Girls, Girls, Girls

I finally get it...

I started my romantic life at 14, it's the first time I seriously started to see girls in an interesting and curious way. Growing up beforehand, I had a more infantile image of what girls were.

When I was in primary school I had a few girls that used to get on my nerves by copying me / poking and prodding me, I did not understand at the time that it was to seek my attention.

Speaking to my Mum, she taught me that throughout my life, girls are gonna do things that confuse, hurt, annoy, encourage, scare, inspire and manipulate me. I had not a scooby doo what any of that meant at the time, at least on a useful level. The context was solid, but my understanding was skewed.
I just thought to myself "this girl is causing me issues" or a less mature version of that quote... I can't remember exactly how I used to talk!

How did I work out how to swing this in my favour? I spent time listening to girls, talking to them and trying to connect with their "kind". I asked them why they are the way they are and in turn what their motivations and reasons were. Up until about 21, I still had little to no clue, I only understood the overview of how to draw them.

Even then, once I learned how to draw them through trial and error, I was still missing the fundamentals. I didn't know how to keep their interest, or tend to their needs, I had a very selfish and chauvinistic point of view. Men are better than women, blah blah blah and my happiness equated to that of more importance than that of my girlfriends (at the time).

Your girlfriend will cheat on you / leave you / lose respect for you: if you don't stand up for anything, let alone her. Being a good boyfriend is about trusting the intelligence of your partner and knowing that you chose to be with her; because you knew she could take on at least the basic elements of social situations. Being supportive does not mean being controlling or jealous.

Bear this in mind and your days will be long!
Part two coming next week.

New Blog Started - MUSIC MASH

Hey readers!

I thought I would let you all in on a secret of mine...

i have started a blog with the main intent of discussing music in it's various forms and it also allows my readers a bit of insight in to my thoughts and experiences. Just flick through my blog pages and all will become clear!

In the meantime I will be adding some youtube and main website updates to keep the juices flowing,
as I write this, thunder and lighting, plus a massive torrential downpour has occurred, fun times indeed.

Let's see how this all plays out.

Thanks again... I'm out!

Delusions Of Grandeur

It's a been a while...

I would like to take this time to personally thank everyone that has been reading my blog posts up to now. I have been doing it for a little time now and have really gotten a knack and a developed love for it. I would appreciate any honest feedback and comments though, don't be shy with saying how you feel, I designed this blog, not only to tell you of my life experiences but also to encourage others to do the same and believe in their innermost thoughts.

However, it certainly has been a while, coming up to a month now.
So much has happened in the space of a month, it would be almost impossible to know where to begin talking about it.

One thing is for certain, I have learned so much, one thing being whoever said "opposites attract" had it 50 percent correct. Another being, power is a dangerous thing in the wrong hands.

I will take this time to talk about the second point firstly (if that makes sense to you like it did in my head!).

Here is an example of something significant which took place in my life and it was the start of massive events to come. I will be vague as I don't wish to vilify anyone.

I used to work for a company a while ago where I was employed as a sales representative and I was told that my base customers were a commodity, not to be cared about and respected and it was not important that I engage with them for any longer than what the company deemed necessary as they were a commodity.

Now I am a respectful, brutally honest and considerate person (if  do say so myself), so naturally I disagreed with this approach. I believe that treating others how you wish to be treated is the fundamental strategy to building an empire that others will recommend for years to come. It is something you learned as a child and should carry on with you in to your retirement years. I realise that sometimes when a person feels threatened and misunderstood they act out upon their insecurities. There is no way on Earth that I am perfect but I do have morals which I uphold daily.

If you move from company to company, you soon start to see that maybe you need to do more than working underneath someone you disagree with, this is why I decided I needed to consider a life of self employment and see how it worked for me, because my old boss motivated me to stop feeling sorry for myself and work hard for what I believe in (unintentionally mind you).

