<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;"><i>Introduction</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Hello all! I hope you’ve been keeping well. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In this day and age, it is becoming easier and easier to make your own stuff without huge financial investment. With reasonably cheap yet great quality cameras, willing participants and the understanding of story telling, you can really produce some fantastic stuff. Yes, of course it won’t be the greatest quality in comparison to Hollywood but, you shouldn’t have to compare it to the pinnacle, not just yet anyway. It’s all about the experience and having fun! Well, I say that, making it good enough to be proud of is also a huge goal.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">So, to talk about something I’m proud of that I’ve made, LOOK AT MY NEW BABY! Kidding, sort of. As many of you are aware of (as I don’t stop talking about it), I’ve been making a show with my good buddy <a href="https://twitter.com/crunchynut93" target="_blank">Ryan Watson</a> called ‘Two Housemates’. The reason why I bring it up is because I wanted to show you all a few photos and to say how it’s all going!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;"><i>The Basis of Two Housemates</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The show is an absurd comedy about an introverted actor called Ryan, who is denying his own loneliness even though his friends and family are constantly mentioning it (not based on me, I know I'm lonely... Ladies). As a way to help pay for the increase in rent, Ryan’s Mother (who is also the one raising the rent), gives Ryan a new housemate. The quirky, happy go lucky, Kate (played by the lovely <a href="https://twitter.com/_lucyroberta" target="_blank">Lucy Chappell</a>). The episodes follow their developing friendship, as she slowly get’s Ryan out of his shell.</span></div>

It is indeed an absurd comedy but, the whole show is played as natural and fast paced as possible. That way, when something truly absurd is happening, it becomes that much more nuts!</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;"><i><br />Quick Talk on the Experience</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0px;">We’ve done about 9 filming days so far, with another 4 left until it’s all finished! This wasn’t the original plan, we thought we’d only have to do 9. This and so many more learning curves have really made this one of the greatest experiences I could ever have as somebody who wants to be involved in the entertainment business. As an actor, I really have taken everything that has gone into making a show for granted. Of course, it isn’t our job to think about anything other than the role, direction, where the camera is etc. But, as somebody who has been working as an Actor/Creator/Writer/Producer/Casting Director/White Guy for the web series, it's been one hell of an experience. Even though it's a lot of pressure, I'd definitely do it again. Which I will.</span><br />

The amount of stuff that he has to deal with from me is crazy. The daft, funky and sometimes mental ideas that I’ve thrown at Ryan would easily make any other director terrified, with Ryan, the reaction was always “let’s see what we can do”. Well, maybe he responds with a slightly more worried sound but, it always worked out in the end. Guns can be a great motivator. Seriously though, the guy is fantastic!</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Guys! I went to the screening a few weeks back and watched the 1st ep and the 6th ep of the new series. It’s brilliant! They’ve really upped everything in terms of jokes, storyline and acting. Now that the characters have been established after the first series, they can now play in the world in which Bernadette Davis has created. It’s fantastic and I really strongly implore you to watch it! The premiere for Series 2 starts on the 30th of September at 10pm on BBC Three. I make a little cameo in one of the episodes, won’t say which one but, it was fun to film! </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;"><i>Introduction</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Well hello!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I hope you’re all well and living life to the full (and other things that those who are trying to be supportive without receiving direct response would say). This blog will be about the second series of my podcast (I’ll also do small updates about 'Which is Witch?', 'Two Housemates' and 'Some Girls' as well).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;"><i>One on Young</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I was genuinely so pleased with how the first series was received that doing a second series was inevitable. The podcast will be coming back on the 6th of June! So, what to expect from this series? FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, YOU SINNERS. Better sound, more guests, more ridiculous games and it’s going to be a whole lot more interactive with you guys. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">And by interactive I mean that I’ll give you a shoulder massage while you listen/will be doing a QNA every podcast. I’ll be answering a few questions during the introduction and if you want, I’ll be asking the guest your questions as well! So, say I announced that Dave will be on the podcast, and if you love Dave, you can send me the question with the demand that you want Dave to answer it. Unless Dave has a restraining order against you, and me asking “how his cat is” would bring up nasty memories for Dave, then, I won’t ask him your question. Here’s an example of how your questions may sound!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">“I’ve got a question here from “your twitter name/tumblr name/your actual name” and she asks “does the sound of drowned meowing still haunt your dreams? By the fact that Dave is now in a corner weeping, I’d say yes”.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Also, starting July, I’ll be doing a podcast exclusively for you guys! Every third week I’ll be answering ANY question, I will play ANY game (that requires just one person) and so on! Hell, I might even have an increasingly awkward Skype conversation on air with you!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">How can you send in your questions? I hear you say through my listening device, well it’s simple, you just have to convert to the Church of Sean. You can either mention me (<a href="https://twitter.com/SeanJosephYoung" target="_blank">@SeanJosephYoung</a>) on Twitter with #AskSeanOOY. Send me a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SeanJosephYoungactor" target="_blank">message via my Facebook site</a>, <a href="http://seanjosephyoungactor.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">message me on Tumblr</a> or email me at Oneonyoung@gmail.com. You could also ask me in person, which I will then give you the immediate response of “why are you in my bedroom and how did you get past the dog?”.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><a href="https://t.co/fRmMTPXcQa" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0px;">So, why don’t you subscribe via </span><span style="font-size: 12px;">iTunes</span><span style="font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0px;"> to my podcast before the big DAY (6TH OF JUNE, see what I did there). </span></a></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Also, if you’re interested in advertising on the podcast to help me keep it as free as we all felt after finally getting rid of Dave’s cat, email me at OneonYoung@gmail.com</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;"><i>Two Housemates</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We start filming my web series on the 7th of June! <a href="https://twitter.com/RTWFilms" target="_blank">Ryan</a> and I have done a ridiculous amount of admin in preparation so, filming will feel like a big reward after so much planning. If you’re interested in helping out, in-front or behind camera, do get in contact!</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;"><b>Introduction</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This is quite the long one, so I will make this part short (*insert dick joke that'll have you listening to Radiohead while weeping in the shower*). This is a <i>huge</i> update blog about what I’ve been up to, what I’m doing and what I’m going to do. You have no idea how lucky I feel to be given some of these opportunities, so thank you all for your continuing support. Anyway, less mush more reading, good luck!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; text-decoration: underline;"></span><br /></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The episode of the BBC 3 comedy I was in came out on December 6th and it couldn’t of gone better. The reaction was brilliant, especially on the ol' Twatter. As some people find these “behind the scenes” notes quite interesting, I’ve compiled a little one of those for you now. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<ul>
<li><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">A thing I did quite a lot with Natasha (who played Holli), to which we now still do over Twitter, is point our fingers at each other. This is a tribute of a brilliant SA who sat with us one day during lunch and would continuously point his fingers at me while laughing after most of the jokes I’d say.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<ul>
<li><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The book I was given at the bus stop scene had a fantasy style cover but, the contents inside were actually a collection of short stories about infidelity.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<ul>
<li><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The glasses constantly mentioned being of the awful variety throughout the episode were actually my own glasses. These glasses now reside on my face as I write this blog.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<ul>
<li><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The wild make out scene between Saz (played by Mandeep Dhillon) was my first day on set. So I was definitely thrown into the pool head-first there (which is a metaphor and not a</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> statement).</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<ul>
<li><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I’m in the behind the scenes video quite a lot, which is available on iTunes.</span></li>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Twitter was a great source of entertainment and love throughout the weeks afterwards. I still find it all really surreal but it really means so much to me. To all of you who have said kind words, I will find you all one day and hug you. Anyway, here’s an example of some fantastically funny/sweet comments I received! I love these guys <3!</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I will go into this properly on another blog once I’ve finished filming. But for now, I’ll just show you a few photos and tell you a little bit about what I’ve done so far. This show is one of the first tv series to be shot in 3d, which is quite fun to say! </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I’ve done a whole load of impro, more than I thought I would. Whether any of it makes the final cut, I don’t really know. We will just see nearer the time. Here is 3 examples, from the top of my head, of a bit of impro (which is in red).</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I’d be a liar if I didn’t say the most fun I’ve had on this show is scenes that involve impro, it creates such a great vibe when all the actors/crew are having fun. Which can be good as doing 26 episodes in 13 weeks can be/has been very stressful (that’s two episodes a week). It's been a great few months and I wish the actors and the very fun crew all the best for the future.</span></div>

I do love these people (Gia, Tim and <a href="https://twitter.com/Betsy_OTY" target="_blank">Betsy</a>), they've been good fun to work with. The left picture doesn't do justice on how awesome the smoking jacket I'm wearing is. The top right is from shooting on location in a pine forest for the first and last episode. The bottom left is us doing a conference during an episode called "Ruthless Gilbert". The guy in the middle is an awesome bloke called Bruce, whose always been a highlight when he comes in.<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">To say this went even better then predicted would be, well, correct. I originally did a prediction table that I would get about 400 downloads by December and about 900 by 2013. Well, January came and so did the 10000 download mark. I never in my wildest dreams (and I have some wild dreams, one example being not allowed in Argos because I had a tattoo on my elbow) did I think it would go this well. The feedback has been great and by Django (cinema reference there, tip at the door) am I pleased about how it’s all gone. You never really know how well something will do until you just do it!</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">And because it has gone so well, series 2 will be even more awesome. I’ll be planning on doing 14 episodes over 14 weeks, with some previous guests from series 1 and some completely new ones. Not only that, I will sometimes be adding musical interludes/3 part radio plays/sketches into them. Either written/sung by the guest, or I will invite a music guest on to perform.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">So a big thank you to all my guests for series 1, without you, all of this would seem pointless. Without you all, I’d just be a guy talking. And without those downloading, I'd just be a guy talking to a friend with no one to share their brilliance to.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I’ve kept this pretty quiet other than inside the inner circles (the name of my Druid/Jazz fusion club). A few months back (or one blog back, I’m about as consistent with these as referees decisions ((*chugs beer, plays with belly button, questions why single*)). But long story short, I was very insistent on being involved in the writers meetings for the last few weeks before leaving for Liege. I had sent the producer a script I wrote for the show (as an example) and emailed him talking of how I would love to be part of the show in the creative way as well. Well, he took a chance on me and let me come to the writers meetings. And well, I got involved. To the point where this happened:</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I didn’t think I’d get a full on professional TV writers credit until I was in my 30’s, no matter how persistent my desire to write has been. So having this is a huge stepping stone for me. Another thing is I’ve been promised a complete script of my own if series 2 happens, which I’m very much looking forward to. For this episode, I was part of the barebones, the construction and the creation of pages to be sent to the broadcaster. The script had to be written by the other writer (the lovely man that is <a href="https://twitter.com/BennettArron" target="_blank">Bennett Arron</a>) as I have been filming a very heavy schedule for the last 2 weeks (we had to do 18 scenes on Thursday!) but I have been editing bits, changing stuff and adding gags for the past three days. So you can play the game of, “Sean definitely wrote that bit” once it gets aired! And here’s a little easter egg, the main antagonist for the episode is called Clarissa, which was the name of my imaginary assistant during the pilot of WiW in between takes.</span></div>

I actually did a casting for this at the Pump House in Watford (many thanks to Ryan, Daniel, Rory, <a href="https://twitter.com/DeanMagee18" target="_blank">Dean</a> and of course the Pump House for helping me out) and I saw some absolutely fantastic people which made it very hard and easy at the same time.

