Off to Uni... Again
Posted Aug 18, 2005
LAst week I applied for a course in Blackmsithing and got accepted, it sounded interesting but the guy kept insisting I should be doing a degree at my age as I already A-levels, 3 to be exact and one AS from the way back when of 2001 I was the first year through the curiculum 2000 and got in total 380 points from my results not including general studies which I didn't do.
Anyways, I thought about not going back to college where I was and decided to try something different. that was why I applied at the last minute for blacksmithing... then yesterday I was looking through the courses that would be on clearing today and found out that 3D design had places, so I decided to apply as soon as clearing opened, that would be 8:30 this morning at UCLAN before most people had managed to get their results by 9am I had a place on the course even though I haven't had an interview and they haven't seen my portfolio.
So come September I will once again be a University student heading towards trying to make a living... in something I really want to do.
Well I have to go... see you all later

Over a year
Posted Aug 8, 2005
It has been over since I put my first poem on HooToo, in 3 days it will be a year since my first poem went in the post...
Since I started writing poetry a little over a year ago I have written over 1000 poems. Thats right 1000 but the thing is I didn't reach that until last month even though I had written the first 700 or so by this last December, meanig I could I written so many more than I did but {I had no time to do so but nevermind, it is not a problem.
So many things ahve happened since I started writing, I started down the art path in life, got engaged, finished many projects at college, ut I still have a lot to do over the next year to try and get as close to triple distinction as I possibly can, I already have one distinction, but I need 12 I think to get a triple overall, meaning I have to grade very high, I will find out about photography when I get back to college in september.
My time spent on the site has decreased again, and I still don't have much to show for it. when I have something to show I will put it up on the web and show you all.
bye for now

Where is the rain?
Posted Aug 8, 2005
Where is the rain?
when I need it most
I need its sweet freedom
Its cleansing power
I wish for the fresh air
that comes along with rain
I need, I want, I desire
I need that air today
to fill my lungs and my soul
Where is the rain?
Where does it hide?

The rain
Posted Jul 28, 2005
Though the rain is cold and harsh
With the beating of the wind
Thrashing against my unweathered skin
Makes me feel so awake and alive
As only happens when I do work
Yes my work tempers me
As does the rain strengthen my skin
and Bring what I know as life to me
I love the rain from the autumn season
Yet it comes early just for me
So then my life will be mine
The life that I don't often feel
As I drift through my minds haze
The rain awakened me today
So then I could see

A strange letter
Posted Jul 27, 2005
yes that would be the letter Z...
okay so that isnt the sort of letter I mean... Today I got a letter from the University College London sayin more or less that I had an unconditional offer to study Biochemical Engineering down with them in London... Why on earth have I, a hater studying science got a place there when I never even thought about applying? apparently it is because I have maths physic and chemstry and the art qualification I am doing gives me diversity. well it was a good laugh if nothing else, I will not be applying there, not unless they paid me vast amounts of cash so then I could pretend to study the subject whilst really studying.
They even said I could have a private tour around the uni... strange people.
Well now I have been headhunted for a science course I can only wait to see how many art courses want to head hunt me because of my vast scientific qualifications
yeah right. I am not doing science and I am not studying in London full stop, I would much rather study in Scotland.
Well I better go hide from the headhunters
it is my head not theres