I see that my old boss lead their team in a dictator fashion and their workers were very intimidated by this approach. You know the funny thing. People like that live very miserable lives despite the wealth they may possess. So do not be fooled by what you see of them on the surface.

I use my powers of persuasion to allow people to bring out the best in themselves and encourage others that there is more to life beyond what we are made to believe is important to us. Family, health, knowledge, love and understanding is more powerful than any amount of money in the world. Try to see money as a means to an end and not the end objective itself.

Keep reading and you may be further enlightened (hopefully).

New Beginnings

Palms sweaty... Mom's spaghetti...

Ready to drop bombs are we?
I should hope you mean in the figurative sense.

Now, it's plain to see that we all get the goosebumps, jitters, nerves and butterflies when something new begins.

Think back to your first kiss, first relationship, the first time you rode your push bike and you get a wide eyed look on your face. (check the mirror now, you'll see what I mean).

It's after having gone through with it that we feel that sense of accomplishment.

I think I may have been 4 or 5 years old when I jumped on my old little bike. Blue with silver plastic and metal stabilisers!
At first it was tough. I wanted to give up.
I'd had enough before I even truly tried.

My Mum tried to encourage me, but I was having none of it!

It's difficult at that age to look past mental barriers; you see an issue and you refuse to believe there is a resolution.

Painful times. How do you develop the inner strength and confidence to pick yourself up again?

One of the reasons that parents exist...

Is to help us  build character and to help us grow in to the people that we are today.
Do you think that most of us would be fighters if we chose to quit and walk away, even as far as to accept a loss as the way things go?
Not I.

I was always taught that starting something new is always tricky, your mind has to adapt to a new method and way of acting. Once you attempt it, it becomes far easier to perform each time.
I know teachers sounded like broken records back in school, but they spoke the truth!

Sticking with the task at hand got me the results I needed...

Surprisingly enough, I was able to master the bike riding hullabaloo and was able to eventually ride without stabilisers, (not devoid of a few grazed knees along the way!). My Mum told me to keep on doing it despite how I felt and I pushed past my mental block, both myself and her, told me that I could do it if I kept trying and to do this day, I follow that mantra.

Let me know your thoughts on the matter...

The Website Is Up & Running

I finally did it, a work in progress is released...

I've been talking about doing this for some time, but talking to designers and having gone through a bad experience a little while back; I decided on making a website myself temporarily.

I plan to make everything central for fans and newcomers, to keep in touch with yours truly personally and to be able to offer content on a regular basis.

Please visit my website,
http://keironnelson.wix.com/dbledgeproductions

Spread the word, tell a friend to tell a friend and see how the site evolves over time.
There will be more to come and I will keep it entertaining and informative at the same time.

Thanks guys and enjoy!

Back To The Gym

Yes, you twisted my arm long enough...

I'll admit it!

I had a moment of laziness.

I fell off.

I lost sight of the goal.

I might have even scored an own goal.

Peak times... same as if we're going to drive through traffic in rush hour.

Now my saving grace is...

I went back to the gym.

Why did I feel it necessary to explain this when I can see that the title may have been clear enough?

Maybe the title just wasn't clear enough!

All crappy jokes aside... I plan to stay on point and go back 5 times a week as I used to. We'll see.

The 2013 Theory Of Relativity

Sometimes you sit there and think to yourself... WHY?

We ask ourselves things like; "Why are we taught to be good to others despite the world trying it's utmost to be against us?".
"Why keep an open mind if there are so many individuals who form the conglomerate of one track thinking?".
"Why step outside the boundaries of our own limitations when we are told to fall in line with everyone else?".
"Why is my life so hard when there are people who live far better off than I do?".

Some of us just go through life plodding along and accepting those things. We live a pre-ordained existence, because it's what is expected of us. I, for one, am a person who does not believe a word like "fate", should ever have been created. Case in point: I discovered a passion for creative writing amidst the irony that I am not the biggest fan of reading!