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It’s about a failing thespian becoming the recipient of a new housemate forced upon him by his mother. It’ll be 7 short episodes written and starring myself alongside the very funny and quirky <a href="https://twitter.com/_lucyroberta" target="_blank">Lucy Chappell</a>. Will there be guest actors? Will there be surreal jokes? Will there be a huge Russian spider? You’ll have to wait, but for now here’s the teaser trailer. Just to warn you, it's explosive and action packed so, you'll have to be ready for that.</span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">To be serious for a brief moment, I have never been more determined/had more drive than I have in the last year. I can’t sit down and do nothing, I’ve got to be out there doing exactly what I want to do, and on my terms. Whether I become famous or not, it truly doesn’t matter in the long run, I’m here to be a success in what I’ve set out to do and I won’t want to stop until I feel complete. Whether that takes a year, 5 years, or my whole life, that’s what I want and believe I will achieve one day. I'm fully aware that I've still got a lot to do and learn but, that's the excitement of it all, isn't it? Other than the drugs and bitches of course (and by that I mean pills for my Crohn's and the eventual Dogs I will own as a 70 year old whimsical bearded wizard).</span></div>

<b><u><i>Introduction</i></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am currently in Belgium. Specifically, Liege. The reason is
because of an assassination gone wrong (Bruges
is actually only about 40minutes away so, will have to visit it soon). I am here filming a series called Which
is Witch, a show about a fairy and a witch that arrive in this dimension. It’s
a pretty kooky and fun show. We have just finished rehearsal as well as the press photoshoot (I did a ridiculous amount of silly poses, an example being a teddy bear roll). It’s going to get insane as soon as we start filming so, I
thought I’d throw the whole update thing in now, while I can! This blog will be about Which is Witch, Some Girls and a little thing about my brand new podcast series "One on Young" (out 6th Nov).<br />
<br />
All the photos provided about 'Which is Witch' are from the pilot by Patrick Robert.</div>

This show is the pilot I did in Paris! I’m going to be working on
this till around February 2013. During that time I will be filming 26 episodes,
which is a lot of anything to be honest. We have 3 studio spaces to play with
so the sets are huge and awesome! It's also being shot in 3d as well which added a different dimension to when I watched the pilot (I'm here all week, and the week after, and the week after, and the..).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
This is all a crazy experience as it was September 2011 that
I had a casting for the show, so it’s been a long time coming. I just can’t wait
to get stuck in. Especially as the scripts are fun and I have some great lines to deliver. I’ve
also been given the creative licence to improvise at points, which is
absolutely great and about 40% the reason why I had accepted to do the show. The producer
has a very creative friendly way of going about things, which makes this whole
process so much more unique for me and probably would be unique for about 55% of working actors
(a lot of percentages I know but, I’m 44% sure that they are precise). </div>

My character is called Gilbert. I know, pretty funky name (I would love his last name to be 'Greco'). He started off as a mainly nerdish bit role for every episode. Luckily the
producer decided that what I had done with it was good enough (along with my usual
contained extravagant self in castings)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to develop him a lot more into episodes. He’s mega erratic and very
much a genius (I invent so much crazy stuff in the episodes I’ve read so far!)
but the defining quality is his motor-mouth quirky ways. He’s going to be fun to play around with over the 26 episodes, especially as I can impro!<br />

in a band but, luckily for society (and my impending “dance related” lawsuit),
I won’t have to do much of that at all. I’m the band manager/roadie after all
(how awesome is that!). I did want to have mutton chops and a denim jacket, but
they wouldn’t let me. I’ve also asked to always wear a cape in every episode,
but they weren’t keen on that or the Viking helmet (I genuinely have asked).<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The producer also allowed me (after I showed several hints
of my keen nature towards the writing side of it) to let me sit in the writers
meetings for the show. This, without going into too much information for this
blog, has been invaluable. To watch writers who have been doing it for over 25
years has been a fantastic asset for a 20 year old aspiring writer like myself.
I’ve learnt so much, from the writing process, the brainstorming and the
necessity for group thinking and different eyes on ideas and projects. After a
few weeks of doing these meetings, I have already changed loads of my older
scripts which I had felt were put together eloquently (they really weren’t). I’ve
also gained the title of ‘Junior Screenwriter’, which is a crazy honour!</div>

I never thought I would actually be in a show like this. I
openly admit, I had reservations (I felt this way since I was 16). But just looking
at the scripts, the fellow actors (who are fantastic) and the creative accessibilities
I’ve been given, I can’t help but think “what’s not to like!” This is a perfect
opportunity to hone my craft and get as much on set experience as possible (14
weeks of filming). I’ve never felt as if I’ve learnt/experienced enough so I’m
going to grab this with both hands! All I need is for Josie Lawrence (a talented lady who was a big inspiration to do improvisation for myself) to be my
Mum in the show and it’ll be perfect!</div>

I probably will find living here for such long periods (9
weeks in Liege,
2 weeks back for Christmas and new year then 6 weeks out again) quite
difficult. Especially as I have such a great family and set of friends back
home. I’ve only been gone for two weeks (from the time I wrote this) and I’m already missing them. I just wanted to say that I love you all and I
can’t wait to see you when I’m back.</div>

If any comfort for those who may miss me, I’m having a
great time. I’m finally doing something that I had dreamt about for years upon
years, I’m waking up and acting. </div>

I was recording during my last two weeks in England for my
casual interview style podcast “One on<br />
Young”. These will be released from the
start of Some Girls (6<sup>th</sup> November) and will be available to download
for free from Itunes. Without giving too much away, this series has 7 1h
average long episodes with my actor/creative type friends. It is filled with: Valuable
actor information (an actors approach to a role, the way they think), strange/humorous talky times and the ‘2 Truths 1 Lie’ game.
I’ve used the game as a way of the listener to get to know my guest and just
the fact that it shows off some improvisation<i>.</i> It’s genuinely fun to listen to
and I’m not just saying that. It was a really stressful and yet worthwhile
thing to do and I can’t wait to be able to show you them all!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Hello all! It’s been a good few weeks since I last blogged. What I left you with on the last blog was an update about the three projects I was/am involved in. This blog will be used to give minor updates about two projects, as well as a major update on “<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00v5jpb/Celebrity_Bitchslap_News/" target="_blank">Celebrity Bitchslap News</a>”. Hope ya enjoy, if not, I’ll punch this <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/herefordandworcester/content/images/2006/06/13/a_male_338x450.jpg" target="_blank">Lion</a> till you do <br />
<br />
Also, just as a warning to those who like to look at pictures, their will be a lot of pictures in this blog. I guess warning is a bit of a strong word, but I have been working out (yes, I just used wordage to allow me to show my pride in working out. Without showing photos of course, my hands are too greasy from the chips to use the camera).</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Some Girls will be coming out September/October time on the lovely channel of BBC 3. I went to the screening of the 1<sup>st</sup> and 6<sup>th</sup> episode (6<sup>th</sup> episode being the one I’m in). Their is always nerves when watching a show that you’re in, but this s*it was gooood. It’s not something I’d show the older members of my family, but it’s funny!<br />
<br />
Also, for the last year and a half I have been compared to Simon Amstell, looks wise and when I do my high voice. I have now finally noticed it after seeing my massive face on a massive screen during the screening (which was a massive mouthful to say out loud). I may of missed the rest of the episode thinking about it, but at least I've noticed it now. Even one of the editors after (watching both episodes) asked if I was related to him… The ****. But I actually really don’t mind (and no, that’s not the same "I actually really don't mind" when a guy finds out his ex has a new bf “No I’m fine, I really don’t mind, I really don't care anymore” *burns photos and cries in corner of bus*). Despite myself, it’s an incredibly lovely and talented cast who will no doubt make you fall in love with them like I have!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I went to Paris (Oooo va doo) to film this and I had a really good time (minus when I thought I lost my ticket to get home on the last day, thank Maoam for spares). It’s always great fun when you do anything with really funny friends, so filming was a blasty blast. I did start to lose my mind from the incapability to talk to most of the extras/crew because of a language barrier, so I created a character called Clarissa. Clarissa is a 52 year old, 4ft 9 lady with a degree in mathematics but has been forced to become my assistant/carer (“I will trip him up for you master, anything for you master”). As well as Kevin, a creepy dopey man with the voice of The Moon from The Mighty Boosh. I can’t imagine how I’ll do from 13 weeks on set (probably lose my mind further and start licking palms), but I am looking forward to it. I got to improvise loads and button up scenes quite a lot. More on that and the incredibly sweet French fans on another blog! (On the ticket story, turns out I had put it in my suitcase and didn’t think to check there. I know.)</div>

Well, what can I say about this crazy programme. It’s a 20 minute spoof gossip show by BAFTA winning <a href="https://twitter.com/alisonjackson" target="_blank">Alison Jackson</a>. I was lucky to be chosen as a co-host alongside ze gorgeous <a href="https://twitter.com/Pipstaylor" target="_blank">Pips Taylor</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/Minnie5news" target="_blank">Minnie Stephenson</a>.

It’s cool to be doing pilots alongside Rich Fulcher (who is in WTF), Boy with Tape on his Face and the Dawson Brothers. Along with Marek Larwood and Carl Donnelly who are in Impractical Jokers. Not that I'm saying the others that I haven't mentioned aren't talented, it's just those are the people that I know of and like. If you got a problem with that, get in line with the metaphorical Lion I may or may not fight (or train to become my transportation).</div>

If you want to say "nice one" or "good work" or "anything". It really should go to Alison, who was the creator and much deserveth of many nice things said to her as possible. As well as the crew that worked on it, they were hilarious and professional, I’m incredibly happy to of worked with them!</div>

You can also say give praise to Pips and Minnie, but say I sent you (for brownie points purposes). OK you can say them to me as well, you don’t have to be so insistent! I don’t know if we are going to series yet, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. <br />

<i><u>Web Series Idea</u></i><br />
I'm currently negotiating the idea of doing a tiny web series made up of small 2-6 minute episodes. Will need an actress with comedy capabilities (playing age of 18-23). If you know anyone who can do such a thing, get them in contact with me or direct their CV and Headshot to allseeinghorse@gmail.com.<br />
<br />
<i><u>Sound Cloud Brown Mound</u></i><br />
I have been thinking about doing this idea since I did the 30 day project blog. This idea, is to record myself reading the blogs in a kind of, podcast format. I understand that people either don't have time or just can't be asked to read a huge quantity of writing. I myself am guilty to writing a lot and then slowly losing the will to read it myself! So in doing this, I can maximize the information put out to you while also lessening the demands put to you. <br />
<br />
Anyway, thank you very much for reading and supporting me. I do love you so! I hope you have a good week, no matter what week you're reading this on! If you need me, find me on <a href="https://twitter.com/SeanJosephYoung" target="_blank">Twitter</a>!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Introduction</u></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, I know I said “I’ll be doing a blog a week at the
least”. It wasn’t a lie, exactly. You see, I went on a canoe trip and
for some silly reason, people thought I was dead! What are people like these
days! I can’t look my sons in the eye, but still. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My 2011 was a dark time in my eyes. I guaranteed my mum not
to worry about me not going to university as I had such a good 2010 (acting job
wise). “It’ll surely continue” I proclaimed with hopeful vigour, it did not. I
did 3 commercials in 2011. Obviously I’m grateful for being able
to do 1 let alone 3, but they were so spaced apart that money was getting
really short and my confidence in the arts was starting to crack. With that and
a combination of other situations not connected with acting, created a
whirlpool of sadness for my opinion on the year of 2011. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
November-December hit and I was looking at universities and
drama schools along with Open University courses. But, while doing that, I started getting a string of nice auditions and recalls which made me
think “maybe 2012 won’t be so mean to Ol’ Sean”. And I was right
(I’ll pay you up front Santa, you are in for one hell of a treat!). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve been <u>lucky</u> enough to get 2 pilots and an episode of an
upcoming series by Hat Trick Productions (and it’s only May!).To all who have
supported me, I love you and will continue to love you. Let’s hope it all
continues so I can make you all proud and then be able to give back as much as
I can (Crohn’s is getting it in the face!). So here's a little bit more information on what I've been up to/going to be doing in the next few months acting wise. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>BBC 3- Some Girls
by Hat Trick Productions</u></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I filmed Some Girls on random days during February-March and it was
an awesome experience. The crew had a really chilled presence about them, which was matched by their friendlyness and fantastic sense of humour. If the crew became a woman, I'd date her (I couldn't put that any other way). I played a
character called Jo who turns up in the last episode (really trying my best to
be as unspecific as possible!). I tend to get the broody roles, so this
character was a breathe of fresh air for me. He was a really awkward nerd-like
dude (they made me use my actual glasses for the character, I was so upset by
this definition of my own ocular face wear that I set fire to them in defiance!
Should of taken them off first, but still. They got my point, viva la
reveloosheon!). Expect this comedy about inner city kids to hit BBC 3 later
this year!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>'CB News' Pilot</u></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I never really believed I got this until a few weeks before filming. When going into the casting and recall, I had taken the "I'm just going to have fun" approach. I do feel that specific approach is the best way to go about a casting. What's the point of doing any castings if you aren't enjoying them? (Trust me, you have to find it fun as an actor due to the fact that you will be doing hundreds of them!).</div>

