This was one of the best and worst years in recent-ish history. In March you have Claudette Colvin who refused to give her seat up to a white man on the bus. She was dragged from the bus, handcuffed, attacked and taken to the local police station. A good day for African-American civil rights in the USA. Probably a bad day for Ms Colvin.

In April, Churchill resigned from his position as PM due to ill health (as far as I remember) and never returned to politics.

In an attempt to put offset the recent myriad of crying and pouting in the blogosphere. It is new years. I will get drunk and maybe high. Oh and I'll be damned if I don't enjoy it.

That is all.

Seasons greetings!

So Boxing Day draws to a close and with it the end of the Christmas celebrations in the Wallace household. Whilst the cheese and cracker selection will no doubt last for a few more days (along with copious amounts of alcohol and cold meats), festivities are drawing to a close.

Christmas Day was somewhat quieter than normal, I couldn't sleep at all, partly down to it being Christmas Eve, partly because I was uncomfortable and partly because my cat...

Whag'warn!

Just a little shout out and some shameless self-promotion here. Recently, a friend and I set up 'Tall and Taller Studios' to make a web-comic series. Our first series is 'Port Rice Avenue', set on a street in fictitious New York, the story follows two protagonists as they got about their lives. It's sort of a comedy really, or it tries to be, it's pretty random as well. If you have a Smackjeeves account, giving our comic a fav would be much appreciated.

Hey folks,

So, on Friday I went back to Church to attend a yearly service that my school/sixth form runs with our Church in London. First, attendance is considered compulsory, regardless of religion or ideology. Before I was agnostic this didn't bother me of course, I was of the opinion that it was important for everyone to go for so many stupid reasons. This year I still wanted to go because it will be the last time I ever attend the school sermon, it's something we've been doing...

Hello everyone,

Some of you may remember in my last blog I posted about a number of developments occurring in my life. If I remember correctly, one of those things was my entrance into university. I sent off my applications two weeks ago and have heard back from three universities, Leicester, Chester and Kent.

So far, three conditional offers, meaning they will let me in on the premise that I get the grades they ask for this academic year in my May exams, AAB, BBC and...

And now to play us in, the sweet twang of Bo Diddley's guitar.


Hello folks,

So as the title may or may not suggest to you, there have been a few (academic/ life choice) developments over the past few weeks which I supposed were worth explaining.

Firstly, I've submitted my UCAS application form. For those...

Earlier this year, on Saturday 28th January - I believe whilst having dinner at a restaurant - I renounced my unswerving faith in God and with it my ties to Catholicism and Christianity. It has been over eight months since that day and I have decided to finally reflect upon the topic in a blog here. I'm not sure as to whether this will be particularly interesting to anyone here, however I am finding it - for want of a better word - therapeutic, to provide a written manifestation of my feelings on...

This is basically just me bragging about going to MudoCon. I now have photographic evidence of being in the same vicinity as MM, Crashpunk, Lorne Lanning and of course, Wil. Not to mention Tda, Glitch and Gilray who answered one of my questions. =D

It was so amazing to see the franchise in such good hands. Also...merchandise. I now have Lanning's autograph and unseen Oddworld movie concept art. Whooo!

It was amazing, MudoCon was so much more exciting for me than Eurogamer....
