My Brain Monkeys

Every so often i will have a night where i am unable to sleep just as i lay my head down, at this point in time my head starts going crazy and i come up with ideas. its like my brain monkey* is hyped up on redbulls and is working double time. 

A few nights ago i experienced the hyper brain monkey action and it set my mind going i was cleaver enough to write down some of these ideas that i had come up with this time around, and i'm going to act on them i shared my idea with my good friend Ben and he told me that he thought it was good i'm not going to tell you what it is exactly but i will tell you that i was an idea for a story a scifi story. from talking to Ben my mind expanded even more and it was like the brain monkeys had taken some rittelin and where more focused all of a sudden the idea expanded i had not created a story i had created a world where stories could take place each new thing expanded and the world got larger with every discussion we had about this world and now i am going to act on this and try and put to gather all my ideas about this world and start writing a story that are involved around this world who knows maybe it will turn out better than i thought and ill get carried away with the writing, i'm enjoying coming up with things in the world now i just have to finish creating it and then ill start sharing my stories.

Sneaky crisps

Today i learnt a lesson again that i thought i would have learnt by now, kettle chips are not all that. I usually find my self drawn to these packets of crisps with one thought, these are the kings of the crisp world, there are many reasons that my mind comes to this conclusion, they are slightly more expensive than regular crisps the name of them is in fancy piratesk type font which give me the urge to say "Kettal Chiiiips arrrrge" every time i pick them up, and finally they use posh sounding names for the flavors which are actually the same flavors as normal crisps for example Sea Salt & Balsamic vinegar. 

Now i start eating these crisps and i am immediately hit with a wall  of disappointment, these don't taste like crispy dreams, there nothing more than a regular crisp there not special at all if anything there slightly less crispy the last packet i ate some where more on the chewy side, there impostors and they are masters of disguise but then you open a packet other than the disappointment of not tasting as delicious as you would have hoped there is barley any in the packet another let down, so i say damn you Kettle Chip's damn you with your sneaky packet, i will try and avoid buying you again but the moment i forget that lesson i should have learnt i will be doing a pirate impression buying another packet just to be disappointed once again.

Fighting Boredom

Over the years i have had my fair share of boredom moments but recently have have started to set in a little bit more often, i put this down to giving up playing world of warcraft. Now i dont have any urges to go back to this game its very addictive and it takes up allot of time but i need something to replace this "hobbie"

So iv looked at a few things one would be vlogging i have so far done one video and have a few ideas of what i would like to do in others but have yet to follow through with any of the ideas yet, i have started a blog as well and so far i have made it do my 3rd post (this one) i looked in to doing a podcast and i have actually recorded one episode of my blog so far but have found that doing it drunk with some friends probably wasn't the best idea so far so i may need to re do that one sober it may make a bit more sense then.

and the last thing that i have come up with is writing, for a while now i have had many ideas of things that i might like to write so now that i have this extra time i think i'm going to put it in to writing, i have a few ideas for a few stories that i want to write some being comedies and some being Scifi.

so iv started writting some of my ideas for things down and when i get the ball rolling i hope it will turn in to something good, who knows mabee ill be able to make some videos out of what i write.

Books

So i found my self reading some books again after a very long time since i last read one, but at the moment i think i have managed to watch almost everything i have wanted to watch on tv now so it turns out i have allot of spare time on my hands so well reading seemed like a good idea, for multiple reasons im hoping that it will give me some ideas to help with some writing that i want to do my self and i hope it will also get my mind working a bit faster again to, i found that my recent coke addiction (coca-cola) has slowed down my mind so im trying to drink less of it and drink more water i hear this will get my brain working a bit quicker again fingers crossed.

So i found my self reading Are you Dave Gorman? After watching the new series on the BBC Genius (which did originally start out as a radio series) i have recently had urges to go back and reread some of the other things that Dave has worked on, i watched the TV series when it was on TV and really enjoyed it but never managed to get around to reading this book, i love the way that throughout the book which was also co written by Danny Wallace they both seem to be telling the same story but in there own words with all of Daves parts written in Bold and all of Dannys parts not in bold i think this works really well. its great how you can see each of the reactions to the same situation and see what they where thinking at the time. Im really enjoying this read and finding it very funny i haven't yet finished but i hope to be soon then maybe ill move on to something else.

When i sleep

This week iv been left to look after the parents house and feed the cat while there on holiday a task that i thought wouldn't be to hard the fridge would be stocked. I thought id take advantage of this situation of feeding the cats first thing in the morning as an opportunity to shift my sleeping pattern back to a closer to normal time, this hasn't even closely happened yet i've managed to wake up at the right time so that i can feed the cats but find that the second i sit down after i just fall straight asleep again. altho i usually enjoy the night time i feel its about time i joined the majority of the world and live my life during the day rather than the night, especially as now my uni life is nearing its end im going to have to get a real persons job which is likely to start during the day so unless i find some way to change the time zones so that it fits my sleeping pattern.