This show is by a well respected, BAFTA award winning photographer/cinematographer

No, I didn’t play a lookalike for Chris Hemsworth silly! I
was a mock presenter that sits at a news desk with a gorgeous co-presenter lady
called <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/Pipstaylor" target="_blank">Pips Taylor</a> (who did the documentary ‘I Never said Yes’ as part of the
crime season on BBC 3), we then spoke as if the footage we received is real. It
was a nice experience to do presenting for a change; I’m starting to think we
should all get autocue for life in general! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also, (a little bit of excitement for my own purposes) I had
a lengthy conversation with Geri Dowd who was the studio director for this show
and loads of huge panel/impro shows like Whose Line is it Anyway, Mock the
Week, Have I Got News for You and Fast and Loose! So yes, I had a huge comedy
information splurge about it all. Just so you know, when she
spoke about Mark Leveson and Dan Patterson, I did say the line “well if they
ever need an improviser…” in a strange voice, to hide the desperation created
from the desire to be on one of their shows.</div>

<b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>'Untitled' Pilot</u></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had about 4 recalls and 2 screen tests (from the span of September-March) for this before it was confirmed that I’d be playing a main
called Gilbert. It’s just a pilot at the moment (which I will be going to Paris at the beginning of June to film). If all goes to plan and I remain Gilbert after
the pilot (huge fingers crossed I will), then I possibly will be away in Paris
for 13 weeks to
film 26 episodes! What I’ve loved about this process so far is that they
let me
improvise, even during the second screen test. I did a scene with a
character
called Jack (played by Tim Lawrence) and we added about an extra 30
seconds to
the scene, it was really good fun! Everyone (as clichéd as it will
sound) is
lovely on this, the jokes were flying about after half an hour of
hanging out
which is always a good sign. I’ve also been given tiny artistic licence
as I’m
allowed to impro a little bit on set as well. I’ll see how many
euphemisms I
can get in without being told off (the kids will love it, if you know
what I
mean). I’d really like to go into more detail about it but as I said,
it’s just
a pilot at the moment and even though it looks likely that it will be more
then
that, I’m still going to play it safe and be annoyingly unspecific as
possible. Either way, incredibly grateful to be part of it!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I have finally made my own short film (directed, edited and
produced by <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/crunchynut93" target="_blank">Ryan T Watson</a>. Basically, I wrote and starred in it but really I
did nothing!). It’s called ‘A Letter Of Gratitude’ and it stars an upcoming talent
called Wallis Day. It’s about a boyfriend’s
letter to his girlfriend thanking her for putting up with him. That is what
it’s about on the outline anyway, if you watch closely and follow what is being
said over the narration then it’ll reveal a story within itself! It was loads
of fun to do and my house looked like a genuine film set as Ryan brought
lighting equipment! This will probably be available for viewing june-july time.</div>

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>The Short Film</u></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><br />
</span></u></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">What it’s About</i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">The short film is based on a letter sent from a boyfriend to a girlfriend thanking her for everything she has done for him. It all starts with the girlfriend coming back from a bad day, and then while in bed restless, she looks to the letter to make her feel better. The letter will act as narration spoken by the boyfriend. It then cuts to moments referred by the letter and other more subtle parts. It does mention one or two specific parts but it’s to create substance for the characters (without it being too specific that it becomes un-relatable, which is the opposite of the goal). It’s a nice little 2-4 minute script that would require the girlfriend to be able to do a naturalistic and believable performance. She won’t have lines so it will literally be all about the acting. Even though she has no lines, she is the main and will be in all of it. There is a little twist at the end because I can’t help it (it’s like a problem), but overall it’ll be a really fun project and one I can’t wait to do. Be it if all heads agree that we find the correct girl/team.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Intent/Desired effect</i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I wrote it as not a way of praising my girlfriend as I’m not in a relationship. I’ve wrote it with the intent of being a nice little pick me up piece that those who watch it may remember good times and be happy. That and it’s quite sweet and eloquent so even if you don’t have anything relatable to it, it’ll still give you a lift anyway. The main goal is to make people happy and smile (without it being super simple, I can’t do simple unless it’s a drawing, stickman anyone?).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Casting</i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">So if you want in as the girlfriend then I suggest you look at the criteria below then email <a href="mailto:allseeinghorse@gmail.com">allseeinghorse@gmail.com</a>. The casting WAS going to end on Monday but it’s looking like it is going to be extended for “internal reasons” to which aren’t in my control. But that’s not to think you have time, you don’t have much time. Also if you want to help out with anything then email the same email and we will take it from there. Just remember, things like this happen with <u>cooperation</u>. But their will be a lot more on that subject in a few months time! So check the criteria guys, if you fit it then that’d be awesome, if you know someone who does then that’d be awesome as well. Oh and one of the reasons why their isn’t major specifics is, although I do actually have a complete look in my mind, we all want to give everyone a chance and I don’t mind being proven wrong at all.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

As we all slowly get older, most of us start to turn slightly senile and resentful as past experiences scar us. I have that sort of thinking during Christmas time. Why? That’s another story and it applies with birthdays as well. But this time, it’s different. I haven’t discovered “faith” I’m afraid but I have started to really get hold of the message. What message? You say, and those of you who did are terrible people or just haven’t grasped the true nature of said holiday cheer. It is about giving, not receiving. Or to “give and not to count the cost” as those Catholics would say. I am genuinely excited about Christmas, not because I can’t wait for my gifts (although they are still very much appreciated!), but more giving the presents I have bought to the people I love. I seriously am excited about giving my brother a certain present that I saw on Amazon, I was all like “you better get that, you cracka”. The joy, whether it lasts a minute or a few days doesn’t matter, it’s knowing I made that happen (I don’t mean to brag but, I am a seriously awesome gift giver! I dress up, do a little dance and then give them the coal, or if you want to get satirical, a euro). So expect some Christmas cheer (without the religious aspect for me but that isn’t because I despise religion. I admire anything that makes a person good and obviously hate the opposite).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Phillip Dawson Appreciation Society Volume 1</u></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Creative gift giving is sometimes hit and miss. Sometimes with presents you strive for the unique, something to be memorable and possibly folk-tale worthy. Well, breaking the running theme of telling a little story from my past that can’t really be seen in a positive light, this is a bright little praise for my friend Phil.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">If you get to know me, you’d learn that I say a lot of random things. But on this day, Phil took note. I jokingly told Phil that I wanted a poster of him with his thumbs up in my room to act like a dream catcher for Christmas, Phil laughed, paused for a second and continued the conversation. And you won’t f******* believe what he’s gone and got me!? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTgjBp460yAIlJ61YMfFO81Oeg0iZgYMrJ5pEgM8zhqdthB_kiq0DzjTOXaJurUFQ5lGhsv4jXE2rAfMAAE0X_FlMEKBeshIq3Y77rol157qWiwy8cLF3xK_F8NBWsRzR-658dafceiqt_/s1600/IMG_6121.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTgjBp460yAIlJ61YMfFO81Oeg0iZgYMrJ5pEgM8zhqdthB_kiq0DzjTOXaJurUFQ5lGhsv4jXE2rAfMAAE0X_FlMEKBeshIq3Y77rol157qWiwy8cLF3xK_F8NBWsRzR-658dafceiqt_/s320/IMG_6121.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i> I couldn't put it on the top wall of my bed as it kept falling off and smashing me in the face while I attempted sleep. So I've opted to putting it facing the door to wish those who enter luck and to warn off ze Germans.</i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It’s going to take a lot of explaining if I get visitors, but it’ll be worth it. So I just wanted to dedicate that little section to Phil just to say thank you very much, you’re an absolute legend and your humour deserves a podium (or a stage, hmm Phil! Think about it!) </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>The Little Short Film (Not About Dwarves)</u></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I’m going to be writing more about the little short film I keep tweeting about in a blog post on Friday. I’ll give you a little bit now before properly writing about it. It’s a script I’ve made and will be co-directing with some friends and acting in it as well. It'll be be shot in about a day, might be a long day just to get everything sorted but it’ll be fun and a good experience. No pay just to throw that out there (if you couldn’t have guessed). But, it would be a really good time as the script is slightly challenging for the girl being casted, they’d be pretty much the main thing for about 95% of the film and it’s all naturalistic. So if you’re a lady and you think that sounds like something you want to give a go then have a look at the casting requirements. Just to warn you, I don't have much power on the casting of it, just incase you thought I did!

