It's a new dawn - It's a new day - It's a new life for me.. and I'm feeling good!

ok.... so, after being a long time dead, i have finally decided to rehash this blog; which was originally intended to act as a sort of chronicle of my field recording and art residency experiences, but  ended up dying pretty quickly; as i came to the conclusion that it would be better to just exhibit the results of my efforts on my website  (a permanent exhibition setting), rather than some fleeting blog type thing.

this new attempt however, will be more about trying to keep an online journal of the creative experiences i encounter in my day to day life - a place where i can review and write about things like  music, theatre, books, performances, films, food etc etc. but also just write about non direct instances that i think are noteworthy and relevant to my creative outlook. 

SO WHY BLOG ANYWAY? well to put it simply, i really suck at writing and very much want to improve these skills. i never learnt the basic building blocks of grammar and sentence structuring before (i actually only learn’t about semicolons, illegal split commas and fuzed sentences in the last few days), plus i also find it quite difficult to arrange my thoughts / words coherently; particularly in the form of a formal essay. however, i am passionate about studying and am planning in the near future to to some post-grad studies; so whilst i find that i am a good reader and alright thinker, i feel that my writing suffers on so many levels, and is a significant enough factor to prevent me from perusing any kind of academic path. so through keeping an active blog i hope to flex my (writing skills) muscle and become a better writer who can effortlessly express and crystallise his innermost deepest thoughts through words.

lastly, as a sort of a disclaimer. i would like to say to anybody that reads this blog; please do not expect anything good, interesting, or coherent to come out any of these posts. i really don’t want to be trapped in a world of political correctness nor be restricted by a desire to be culturally / socially savvy, clever and interesting. moreover, i just don’t think i can offer anyone anything worthwhile, as these posts will primarily be  just written renditions of my personal (unresolved) thoughts. of course i realise that i could just keep a PRIVATE written journal instead and not indulge myself by entering into the public realm; BUT i feel that revealing my thoughts and writing in this way will make me more self conscious about my work; which should force / encourage me to do a better job.

if anyone picks up on any mistakes in the writing, or could offer a way to arrange these words better, then please don’t hesitate to contact me.
