Classroom Bell Syndrome

3 09 2009

I always find it amazing that everyone in class knows exactly when to start packing up their books and papers, especially when there are no clocks in the room. It’s never just one person and then another, creating a snowball effect either. It’s everyone but me, all at once, just picking up their stuff and putting it away.
I’m did a show last Saturday and will be posting the choice photos onto my Flickr and up here in the next couple of days. Just trying to find some time to edit them in between class and work.

Keeping it short today.

I got a chance to play historian this weekend at a friend’s video shoot. I’m glad that I did it, if for no other reason other than the fact that I screwed up so many times.

I completely forgot to bring a second lens, had trouble deciding on the lighting and kept snapping a second too late and ending up with something out of focus or just completely uninteresting. After a bit of that awkwardness and getting over the fact that I’d have to shoot in a small space with the wrong lens, I was able to adapt enough to get some great shots and have quite a bit of fun. As much fun as curling up in a bathtub, praying that you don’t accidentally turn on the shower, inadvertently drowning your camera, your dreams and yourself can be anyway.

I’ve gotten an idea for something that I will be working on over the next few days and weeks. I will try and post a photo on a regular basis, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the “writes” of “Holdenwrites” becomes inaccurate. At least for a little while.

I promise that I’ll update when something interesting does happen. I will most certainly try and get a review for Mega Man 9 up, no promises though.

In the beginning, there wasn’t much…

Yours truly.

Yours truly.

For a long time now, I’ve been trying to come up with a good theme for a blog. Something that would grab a reader and keep them coming back for more.  This would, hopefully, translate into high traffic which would allow me to reach a large audience with my wit, charm and penchant for telling stories that make you laugh whilst tugging on the occasional heart-string. The high traffic would also allow me to get advertisers, which in turn, would put some money in my pocket, and let’s not lie to ourselves here, just about everyone could use a bit more money.

But after many months of pondering, I’ve yet to come up with something concrete enough to blog about. It does make sense I suppose: I’ve never really excelled at any one thing, so much as I’ve been very good at several things. I’m definitely more of a Jack-of-all-trades than I an authority on any particular subject. I will therefore provide the best service I can to you, my readers.

This blog will contain my most random of thoughts, videogame and movie reviews, the occasional piece of pop culture analysis, the even more occasinal comedic skit, photos that I’ve taken and of course my opinion of current events. I will do my best to keep a schedule, and with any luck I should be able to find a system that works for me.

Thanks for reading that incredibly insipid block of text, I assure you that it will get better.