Well I felt that I had to change with the times and as my old title didn’t really have any serious undertones at all, I thought this new one would! “Ripping Water”, sounds like a song in the next Razorlight album doesn’t it? I felt it was quite poetic and theoretically impossible to do, which always adds to the beauty of the imagery (and it’s just quite fun to say!) I didn’t want to just name it “Sean Joseph Young’s current blog” as it sounds a bit plain. “Ripping Water” sounds quite mysterious and hasn’t got a strange joke connected to it. I’ve even tried to make a joke out of it, something under the lines of “I’m so ill, I’m ripping water”. But it isn’t funny enough to be conceived as a joke (so you’re welcome to steal it, you know who you are). I tried other titles that I hoped would have a serious undertone, but after a while I realised most of them didn’t have a serious undertone, just more of a homicide next door kind, the kind of undertone a tent at a horse event would cover up (too dark? I think you may have to get used to it I’m afraid!).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Honest Opinion</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"> I’ve always felt my blogs lacked something (a loving carer I guess, the current one spits in my soup), it was about ¾ fun and games and ¼ serious. I tried to balance it out when actually; I shouldn’t try to balance it at all. I should do whatever the shit I want! Obviously I’m still going to do the whole “no names” thing (unless you’ve been really bad, watch out for next blog as I give Hitler a right cheeky ribbing). If I want to throw out some honest revelations in my life to you all then I should, if I think Kirsten Stewart looks like a 13 year old boy with her hair tied back on that horse in the new Snow White trailer (which looks freaking awesome by the way, and I still would get to know Kirsten Stewarts parents. When her hairs’ down she’s freaking cute, I can overlook the 13 year old boy thing, or embrace it? Living the dream), then I’m going to say it with no paedophile jokes whatsoever (cough). Let’s just all have fun, don’t turn your nose up, just embrace it at all. Offence is choice not genetic, humour is a social thing, so come on, let’s have a metaphorical beer and smile. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Summary</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Think of this name transition as Season 2 of my blogs. I got a lot to tell you guys and, as it’s going to be more irregular then Frankie Cocozza’s heartbeat, I won’t tell you an exact date. Just think of it as the good ol’ times when Christmas was just when you felt a bit generous some days, and not a set day when Jesus decided to be born’d so his big fish corporate friends could earn money from you all being forced to fake a smile and act sincere about a present you receive, not because you hate the present, but because that present was the present you gave them last year, who in turn gave the same fake smile the year previous because it was shit. Or something. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Follow me on Twitter, one of my goals was to get more followers then how many I’m currently following (I can’t help pressing the follow button on certain people, and in Twitter). As payment, every 20 people I get following me is a + on the number of hit songs titles I’m going to add onto a big old list, which I’m then going to have to try and quote during a clueless date (I’m fucked), while being video’d of course (as much as I like personal enjoyment enjoyed by the few). @seanjosephyoung</div>Sean Joseph Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02881276782565464881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683385647197980277.post-28478817790071088472011-10-27T13:09:00.000-07:002011-10-27T13:10:19.783-07:00Derren Brown and a Ramble (contains a preview of my amazing artwork)<div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Introduction</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Right, I’m about as erratic and as unreliable as possible with the dates of these blogs. I sometimes know what I’m going to write, other times I have no clue. This, I think, is going to be a bit of a ramble blog, and then I’ll tell you a little unimportant story from the Derren Brown promo. Oh and watch out for my amazing art work. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>YouTube and IPhone Investigator </u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">What tends to happen with these blogs, is that I will come on to the laptop with my mind set about what I’m going to write and then, when I get down to it, I splurge all my warmed up creative juices on things I can watch on YouTube. These videos on YouTube aren’t educational, nor do I garner any self respect from it. It’s all mostly stupid and silly videos that I hope exist. These subject headings are usually inane, nonsensical bullsquit like “badger riding Kangaroo” (that video does actually exist, but not on YouTube, it ruined my Tuesday) and “swallowing egg whole”. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">On the IPhone you can search on Google, when you type something in, it saves what’s been entered so you can go back to it. I recently looked at the list I’ve created since owning this phone, and became slightly worried with how someone may see it without knowing the back story! Here’s the top four things on my Google history, on the IPhone.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Blue balls</div><div class="MsoNormal">Christopher Walken</div><div class="MsoNormal">Graphite</div><div class="MsoNormal">Migrant Workers</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Yes, without knowing where it all come from, it’ll probably seem about as disturbing as a gimps basement (to be honest, it does sound like a checklist usually found in a gimps basement!). The Christopher Walken bit was to show my step dad who he was (who Christopher Walken was, my step dad wasn’t having a case of forgotten identity), as I had previously showed him The Walken Dead (you can see below) and it meant nothing to him as he had no clue who he was, which was kind of the main thing about that video. The other three was to confirm what they meant, as I never usually like to say something without knowing 100% that I’m using said word/phrase correctly! Like when I used the phrase “lets raise the flag and see who salutes” when I was 14, as a euphemism. Why? Because I was a bad ass 14 year old of course. (I didn’t actually say that, I didn’t use euphemisms then, I was too busy deciphering Einstein’s theory of relativity, that and playing Final Fantasy 7….. Mainly the latter). </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<b><i><u>Derren Brown</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Well, yeah I did an advert for Derren Brown’s new show, was really awesome! Everyone was lovely which is always super nice. I’ve done things for television where I’ve hated every moment, but this time it was fun! Except the synchronised bit! Hated that so bad. They hired 20 dancers to do it with us, but they decided to have Mr 2 Left Face here to be near the front! I just couldn’t stop getting it wrong! It was simple and yet I’d either not bend my neck far enough or not move fast enough out of camera shot. Even though the lady beside me was a lovely older lady who walked slower then the younger people surrounding her. There was even one take where I forgot to take the phone out of my pocket so we had to stop and do it again, I’ve never had evils by 50 people instantaneously before, I felt kind of powerful! Yes I got a distinction in dance at college, but that was because the teacher rewarded me for taking myself completely out of my comfort zone with the strip at the showcase (little did she know). It also didn’t help when we were doing it under about 20 huge light bulbs, so everyone was feeling the heat. My face wasn’t sweating like the others, but, to put it bluntly, my area was! I had 2 pairs of jeans on because they didn’t have the right size for me, so I had to have my original jeans on underneath. It felt like I had been tea bagging lava.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I had a chance to quickly meet Derren Brown, I walked past him as he was speaking to 2 other guys. I’ve gone ahead and scripted this, with the possible inner thoughts of the great Derren Brown himself. I think this situation is an example of how I presume I’m being seemingly rude when I don’t mean to be at all (when around new people). Call it being self conscious of others accidental forced (by me) perception. I think I do this because of all the accusations of me being arrogant back in the day because I was nodding to criticism in a way they didn’t like, so since then, I’ve been really aware of what I say and how I say it. I never want people to think ill of me if I’m genuinely being nice or taking criticism on board, anyway. I’m sure his response was deliberate and not a panic button response, don’t see why it would be as I’m sure he’s dealt with stranger people while doing magic tricks on the street! (Initially had to write corridor in the scene heading, as that’s where it took place in, except I found that word such a mind frick, look at it, seriously look at it! How weird is that word!)</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">INT. CORRIDOR AT GREENFORD STUDIOS</div><div class="MsoNormal">SEAN enters wearing two pairs of jeans and a hoodie, this man radiates awesomeness (I’m the writer, I get to say what I want). As he plods along in the corridor, his eyes meet with magician and nice man, DERREN BROWN. DERREN is talking to two people while wearing a really nice suit. SEAN attempts a drive-by conversation.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">SEAN</div><div class="MsoNormal">Alright!</div><div class="MsoNormal">DERREN</div><div class="MsoNormal">Hello mate, you OK?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Sean notices the suit, his obligations to always compliment nice fabric overrides his vocal chords. </div><div class="MsoNormal">SEAN V.O (INNER THOUGHT) </div><div class="MsoNormal">What a lovely bit of suitage</div><div class="MsoNormal">SEAN</div><div class="MsoNormal">Yeah I’m good thank you, nice suit by the way!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">DERREN, taken off-guard by this sudden, badly composed compliment, responds.</div><div class="MsoNormal">DERREN V.O (INNER THOUGHT)</div><div class="MsoNormal">What?</div><div class="MsoNormal">DERREN</div><div class="MsoNormal">Thank you, yes, love your suit as well.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">SEAN smiles and waves a hand as if to say “you’re too kind!” Without looking back to see DERREN’S face, leaving the ending of the drive-by to SEAN’S mind.</div><div class="MsoNormal">SEAN V.O (INNER THOUGHT)</div><div class="MsoNormal">Shit, I think he may have thought I was being sarcastic! Keep walking, avoid eye contact, warn Batman.</div><div class="MsoNormal">SEAN then, understandably, sings Holy Diver by Killswitch Engage out loud to drown out all the voices in his head, telling him to draw the guy who says “wonga” in the Envirophone adverts over the walls as a coping mechanism.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">He genuinely seemed like a really nice, charismatic man. Which I always find is my first question when my friends meet famous people. I don’t like asking, is he a dick? Or did he kick off on set? Or anything like that, it’s always, “was he nice?” And then, out of my own insecurity, I ask “how tall was he/she?” So, to answer my own questions, he seemed really nice, and he was about 5 ft 8/5 ft 10? He seemed like the type of guy you’d want as a really cool uncle or wingman!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Oh and just to add, the main cast that were doing the puppet stuff with me were really nice as well and a pleasure to hang out/work with. There was one or two that I didn’t get to speak to as much even though I wanted to, but I’ve got them on Twitter now so all good (sneaky walking, social stalking, eating cabbage, swearing at Savage, it’s Twitter!!) Although, it turned out I was the only one there who hadn’t been to drama school, so I had no stories I could of bantered them with, I think I’m just going to have to deal with that for now! </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Introduction</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Fuck the system. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Right well, look at me, I’m back doing ze blogs! Everyone happy? Not if you were/will be offended by my blogs. Which I find quite funny, seeing as though I don’t <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">normally</i> address a specific person in my blogs, but more the act of said “wrong-doing”. To be offended by it is to admit you’ve done it before, am I right? Anyway, so I’m back, going to be trying to do this once a week at the least, it’s something to keep the mind from letting go (No Jack no! Keep holding on, rescue will be here soon). So this blog will be about what I’ve got planned and the true way of living in a world of the anti-climax! If that doesn’t sound exciting enough, here’s some space created with the space bar<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><br />
</span></u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><br />
</span></u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>I’m Sorry, I Seem to of Anti-Climaxed an Old Person on you</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">If you need a definition towards an anti-climax, watch England play football. Too sporty for you? Buy anything with the word “super” in it, or this blog. I live a life of the anti-climax, as an actor I go to castings for (mostly) amazing projects and then not get them. But without the slight hope or dream of getting it, there really isn’t any point of trying out for it.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Something I’ve found to be an anti-climax (to no fault of it’s own) is Twitter. I thought it’d be magnificent, as a friend of mine convinced me it’s the greatest thing in the world (which wasn’t hard to do as I was previously blown away by the invention of trampoline walls (they are just trampolines placed at an angle, but still!)).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I wouldn’t have joined the lovely world of Twitter if someone hadn’t told me it’s the greatest thing since sliced Gerbil. So imagine my dismay when it didn’t live up to the hype and was a huge anti-climax in comparative to how he was describing it. It is no where near as great as people say it is, but, I still like it. Yes, things like toast, Twitter, Colin Farrell’s acting and Sportsdirect.com can be overhyped, but they are still good enough to look at (and maybe taste? The toast anyway, Twitter would taste like girl sweat for teenage celebrities and Robbie Savage’s tears). I’ve even started using Twitter properly, with hash tags and everything, but so far I haven’t really seen a solid reason to use them, as I’m not a 1direction or Justin Beeballs fan. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It is either people are becoming fantastic promoters or I just have quite a high idea of things that’d be rated a 10/10. But it’s not like I hate everything, or think everything that has ever been made is a dirty shit-eater. It’s not like that at all, I’m very happy about most things in life, in fact, I’m a firm believer that Doritos are perfect and my fat ipod is the best Ipod I can get (on that note, R.I.P Steve Jobs). </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Yes, maybe everything is an anti-climax in a way, but what would be the point of having any adventure in life if everything was perfect?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Life, Life Life Life</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Talking about anti-climaxes! I’ve got a little game for you all. I recently did the promo (with other people of course) for the new Derren Brown show. According to a few of my lovely supportive friends, the advert is now live on telly, so if anyone else finds it, tell me so I can watch it on +1! (YouTube isn’t the same). But that isn’t the game! Apparently there are going to be billboards that have my face in it, if you can get a photo of one, or you pointing at one, or multiple posters in different places, or a tiny cat sunbathing on the shell of a turtle, then you will win a prize! Haven’t thought about what it is, but it will happen! </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Things I’ve got planned? Well I’m going to be doing this every week, maybe every Thursday? Will see, but! Here is the news that some of you will be excited for, others would probably be a bit confused by it. I’ve recently bought the devices/software to record me playing video games (stay with me, like my wife). So I’ll be putting up footage of me playing video games up on YouTube, with voiceover/narration by myself. So basically, I will be treating it as a podcast with maybe some comments on how the game footage is going. It’s another platform for me as I am a regular player of games and I like to joke around, so I don’t see why I shouldn’t combine the two and potentially earn money from it (get enough views on your YouTube channel and you start being paid for advertisement and such, so much so that you could probably gain the equivalent monthly earnings of working a 5hour job everyday, why aren’t other people doing this!). So if you are interested in games, watch and listen, if you don’t like games but like a good joke in a short podcast format, have my voice in the background while you are on facebook or whatever it is you people do. It’s a win win situation for me, and you!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Also, I do photography properly now, so if anyone reading needs headshots then I suggest you get in contact with me and we will talk prices, mine are ridiculously cheap, for now!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Sean, what are you doing with all this money? Is it going towards anything? Cocaine mainly. That and I’m saving up to moving out and I want to try and get an agent in America (through going there after getting in contact with agents that desire to use my face, not by buying myself into one, never do that, it’s a scam!) without borrowing money from my lovely parents.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Summary</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Will do a blog about the Derren Brown Promo, it was a prime example of why I’m terrible at dance and how Derren Brown could potentially hate me for accidently sounding sarcastic.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Also I’m going to be doing a blog about my adventures in “improving” myself. I know, I’m as worried as you are.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Plus! Expect a very ranty blog about those who think it’s there right to feel they are better then others even though they haven’t accomplished anything! Needless to say, it potentially could be awesome, or an anti-climax (it all comes full circle, bit like a wank in a roundabout, have you missed me?).</div>Sean Joseph Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02881276782565464881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683385647197980277.post-38338743257331228512011-09-01T15:11:00.000-07:002012-01-03T12:12:57.329-08:00The Final Day of the Project- Subject: Me<div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Introduction</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">The last day of the project! I don’t really feel sad about it, as it doesn’t have to stop entirely. I have enjoyed doing it, as my English be getting better (deliberate). Along with that, it’s given me a chance to really have a good bicker and have a wider view on life. I feel as if I was always haunted by my own past, the wrong doings, the missed chances and all that shameful stuff. I admit, I am one of those people who say “I don’t regret anything”, but admittedly, there is plenty I regret. Whether it be with ex girlfriends, or fears that should have been shrugged off, they always seemed to haunt me and hurt my prospects and views on life. Fears and worries turned to hate which turned to my new catchphrase for a while which was “I don’t care”. On hindsight, of course I did, otherwise I wouldn’t have found an issue in it anyway. Stuff like my ex not texting me for a whole day for the first time in 3 years or coming back from a casting knowing it went bad and then telling myself, “I didn’t really want it anyway”. Anything to really shut up the voices in my head telling me that it actually has hurt me. I seem to only really be hurt by the blatantly obvious, which smashes me so hard in the face I don’t have time to say I don’t care about it (only for me to crawl into that hole later to avoid further questioning on the matter).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><br />
</span></u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>My Views on Sympathy</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I hate sympathy, because of my constant crying and steady rising fears of everything as a child, I got a lot of it, but I also over heard resentment for it. I missed so much school that my friends got fed up of it because they didn’t understand what Crohn’s Disease was. In year 11 I changed quite a lot on my aspect on life. If I were to put it in a plainer example, it felt like I had aged in my mind about 5 years from thinking like a 12 year old to a 17 year old. By the time I had got out of A levels after three weeks, I was so sour of people, my brain had aged about 40 years. Which is probably one of the reasons (other then the obvious) to why I was so grateful to be surrounded by such fantastic and lovely people when I went to BTEC (of course there was a few characters, a boy called Anthony was one of them, he threatened to “spark” a girl, I then ((heroically of course, didn’t have time to get my cape, but the top hat and monocle was enough)) got up and said Anthony calm down and his quick witted reply was “don’t Anthony me”. I didn’t really have a clever reply to it other then “ok do the hustle do do dooo doo do da do do”, although that is my preset reply to anything in my mind, I do hope that guy is OK though, he disappeared off the radar when he left college). These people, I am happy to say will be life long friends, I am in awe of them and I couldn’t love them more. </div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">Now when I have an issue, I usually speak to certain people I spoke about above, or wait until I don’t care anymore, not the I don’t care thing I mentioned earlier, real not caring. Although that process does take a few months/years. Even when my Crohn’s is acting up, I don’t talk about it or mention it, in fear that I will get sympathy.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I’m not an alpha male at all at the moment, but one thing I have learnt over the years is to never show weakness to the outsiders. A bleak thought I know, one that has probably stopped some friendships from getting past stage 2, but it’s one that has been buried into my mind like a flower in the back garden.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Their was a situation at my old drama group when we played a game called "chairs". This game requires you to imagine the chair is the person you’ve needed to speak to for ages. In doing so, you say the things you’ve needed to get out. This memory is one that I can’t help but regret deeply, even while typing this I’m tensing and squinting at the sheer thought of it (I even did a shiver that was so crazy it had pulled my neck muscles, the cheeky rascals). I had gotten carried away in the moment, not only going once but a total of three times (twice before the break, third time after), the last one ending with me storming out crying. “What had possessed me to even think it was a good idea to do it?!” I would yell at myself on nights pondering over it. I’m not a follower, neither am I an obvious leader, but I’m certainly not a follower, so what had allowed me to break all conformities which have all been set in stone? What angers me most at myself about the situation, is that I even did it, my issues weren’t as big as others, I didn’t need people to know my problems, especially those I didn’t really know. A place in which for a while I felt was a sanctuary, an opportunity to hang out with my best mates and where I could spend valuable time with one that I had loved for so long, was ruined for me. I don’t blame the owners or anyone else for the way I feel about it, that day is up for anyone’s presumption, but for me, it was one I regretted. After that, the drama class felt dirty to me, like they had witnessed me taking a dump in a circle and then backfliping into it, I felt dishonoured. It didn’t bring those who I didn’t really like to me, it only acted as a deterrent for me to never do anything similar again. It was pandemonium at the end, a guy smashed a window, another was weeping so hard onto another’s shoulder that he had a nose bleed, all of them with problems that warranted affection, love and sympathy, wishing for all of them to get better. I had made a hasty retreat and recovered, to make sure everyone was happy and smiling, but with a constant haunting feeling that I had some how ruined my natural, light-hearted persona for those in the room. A sub reason to why I think I had taken that day so badly is that their really wasn’t anyone else I could blame. Yes we could of not continued the game after the break, yes we could of just not played that game at all, yes my girlfriend at the time could of not run into the toilet at break, leaving me on my own, but I was the one who decided to take part, no one forced me. It was definitely an experience, one that I am slightly grateful for, but still one I regret. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>My humour</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I just want to secure something safely in the bank. My humour, the reason why I’m always making jokes (whether they be good or bad) is not a subconscious attempt to hide my insecurities. My insecurities are few and far between and if you spend enough time with me, you’d probably realise I make jokes out of everything. I’m comfortable with myself, yes I would like to gain weight if the Crohn’s let me, of course I’d love to be taller, but all these things I don’t really have control over, so I don’t see it as a problem. It’s not a coping mechanism either because I’m secretly gay (which is what every answer book about any action that I take will probably lead too). Nothing wrong with being gay, in fact if I was gay I’d probably be a whole lot funnier and less “seemingly flirtatious” towards women because of my friendliness and humour. Thinking about it, I think it would just switch over so guys would feel that way (I attract a lot of straight men for some reason?). My humour, is my humour, I love making jokes, I love creativity, which is why I hardly plan most things I say and I love making people happy and smile. It’s an addiction to me, if you laugh at the things I say I will not only fall in love with you slightly but I will also become more and more aware of what you find funny and stick with it. But in a generalised way so those who don’t a have similar humour could probably laugh at it to. Although, their is a girl I’ve been good friends with for a while (lies! All lies, kidding), we end up doing strange sounds together for about an hour, giggling away like Japanese school girls who have just seen the new cute (hentai) anime bunny. I love making people happy, I love making them feel things in a positive way (or a negative way if I’m acting and it’s the desired thing to need, like I’m playing a paedophile sports player who just shagged his team mates girlfriend ((no I’m not saying John Terry is a paedophile, I just added it for an increased anguish towards the character in question!). Overall, I just want people to smile more then they do, to be a reason for happiness, if there was anything I wanted more then becoming a well regarded actor, is to see those who I love, and those who deserve it, to be happy. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I may not speak to certain people as much as I would hope, I may seem distant at times, but never think I would want anything other then the best for you, unless you’re a nazi/unicorn or anything similar. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Summary</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">To be perfectly honest with you all, I’ve never felt happier. I feel a sense of completion at the moment. It won’t last and that’s not me being pessimistic, I hardly ever feel this happy, which is why I treasure these moments. I’m currently on my own, cooking for myself. As much as I find it inevitable that I will get a “pad” on my own, I don’t mind the thought of it. It even excites me at the thought of getting a pad with someone I truly love. It’s not a depressing thought, it’s just one that makes me smile that smile only associated with the thoughts of the future and aspiration (or bacon). </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I just want to say thank you to all of those have supported me over the month, the regular readers, the future readers and those who can read in general (won’t insert any dyslexic bashing, or deshing as they would write). So this is it from the project, thank you again, it’s been fun. It’s not a goodbye, it’s a cya later (when I remember what film that is from I will be fully complete and then sail away into the distant sunlight to the sounds of Bon Iver “for Emma”). If you have just read this one, I implore you to read the others and tell me what you think, same to those who have read all of them, fudge it, to those who have anything to think, tell me.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So thank you again, I love you all. This is it, for now, much love</div><br />

