The Fall Of Winter, The Awakening Of Spring.

Every day when I go to work in the early morning, it is always dark. Im heading out in the night, which I don't really like to be honest. Knowing that the majority of people are asleep when Im heading out to work, in the dark is never a nice feeling. However, I always feel better when going to work, when its spring or summer, for one reason, to witness dawn. Sometimes dawn can make any bad day look beautifully good, and I get the feeling as if the sun is putting on a private show for me and the rest of the people that have to go to work so early in the morning.

A picture? YES!

This was the other feature that I forgot to mention whilst listing all the updates to the Weekly Changy. A picture will now be implemented on all Weekly Changy blogs!

THIS WEEK

Once again, this week has been as busy as ever. I guess thats one thing that will never change... not being busy through a university semester. I have found myself recently dong a lot of planning. Lots and lots and lots of planning, planning that is work related and socially related. We all need to plan ahead, for when the time comes, we will be ready, and thats what I have been doing, a lot of planning. The work related planning is the planning of my Television Production's group to produce an 'as live' 10 minute DIY teleshopping programme. Believe me reader, what you watch on TV, has a lot of planning than you can ever imagine. To plan this, is to do a lot planning. Just typing about this has reminded me, have I mentioned the group that I am in? ... You do? ...... You dont? ....... Well come on now make your mind up! ..... okay Im going to tell you anyway. My Television Production group consists of: James Dye, Kenneth Barnett, James Chew, Lewis Carter, Abigail Armstrong, Patricia Costache and myself. Some names here may seem familiar to you, I know, we all know Kenneth, the chap whom has been mentioned numerous times in my posts. James Chew, you remember him right? he was in my Radio Production group too, and Abigail Armstrong, whom is like a celebrity on this blog, you remember? she's a robot pirate of course you remember her. 

So we're all at this stage where we are on the brink of practical work, because of a lot of planning. This part of programme making always is a joy for me, to go out and do the filming. Its like your parents telling you, you can go outside and play because you've done all of your homework. A joyful feeling.

FESTIVAL TALK GOING ON

The planning for social and entertainment is planning for this years upcoming festivals. For me though, the festivals with the best dance music lineup is the festival for me, just like a good other million people. In my festival history I was there at Creamfields 2010, which was my first festival. Brilliant, amazing lineups and loads of them, and good weather. Then there was Global Gathering 2011. Unbelievable. lineup was great, a lot of trance artists, and best of all, artists that, at the time, I had never heard of I.E Zedd. The weather was like being in spain, which did me a lot of good considering I never got to go on holiday last year, however I don't think it did Dave Collins any good since he returned pink. The most recent was Creamfields 2011. Not Great. Creamfields 2011 showed me the bad side to the festival. 50,000+ people there, we arrived a day late, the weather was the worst I have ever seen it in britain, to date. The mud was also so bad that Dave Collins got stuck ordering a drink and had to be pulled out by two guys, and there also various YouTube videos of very drunk people swimming in it. Theres a lot more events that occurred at that festival however I shall save my fingers the duty of explaining. However if you email the Weekly Changy via Gmail, I will be happy to tell the tale!

So whats planned?

Well still planning at the moment. One thing is certain though. I will be returning to Global Gathering again this year. I have already accepted that It probably wont be as good as I remember it, but I have good expectations for the festival. As always, my rave wizard, Dave Collins will be going too, but this year there are more people that I know that are interested in going which is delightful. I have a slot of time off in august primarily for a festival. However Im in a tug of war with myself. Its either, Creamfields 2012, or South West Four. Which on should I go for? and which festival are you heading to this year? Get in touch!  

KONY 2012

You dont know? if you manage to get onto this webpage and not notice this going on, then I would be surprised. If you havent watched the main viral video that everyone seems to be watching at the moment, I would suggest you do, to be in the know.

My honest opinion on this matter is that his crimes are without doubt dreadful and disgusting. Whilst finding out what he has done over the years kept making me think of my Media Ethics lecture. Tony Delahunty, my lecturer, once said that you will encounter people in your life who's ethics are constructed completely differently to yours, in a way that those ethics cannot be understood. My thoughts are if Joseph Kony believes that what he is doing is wrong. We may look upon him with shame, disgust and disgrace to what he has done, however Kony has been doing this since 1982, and before and after, his ethics are built up completely differently to ours.

The main segment of the information I got about Kony that puzzles me the most, is that he is number 1 on the ICC list. For reference, Muammar Gaddafi was number 24 and we all know what happened to him. What puzzles me is that if he is number 1 on the list, surely he is of a big priority to stop, so why havent they done it already? and why have they had to setup a charity and branding to stop him?

Ill leave you with that, I think

Hello Weekly Changy My Old Friend, I've Come To Talk With You Again...

Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, 

And the vision that was planted in my brain, 

Still remains, within the sound of silence

(Simon & Garfunkel: 'Hello Darkness My Old Friend' justsomelyrics.com)

Before I even start, I would like to bid you all a fine hello, because it has been a while since my last post. From the previous post, to now is a big shift in time to be honest. A lot has been accomplished in the past days, so much so that you could fit all of the events into a film.... a very long one!

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT, FOR WEEKLY CHANGY.

Well I hope it is anyway, after a very inspiring lecture recently in my New Media Production lecture, there are to be some updates done for the weekly changy. First of all some elements on the page are to be removed and some other is to be added and changed:

New look! 

The blue number thing that I had was pretty cool for me, but its time for a new look, and so I hope you like the new look, if you don't then email me on your views, they are very much appreciated, I will enjoy reading your emails, as much as I enjoy eating pancakes.... which is very enjoyable.

Weekly Changy... on GMAIL!

Yes, this is for you, it's all fair and well having a comment box, but now if you have any questions, opinons, or wish to simply troll then send an email! at: weeklychangy@gmail.com

Sell my soul? Hell Yeah!

Adverts will be added soon. What can I say Im a student! as annoying adverts can be, they can sometimes be helpful in finding what you want, honest. Further more you, my dear reader will be helping me out here, which will make me appreciate you all a lot more!

"So what the fuuu have you been up to all this time?"

Well to start with my work at Costco, I have continued with early morning shifts that getting a tad used to now, morning shifts that, when your Television Production lecturer comments on my shifts with comments such as "Gosh, thats...... not like a student." Very true Michael Dyer, by the way reader, if you ever get to meet Michael Dyer, I would suggest approaching him and say: "Studio 60, is a poor representation of studio work, and is the worst example to show students, and should never be watched when in a lecture" and then watch as he quickly begins defending it. Going back to work at Costco, since I got completely side-tracked there. I have been, amazingly, turning up for work, early in the morning, doing the work needed, and then going home, and I have been doing that astonishing routine since the previous post, and so far have not stopped, same in same out, nothing to report to you, captain. 

During that exciting routine of Costco work, there can be a lot said about University work. The end.

Ha! Couldn't help myself there, well I would like to announce to you that I completed, and handed in the New Media Production Minor Assignment of 1,500 words, as well as the Media Ethics Minor Assignment of originally 1,500 words but really it was changed to 1,000 but really the lecturer wanted 1,200 but really I did 1,320 so I'll let you decide how many words was needed. So if you've been wondering why I havent posted in a long time, that is why. To continue University work, I have been continuing my Television Production work. What started as I can best describe as a:

 'Vertical Un-advanced crushed cellular dramatic horizontal binding black cosmos microwave'

Which describes that it started badly. Now though, there is a snippet of progress through all of the disagreements and arguments. We have a script in progress, as well as a completed plan of set design and have had various practice runs in the studio. However, at this stage, I think this is not enough, the only set back for us is having to stop everything, and watch TV would you believe. What some may think as a glorious activity to have in a lecture, is not the best activity when your trying to work to a deadline.

Hello 

Goodbye

I'm B.U.S.Y

B - Biting the ends of my fingers. A bad and not very nice habit I must admit, the effect of this is from stress to be honest. I am in these situations where I am needed to do a lot, and I just do it to pause myself and to think for a moment, I only ever do it when it comes to bad situations or when I am so busy I need to time to stop and think.
U - Understanding what I have to do. Once again I have multiple pieces of work to do,  all these pieces of work are stitched together that I can only describe as a heavy coat that my brain is wearing through the heavy rain. I know what I have to do, but if you try and tackle it all at one single period of time, it gets you down, especially when there are other events that happen day in day out that you are not happy with, events with work, events with Abigail and so on.
S - Stressing out at times. Little specific things in my current semester at the moment that form together that make into a symbolic stress identification. Television Production group disagreements, we all talk over each other, some do not understand others, some do not pay attention to important information, some state ideas and comments that someone else has already said, some make arguments out of nothing, some disagree with your view or opinion with no reason. With so much confusion and misunderstanding, I may as well speak French from now on.
Y - Yawning a lot because recently, in my work, I have been enduring a lot of early morning shifts. These would be times where not many students would wake up for work lets put it that way. I seem to be doing it a lot more than usual, I wake up very early, and find myself exhausted in the evening, which leaves me little inspiration to do any kind of work.

B.U.S.Y - Quite frankly my good reader, I know you may take enjoyment out of reading my posts, especially when they have light hearted entertainment about my life, but to be honest I am and feel so busy I struggle to think, I struggle to remember to eat can you believe it or not. I would like to officially announce that I wont be posting for a while, or better put, I wont be posting week by week, which I think you've gathered by the lack of posts anyway. I am hoping the next time I post I will have most of my work done, and I can get back to really dishing out some interesting aspects of my life. Right now I don't even know where to start to tell you what's been happening, my mind is a blur. Ill post to you soon reader, bye.
