I did one

I haven't updated this blog or my website in a while. That's mainly because I've been working on a performance thing and I've forgotten about you. Sorry.

I did a sort of demo version of what I'm working on, which was 12 minutes long, to a group of about 10 people in a classroom with a projector and sound and all that and it went well. People laughed in the right places, so I'm now working on expanding it to an hour and getting the narrative better sorted out. Also, I'm looking for places to perform it.

Usually when I go out into the real world and film things and take pictures they end up on this blog, but I've been hogging them for my ART. I am selfish. Anyway, here's a photo from it. It probably wont give you any clue as to what the show is about, but that's the nature of being obscure isn't it.


Hopefully I can make the leap from useless internet content provider, to performing useless content provider and I will never see any of you ever again. Of course I'm joking. In part.

(Berating the reader is a tactic I commonly employ to add a hint of sarcasm to things I secretly don't mean but sometimes sort of do)

I do love you though, unconditionally.

Christmas Cracker Leftist Loonacy

I saw this article today in The Sun newspaper. Please read it. 



I for one am disgusted. I remember the bygone days when you could read racist, sexist,disabled-ist or homophobic jokes in Christmas crackers. I remember once, sitting around the dinner table on December the 25th, my whole family were in hysterics over a joke about a black, Muslim, wheelchair-bound, gay woman who walked into a bar. I can't remember the punchline though. Offensive jokes have become a part of my family's Christmas tradition and I can't believe we have to tolerate this PC rubbish. 

I'm writing this in the hope that you'll agree with me and help me fight this limp, left wing loonacy by sending an email to Alex West complaining that political correctness has finally gone TOO FAR. I for one will be sending him an email, that's for sure. 


Hopefully he'll have the good sense to print my email so the whole of Britain can have an opportunity to WAKE up from this Political Correctness NIGHTMARE. 

I just hope he doesn't mind that I got his name wrong...

Photographing Strangers & Posing

Hello.

It's been a while hasn't it? I'm sorry that I haven't updated "Things with Tits On" but it seems there really aren't that many things to put tits on. There's probably about 7 or 8 things, and I've already done 5 of them. If I find the other 3 I'll let you know.

I have been spending most of my time writing a show. Ooh, get me! A show? How can I write a show? What kind of show? Well, when I saw "show" I mean it in it's loosest term. Basically, I am writing something that I intend at some point to take to a stage. I don't know what kind of stage. A wooden one probably, but I'll settle for other surfaces. Also, when I say "writing" what I mean is going out filming things, recording audio, taking photos of strangers and things of that nature, because the show in question will be a multimedia production. There are written bits too and I do intend to speak. Think Dave Gorman, minus the jokes but with an awkward tranny on stage instead of Dave Gorman. I'm sorry I'm not Dave Gorman!

The desire to do a show has mainly come about due to a little thing in my brain that keeps telling me to do a show. Also, I'm pretty used to being stared at by people I don't know, so what difference does it make if I'm on a stage? I don't know if it will pass as comedy. If you laugh, it's comedy. If you don't, it's high art and you just don't get it because you're a fucking idiot who likes Michael MacIntyre and all that yeah? You can off anyway, I'm late for an exhibition at the Southbank. (That last bit was a joke. See, maybe it won't be so bad after all)

I'm not under any delusions of grandeur. I don't have a fan base, and why should I? I don't even like me very much. But if people do show up, I will do the show. I might even get a pocket projector and do the entire show in randomised places in South London, like a travelling circus of depression. It would be free though, and I might bring a bag of broken biscuits just in case it goes tits up.

I also started a little picture blog today. I know I start something new almost every day and never get around to maintaining them (see "things with tits on blog") but I'm quite partial to this, so might carry it on. I am carrying on things with tits on though.

Anyway, click HERE

Thanks for reading all this rubbish and I hope you now have a better idea of what I've been up to. What do you mean "who?"? Me. You know... Me. ME. I'm pretty important...

Unpopular Month

Twitter is shit. That's what I've managed to conclude after doing over 2000 tweets myself, so it might be a late observation but that doesn't make it any less accurate. Twitter was developed in 1997 by Sir Stephen Fry in order to help manage his many sexual partners from the years 1982 to 1998. Everyone else then just followed.


I think the best tweet I ever did was "I'm hungry" I'm proud of that one because it displays an honest feeling. I really was hungry. I went and had a peanut butter sandwich after I tweeted that. 

Over the past month I have been documenting the people who have unfollowed me. Here they are in a list

(1)


This is Jade Raad. "Trouble maker at channel 4" She followed me for a week or so, but then she unfollowed me. I'm not sure why. I remember following her back out of a pathetic need to be in contact with someone at channel 4. A quick google search of her name has shown me that she could be the Sponsorship Executive for the program "Misfits" on E4. I thought Misfits was shit anyway. 

(2)


This is Richard. He's 30 something years old. I can't remember if I ever spoke to him on Twitter, but when he unfollowed me I cried for hours and hours. I took his unfollow particularly to heart because of his beautiful smile. How could he do that? What a bastard. 

(3)


Ah Darren. "One Wife, two sons and I'm an Aston Villa fan for my sins" Sound like a cunt anyway. 

(4)


W.A Gibson has a quote from the film Raising Arizona on his twitter description. I do not miss him.

(5)


Burlesqueking only followed me for a few days. He has a girlfriend. I learnt this from his twitter page. We never had long enough to properly know each other. I'm presuming he followed me by accident. If not, he's playing games with my heart.

(6)


Auntipax. This one hurt. I have had brief communication with Pax. Re-tweets, @ back and forths. I must have said something to offend her. When I saw she had unfollowed me, I held my hand on my oven hob for 30 seconds to distract my mind from the pain in my heart. 

So, they were the people who unfollowed me this month. If you want to avoid ever being on this list, never follow me. If you do decide to follow me, then don't ever unfollow me. Tune in next month for more.

Dr Kayden

Omegle is a very interesting website. Basically, it links you with a complete stranger and if they aren't an automated robot that wants to direct you to a hard-core sex website, you can end up having conversations with all sorts of different people.

I am quite fond of playing a completely improvised on the spot character on Omegle. I am vowing to never play the same person twice. Here is my first attempt, in a conversation I had with a Dr Kayden.


You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!

And that was our conversation. Pretty special wasn't it? Now I can develop that into a script, sell the rights to Universal Pictures and secure a big fancy pay cheque as a screen writer in Hollywood.