Puberty, Monitored by Facebook (and a Harry Potter Mention!)<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Introduction</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">God headache, why won’t you go away! I’ve had a horrible piercing headache all day! I’ve taken everything I can, I even tried to sniff up a nail because apparently it would help (it didn’t!). Along with that, my groin muscles are acting up (too much sex, with the wall). I’ve had that problem on and off for a few years now and it always happens un-dramatically. It’s not like I saved a goal from going in with a diving tackle on the 93<sup>rd</sup> minute, its more “I got up ever so slightly faster then my leg was expecting”. God I sound like an old man, I think that’s my problem, I have the view on life like a 60 year old man. That’s probably why I quite like long relationships and werther's original (or as they say in Phoneshop, nonse nuggets). My idea of bliss is being tucked away in a tropical island with a wife and access to seeing a few of my friends. No hussle and bussle, no troubles or worries. It sounds like a universal dream, but I’ve heard quite a lot of goals would be going out, taking loads of drugs and getting with women. That idea is fine, except that’s only one night, it doesn’t really take up any responsibilities for the day after, when you find out you’ve sold one of your own hands to a gypsy for shelter against the purple storm gathering in your left eye socket. F*cking gypsies. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>The Times They are a Changing</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">It’s taken me 30 blogs but I’ve managed to get a Bob Dylan lyric in there! 5 points to Gryffindor! Actually thinking about it, would I be in that team? I feel like I’d be in Gryffindor but there is just something so awesome about Slytherin. I mean, they can’t all be that evil if they’ve actually made a team for it, right? This is coming from the guy who hasn’t watched the last two films or read any of the books! Let’s see how many readers I lose after declaring that. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Anyway! It’s going to be quite hard for me to stay on subject, what subject you say!? Exactly. Having Facebook (or any other social medium) has opened up loads of doors and has changed the way we perceive social definition. Along with that, it has been interesting to watch people redefine and grow as people over the time I have been friends with them on Facebook. Like when you see a photo of them when they joined Facebook and they looked like Jabba the Hut! Then you look at there current photo and they miraculously look like Jabba the Hut but with a new scarf, it’s still interesting to see. If I could post the before and after photos of people reconfiguring their looks and puberty taking them by the throat, I would. But I’m pretty sure you could see it for yourself! I have quite a few people who I grew up with, who now look completely different too how they looked previously.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Hell, quite a lot of them have replaced there own display pictures to photos of an ultra sound. Although, I do sometimes fear that they just have stolen the photo from someone else and advertised it as their own (what I’m trying to say is, all the ultra sound photos look the same! No offence or anything but I genuinely got worried that a baby had 3 mums and no dad, as they posted similar photos all in unison). Either that is their baby or they have gone for the ultra “retro photo” of themselves. Congratulations to all new mums by the way!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which is why ugly people usually wear eyepatches. Just made that up! It’s astonishing to see how people have transformed and fluctuated there sense of style, weight and beliefs. I have recently discovered changes in myself, not just from the height difference (I never said the noticeable changes wouldn’t be subtle *Sad face*). I recently watched something that broke my heart a little bit, I re-watched Jurassic Park Lost World, didn’t enjoy it that much. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Summary</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">For all the things I hate Facebook for, this is not one of them. I find it intriguing to see people become who they’ve always wanted to be, too live out there dreams as the person they have always wished to live there lives as. The years to which I will live out are more defining then any of the other years previous. The expectations, the dreams, the surprises, all will probably be revealed on Facebook and I will probably roll my eyes and sigh at most of the moany ones, even my own. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">One thing I love is the fact that the word processor I was using on my Nan’s computer didn’t like the word blog. Yet on this word processor at my home, it’s totally fine with blog AND Gryffindor! </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

