Journal

Back! Who am i?

It's been a while! I have not been on for a while but I think the video thing kinda put me off, I kept recording but the editing part was a nightmare in more ways than one. In turn I kinda got put off doing the journal and so have taken a break.

SO! What has been happening in the life of Mike'ee... quite a bit really, nothing overly dramatic which is a good thing, I have noticed my life being less dramatic of the past few months. Knocking certain things on the head makes for an easier life, although some would say otherwise...

The studio has been slowly taking over my life to the point that all I seem to see nowadays is my next shot, good in some way and bad in others. Last month saw the launch of 76 Imagery (www.76photography.co.uk) and

it seems to have a better response than SWS (not a good thing in my book!!) Although my new 76 poster seems to be creating a stir outside my door as I type this... Maybe it's the naked man in the waterfall photo doing the trick!

Ok gonna break it up a little......

Just getting over a small head cold which kinda make me disorientated and sleep deeper than usual which is not a bad thing but I have been having odd dreams too (we'll come to that later.)

I was sitting in a fast food place (I know, I know) and there were 2 ladies sitting on the next table ,the first got up to use the toilet and shortly after the second did the same, nothing unusual as women always go to the toilet in pairs or more sometimes(morel support while peeing maybe?) Anyway I never noticed before but I realised there was a baby in a pushchair left alone while they were in the toilet....WTF!! You'd think it would be common sense to either wait with the baby or take it with you right? I did not time how long they were gone for but the first (the mother) was gone much longer than the first, that's childcare for you eh! (Oh and no they were not even english!)

I am not sure what it is but the older I get the more laid back I seem to become, putting aside all the work and being busy with the studio, my daily life has become something of someone who just wants to relax. I had to think about the last time I actually went into a bar, most people go once a week or couple times a month my last time was with a couple of work colleagues back in March! Nothing bad as I quite like it really. But that is not the only odd thing, I prefer to take my baths in darkness (or low lighting) not only does it relax me more but I get much of my inspiration for my work and brings out the more laid back version of me.

Of course the downside of deep relaxing is the odd dreams I seem to get on and off, I have dreamt I was living in a different country to exhibiting works I have not created, The dreams eased when I changed how my bed round a little and where in the bed I sleep, although I did hit my head against the wall twice from being disorientated in the morning!

I have not forgotten about the Station but realised no matter what I write about it frustrates me more so gonna try and refrain from entering much about it unless of course i get REALLY frustrated which might happen (as it has over the past couple months) but hey so far so good at this present moment (mainly because I am not there!)

Which reminds me, did I mention they hired back most of the people they originally made redundant in the first place? I was amazed but in some way I think I won as I got a decent roster and more time to run my little baby...

Well am gonna try and fill this thing a little more over the coming weeks/months even if it is odd ramblings about stupid things.