How does that make any ounce of sense? Why rely on a medium to which I seem to face a disconnect with?

You'll notice this particular entry contains many questions... Simply because after millions of years of life on Earth, we still seek answers to the ambiguity or the unknown, if you will.

I will provide a few answers

I'm a human being, (if you hadn't already guessed) so naturally I will talk about myself first...
I write: because I like to offer a different perspective to the norm, as a usual introvert it allows people to see the innermost workings of my psyche. I am most certainly a leader and not a follower, so this is why it is hard for me to connect to writings before me, unless I feel it is something worth knowing.

So look at it also as; as the human race...

We are ignorant to some extent as the universe is a vast, expanse. There is so much to discover and even more which will never be discovered (in this generation at least)!

On that note, please take care to...

Look at the structure of a pyramid / equilateral triangle.
You'll see that there is a pinnacle and a large base. This is a metaphor; which shows us that the highest point of a tower must have a stable foundation in order to stay standing. On face value, it would appear that the logic behind a business operating on a pyramid ethos would be fool proof... Although, there are so many factors which can disallow it from being a perfect plan:

-You need a charismatic, inspirational, knowledgeable and self motivating leader.
-Each person in the pyramid has to know where they stand and the importance of their role.
-Those at any position lower than top should never be fully aware of the ultimate goal or the practice to reach it.
-If your goal differs to your associates, then a power struggle may occur leading to insubordinate behaviour taking place.
-And a whole host of more things...

Triangles are a prominent symbol in society, as they represent; perfection, status, order and more.
We all know that perfection is myth, but relativity is the thing which binds our fractured perceptions and gives us belief. We know that if someone has been successful before us and we believe to have seen evidence of this, we are more likely to follow their lead, as we feel it will get us to the same point if not better than the predecessor. There are people who follow as it is comfortable and what they know, then there are people who step out of the constraints set before them and create paths and opportunities for themselves and others.

If you are someone who believes that people buy results and not in fact other people, you may be experiencing a disconnect. We buy in to what we relate to. So our humanity is the first thing to betray us.

Think about that!

Backbiting

I'm not being funny but...


Ah, the classic phrase. The one we all turn to when we're more than likely about to say something somewhat grossly offensive, either to the subject.. Or behind the subject's back.

What are the chances that we're actually being truly "funny" just after we say the phrase? My guess is around 50/50 either way.

Yet the chance to offend could be deemed higher. Depending on whether the subject in question is present.

For example; Angela has been saving up her student loan for some time and just got her hair washed, cut, straightened and coloured (similar to the Skittles rainbow), at a salon of high regard. She meets up with Claire who tells her "Wow you look like the attractive sister of Lady Gaga".
Angela walks away feeling like a million dollars, due to trusting in her friend's opinion.

What Angela is unaware of; all of her friends now thinking she resembles a high society clown. Bearing in mind, a friend is meant to be honest with you, not just tell you what you want to hear... Right?

There's a thin line between love and hate and it makes you question whether a person's integrity is really at your benefit or to your ultimate misfortune.

Sometimes, a friend can be the most dangerous company; moreso than an enemy, as most enemies make it blatantly obvious that they can't stand you.

Stay safe people...

4OD And Its Choice Of Programming

When tv is showing a steady decline...
One program comes out of nowhere and catches everyone by surprise.

In a recent post, I was talking about reality tv greats like MIC and Towie and I was starting to believe that was all we'd be stuck with. Yet, Ashley Walters decides that he will show the UK and inadvertently, the world, that he is capable of a lot more than just writing a 16 on 21 seconds or featuring as the comic relief crack head on Anuvahood.

Ashley Walters is a dangerous actor.
 Why?

Why would I come out with such a "bold" statement?