My incredibly Powerful Poetry (one's about a fish!)<div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Introduction</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Home sweet home. While racking my brains for what to do on this blog, it reminded me of how AQA used to destroy my brains by forcing me to come up with bulls*it theories on poetry and why they said this and that and how it goes with the time of the piece. Some of the poets deserved such time and effort to decipher there complex satirical/biblical pieces. But one about Robin going on his own instead of hanging about with batman? 3 god damn pages required for it?! And the others, ones where they were so horny even tissues ran away from them, those that could only be written by 38year old virgins and housewives and those that were so dull they required to be read in a monotone. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I used to write poetry, quite a lot actually, which is one of the reasons why I was capable of writing that “rap” on the podcast so fast. So, here are my versions of complex verses required of harsh deciphering, prepare for a nose bleed. Not really, they might be a little silly but I wouldn’t say they are nose bleeders or even spoofs. But I can guarantee you one thing, I’m going to try and write them in 10minutes (each).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Well let me embrace you with a friendly hug then squeeze your rib cage, as this is one disgruntled bloggy huggy jumble of words. I love humanity, I love our capability for infinite amounts of possibilities and our thought process to which can create modicums of human decency and common sense. It’s those who spurt shit into our atmosphere just to corrupt it, those with nothing else to do other then to be hurtful or ignorant or angry at the world for no good enough reason. These knuckle dragging teddy bear rapers are the bane of my life. So far today, I’ve managed to surround myself in these pet peeves in one way or another. To add to my aggravated way of thought, I’m still in Oxford and am using the slothputer. I’ve even gone ahead and grabbed my jogging watch just so I can look at it while waiting for the writing to come up on this blog. <br />
<br />
<strong><em><u>Wesayanything.com</u></em></strong>I’m going to be as generalised as possible with this, I understand that it takes away from the imagination but for reputation of name’s sake I shan’t be going against the code of this blog. <br />
I can’t stand those who fire out extreme right wing views and show no mercy about it all. Things like saying all the rioters should be killed is a little harsh, demanding the lockerbie bomber should suffer even more for the things he’s done even though he is in a coma from cancer is harsh (no bit about it). I understand the man has done terrible things but I think being in a comatose state due to cancer is enough punishment. Also to swear and blame certain races for the cheating that had happened in the hurdle competition at the WAAFA world sports competition (I know WAAFA is wrong, that’s an Algerian political party but you know what I mean). If you don’t know, then second place had grabbed hold of the guy in first place and first place falls back a bit for the guy in second place to win. To swear at that even though the story is about him doing it and then being disqualified. Maybe fair enough but to then watch the highlights to the race afterwards so you can swear and generalise, while still knowing the actual result of the race after the judicators had finished deciding what to happen?<br />
<br />
<strong><em><u>Face Value with no Common Sense.com/I’mjustaroundtocauseaproblem</u></em></strong></span><br />
<span lang="EN">Really is so annoying to say something completely harmless and then to be taken to court about it even when it had nothing to it. Especially those sayings that you are surrounded by every day, to then say it to someone else and even though common sense would take grasp here and announce its completely harmless, they still twist it into something to argue. To cause anguish and pain on a relatively nice day! Not that I’m speaking from personal experience (had a really nice old mans walk as well, nearly got punched in the face by a squirrel, but that’s because I ate it’s babies ((I didn’t, ooo a bracket within a bracket, must be past first date terms then)). These people are so boring and really out to cause a problem, maybe for attention or maybe because anger gives them wood. Fair enough if it was a misunderstanding, but after explaining what was originally meant to still continue and cause friction, GFY.<br />
<br />
<strong><em><u>Summary</u></em></strong></span><br />
<span lang="EN">Just to let you know, I’m no longer as annoyed as I was previous. This is because I have hammered my family at cards, 3 TIMES! God I love playing cards, if anyone wants to play texas hold’em poker or 21, I’m in!</span>Sean Joseph Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02881276782565464881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683385647197980277.post-1013561663306513112011-08-28T10:19:00.000-07:002011-08-28T10:22:11.635-07:00Day Twenty-Seven Oxford, Nan, Impatient (8-2!)<span lang="EN"><strong><em><u>Introduction</u></em></strong><br />
Oxford ahoy! Well I am in the mixed weather but still beautiful Oxford. Unfortunately having to use my Nan’s computer which is so old you have to crank it up on the winch to gain power. It’s so old it’s made out of asbestos and uranium, if you have it on too long it emit’s a green glow. My impatient styling is an unwanted perk in my arsenal, which makes waiting for one page to load, that more antagonising. <br />
<u><br />
<strong><em>How can I miss that!</em></strong></u></span><br />
<span lang="EN">Talking about Arsenal! 8-2, 8-2! I am incredibly annoyed that I’ve had to miss that match, but MOTD 2 will be on!<br />
<u><br />
<strong><em>Annoyance of Being Impatient</em></strong></u></span><br />
<span lang="EN">I can’t stand using this computer, if I had better handwriting, I’d write it several times and then mail owls to those who want to read it, with the blog of course, you aren’t having my owls (they were hard enough to pack as it is, in my bag not sexually, you fiend!). I’m currently using a program to write this called Microsoft Works Word Processor. How do I know this is an old program? It doesn’t like the word blog (god, get with the times!). I also have to wait a few minutes for what I’m typing to come up on the screen, I’m half thinking I have to ping it back into position like a type writer! How do I know this is an old computer? The numbers on the keyboard are roman numerals! Only kidding, but it is old. My Nan, god bless her, has the internet explorer pages zoomed in to the point where you have to scroll sideways. <br />
<u><br />
<strong><em>My Nan is Awesome</em></strong></u></span><br />
<span lang="EN">Everytime I come to Oxford, she always makes my brother and I brownies! I thought that that fact warranted its own section, the truth is scrumptious. Scrumptious is such a funky word, same as popinjay. She is currently watching Charlie’s Angels with an apron saying Hot Stuff (she is wearing other clothes don’t worry!).<br />
<u><br />
<strong><em>Summary</em></strong></u></span><br />
<span lang="EN">Yeah I can’t take this, if I can’t use my Iphone when those Orange turd wranglers switch my sim card over then I will try and make do with this. But I mean come on! I think this is one of the shortest blog’s I’ve done where I’ve had something to say. The difficulty with doing a blog everyday is, it’s a lot of content. So far I think I’ve done about 40 pages worth of constant writing. It’s about a dissertation of pure bullshit! I’d find it fantastic if someone says stop complaining about your slow computer, how do you think people in the olden days used to cope! Yeah that’s a bit like having a car that you have to pedal with your own legs after owning a Jag. Who doesn’t prefer the better of things? I’m not one to be content with below par and this computer is below par! But I am grateful she has a computer, at least she’s trying to get with the times unlike some grandparents that try and burn their kid at the stake for owning a phone (claiming its voodoo or something, true story, I’ve got the marks).<br />

