Ideas, Time and Something different.

Hey all,

I’m breaking through the invisible wall, escaping from you, escaping from all.

Well, that’s it. Another well earned break from School and I’m so relieved I’ve decided to write up a post about a subject unfamiliar to my regular readers. Basically, I’ve been working on a writing project with a good friend of mine, and I thought I would just tell you about it (not enough to ruin it for you however, but intrigue you hopefully) and some of the planning stages we’ve been going through.

I’ll start off with where the idea sparked from. Basically, we’d just spent a good couple of hours playing Mario-Kart on the Nintendo WII and we decided to take a break and listen to a few songs on You-tube. One we were listening to was ‘Broken’ and we began to chat about how our usual projects never seemed to end, which was usually my own fault because I’ve never been able to stick to something for longer than a week. I hope I can change that however. Anyway, we’re both Doctor Who fans and suddenly, as we were trying to think of an idea, the title ‘Broken’ sent a wild and exciting idea bouncing around my cranium and I quickly grabbed a pen and wrote down the basis, and from there we worked.

Now, I wish I could tell you some of our ideas but we’ve got so many in so many different places that it’s difficult to even write out something to grip you. I mean, at first we got a lot of basic ideas down but then as time progressed we had to really think about it and then more importantly agree and come to a point in which we were both ‘cool’ with what would happen. The book is TIME based, and looking at it now, it’s been VERY hard to come up with ideas and such, and then find a way in which they could possibly work. Myself and Matthew (Check his blog out, link to the right) have had several nights of sheer planning on MSN and numerous times it’s been on one or two ideas that we’ve tried to perfect. We’re planning, I think, to do a trilogy and we have a lot of the first book and the background and characters for the whole thing sorted out. Anyway, it’s just a short blogpost, but before I end, here’s something of a teaser.

‘Don’t let him get past you, he might break through something very important’.

Also, I would love to hear your views on my new blog name, and whether it still works. Thanks, and have a nice weekend.

Yours,

Smiling = Changing

Hey all,

Thou art the spirit in the mind, yet it sometimes thou leave it behind.

It’s been a while hasn’t it? My apologies, I’ve had both revision and a lack of inspiration to deal with, so, my bad. Anyway, before I begin, I have three lyrics on my other blog ‘tomjackfox’ so if you have any time, feel free to have a read. Anyway, today’s blog is about both ‘Change’ and how it can mess you up or make you stronger, and ‘Smiling’.

Change is something we all have to go through, I mean, nothing we do will ever make everything stay the same. Some Change is good, some is bad, but all is unexpected. Even if you know something’s going to change, it is never as you fully expect it, and therefore it is surprising. In my own experience, Change is like Karma. If you do something good, things will change for the greater good, whereas if you do something bad, things change for the worse.

However, saying that, it doesn’t mean we can’t choose to change. A lot of people talk about how you should be who you are, not do things because everyone else wants you to, but if you want to, feel free too. Even though I’m against peer pressure, it’s up to you. You control your life nobody else. So, if you want to change, you have the right too, don’t listen to any of the god damn negativity surrounding today’s society. Change, however unexpected, can be controlled. Like I’ve said in my other blogs, I’m constantly trying to change, and trying to get other people to change, but a lot of people dislike change. Maybe they need to buckle down, and ready themselves, because change is everywhere, and in today’s day and age, change is just around the corner, every single god damn corner.

I love to smile. I love to say happy. I think if you have a positive aspect and look at things, you’re bound to affect other people around you. However, not enough of us smile. People get angry over the stupidest of things and cause physical and emotional pain for things done or said. I dislike these types of people, and even though at times I am just like that, as I tend to hit people randomly, I try and not emotionally hurt people as I know, as well as every other teenager across the world, that it hurts in the gut

So, next time you’re out and about, smile. Lighten up someone’s day by looking beyond the stupid and unneeded negativity and brightening the atmosphere. And I know…it hurts. It hurts a lot sometimes when you try and do something nice only to be punished for you’re outburst of goodness. But hell, if you keep trying, maybe you’ll make a small difference. I know I’d like too, but I’m a coward. I would never hit someone purposely in an action to actually hurt them, and if I did, I would apologise. But if I never have, I’m sorry.

So that’s all my uninspired mind could conjure up, I hope it hit you (spiritually though) somewhere, and inspires you to smile. Feel free to comment, and I’ll post as soon as I can, possibly sooner rather than later.

Yours,

Tom Fox
