Just a quick note rant on New Year Resolutions.

My opinion on the matter is, if you have to wait until one day of the year to make a decision that is going to better your life, then... you're probably not going follow through with it.

Every day is the first day of a new year, so if you plan on starting something, start now. I nearly vomited myself when that popped into my head... but it's true.

An epic three day blitz of Paris was just what was required to clear the mind of the London blues.

I've been meaning to post this for some time, right across the road from where I live is a boutique grocery called you guessed it the grocer. Hilariously it's identical to this skit by Harry & Paul, I laugh every time I walk by the store. I do occasionally get sucked in by their £2 lamington cakes, two freaking pounds... but they saw me coming.

As a part of the Street & Studio exhibition that ran a couple months ago at the Tate Modern, the curators selected various works from the public through flickr and have created an accompanying exhibition book. I believe that said photos and book will be appearing at the Tate Britain (not sure why) on the 7th of November as a part of the Late at the Tate program that night.

So this is a picture that has been floating around in my head for the last couple of weeks.

As most of my friends will testify, I like to talk about the apocalypse. In particular the post apocalyptic scenarios that would unfold, as the deep panic sets into society that the world will never be the same, I like to think that I could put my heightened wits to the test, and fulfill my ultimate goal (in such a scenario), steal a 50 ft yacht and sail back to Australia, of course the toughest part would be getting out of London not the treacherous ocean voyage.

All these scenarios, usually begin with a dirty bomb, or germ/chemical warfare unleashed by terrorists upon us the naive masses of the world. Alas the last few months (past year) have shed far greater foes to society.

Of course I'm not going to jump into a political debate, but the definition of terrorism is fear, and I'm pretty sure that fear has been struck deep into the hearts of many a person as billions are wiped from their collective net worth, as companies shed their employees as willingly as a dirty pro sheds her clothes, and while the newspapers print more and more photographs of traders slumped in their chairs holding their heads contemplating suicide, we spiral deeper and deeper.

Once again thanks to Tom Prendergast for the loanage of the chem warfare mask, I know he to thinks about the end of the world, and I'll have it back to ya in a jiffy!

Feel free to leave a comment on flickr!

Creativity is bustling in ol London town, On the weekend a group of us got together in one of the coolest locations I've ever been to make some imagery. More to come!
