Wow, its been a while since my last blog post on the Ning. Probably because I stopped vlogging for about 3 weeks and, well, this is my vlogging blog. Anyway, on to today's topic.

Today I post a vlog video that was 1 minute and 25 seconds. This is my shortest video (excluding my first video introducing the vlog) and significantly less than my average (probably around 3:30 or so). I have mentioned cutting down my production/post production time and also cutting my final video length,…

Hello Nerdfighteria! Long time, no see!

In the time that I've been absent, school has ended, I've gone to Italy and Paris, and I've started a YouTube channel with four of my friends!

Our username is "OhHeyItsThatGroup" (excuse the lack of apostrophe, YouTube usernames don't allow them) and we (try) to upload videos every day.

It's in the style of 5AG, where one person uploads a video on the same day of the week- for example, my videos are uploaded on…

Enjoy!

“Haven’t you ever just wished for that one place where you could be you?”

“I have. I’ve spent so much time dreaming of it; daydreaming even. Just the thought of that perfect place makes me feel relaxed:A lonely place, one with grass and trees everywhere. I would find the tallest tree and sit against it, drowning myself in the shade. There would be nothing but…

I heard this word and decided i needed to write a story about it. Petrichor is the smell of dry earth after rain and literally translates from the Greek as blood of the earth. It was also featured in Dr. Who 

Petrichor by D. Brennan

The clouds mingled in the air with dying light of…

Just a short preamble this was inspired by a line from Bill Hicks that went we are one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. So here you go enjoy.

The Egg

Adam was cruising along in his average family saloon when through an all too prevalent defect with the braking system he slammed into a typical oak and as is commonplace with this type of collision his brain ricocheted around his skull and disintegrated like it had been in…

Hi fellow nerdfighters! 

I don't really blog, but i thought this might be a great place to get some intellegent criticism on my short story by some people whos opinion I value. So here it is. PLEASE read and comment to tell me what you think; all input is welcome. It really would mean the world to me.…

Yesterday I posted a blog post (which you can read here) explaining an idea I've had for a while. Whilst typing out my idea I realized how amazing this idea would be as a collaborative effort.

Basically I have a lot of poems, short stories, unfinished works, random ramblings and odd doodles and collages lying around. So I…

This is the beginning of a story story I wrote a few nights ago. I don't know how it ends. Or if it ends. The characters don't have names. It's not edited. It's just a story. I think it's kind of morbid. Enjoy.

You never really know what to expect in a graveyard. Sure, there’s always the usual crumbling headstone, the moldering ornamental flowers left by a guilt-ridden loved one, or some anonymous do-gooder. There’s…

Panic. Yellow splotched summer sky, mid afternoon, Sun scorched and burning contently. Zoom in, a large shadow streaked across the docile grass, wet from early rain, cold, inviting, resting. A figure jaunts across the shadow, his frame splotched red green yellow and blue. His eyes, tired, hating, throbbing. His shirts been torn, wrenched around his neck, the collar like a frayed guitar string, limp, wiry, twisted. Pale legs strut till his bones are seen writhing out from underneath their…

Why? This is the only question I can ask myself when someone sends me an email containing " hi how r u? im gr8! wats new w/ u? lol " I find this a horrible and confusing mess of letters and numbers that should never have crossed paths.

All the letters are in lower case. Some words contain numbers and some are shortened so badly it makes me weep for the next generation. Also what is the point of that unneeded "lol"? This is not English.

Sometimes I'm unsure whether if I'm…

I quite like kid's books. Lauren Child,  Hilary McCay, Those Terry Pratchetts for younger readers, Roald Dahl... the list goes on...

But at my local library, my choice afternoon hangout, (No John Green yet though) there's one guy who kinda stands out. His name is Eoin Colfer, and I believe you have him over the pond... anyway, his books are hard to get into, but when actually interested, the rest of reality goes ghjfghj.... and fades away. And there's more. The books feature…
