I spent a good part of today (Saturday 10th-Nov 2007) in Ipswich. I was trying to get as many people as possible to voice their opinions on the subject of Street Art (aka: Graffiti or Urban Art)
It is probably an easy thing to do for most, but seeing as I am definitely NOT the most self assured or confident person in the world, for me this was a mission in itself. So far I have around 10 individual voices recorded (with permission) for use on my website as the background to one of the Street Art videos I put together.

I will never understand why I don't have much confidence as I know I am not a horrible monster or even a miserable old git. But when it comes to talking to people I find it so damn hard. I never used to be like that. In the past I have been heavily into writing music and getting involved with bands as I have always played the piano and keyboards and always enjoyed being the semi centre of attention. But I guess as I got older I hid myself away somewhere.

Anyway. Enought of the sad self indulgent "please feel sorry for me" talk. Things can always be a lot worse. I think the worst thing of all is the fact that....actually I am going to shut up and leave it there as there are people far worse off than I feel I am.

Bye bye for now Blog.

Oh and for the record, I met someone today who seems to have stayed in my mind all day. I am not going to divulge any details as theres no point. But rest assured if I would have had the will power and had had a drink I would have bought this person the biggest bunch of flowers and had them delivered to where she was at the time. Thanks to this person for helping me out and giving me a metaphorical kick up the bum which allowed me to start the ball rolling with getting more people to answer my questions. xx