I’ve done terrible adverts because I need the money, I’ve worn corsets and hip hop danced, I’ve worn a gimpy ninja suit and I’ve advertised a DVD game, but this would be way to far to be do. Firstly to put me in those clothes, give me a big dick head hair style and then make me dance like a right shit eater? Hell no. This is for Mazuma mobile, not outdated presumptions of what’s cool. On a lighter note, how much do you want to bet the girl in this is about 40 with 3 kids? Not that she looks like she is but it’s just something so suprising it probably would be true. When I did MI High, their was a lady who was playing the same age as me who was 32! The person I feel sorry for in this advert are the two poor poor actors (poor in monetary and the other way). The production is terrible, the idea is terrible, This is for the “environment” and yet they are out this mushroom cloud of crap.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Introduction</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">What an eventful but lovely day it’s been, minus the weather. I had two castings today, one of them I will now be working on next week woop woop, get to meet Derren Brown! The other casting was a strange experience, which will be all explained below along with a little trouble I may have got myself into, enjoy.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Happy Go Lucky Goth</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I got the casting yesterday for a thing called Kinkley (trust me, the amount of jokes that had run through my head when I was told could of got me arrested). If I were to get it I’d go to Tel Aviv in Israel for four days. I was a little bit worried about that because of the recent troubles in the vicinity and to calm me down, my brother said “you probably won’t die”, which is not comforting at all! I like my chances of dying to be so low that it won’t even be a respectable probability, not to mention I’d be dressed as a Goth if I get it, so that’ll really go down well with the locals. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">After that I calmed myself down and I was kind of up for going there and doing it, except in the email it said that I had to dress like a Goth and wear as much make up as I can. So I put on my blue jeans white tshirt and for the Goth aspect of my clothing, a leather jacket? Now on hine sight, that’s not Goth at all but I had another casting an hour later so it had to do. I get there; they all look similar to me so it made me think maybe this won’t be a waste of time. I get into the casting and she well, she wasn’t happy. Anyway, I get out and see these 6ft 2 Mohican wearing tattoo and big boot stamping Goths. If they were my competition, I think I stand a pretty good chance…</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">There really isn’t anything Gothic about me, I do look a bit pastey sometimes but that’s because I bathe in paste, sexy paste. But don’t judge me though; I’m just a bit Kinkley.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Stop Laughing at my Disabled Child!</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I was walking around Leicester Square after my second casting, slightly bored as I knew I’d have to wait at Euston for my train. I thought I’d do it in a place where people don’t pass wind and then do circles round you, or where I won’t get shouted at for eating Burger King because the company are testing the food on African babies (which surely they'd be grateful for if it was true?). </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">After a while I started to notice people who had press passes for a local horror film festival, so I played a little game where I just counted how many I saw before I got to the staition, this is when it happened. I had noticed a boy wearing a long jacket, big red scarf with tassels on it and a hunters hat. There was just something about it that I found hilarious and couldn’t help looking incredibly rude as I attempted (and failed) to hold in my laugh. I tried to avoid looking at him as he walked past so I looked into the distance and just starting laughing. Unfortunately that “distance” contained a handicapped child who had dropped his ice cream. When I realised, I felt so bad, and as I walked past them the mother literally peered into my soul. I wanted to apologise but I reckoned that if she actually didn’t notice my mistake then it would look a whole lot worse if I went up to her and said “sorry I wasn’t laughing at your handicapped daughter struggling to pick up her ice cream off the floor, I was laughing at a boy with a funny hat”. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Summary</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Maintaining a perfect thing is always hard to do, which is why I really wrench myself about when I feel as if something isn’t adequate. I tend to react quite badly inside if a casting hasn’t gone right or a blog isn’t up to the hardships I had previously put myself in to get it right the day before. I just hope that the ones that I feel aren’t adequate in my eyes are up to par in others, the same with everything else. I really do rip myself a new one if I feel as if I haven’t done as well as I could or should. So on that note I bid you a due and I hope everything is going well for you, just you, you saucy bugger. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Introduction</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">There is something about having insomnia that is so tiring! I fell asleep around 5 this morning and then was woken up by Emma from Conexxions or however they’ve got it spelt (Eema probably). I was expecting her to talk down to me and say my career path is leading to erectile dysfunction (metaphorically speaking, I’m not a cockfencer or anything), but instead she is going to text me about evening work, so I think I’ve just become a prostitute. If so, I do hope Emma is my pimp, as she came across as demanding but generally nice and probably would send a rescue team if I was with someone that was doing things he/she didn’t pay for (like talking, the disgusting pig!). I have thought about hiring an escort once or twice in my life when I’ve felt lonely, not because I really want to have sex with someone, but when I really fancy playing multiplayer on an Xbox game and my brother is out.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Hopefully I don’t sound like a Whiney emotional Ass Foot (being an introvert)</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">As an introvert I tend to not feel much loneliness until I haven’t seen anybody for a week or two, I quite like staying home and left to think about things (mainly badgers). Of course I love seeing my friends but I seem to have days out/nights out that something always happens to me (and not in the “I’m such a character I have an amazingly eventful life” sort of way, but in a “what the f*ck just happened, is that a duck being clamped?” sort of way), or I’m with someone who is having a drunken ramble about someone they’ve known for two weeks. It’s all just so tiring. When I get back home it feels like my mind is sitting on a leather couch in the darkened side of the room, stroking a slipper while bellowing “where the f*ck have you been? We’ve got conundrums to create and then solve for hours upon end”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After I go out and have a really eventful night, I tend to avoid doing anything for a couple of days till I feel completely recharged. Although I admit, every time I go out, I never have a dull time, I’ve always got a story to tell in the end and depending on what we are doing, I will have fun, be very friendly, make jokes and be a good guy (trying to emphasize I’m not a terrible person to hang out with!), because that’s me, I love having a laugh. But I also don’t like being in uncomfortable situations or overstaying my welcome (the latter absolutely kills me when I know we are doing it). But I am very grateful to have a really fantastic set of friends, I think if I were to have the power to design my preferred set of friends it would be these guys.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">People have tried to help me get out of my introverted ways but it always goes tits up in one way or another. I really can’t help having a need to be on my own, but I am concerned that it will affect me in the future. I fear that if I find “the one” (at the moment it’s looking like the cat from next door, lucky lucky cat), she won’t ultimately understand my need to be alone sometimes, especially if we move in together. It’s never anything personal; I just need to be away from people for a little bit (that’s not a personal attack on my currently nonexistent future girlfriend!). Although if she was the one then she’d probably understand, I better show this to the cat so it knows what it’s getting into.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">One way I deal with feeling the need and there isn’t a way of getting away from a person is I just go quiet and into thought, but that is a rarity with most people I’m not 100% comfortable with. So if there is extended quietness after a few days with you then it means I’m really comfortable round you (congratulations!). It really hasn’t impacted me a lot as I don’t tend to spend so much time out with someone that it happens. I do like a good thought when I’m doing something that requires a one man effort (standing on a train or taking photos with my camera), and I might have a glum face on, but if you tell me too smile I will then spend the next 10minutes beating you to death in my mind with various humorous weapons (it’s a pet peeve of mine as it is, let alone breaking my train of thought!). I am a smiley happy go lucky person most of the time so if I’m not smiling it’s probably because my face hurts! </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It’s not a cool and trendy thing to be, no where near, in fact it’s very uncool. It makes writing about myself in a deep way absolutely killer and I pretty much feel like I’ve murdered someone when I write about what I feel my pros are (cvs feel like burying a bunny alive). So this blog has been really hard for me to do, I wrote it on the 10<sup>th</sup> and have been debating whether to put it up or not. Even when I’ve struggled for ideas I’ve thought it wouldn’t be a good idea. But, if I don’t put it up then I pretty much am rendering the whole process pointless.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Summary</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">There is a site that best explains what an introvert is. Thank god it says something about not being shy because that’s what the generalised opinion about it is. Just want to say, if this actually does warrant sympathy I really don’t want it, no offence to anyone, but I just really don’t like the attention placed upon a problem when I don’t see it as one that deserves so much attention. If anyone wants to talk about it properly then email me on this or find my facebook. And before anyone asks, I’m fine! Nothing is wrong and I just felt it was necessary to write this blog because it’s not something that people understand completely. I’m doing it more for awareness purposes then attention purposes. Same for when I do the Crohn’s Disease Blog. Also with the link below, I was thinking about not linking it because the url makes me look a bit egotistical! I didn’t mean it, it’s just the url! Also the part where it sums up the only conversations an introvert can have, is wrong in my part. If you ever hold a conversation with me it will probably vary from deep philosophical talks to how fast a lizard would go on a rainbow if it had magic powers (and everything in between that, I like conversations, what can I say).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Introduction</u></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m football crazy! Football mad! I’d spend time watching it if I had a dad (I have a dad). Now to try and power through another one of these blogs, can’t believe it’s the 24<sup>th</sup> day! Nearly done, then I could probably do a blog a week as I’ve actually quite enjoyed this. I have plenty of plans that I will reveal on the final days if you haven’t been listening to the podcast, all to which are schemes that licence testing. I also hit 500 views on my blog a day ago, so very happy about that! This blog is going to be about a little character called, Past Sean.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Past Sean is a Big Dick</u></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m not talking about regretting my past, nothing like that. But the small choices or lazy moments that have then forced me to pick up the slack later down the road. Just looking at the bass I’ve never used which clutters my room makes me annoyed at "past Sean". I also bought a leather jacket that I never wear because it’s too much of a statement. I can’t be put in the bracket of emo rocker because I have a tendency to be happy and I love a cartwheel from time to time. But it even gets smaller then that, I’ve had to clean out mouldy cups from my room and have even nearly drunk out of them in the middle of the night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All these things have been caused from "Past Sean"! I even think like that a bit now, I have a collection of bent and tattered photos on my wall that I had called the Happy Wall (this isn’t an attempt at a melodramatic metaphor I promise) but now all the photos are falling off and I’m tending to find them in strange places (had one stuck to my back for a few hours!). I would sort it out but I’m going to leave it for future Sean, for when he gets so annoyed at finding another photo in his boxers (ballbag paper cut anyone?). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I also once found a half eaten galaxy cake bar in my favourite bag which filled me with anger, only to remember specifically saying to myself “OK don’t forget about that”. I think referring my past mistakes as a living being kind of gives me comfort in the idea of becoming a more reliable/anal man, either that or I’m completely nuts ("Completely Nuts" being the arch nemesis of "Anal Man").</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One thing I am thankful for is that I never do anything that I think I might look back on and hate in the future. Like getting a Nike tick shaved in the back of my hair or getting a piercing on my eyebrow (bellend boyband power!). One thing I think about that a friend of mine might regret is her mime video to a Disney song. If you don’t think it’s that bad then let me change that. She has edited it and done it seriously with no sense of irony or sillyness to it. She even does the lying on the bed laying her chin on her hands, then rocking her head side to side and singing. How can anyone do that without realising how silly it looks?! I think the only video I kind of look back and sigh is the video of me pulling forward one of those spring projected rocking horses in a kids playground then letting it go, smashing me in the nuts. Not because I didn’t find it funny, I did but, it just hurt so much (damn you Anal Man).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>BOOK OF ANGER</u></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My brother was cleaning out his office when he found a book I had written in. I clamoured at this book to find what significant artefacts I can find out about myself. The first few pages were a list of things I’ve got to do, all as monotonous and unexciting as the next (as a previous attempt to eradicate "Past Sean", I presume). After a few pages, I started to get bored but then I noticed a bit of writing on a completely random page (literally was about 40 pages of blank and then this). On this page I had scribbled the line “anyone who says “darling I like being fashionably late” is a gimp”. To think this book is four years old! What had angered me so much that I had to write that down! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Summary</u></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With the current situation of mine being a little bit sporadic, I have decided to give myself a little “to do” list. Along with that, I’m giving myself points (doing this blog is worth 10, a wopping 10!)! A little sad, but I don’t have a girlfriend to sigh at me about it, so I’m going to go ahead and do it and then let Future Sean look back and think how much of a ballknuckle I am/used to be. Inception… INCEPTION… IT’S STILL SPINNING!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Introduction</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Again I think I’m going to start it off by saying I’m incredibly tired and ill. It’s definitely a running theme in my blogs and I wouldn’t be surprised if people could tell when I was at my most tired as the content wears thin (minus yesterday, I just couldn’t think of anything good to say at all!).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Call it a Diary</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I had a casting at the BBC Television Centre today. Every time I go there I always feel a sense of importance. Just knowing who has been inside it makes me have an overwhelming feeling of worth (a bit like teabagging an oscar, or something similar of course). I had a pretentious idea that I should walk in and out of the building with a smug (but undeserving) face for the next three hours so passersby thought I was famous. I didn’t though, because I don’t think anyone would see the funny side and well I’d look like a bit of a dick head walking out then a minute later walking back in and repeating (although I am giggling a little bit at the thought because I’m a sad tired ill man). I tend to get really bored waiting for my scenes so I usually create things I should do. It reminds me of a story that Zack Galifianakis told on The Nerdist podcast. While he was in a film called Below, he would have quite a few days off and the production would give him money to spend on food. He was hanging about at night in Trafalgar Square, bored. So he would go to random strangers, trying to pay them 50 quid to look at the moon with him.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Train Piss</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Journey back on the train to Euston from White City always has a long winded feeling even though it’s only about six stops. At one point of the journey on this cramped rush hour train, I had a couple in my personal space as they were all up in each others grill, which I could deal with. What I couldn’t deal with is that this particular couple both smelt like piss and sweat. As disturbed as I was, I kind of admired the fact that both of them definitely smelt like it, not just one of them. They were one piss smelling entity. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Turn that Smell Down!</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I managed to get pasta at marks and sparks in Euston before rushing to my train. I sat down and looked at my pasta in excitement as I had not eaten for a few hours and it was my opportunity to show this pasta whose boss. As soon as I opened it, some guy standing up walked past me and yelled “turn that smell down!”. I was initially confused and a little scared so I just said “sorry ok will do” as he pressed the button to first class and left. I couldn’t think of anything clever to say, in fact I can’t think of anything clever to say towards it now. It was just so random and I don’t think he really knew what he said, he only knew how he felt, that my pasta was fucking stinky, and it was, there was no denying it. Kind of makes me think that something really must of pissed him off and my pasta tipped him over the edge. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Summary</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">If you know me then you’d know I’m not a huge clubbing fan. So when I find an album with pictures of a local club doing a wet tshirt competition, I was a bit jubilant. As I went through it, I noticed all the girls were drunk and they all were victims of terribly timed photographs (quite a few of them look like they’ve been asked to do there best elephant man being slapped in the face with a wet fish look), also there is a photo of a naked man, within this photograph you can see the floor of where they are doing the wet tshirt competition, is all yellow. Nothing more sexy then drunken women dancing and prancing about in wee. This blog has the most mention of urine in it, which really pisses me off.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Here’s the link of what I’m talking about, I didn’t put the photo up as I don’t want to inflict it on anyone, just click on it and look at the water. But it really does sum up why i don't go clubbing, let alone in Watford.</div><br />

Turned out it wasn’t the laptop but was coming from my mum shaving my step dads back. Brilliant. Today has been allright just quite frustrating for no good reason. What has ultimately frustrated me in a tiny way is the mental block I am currently having. I just don’t feel capable of having an intriguing analytical thought today, at all.

