So I decided on doing a blog

Hi I'm James Taylor,

I'm a 23 year old that lives in Birmingham, England and I decided on doing a blog. So why am I doing this well: a) probably too much time on my hands, b) I'm not sure if my mind works slightly differently from others as I do have some random view points on issues and surroundings. C) This is the best way to get my ideas onto something other than stuck in my head lol.

So now I'm thinking to myself how the hell do I start one of these? Is it like an online diary? Or is it just a way of venting my frustrations? But however I write my blogs I apologise now if I ever offend or if I just don't make any sense. I tend to go on a tangent. Quite liking writing a blog (Me thinking to myself). Okay it's a new year well 25 days too late but never too late to write a blog and how is it for me so far? Well I've set myself goals:

1. Sort life out
2. Get a job in the media
3. Get documentary sorted out
4. Sort out finances
5. Eat better and stay fit
6. Be productive each day
7. Get better with after effects, illustrator, photoshop, 3ds max etc

So those are my goals and I must say I've been getting on well with them. I'm actually doing it. With the minor blips here and there but January is not over yet.
About me, well I'm currently a weekend supervisor at Schuh in Birmingham on the high street and I say I do some freelance video and motion graphics but haven't done any since towards end of last year. Hence goal number 2 (yeah have a look up there). I went to university in Leicester at De Montfort Uni and studied BSc Media Production, which I got a 2.1. Those were a great 3 years of my life away from home and basically lived the dream, bummed about occasionally, then again I was at uni and whoever didn't do any of those things clearly haven't lived the uni dream. O yeah I'm originally from London and just recently found out I'm half Scottish crazy when I've always thought I was half English and Filipino. But that situation is a long story. My interests are film, video, TV shows, Motion Graphics, comics, design, art and Manga/Anime.

Might as well blog my general observations of the day,
well on the way to work on the bus can you picture your stereotypical gambler:
in a suit, slightly dirty, top bottom undone with a tie that looks like it was just bought from Oxfam. Had an unwashed unkempt look about him with slightly messy hair the look of, got out of bed and put on the closest thing to him. That's right the suit. With slight case of dandruff on his shoulders, do you know how I know this because he sat in front of me. So how many of you would class this guy as a gambler? Your probably thinking how can you make such an assumption? Well the fact he took out a folder labelled fixtures and times. On closer inspection he had a syndicate, for you that don't gamble or not aware of gambler's addiction. This would be a table of the days footy fixtures and he would then mark on it scores etc for the day in which he would place the bet. This clearly was not a one off as he had a fair few clearly not caring about the recession or just times are hard and key word here GAMBLING. Anyway that was not all he took out a paper and first thing he went to yeah that's right the horses page. I wonder how his day went.

That was my morning then I had to work. As I work in retail you kind of realise how retarded the public are. Maybe it's me the cynic or maybe I'm just a well observant person but man you can't but help laugh at some people. OK here's the scenario guy comes in (I work in a shoe shop by the way). Guys searching for shoes on the sale rack and then asks me
"have you any other sizes?"
I reply
"Yeah, what size are you after?"
OK seems like a harmless question, but wait staring him in the face is a sign that says SALE, with bold writing that says:
Other sizes available!
not sure if the ! was there lol. I'm not sure if this guy or numerous guys do it on purpose or just generally retarded how can you not miss the big bold writing of OTHER SIZES AVAILABLE. Hence my frustration with the general public. You want to hear something even worst than that:

"Have you got a sale on?"

Yes people do actually say that when there are banners in the windows, signs around the shop and sale racks blocking there path to get to me to ask that very question. What doe's this say about the public hmmmmmmmmmmm? I'll leave that to yourself to decide you might actually think twice before you ask a sales assistant a question.

So is this a proper blog then? I'm not quite sure, thought I'd ease myself in with just an easy case of ranting about shopper's habit's and general observation on a bus.

Hopefully I can write more stuff I actually quite like doing this so I think it definitely will be a recurring thing so watch this space.

Observation James

p.s Man, I wrote allot.
