Back To The Old Blogging Board

Hey everyone.

I owe you an apology. I'm sorry I haven't updated this blog since..... 28th November. To be honest, there's just been so much amazing stuff going on with my life at the moment, I don't have the time or the energy to talk about everything I want to. There's the review of the decade I missed out on, the look forward to next year, the brilliant movies and television I've seen, Christmas, the Oxford interview... and so much other stuff. It would not be humanly possible to cover everything. So, instead, I'm gonna have to make some cuts.

There, I said it. Cuts. It's not that hard, is it? Don't see why the government has a problem. Although admittedly they are dealing with real people's real lives.

Anyway, yeah, I'm essentially going to cut back to two things - One, actual people-watching. Anecdotes about interesting people on the streets. But that does mean I'll be on the look out now that I'm not getting bogged down with other stuff. Secondly, as some of you may know, I've been in the proces of writing a book for about four years now, and I've recently hit the two-thirds-ish marker. So yeah, I feel ready to start getting that out there now.

I guess what it all comes down to is being creative within the confines of reality. I mean, I won't stop enthusing about all the amazing films, music etc. but I realise now that the trick to this blogging is to write about something quite specific, otherwise it spirals out of control and you aren't able to cover all the many things you've branched out into. So this blog now deals mainly in real people and the real thoughts that they bring up. And I'll start by revealing my real name. I've thought about this and I've decided that as long as its just my first name, I'm safe from internet fraud and paedophilia. Besides, there are millions of people in the world with the same name as me.

So I'll see 'ya round.

James
