When are you most creative? 0
Filed in Ramblings
When are you most creative? I find that In the morning when I wake up a million thoughts fly through my head. Sometimes totally random things. Also, I always, always have a song that repeats over and over. How annoying is that!! especially when its an annoying song! and where do these songs come from? from the telly or the radio? what if there’s no sound about? then where? from the dreams you have? My most creative time is after i’ve spent 30 minutes looking through my rss feeds and inspirational sites such as Computerlove. I love that god damn site!

plans for 21 years time 0
Filed in Ramblings
Since I’m nearly 21 and my best mates already had a kid it got me thinking. Wouldn’t it be an interesting idea that around my idea I get a camcorder and basically talk about what its like for me being 21. The highs and the Lows, the incredible feeling of doing/learning/achiving something new.
Amsterdam 1
Filed in Ramblings
Returned from a trip to ‘dam yesterday. A perfect break to recharge my batteries. I can’t describe to you how much of an adventure it was. Its not the first time I’ve been but this time round was brilliant. I think Amsterdam is the only other place apart from Manchester I could live. Not because of the relaxed laws but because of the relaxed attitude of the people there. Bikes have the right of way in front of cars. That says it all really.
Lovely you found my blog. I’m a design and build creative from the glorious Manchester. Lets talk design! keep in the loop and add the site to your rss reader.