Simple... He has proven himself to be a talented and gifted person of multi-facets. People like these are few and far between, as not only do they entertain us, they keep us asking for more of what they do. They push people to go to acting school and grow up to be as successful or more-so than themselves. They former child actors (like myself) remember the kind of benefits they would reap in the entertainment industry.
 The one characteristic that shines outright in his persona is his charisma and I don't need to tell anyone with  half a brain cell how important that trait is.

Top Boy is some of his most notable work.
You'll probably see that the title of this entry is about 4OD, but Top Boy is a show with an impact.
Being from Hackney myself, the show speaks to me and reminds me of the kind of life I was growing up around, the types of people and locations are all real and vivid in their own pseudo-surreal way.

I won't go too much in to Top Boy, as shows like Youngers, the documentary One Mile Away and much more all do similarly in their on way. Youngers also speaks to me as it brings me back to the days of being a young impressionable, upcoming musician and getting slandered (to this day) and constantly badgered to fall of track. My love for music kept me going. I strongly enjoy this show and it's truly a hit for E4.
A previous musical mentor of mine (S.K.I.T.Z. Beats) was responsible for producing for the show, he made some superior instrumentals and I have to give credit where it's due.

I'm gonna go outside of my realm and say that this overall type of programming is what millions of people have been waiting for. I don't think many would disagree and I will certainly be revisiting this topic.

UPDATE:I hadn't realisred this post was still a draft all this time, well better late than never I say. Enjoy regardless and remember to share with your people dem!

2 For The Price Of 1

If you have an addictive nature...

Then you're bound to be addicted to things of no real value.
Take me for example... Started a blog a f.ew months back. Was on it properly, had a break for a few months, then came back with a bang again recently, after the withdrawal symptoms hit me.

Yeah the shakes came about, the sleepless nights and all sorts; when you think about it though, what is it that makes social addiction that in which the name suggests?

Second bold paragraph prefix used as you can see...
Social addiction and social media addiction.
At this point I will refer to them as SA and SMA.

Do I know whether these are real and documented under another name? No.
Is this vital? Necessary? Or just a thinly veiled distraction to provide this meta joke? Maybe!

Please try to see that this is purely opinion based and is by no means solid fact, but I will admit to being apart of the mix in some cases, now; on with the analysis.

SA - We've all watched shows like Made In Chelsea and TOWIE, I'm socially addicted to shows like these. You know why? It's because they give me so many reasons to critique them. When you watch this kind of tv, the brain releases chemicals which work to subdue all rational thought... When I watch these shows, the chemicals in my brain take temporary vacations. I go in as a blank canvas, telling myself to be; and remain neutral mostly. It's difficult, extremely.... difficult! Why do I feel the need to critique MIC and TOWIE though?

I watch them and keep thinking... poorly acted, poorly scripted, repeated topics (relationships etc), lack of charisma in main characters. I watched 4OD the other day and MIC was playing; wherein these things kept on reeling from my mouth, the same critiques I try to stop myself from mentioning. The shows become addictive because they make us think; "How the hell can someone behave like this? How do they bring the ratings in? Why do people meme these people? Why can't I stop watching this?........"

This is when you read back a sentence and you ask yourself repeatedly... "Why can't I stop watching this?........" The addiction comes from the surreal atmosphere and the way the wooden characters drift ashore like a dead beached whale... or some driftwood, whatever works! All in all, it's entertaining because it misses the things which conventional tv provides, you don't get this level of entertainment from shows like Luther, or Dexter or even Budgie The Little Helicoper. (Going through the time warp at this point).


SMA is connected to SA; in that SMA is what I am going through now, the first paragraph prefix gives it away. SMA is the unjustified need to rely on social media to get through the day.
Ever wake up flick your phone awake and without thought load up the Facebook app and write that you've "just woken up" or "need more sleep", as if to say anyone gives a crap and had no idea that this is what you were experiencing, similar, if not the same as they are?

