Reading to Wallingford



I had a rough night and had a few hours sleep and we have talked about this walk for around 12 days, well since the 12th of July. I didn't want to let my rambler friends down as it is not the same without the 3 of us.

The day we walked was 26th of July, funnily enough one of my musican friends, messaged me personally the day before, asking me to meet up with him at the 3Bs. I was really hoping to get home early for a few hours rest to see him play and I kept thinking, "I wonder if I could make it". Unfortuntily I didn't make it, no thanks to rough sleep and the really beating tough sun weather we had :( .... I'd be sure to make his next one in Reading for sure. Still beating my head about it on and off as he messaged me personally!! The day before the walk ... hmm I did send him a picture through my phone half way on the trip :/

Makes me wonder if its worth really sharing calendars, such as Google? Think I'd be willing to get his website RSS feed friendly for his Live concert dates. Then slap a blimming widget somewhere to read it the thing.

Anyway.... very worth while trip of 15 miles(roughly) maybe, more due to our slight detours lol. The Google map screenshot is rough and not really accurate but it just gives you a rough idea :P Better Quality Pics here.

Heath Ledger : Joker and the Poncy Press.

I am not normally a person to talk about celebrities but this really caught me.

A friend treated me to seeing this film, I helped pay for the snacks. I thought, he did damn good job of the Joker. The film's requirement was to be more realistic and he done it flawlessly. I am wondering if Heath actually saw himself on and off during the making. After seeing it and reading more news about him, I felt I needed to share my thoughts on this also.

I feel this role was probably very deep. Knowing that he stayed in a hotel for a month, there was times couldn't sleep for 2 hours a day, his brain couldn't stop thinking to rest. I was shocked to hearing that.

It was not the film that killed or some murder, or that he kill himself. It was down to really personal stuff. Apparently his last relationship has just broken up and he ended up hiding himself amongst work. By the evidence seen on E! story, they found 6 perscribed pills, unfortuntly they were a leathal combination of drugs. He didn't know they were a lethal combination, he's no real doctor who knows about this. But if you do all the proper research you will see.

What's with Christian Bale being a nasty man? Apparently both Heath are Christian was getting to be really good friends. As stated at Christians imdb profile and at this tribute site for Heath.

I had to be really sure of this, so I done a lot of investigating heh. He really made his final completed film performance legendary, However it is not totally his last ever apparence. There was a new film that he started working on the film and is in dilemma because of his unfortunite events, they have managed to get 3 main stream actors to try and play the rest of his parts. The whole crew are struggling to finish off the film would you believe (Emotionally).

I don't think I can see another film with a different Joker as good as him. After finding out about him more, I am kind of fan him of him and really respect how he built up his life. He is a true creative inspiration.

The money system is not perfect either :( You pay people soo much money, people will want to know why they are paid soo much or just want to get nosy. What is also interesting is everyone still goes to the footballs even though the ticket prices are high, stop going to them and the tickets will fall. That is all I am going to say. My dad still wonders why a footballer get's paid soo much more money when a firemen saves lives and they get paid far less... It all boils down to GREED. I must admit I have been bought my fair share of festival tickets, yet the prices just keep going up each time. I swear it's something to do with inflation in someway. Mind you I've known to be wrong on such delicate matters.

RIP Heath. And I hope Christian get his privacy also.

Uplifting Music

Aw music, saw this band on a talk show and couldn't help but say, 'WOW'. They play in sync with each other on 5 pianos.

The 5 Browns

I like to listen to music whilst I work, it helps carm the frustrations I bump into along the way. Certain music can change my working styles and speed so I make sure that they are all uplifting. Avoid the sad feeling ones and the too over powerful songs that could be too fast, furious and loud.

Cvil and Desperate Times

The world is not all civil. The choices we make we tried to predict it be for the best, in saddly most cases can be bad. When major situations end up being a pickle of a mess because of wrong choices. You seek to put back right asap to the best of your abilities.

But be careful to think things through before doing something risky. Think of the current situation you are in. Is the choice going to damaged you further? Is it going to destory yourself? Don't go over board.

Think least risk order atleast. Don't forget people don't just say, "Take care of yourself" for no reason. Take care of yourself and then others.

Dr Horrible


One of my fav writers has done something bald. Joss Whedon has made an interesting sing along sketch. Apparently during the WGA strike, he started writing a three part musical episodes for the Internet.

Dr Horrible's Sing-along Blog

He is releasing each one online and is also available on iTunes. There is also a fan site made for the show here that goes deeper into the making.
