Com-Pear-Tish-On.

So. There's a competition on saturday at the skatepark.

Hmm.

Well, I'm boned.

Nah, but seriously, I'm gonna go and have fun. Because THAT, ladies and gents, is why I skate. Alot of people seem to have forgotten about this...

On another note, here's a picture of the lovely Noushka, who's kindly been my photography model for that last few weeks:

The jump-starting of a blog
Well now. It HAS been a while.

Although I can't quite put across a Manchester accent in text, I'll begin with a hearty "'ow's it goin' lads and ladies?!" I was mulling over the events of "Misfits" (More to follow) whilst listening to the great Bob Dylan, an artist who I've recently been ruining for myself by playing him on repeat. Anyway, whilst filling my ears with "The times, they are a-changin'," I remembered THIS little slice of web 2.0 was knocking about in cyberspace. So, without further ado, let's generate some new content, shall we?

To start, I'm in college ladies and gents! The days of high school are only spoken of in nostalgic tales of yesteryear! Okay, maybe I'm romanticising it a little, but it's great nonetheless. Studying Media, English Language, Graphic Design and Photography, I'll have you know. Tell you what, why not have a breakdown of my subject. Time for a colon followed swiftly by a list:

English Language - Great subject I reckon. Okay, so MAYBE it's a little excessive on the grammar, but I can deal with that, I'm in it for the creative writing. Met some truely lovely characters in that class, my teacher Anne included. Generally I'd say it's a nice class, and I have a good time of it.

Photography - With (for the most part) the esteemed Richard, another nice teacher. Photography's great, it's really letting me go nuts with my camera. Never felt more creative in my life.

Graphics - With Peter and Simon, both very... arty, I think is the word. Again, doing wonders for expression, I'm pumping out some great designs at the minute (and this is me, self-critical above all else!)

Media - With Nicola. Well, although it might be a BIT tedious, I do need the qualification, and there are certain bits which are great fun sometimes. Relax with the good Mr. Ste Crossley (his blog can be found by Clicking Here)

I'll be leaving for now, expect further updates. Watch the skies, and all that jazz.

Love, Jack
