chapter one: january.

I had originally planned to put together a video for January and post that today alongside this blog post, but that's still in the process of being edited and I really don't have that many video clips from the past month, so I'm not sure that's even going to get posted?

However, here's a blog for a Sunday read...

January has been a weird month, an average month and full of ups and downs. It started productive and positive and has ended pretty much that way too, but I think it's fair to say there was a dip in the middle.
I think this is the first month in a very long time that I've managed to upload on time every day there is a blog due on Music In Time, which hopefully paves the way for the rest of the year too. I know that the same can't be said about this blog etc. but it's a starting place and I think that's what we need to focus on... :P

Music has been a huge part of the past 31 days, whether that be gigs that I've been to, the evenings spent just chilling listening to music with friends or the few songs that I've finally managed to return to and finish myself.
This last week in particular has been a good one; starting with Dad's birthday last weekend, catching up with one of the best friends for a gig on Monday, we saw Eliza and the Bear, and they were pretty incredible live! Then Wednesday I caught up with a small group of 'besties' (I hate saying that but it seemed to fit... Hah) for dinner and a quick game of articulate - we definitely know how to live!
Thursday saw me head to Camden to see another best friend play a gig with his band Risk, they did a great job considering how ill 2/3 of them were! Yesterday involved scouting about for a field to use for our next music event, and today I'm heading to see Hozier in London, which I'm pretty hyped about.

I haven't done any reading this month, well apart from a bit of Stuart Little last night... and I haven't been to the cinema or watched any particular films that have stood out, apart from Robots the other night and God Help The Girl, the latter I watched about five times in the space of one week... Although I'm enjoying Pretty Little Liars being back and watching old seasons of Hell's Kitchen... What has my life come to?

Anyways, that's it for now, expect a blog in the next 29 days, and I'll make more of an effort to do some filming every now and then in February!

Until next time!

hello twenty sixteen.

hello twenty sixteen, it's nice to see you.

i'm pretty hyped for this year to be honest, i've already got tickets for a few gigs, a festival and we're already starting to make plans and grow ideas for Music In Time Presents... which is a scary but exciting prospect.

i don't really think i have any resolutions this year, just to continue on from the second half of last year, and as usual a couple of things i'd like to overcome or get done to a certain extent; from smaller things like watching specific films or reading a couple of books, to bigger things like having healthier and more regular eating patterns, continuing to control / overcome anxiety and connected brain behaviours when i get tired or stressed, being more decisive and going on at least one 'adventure'.

on the whole 'internet world' side of things, i am aiming to blog at the very least once a month, create and upload a video at the very least once a month, and regularly upload on Music In Time Blog. i'm currently struggling to come up with ideas, but i'm hoping i'll get waves of creativity throughout the year and that will fuel blog ideas etc. that i can draft. ideally, i'd like to be uploading once a week but i'm not going to pressure myself to stick to that, especially with what i'm hoping to get done this year...

happy new year to you all, and hope 2016 treats you well.

'til next time!
