Long Time Away

Wow. I cannot believe how long it's been since I last posted. At this point it would be traditional to remark on how much things have changed - well, in one way they have, in many ways they have not. I'm working now, in the Film and TV industry no less.

Yes, "The Industry", which from the outside seems like the Holy Grail, but once you're in you realise that it's neither holy, nor a grail, but merely a moderately dirty cup that you may get a nice drink from once in a while. Still, it pays well enough, and it's not bad work. Rather be doing this than a great number of other things.

I have to keep reminding myself that I'm only 21, that I have plenty more time to do interesting and meaningful stuff - but it doesn't feel like that. It feels more like a quarter of my life is gone and past, and time is running out. Which is actually the case.

Anyway, this post turning rather depressing, which isn't how I really feel - I've got a great set of friends, good church, and there are libraries and video shops - honestly what else could I ask for?

On another note, I'm thinking about starting to review films on here. Oh, I know it's not like there isn't enough review sites, but everyone has a different slant and I like to express mine. It's possible some people might like to hear it as well I suppose. So I'll probably be updating here a wee bit more often than has been the norm of late.

PS Disclaimer: Just because I review a film, does not mean I am recommending it. Merely that it caught my interest for one reason or another. I recommend movies to people individually, not in general, for obvious reasons. If you'd like a recommendation, feel free to ask in the comments or contact me via email. Cheers.

Hi Christopher, loved reading your blog, you are very insightful. I too feel that life slips by too fast and I havn't done alot of stuff I want to and that time will run out before I get to.