<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Introduction</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">This might be a short one, it might not. Actually I won’t put it in that bracket I’ll just put it in the “just one of those day’s” category. This is due to my tiredness along with contributing factors of not feeling well at all and others I don’t feel necessary to mention. I won’t go into yesterday night to which is a factor to blame in why I’d probably feel a little bothered/like a mess, but lets just say, it was “one of those nights”. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>One of Those Days</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">This “just one of those days” scenario is a day compacted with tiny mishaps and unfortunate events. So far I’ve managed to forget I had crisps in my pocket when I sat down, got up to fast from a lying position and lost sight for a few seconds and fell up the stairs (not downstairs, I’m not an animal). The best one was when I tried to pump myself up for the day by looking in the mirror and telling myself “it’ll all be ok” (I never usually do that, too scared my reflection will reply with “nothing will be ok until you kill your neighbours” or something to that description), only to notice I had chocolate on the side of my neck, which is bad, but not as bad as recalling the last time I had chocolate was yesterday afternoon. My reaction to it all could be a number of options, all as significant and drama queeny the higher up the metaphorical ladder of options I go. I’ve gone with the option of sighing and then getting on with it (which is how I deal with pretty much all my problems, even when I had a problem about how much I sigh). The one I try to avoid the most is getting angry at something that I can’t change, this is due to the fact that I will gain nothing from getting myself so stressed out about it (F**K YOU LARGE HADRON COLLIDER, WHY DON’T YOU PARTICLE ACCELORATE THESE NUTS WHILE YOU ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND THE DEEPER MEANING OF MY GOOCH, anyway.) Actually completely off subject for a moment, comedian appreciation time:</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><br />
</span></u></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/sk7ERAAV8is?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><br />
</span></u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Why Get so Angry at Nothing?</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I try not to get angry at the small things, what’s the point of it? It’ll just get me more stressed, which in turn isn’t good for my health or the people surrounding me (when I get angry I have a tendency to roundhouse kick blindly, I don’t actually but can you imagine?! I can, you won’t believe what I just imagined! That’s right, a rhino playing hopscotch on the back of a tiny unicorn, the spike headed cracka). When I see people go all drama queen on my ass and get really angry about the small things, I just get down. Then when they’ve resolved their problems by listening to some depressing music and dropkicking a dyslexic down some alphabetty spaghetti stairs (it’s a featuring trend in Slovakia), they are met with a disappointed smile, as they notice I wasn’t really cool with the outburst. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">A problem of mine is that I tend to give people too many excuses, in the sometimes futile attempt to understand the modicum of motivation they had used to be disgruntled. But when it comes down to it, I tend to fall back on the more plausible and consistently correct deduction that they are just over reacting and being a little childish. I just don’t get why people relish in making a big deal out of a little thing. It’s like saying “the car is ruined” just because someone deleted a photo of said car on their phone. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Why can’t people just realise that maybe some things aren’t worth getting angry about? Why can’t we all just notice that when thing’s can’t be changed, then they can’t be changed, no matter how many post-boxes you kick and punch out of primal frustration and built up rage. I say this because I used to do it (get angry, not practice judo on an inanimate objects, I don’t want to be embarrassed when I get my arse kicked by it), but now I just chill. Life is a conundrum, an unexplainable ride of experiences and emotions with no real control over anything with a heartbeat. Surely we all know this, so let’s just make things run smoother, no-one wants another dyslexic kicked down a spiral staircase while they carry books (which they no doubt read perfectly the liars! Kidding)</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Summary</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I’ve decided the “it’s just one of those days” invigilator is a Tyrannosaurus Rex. With this knowledge, I’ve deduced the proclamation that I shall not move all day, and as we all know, good ol’ Rexxy can only see moving creatures (I got that from Jurassic Park, but the more I think about it the more I start to think that it can’t be true, because that’d be so pointless and they’d be screwed travelling near trees. With that and the tiny arms, I’m starting to think they perhaps were disabled nerds and the Spinosaurus mocked them in the locker room after P.E, while the iguanodon dribbled and gave a constant thumbs up. Bullies I say! Bullies! God, I’ve just realised I just did a few jokes for a crowd that is smaller then a Sex in the City Storyline). I can obviously say I was wrong at the beginning, it wasn’t short at all! And for that I say, deal with it! Don’t like it? Well I’m having one of those days (and the blog becomes full circle).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u>Introduction</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">“Hey Sean, try and sort yourself out quickly so we can leave early” “OK sure”. Two hours later “Sean, you sorted?” “Yes”. Meanwhile in reality, I’ve gone ahead and wasted about 2hours looking at trailers and not done anything else! So, I thought I’d put it to use by putting up my top four Trailers! There are obvious ones I was going to link but have decided not to. Want to know my obvious ones? New Dark Knight Trailer to which I’m really excited about (Bane looks like Scorpion from Mortal Kombat but I’m really not complaining). Others are Fright Night and the new Johnny English filmoreno. Anyway, my top four trailers of this week!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><u><i><b>Top Four Trailers of the Week </b></i></u></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><u><i><b>Four: The Ides of March</b></i></u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://2.gvt0.com/vi/McCt-_yYLpo/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/McCt-_yYLpo&fs=1&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/McCt-_yYLpo&fs=1&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div><div class="MsoNormal">I just couldn't not put this in. I happen to not only be a huge fan of Ryan Gosling and George Clooney (slight man crush on him), but Paul Giamatti as well. If you have ever seen him in Shoot'em Up or Sideways, you’d understand my love for him. So with those powerhouses, along with Philip Seymour Hoffmen, it is guaranteed to atleast be a semi adequate film. This slick film is about an idealistic Ryan Gosling learning all about the dos and don’ts in the dirty game of politics. Probably a possible Oscar contender, if not that then an obvious further stepping stone Ryan Gosling is on to solidify him as a well regarded actor.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><u><i><b>Three: Archies Final Project</b></i></u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/yIXkuWUZpm8?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="MsoNormal">This stylised documentary style movie has won a ludicrous amount of film awards, understandably as well. It’s got a real Super size Me/Zeitgeist sort of feel mixed with shards of A Scanner Darkly with the cartoon style bits. Gabriel Sunday plays Archibold Holden Buster Williams (I’d feel the same way he does if I had that name) who plans to film his own suicide for his film project, this idea brings attention from all those around him, including the nutty Sierra Silver (played by Brooke Nevin). The film looks entertaining, maybe a little heavy at points but there isn’t anything wrong with that. Would definitely fill the independent craving hole (you filthy devil you). Huge props to Gabriel Sunday, the guy wrote, edited and produced this film!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><u><i><b>Two: The Last Circus</b></i></u> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://2.gvt0.com/vi/C8sEZAB13_o/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/C8sEZAB13_o&fs=1&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/C8sEZAB13_o&fs=1&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div>This looks mental. Absolutely mental! I know people who have problems with foreign films because of there style and because they just can’t be asked to read (if you feel that way then you are missing out on Guillermo Del Toro movies like Pan’s and The Orphanage along with Rec and Javier Bardem’s Biutiful…Microsoft Word is going nuts at that sentence, the racist). This film honestly looks awe-inspiring and creatively driven in so many directions. It really is admirable in this day and age of movies that suffer from originality and sequelitis (you can get cream for that) that they would have the balls to release this.<br />
<br />
In 1937, a "Happy" clown is forcibly recruited to serve in the <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Spanish Civil War</span>, where he massacres an entire platoon with a machete still in costume.<br />
In 1973, near the end of the <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Franco regime</span>, the clown's son, Javier, follows in his father's footsteps to become a clown, but he is too miserable to be funny and is instead relegated to play the part of the Sad Clown. There he is repeatedly humiliated by the Happy Clown Sergio for the entertainment of others. Javier later falls in love with Sergio's gorgeous <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">acrobat</span> wife, Natalia. A love triangle ensues between the three of them, and the two clowns engage in a horrific battle with one another (this was taken from Wikipedia, I’m running out of time and the scary clown boner I have is starting to hurt).<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>One: Tucker and Dale vs Evil </b></i></u><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/RFFh25DmPNU?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="MsoNormal">I’m really craving this film, like maoam sugarcoated in crack cocaine. It has a sexy Shaun of the Dead feel to it. This spoof movie has such an original idea, showing the story of the hicks who aren’t actually killing them but have become a centre focus of a series of unfortunate accidents and presumptions (presumptions causing problems? Unheard of in life, sour sour flower power….*shrugs*). Not that I’m saying the mutated hicks in The Hills Have Eyes weren’t killing anyone (chainsaw hug anyone?). The hillbillys are played by Tyler Labine (Reapers) and Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Serenity, I Robot, Dodgeball).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Summary</u></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal">If your goal is to be disturbed by a film then The Hills Have Eyes Two is the film for you! Hell, the first three minutes involving a pregnant lady was disturbing enough, let alone the badger in a gimp mask (not actually in there, a boy can dream though). Anyway, I apologise if you want a further in-depth analysis of these films, I’m not clambering at excuses like a child with a bloody knife and a new furry jacket, but I haven’t watched the movies yet so will probably be able to really go into the Mise-en-scène on a later date. Have a good weekend my beardy weirdies (that’s right, you got a name now, so off you go and frolock!) </div>Sean Joseph Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02881276782565464881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683385647197980277.post-84076039535783228522011-08-19T14:36:00.000-07:002011-08-20T07:31:03.967-07:00Day Eighteen- Stranger Observing (kinder word than stalking)<div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: underline;"><b><i>Introduction</i></b></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I’m writing this blog on a mac, which even though i’ve used macs before and i’ve obviously used a computer before, it still feels as if i know nothing about it. Bit like when a stranger asks you to take a photo of them with their camera, even though you’ve taken plenty of photos before you still look at it like its fire to a caveman. The temptation to then put the camera in my mouth is overwhelming, which is probably why i’m on that register. Which brings me onto a few observations about the world of strangers, god that was smooth like a lubed up bit of smooth peanut butter, yum mothernutty yum.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: underline;"><b><i>Oh, Something is on my Finger?</i></b></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Saw a weird thing today, a lady had some food on her finger so she licked it off (WOAW! Stay away from my children ya freak), which as a 19 year old teenager, I slightly enjoyed but she kept doing it. I, to no surprise, started to get freaked out as minutes went by and she just kept sucking that finger, really strongly as well like her finger has turned into a straw filled with delicious treats. What the hell was on her finger!? Or did she suck on it then have a miraculous discovery that she was a gummy cannibal! It was that sort of thing that made me realize that less was more, if she was trying to woo all the men in the carriage, then she had been successful for the first 10 seconds, then after that it just got a bit creepy and admittedly, a little scary (last time i got scared for my life after witnessing something sucking was when i said Zoey Deschanel wasn’t very good in Tin Man, they went straight for the metaphorical jugular and called me a pretentious ****, even though i loved her in 500 days of summer and Hitch Hikers Guide). She’s probably still on that train covered in dribble and missing a hand. That’d be an awful story at the prosthetics department wouldn’t it? “I lost my arm by distracting a lion from mauling my grandchildren, what about you?” “I just got carried away on a train, doctors said I should start chewing bubble gum before I strike again”.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: underline;"><b><i>Dark Temptations</i></b></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">A few months back on the train to victoria (the station), i heard a man say to his girlfriend, “don’t stand in front of me, i might push you onto the tracks” (because thats what love does to you). I can’t replicate the tone he said it in by writing it, but you can understandably guess it was happy in tone but with a slight sinister underlining (a bit like having a nice warm duvet but then recalling you’ve been on holiday for two weeks and there isn’t any way that the duvet could be warm other then ghosts or the more commonly known phenomenon of a 2 second fire duvet tornado). I openly admit I've walked behind someone going down some stairs and thought “i could scissor kick you in the back of the head right now”, but saying it out loud is a little sinister, maybe not as evil as actually doing it but hey, swings and roundabouts. </span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: underline;"><b><i>Prioritising</i></b></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">It’s something we all do, like when I had to either save my grandchildren from a lion or keep playing Call of Duty, there facebooks are a hurtful reminder that I really should have kept playing Call of Duty(I don't actually have grandchildren, I'm 19 and my pet lion needed feeding). I try to be a good guy so when I see someone struggle with carrying things upstairs, i offer my assistance. Strange thing is, I tend to get evil looks then a stern no when I ask if they need there bags carrying up, but when it comes to babies in prams, its an instant yes and do you want to keep it. I’m just waiting for the day when there is a woman with a pram and bags and I ask if she needs any help and she just says “you can’t carry my bags as they are bags for life, this little git is going to piss off when he’s 16, that and I got the bag on purpose...”.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: underline;"><b><i>Summary</i></b></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">People are fantastic aren’t they? Minus the violent and evil ones of course, unless you are cheeky and witty with your evilness then you are more then welcome to hang around with me! Just going completely off subject with this, but don’t you hate it on facebook when you see someone liking a like group called “quietly thinking to yourself “Step aside motherf*ckers" when entering a dancefloor” and just knowing they aren’t joining it ironically.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><br />
