

Anyway! Photoshooooooot!

It was a success! Didn't get stabbed (surprise surprise!) or even see anyone...Was a little odd really but still, me and Rowan had the peace and quiet to get the shoot done, and leave before all the kiddies came out of school to have strange unprotected sex down in that park.

Which brings me onto my next point.

Why the utter hell were two bath tubs lying in the middle of a country lane?

Like seriously, me and Rowan walked down the wee walkway lane like thing, and we spied these two bath tubs! There was this sudden sexual feeling in the air, the sort of shameful 'I was drunk and had my first shag down here in that bath tub so as my mum didn't know...I was 14' (And no, that isn't what happened with me you dirty minded people!!) sort of feeling...me and Rowan soon left that area. It was just creepy!


And partically cause we are both as gay as it gets and nothing would ever happen!

You dirty people.


However we did manage to find a stone that looked like a really tiny penis with massive balls :D.

I photographed it :)


But can't upload it cause my internet isn't strong enough...

It can download Adobe reader and drives for my scanner but can't upload images.

Strange thing. Anyway.

Rowan has also been awesome enough to get me a family portrait booking! Sooo happy :D. 

I don't even know where the family live :D

This should be interesting LOL!


I've just looked at my bag of biscuits...

It appears that I have eaten them all.


Shit.



Why am I such a fat kid? Honestly if you put me in Burger King and had everything pre-made to how I like it, I swear I'd eat it all.

Such a fat kid.


I want Roller Coaster Tycoon.

I'm going to explain why in another blog in just a minuite.

Anyway.


For the time being I'm going to go now, before my toothache kicks in and I die of agony :D.

Bye Bye!

Thursday Photoshoot. And ASDA.

None of my settings have appeared. What the fuck? Just the word 'Link' with an underline. This now looks a little dodgey. I should refresh the page really. But can't be arsed really.

Anyway :)

I have one of my Urban/Natural shoots happening on Thursday with the lovely Rowan :). What a gem. Such short notice too! Can't wait.

I'm taking him to a place near where I live called 'Rough Park'...yes, it sounds dodgey as hell, aaaand it's in one of the dodgiest areas in Shropshire (I shall asume) but it is seriously beautiful. Just a shame it's surrounded by filth and chavs and kids who have kids and drugs and gangs and guns and fighting dogs. Totally safe.

Totally...Safe....

It helps that I'm from Northern Ireland really doesn't it LOL? The accent should be enough I'm sure :D.

But back to describing the set.

Basically. It's just a forest like walk, but with massive oven space, and some really old, fallen trees which will be where most of the photographs will be shot. As we don't have much time...I have ASDA coming LOL.

Speaking of ASDA...I am a fucking legend.

Pardon my language, but I really am.

I have managed to get one months worth of shopping...for £44! I know, you're going to think 'I spend that in a week! How the hell do you do that?'

Simple.

Starve.

:)

It's all I can do really, untill I actually start making money, and am able to get off the fucking dole. I hate the dole. I really do.

But still, survival is the key, and that's what I shall do!

Although next month I'm sure it's going to be a tough choice.

Do I eat, or pay the gas bill?

I know alot of people are facing that choice this year cause these big energy companies are charging a bloody fortune and filling their pockets.  They should give it to us less fortunate, who are trying their damn hardest to survive on nothing and trying really hard to get into work that, well, simply doesn't exist to anyone who has no expierence, or been on the dole for over 6 months.

¬¬. Typically, I am both of those things.

6000 jobs applied for, all of which I know I can do, and getting turned down consistantly. Self employed doing something I LOVE and something I know needs to happen here in my area is what's going to help me. And that is what I will do. But enough about that!

The shoot with Steven will have to wait. And I'm STILL looking for female models. Clearly they're harder to find than an employer who's willing to employ me ¬¬. 

I know I haven't blogged in DAYS but I've been busy!....Well, kind of. Digitally painting busy and having my partner over and helping her move into her new bedroom in her house :D. Furniture lifting is seriously interesting. Esp when you're asthmatic, have had to RUN LIKE FUCK to make it to a meeting on time cause the bust WOULDN'T TURN UP on either side of the meeting..like on the way there, and on the way back and I had to make sure I was in the bus station to make it for the bus that only comes ONCE AN HOUR! I would have been sooo annoyed if I was late for that. Luckily, the bus I needed was late, so after dying a little, I managed to get it, with some form of breathing going on...maybe not the healthiest breathing but I wasn't dead at least!

So I will end my rant there, and likely blog when ASDA comes, or after the shoot on Thursday!

Cheerieo everyone :)

Ps. My settings are still not showing. What the actual fuck?
