Sorry for the neglect.

Okay, so it's not been the best start to a blog in history. The truth is I have been on a top secret assignment and even saying this is probably too much...It's got nothing to do with forgetting that I set up a blog, forgetting the password, or laziness. I'm glad to see that what I wrote about at the start of the year is still relevant. This morning I hit my head on the wall while in bed. I still feel strongly about the padded walls.

I'm going to take it more seriously from now on and I will talk about my progression as a screenwriter, funny things that happen in my day to day life, as well as anything else I find inspiring or interesting.

For me to fill you in on everything that has happened over the last few months would be crazy so I'll give you a little taster on something that still haunts me to this day....One afternoon I was getting ready for work, grabbed my car keys and headed for the door. When I opened it, I saw at what I first thought to be a lost blind girl standing on the doorstep (it turned out she just had a wonky eye). She hadn't rang the doorbell or anything, it was quite a shock to see her there. Thinking she was in trouble I said "Hey...are you okay? Are you lost?" she said "I'm here to view the house." She continued to stare at me not saying anything else (At least I think she was looking at me, it was hard to tell). My Landlord had forgot to tell me that someone was coming. Anyways, after an uncomfortable silence, I told her that I was just on my way to work but she could wait inside for the landlord. She simply said "It's okay, I'll just stand here"."uh...okay" So I sidestepped the girl (she didn't move), closed the door, got in my car and left. I have no idea how long she stayed there for...If you live in Bournemouth, watch out for her! She could be waiting to view your house as you read this!!!

Till the next one x

P.S If anyone has any tips about the blogging world please send them my way. Thanking you.

The reason for my blog

Hello blogging world! This is my first attempt at writing a blog – this will be interesting. So, I decided to start writing this blog because I always get asked “what goes on inside your head?” or “ I’d love to be inside your head for a day!”.

The reason people ask me these questions is because of the things that escape my mouth. A standard situation for me goes something like this…Picture a table or room full of people, deep in intellectual discussion, you may notice there is some weird little creature deep in thought not saying much…yep that’s me. I won’t even be listening to the conversation (due to my low attention span) then I will blurt out the first thing that comes to my head regardless of whether its related or appropriate to the current topic of conversation or social situation. This usually results in a moment of silence while everyone mulls over the words. Then they all look at me for a moment and begin to wonder whether I have padded walls in my bedroom or if I am out on day release. The answer to both of those is no. However, going back to padded walls, they do sound tempting. I imagine it would be like living inside a bouncy castle – why let the mentally insane have all the fun, that’s what I say anyway! Not only the bouncy castle thing but… no more smashing my face on the wall when I accidentally try to get out the wrong side of my bed…Instead nothing but padded bliss for my sleepy face.

Okay so moving on from the padded walls and back to the original point of the blog…My mind sometimes digresses, you see.

So going back to the question “what goes on inside your head?” for many years there has been much speculation. A friend of mine Neil Young (Coincidence) believes there is a la la la la elevator esk kind of music constantly playing. In an ideal world my life would be like the movie Being John Malkovich and people could buy tickets to a secret door that allows them to enter my mind and see the world how I see it. There would be bean bags too…obviously.

Stepping back into reality, I think this blog is the closest thing you’re going to get to Being Johnny G (see what I did there?). So this blog is for you guys and the only way to find the answer to the question of “what goes inside my head?”.

Hope you enjoy.
