So I've just reached a 1000 page views. Don't know whether that's really an achievement for how long I've been blogging for but what the heck I'm happy. Knowing that people out there are reading what you're writing is quite surreal. I guess this post is just going to be my "origin" story if you will and why I started blogging. I've never been much of a talker. I'm one of ...
Well it's Mother's Day, a day where we really get to show our mummies how much we appreciate them because we do a appreciate them right? Mothers are incredible people. They hold you in their bellies for 9 months, lose their figure, going through maybe hours of pain to bring you into this world and give up a hell of a lot to care for you and love you in your early years ...
Relationships and all that Good Stuff
I've been waiting to write a blog post on relationships, but then again what do I know about relationships? I'll tell you what, nothing. I know nothing about relationships seeing as I've never been in one. But I can tell you what I think I know. You learn a lot just by looking at other people's relationships. I think we all know that relationships can be complicated things. ...
You've Got a Bad Taste in Music
You can never say someone has a bad taste in anything. Who are you to tell someone else that their decisions are "bad" because literally when it comes down to it you're no-one. This is mainly due to preference. When people say someone has a "good" taste in music it actually means they have the same taste as you. Just because you like RnB and I like classical that does not ...
Your Wardrobe and You
Normally I have an idea of what I'm going to blog about at least a day in advance before I write it but this just literally came to me just now and everything I'm writing now hasn't really been thought of in advance so may seem a bit inconsistent and flakey. But then again that sounds like most of my posts hence the name "Stream of Consciousness". Anyway I digress, I just ...
Who Are We?
Have you ever sat and wondered to yourself "who am I?". Like who you REALLY are. Get ready deep post coming your way! When we think of people, friends, family members etc we picture what they look like right? But not who they really are. I mean if you think about it, the human body is just a shell, a vessel if you like. The real us is somewhere on the inside. Some say ...
CALLING ALL DIRECTORS AND PRODUCERS
Thought this would be a good way of advertising this and I think is a great opportunity for me and you budding directors and producers! Basically I have a short script and after being in contact with a few production companies in the hopes of getting it produced my script I think is too edgy for them and they are a bit concerned about producing it. This had never crossed ...
The Nature of Cancer Awareness Selfies
I'm going to keep this post pretty short and sweet. Well I'm going to try and keep it short and sweet, whether I succeed remains to be seen. So I'm sure you're all aware about the latest social media trend of girls taking photos with no make up to raise awareness about cancer research. And also the horrifying reverse of boys taking selfies WITH make up. And as always when something ...
We all love a buffet whether it be chinese, pizza or ribs. And we all have our own theories of how we can "beat" the buffet. But let's be serious we're never actually going to "beat" the buffet are we? And what exactly does it mean to "beat" the buffet. Eating more than you've paid for, not being full when you leave or the buffet closes before you're full? I'm not going ...
You Can Find Me in the Club
As a teenager and a University student clubbing has suddenly slowly crept into my life, like a bad smell. I still haven't quite made up my mind about the clubbing scene because for someone who doesn't drink it's quite hard to get in to. I went clubbing the other day and I only saw it fitting to write a blog post about it. So here we go. Let's start with pre-drinks. Or ...
Name Changing
So as you all know the name of this blog is Stuff of Legend. Many of you are probably wondering why, and what it means and let me tell you. First of all this ain't English Literature, you don't have to read too far into it and find things I didn't even intend on putting there. The short answer to all your questions is nothing! The title means nothing I literally called it ...
The Art of Messaging
Messaging has become something of an art today with the prevalence of smart phones, Facebook, Whatsapp and all these other messaging services. We are now considered to be either good or bad messengers and I've come across a wide range. For those of you who don't know what messaging is, it's when you send someone a digitalised sentence or string of sentences to emulate ...
The Young Girl and the Elephant
Good friends are hard to come by these days and as I say in previous blog posts it's important to surround yourself with people who care about you but also people you care about. There are a lot of people in my life who I'm thankful for and I just want to say that I appreciate you guys. However I'm going to dedicate this post to someone who has literally been my soul ...
Top 12 Doctor Who Episodes
For those of you who don't know, Doctor Who is one of my favourite shows of all time and it single handedly got me into writing. So because I literally have nothing to bang on about today I thought I'd list my top 12 episodes of the revived series to celebrate the Doctor making it to his 12th regeneration or 14th or 13th or whatever it is. I've counted 2 parters as one episode ...
Music plays a big part in most of our lives today. Whether you're a hip-pop fan or prefer the sound of a string quartet music evokes all these different emotions within us which I think is why music is so important. So I was just recently thinking what my favourite song is and I can't answer that question because it changes so much! I'll often go through a phase where I'm playing ...
There are a lot of phrases that have now lost all meaning because of how often people use them. Obviously there are the odd people that actually mean it when they say it but the majority of you lot are hard cold liars. 1) I love you - Probably the most obvious. Do I really need to say more. Can often be confused with "I'm in love with you". But "love" is a big word and ...
