Mayday

Wow I can't believe it is May already. Where has all the time gone? It is really scary. I guess I start every blog post saying I wonder where the time has gone, but this time I am really confused! Time has just shot by! Well that could also be that April was a pretty busy month and a good month for me to get my head together and plan out the future. As always there is a lot going on in my head, but at last the dust is slowly clearing and I can see a path ahead to what and where I want to be in the future. Upto now there has been too much emphasis on chasing so many different strands, but the time has come to fully focus on what my real dreams are and focus on making them happen.

So April part II in brief...well basically that consisted of Dead by Dawn. Four fantastic days of great films and great company. This year was a real improvement on last year, with the Japanese film 'The Last Supper' being a really stand out film. There is so much to write about, but time is a bit tight at the moment. Just to say thanks to John and Tahra for there fantastic hospitality (and trip to the Whiskey Society!!) and Ade and Craig for great company...and not forgetting Hal who was sadly missed, but no doubt will return in great form for DeadbyDawn 2007!

I have been reading a fair bit at the moment and I am currently enjoying the fantastic Zen and the art of motorcyle maintenance, i started reading it many years ago but never finsihed, I am now enjoying every single second. After finishing The Big Questions which is one of the best books I have read in a long time, I had to go out and order Lou Marinoff's other book Plato not Prozac which I really can't wait to start reading.

Other things of note are Picasa, which is an absolutly fantastic image and photo application for the PC. I was looking for something similar to iPhoto on the PC and this is it. As you can see on the previous blogs, with one click I can add a photo to a blog, but more then that, it make the process of online albums so much easier. Futher to Hal's recommendation I am also looking at setting up a Flickr account as I really want to share more of my photos online. The gallery at Spencerbruce.com is fine, but it isn't the easiest thing in the world to maintain and it is time for a change I think. I am still working on a new website, but that has taken a bit of a back seat over the last few weeks.

More to come soon

Peace