SMA is almost like drug dependance, except it does a bit less damage to you in a physical sense but it does damage your real social life to some degree, unless you aware of it most times.
Ever go to a bar which you've planned for weeks, (via FB of course) only to be tapping away at your phone all night when you're at the bar; saying how you wish you were at home or are "having fun with the mates at blah blah blah bar"? You, my friend are a victim of SMA.

Don't cry and don't be shy, just remember to fight the urge of both SA and SMA and your days will be long.

Considering Everything Beforehand

What Is Jealousy?

Over the past week, I've had constant thinking going on.
When they say... "I wish you all the best". That is seldom what a person intends to suggest.
,
We've all heard the songs. We've all seen the memes and tropes flood on the internet.
I think one of the biggest contributors to the popularization of the word hate is Kanye West.

I'm not his biggest fan, but his branding is top notch. The way he uses the "they're gonna hate me so much that they love me" approach. Now, he is the exception and not the rule, by all means.
He has acquired the right to be as braggadocios as he is, due to his major musical accomplishments.
If you're not a fan, you don't have to listen to; or be absorbed in to his ramblings or egocentric statements.
His claims are relatively harmless and although he may subliminally talk down to those who listen to his music by constantly shoving his love of money and gained wealth down the throat of thirsty fans; there is still a level of restraint, there is no direct pain caused by the things he puts on wax.

Try to look at it from a critical aspect now... become the crazed fan / pundit throwing unnecessary abuse at him. Attack him for belittling you. Giving you a constant reminder of the 9 to 5 that you work in, always leaving you short on that vital bill at the end of every month. When you've finished your tirade, reflect and remember that he is an entertainer, he is a performer by trade, his job is to incite emotion and have you pay him for it. Does he deserve anything more than criticism?

What about when it all gets too much for you... the crazed fan... and you start to resent your social circle as they all can afford the luxury style, the new car every year, walk in wardrobe and generally flashy lifestyle. But you're left sitting at home trying to rub two pieces of bread together with a garnish of gone off butter?

We as a society need to think outside of the box a bit more. Try to seek another's perspective before acting so harshly towards a person we perceive as an enemy just because their walk of life appears more attractive in comparison to our own. Sometimes, all that glitters is not gold.

More entries shortly.

I Think We May Have Missed One Another

I do really enjoy a nice old blog....

Yeah I confess, I was a bit of a blog addict. But I seem to come off of my addiction as of late.

Looking at the date of my last entry and it seems that I've been on a bit of a one sided, "only call you when I need that late night hook up" kind of relationship with my blog.

That is truly terrible!

Truly...

So then, clearly we need to make up right? Sort out our differences, put our past behind us and keep fighting the good fight... Right?

Yeah, I'd say say so, it's that time again, gotta swallow my pride and get back with my partner.
She called and I had to answer so here we go again with our tempestuous ways! lol

To anyone that can see through the metaphors, happy reading!

Competitive Spirit

By nature I am a person who likes to compete - For the right reasons...

To this point I have depicted myself as a somewhat level headed, driven individual who likes to get the job done.
I would like to think so at least...

Funny thing actually. My cousin (we haven't spoken in a short while, normal thing with us) says to me we should compete in power lifting, via our weight class ( 100kg -110kg ) I think that's correct.

Reason why is... I was in the gym the other day and was benching 120kg and had a crowd in amazement at this. I don't want to come across as arrogant, but I have seen people lift loads more and I am determined to go further. I am driven to do loads when it comes to strength and fitness.

From Feb when I began taking the weight loss seriously I have worked from 50kg benching up to 120kg benching.
So in about 2 months I've  gone up 70kgs and lost 20kgs in weight in the process.

Fun times.

My new goal is to reach 250kg benching in about 6 months to 1 year. I don't wanna snap my body up.

So from here on in, I am pushing it to the limit.

Ignorance

It's been a short minute since I last posted...

Sometimes when you go through a hard patch.
Look at the people and scenarios you place yourself within / surround yourself with.

