Bearded Bacon

My friend (online people count, let's not have this discussion again..) has started a Vlog. He has a sweet beard and a cute dog. He's also funny. Very funny, with a beard that makes me look in the mirror and shake my head at my facial fiasco. This is part one of what I hope will be a good run of personal thoughts, Tumblr Ask responses and dancing corgis.

The internet is your friend.

Choo Choo Chuffed to Bits

Awesome poster by Brad Heath for 'Better Off Inside'. I wish I could teleport over Con Nooga as it looks like a really fun event and, of course, it would be great to stand with the Minty Pineapple gang. The film is really great, and I say that as a watcher, not just as a writer. It's the best film I've been involved with and I really hope it shapes the way the films go from this point on. Hopefully, I can work with Joe again. That seems likely as we have already had a little chat about it. It's a fun time at the moment, we are a group of people creating films because we love it. This is where I have wanted to be for a long time and I would very much like this to continue.

Activity such as this has really helped to boost my spirits and eliminate negative elements from my life, be they people or concepts. I think I was making life harder than it needed to be by not really trying and just making do. It's more fun if you try.

Behind-the-scenes photos of the news scene for Better Off Inside



I'm sorry, there is probably going to be a lot of things like this, posted up, shared etc, so those that don't particularly care about the fun, writer side of my life, have my permission to unfriend and unfollow.

Aloofus, Aloofus...

So, it’s 2018. I’m staring down the barrel of my 40’s but with the same goofy mindset I honed in my 20’s. Mentally, it doesn’t feel as bad a...
