Three weeks now done at Passion Pictures. Really enjoyed working there and got in to a good groove. I should hopefully be going back after a stint at Lion TV.
Big hair is big.
Got to see my sister at her degree show showing off her work. All great stuff and very proud of her for getting a first. Only problem is I have to now top that! Grr!
Back to Bournemouth for a week to pick up on bar work and then back in London it is for another three weeks at home and early morning train travel. The death of my brain.
I don’t mind the fast train to East Croydon, so I might actually look in to feasibility of a bus to Croydon in the morning and then getting on the 15 odd minutes train. The constant stop start and slow rocking sends me to sleep. I also do not fit well in a train chair. Far too broad shouldered and my knees poke way out of the comfortable commuter zone chart for sitting opposite strangers.
Been changing my fashion recently. I am shunning sweatshop worked items as I feel they do not represent the true cost of materials on this earth. I would rather pay £15-20 and have one great t-shirt produced by a worker being paid the correct amount for the materials and labour they invest. Than to pay £10 for three poor quality tees and be funding an unsustainable, abusive method of human exploitation.
My ideals of vegetarianism that I base my life on are slipping away to an even bigger problem I want to tackle. Me being a vegetarian is a drop in the ocean compared to the exploits of the human race. Which includes the suffering of animals.
People need to face up to the real cost of things in our world. As consumers we are too happy to buy our food and meat from supermarkets for example and have become lazy. I intend to shape and discipline myself better through the growing of my food and discipline in purchasing habits. This is my new outlook.
Existing in the current world and the industries I (and others) work in I feel becoming a ‘freegan’ or attempting to shun society and it’s ways is not possible. Am I really going to put down my iPhone, stop listening to music, my iMac or even the kettle? Not a chance. I couldn’t do that. I have trouble enough securing work, relationships, willingness to push on in life, and self-promotion with my gadgets helping me. Without them I would be a hermit.
I aim to promote a life of balance between the two variants of life, meeting in the middle, an equal share of giving and taking.