Ignorance certainly is not bliss when you behave as ignorance does.
So rather than live in a perpetual cycle, be the bigger person, behave appropriately and calculate to handle the situation when you're calm. The amount of fights I have gotten in to that could have been avoided if I used a different approach.

I now always employ diplomacy over violence, even when my blood curdles, as violence never truly solves disputes. So pull yourself out of the rut, start afresh and find that others will start to treat you differently for doing so.



I think sometimes you come to the realisation that it is impossible to be genuinely positive all the time, but when your chips are down, at very least, remember to be positive, that will steer you in the right direction momentarily.

Inspiration

It seems to be one of those weeks...

Now this might initially sound like a complaint, but I'll be perfectly candid...

This has been one of the most enjoyable weeks I have came across this year. No complaints whatsoever.

I was inspired by talented singers to making more emotional / soulful music.

I came up with a song which is gonna have people feeling it so much they'll be convulsing on the dancefloor. I won't go too much in to it, but it is a house / dance track with a crazy catchy and meaningful hook. The verses are hard as hell aswel. They feature me and her going back and forth on a perspective of a topic that most people can relate to, so you won't just jam to the beat, you will be feeling the buzz the lyrics will send down your spine.

Secondly, my interpersonal skills are at a new height, I think people are really connecting to me in a different way these days, I have always had this weird thing where random people would approach me on the road for advice, seems to be happening moreso nowadays as I am smiling every minute of the day LMAO.

I'm well and truly as gassed as a torture chamber from a Nazi concentration camp.

We will see where things go from here.

Today Was A Good Day

Or at least yesterday was.

My cousin and I were banging it out at the gym on Sunday just to push our limits further.
Last dead-lift I did (Monday last week) , I capped at 100kg. This may be due to fatigue and I had worked out a heck of a lot beforehand that day.

Yesterday on the other hand, I was dead-lifting 170kg. So based on the fact that my lower back needs work I should be banging 200kg in about a month or so.

Speaking of banging... Now this may sound slightly vulgar (I've never been afraid to speak my mind),but doing dead lifts and squats actually powers you up all over. I soon discovered my overall strength had increased and I was able to do more outside of the gym. I always have a spring in my step these days.
If I still have energy in me, I will do something that requires more exertion, for example, re arranging my room just for the sake of being able to get my back muscles working.

As the house is being decorated, the rooms had to be stripped and emptied and to test my practical strength (day to day strength) I moved and lifted loads of stuff. I was proud of my findings. :-)

One of my biggest findings is, even though you look a lot bigger weight training and working the muscles, this is where the muscle break down occurs, important... However for growth and stimulation, you need to give your body adequate rest and nutrition. Your diet and sleep assists you majorly if you plotting to see great gains. 50% diet, 40% workout and 10% mindset is the plan I live by.

New Positions Reached

Today has truly been a good day.

I reached 150 push ups (10 sets of 10, 3 sets of 15 and 1 set of 5, alternating types of push ups).
And 50 crunches (5 sets of 10).
But yesterday, that is another story, which unfolds below.....

After a horrific Friday, there was incident after incident, starting from late morning way until midnight.

I won't go in to the morning section but I'll go from the evening. That's where it really kicked off.

I went to my friend's house, you know, normal hang out circumstances, everyone chills out, catches up on recent events and has food.
We all play Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3, having a good time, no issues there.
Then we switch up the temperature and head on to COD Black Ops 2. I had lost miserably but no surprise as I haven't played it in ages, I play Borderlands 2 now, but, again, it went smoothly.

However. When it came to about 10:30pm, I went to my car after everyone left, to find that it had been missing from the place I parked it in. As the average human being, you imagine my heart was playing games and I felt like fainting. I immediately assumed my car had been stolen.

Luckily, a local resident had asked me if I was looking for my car, I replied yes, she kindly had told me that earlier on in the day, people had crowded around my car, as the towing company had ticketed it and taken it away. They left no notice near by to suggest they had done that. I was miffed, as I knew that this would mean I'd have to pay out for a"much needed" fine.

Not being funny but I pay other utilities, for example, house payments etc.

The fee was £265, which I will be disputing, as there was no common sense behind the inappropriateness of the cost.
Later, towards midnight, I didn't think it could get worse after I had reclaimed the car. I had smashed in to the curb on the way home. I thought my car was shattered. No it hadn't been thankfully.

Let's see how this all pans out.

The Third Day

So I also work out in the gym...

One day I was faced with a strange predicament.

I truly hit physical rock bottom, my Mum told me I was fat. So I looked in the mirror... and by jove was she right!

What I saw in the mirror was not the same person I had known to care about, I had more handles than a door knob... There was nothing to love about them whatsoever.

I said to myself... What the hell can I do to rectify this?

So immediately started Googling gyms and trying my hardest to find the best price and facility packages available, I was coming across averages of £40-£100 per month and I was not best pleased.

Thankfully I remembered a gym I had came across about a year ago and I decided to give them a go.
They had been offering a £6 a week deal for the first 75 applications. I would be a fool to pass up that opportunity!

I went down there and the customer service was top notch, it was newly refurbished and had updated and new facilities, free classes and even a nutrition cafe. I knew I had found my new home.

Initially I was a bit self conscious working out without a hoodie on, but as I saw the results start to work over the weeks, I gradually was able to up my reps and weights and walk around with a vest on.

I was shocked when once I had altered my diet, cut out the fast food, I was saving in excess of £150 per month and I was able to eat healthy meals and feel more energetic simultaneously. You get a buzz from losing a stone and a half of fat in 2 and a half weeks (circa 19 stones and 5lbs to about 18 stones and 12lbs), the compliments you get and the self confidence it builds is second to none. My strength and stamina is up and I can sleep like a log most nights. When I get a sugar craving, I just snack on some fresh fruit. Good times indeed.

I said to myself... I won't be going back to the old me any time soon and I intend to stick to that.

 

The State Of Current Musical Affairs

Currently listening to Pole by Waka Flocka, The late, great Slim Dunkin and YG Hootie.

I think it's a really interesting product from a rap group (Brick Squad Monopoly) with large differences in their overall performance styles.
Produced by Purps, someone I regard quite well in music. Although I feel his musical type is unique enough to the point it's difficult to tell a tune was made by him. Unless of course you hear his tag... "Purps on the beat!", I believe is the correct phrase.

An observation I've made is, a lot of musicians nowadays have fallen in to archetypes due to fear of not fitting in / not selling / not being relevant. Now while I don't necessarily agree with this practice, I do appreciate that they may have families to feed, friends who may require support, or just want a faster advance in the world. No one (and I mean strictly no one) except for the artist knows the artist own true motivation.

There was a time when I was in two minds about music, I'd say as recently as maybe 9 months ago, when I considered "jeopardizing" my core attributes for that of a more commercial sound.
This thought soon passed when I realised my motivation is my Mum, my close family and my lifelong friends.
So really all that matters is I have their support and that I am always doing better in my musical and business practices.

At the end of it all... Do what you trust in and not what others expect you to do!

The Start Of Thought Share

So this is where it all begins,

I will introduce myself and the purpose of my blog.

I've been thinking... All I seem to do is spill out my thoughts on a regular basis using services like Facebook, so why not be creative with it?

I'm a 23 year old man, I operate under the stage name DBL Edge, but am comfortable with people using my real name Keiron.

I work as a multi faceter - Musician, Actor, Property Consultant and IT Consultant. So my time is used efficiently as much as possible.

I'm one of the hard working, deep thinking yet supportive kinds of people and I'm open minded to new things normally.

I started this blog to introduce the world to my being!

I hope the readers like what I have to say as I will be writing very often on this service.

Feel free to interact. I'm open to discussion.

Right now, I will get back to watching a Resident Evil Remake Speedrun, Fun times!
