Day 178 - It's all coming together | Featured Beard: Michael Fassbender

So last night was a late one. Me and Jonny we're up until the small hours coming up with more ideas for our film. We've started writing things down and coming up with a proper screenplay. Hopefully we can have it finished in a few months.

Just seen a video that's going viral about a young boy who battled cancer and go to meet his hero, Daniel Bryan. It's a lovely video and I have a lot of respect for the superstars of WWE. When watching I've noticed they do a lot for charity. Unfortunately the little fella passed a way recently, but he certainly looked extremely happy when he was in the ring with his hero!

---------------------------------BEARD TIME------------------------

So I'm going to introduce to you the lead role in my film. He needs to beard to play to role, and he might need to learn norwgian. Mr. Michael Fassbender


For a ginger beard he looks damn fine. For the role I want him to have a full on beard like he's not shaved in months. From you picture you can probably see it's pretty light compared to the other beards I've featured. But still a mighty beard.

Day 177 - I really dislike wasps.

I love summer and the good weather and everything but wasps are not cool. I was walking home and one flew right at me, I thought nothing of it until I got in the house and it was in my hood! So I started freaking out like a mad man and threw my jacket off. Now I can't find it anywhere, but I can hear it every so often. Feel like Walter White trying to find that fly. Without the all the meth, and it's a wasp not a fly.

Bit of a late one today, it had to be. Been a really busy day at work, got some designs printed up for our campaigne today and they are looking really good. Got some more to finish off tomorrow and then it'll be all good.

I was going to do a beard today but I still can't think of a theme. Think I'll just do a one off tomorrow and then see how it goes from there. Got a good one tomorrow, a personal favourite. Also the lead role in my film I'm starting to write. I actually started writing a little screenplay to it, I did a bit of research before hand and then cracked on. It is pretty hard to write a screenplay for, mainly because it's not got much dialogue and it's has some seriously detailed shots. But hopefully it will start coming together and I can show a few people. I want to properly copyright it before post it online because, I've not seen any films like it and the story is pretty different. Took a bit of influence from one of my favourite directors though Mr. Tarantino. I might actually crack on with it now, now I have the house to myself. Watch this space.

Seen as though I've started doing this I thought I'd best starting up my game when it comes to films. I remember seeing a list of the 250 top films by imdb. So I think I'm going to try and make my way through that.

But first I need to find this god damn wasp!

Day 176 - Money

Spent too much money this weekend, but it was pretty much all needed. A night out on Friday, two hangover takeaways, then paying bills and sorting out coah tickets for Glastonbury has hit me really hard. But the last part had to be done. Man money sucks. Imagine a world without time and money, I'm sure we'd all be much happier.

I've just seen a video with a poem being read to me about how technology is making us lonely and enslaving us, and of course everyone jumps on it and starts going crazy. Personally for me, I feel we wouldn't be the people we are today without it. We save more lives, we have more and more people striving to create these new products that help is live our lives, yeah it's not like old times but why should be living like that if we're becoming smart. This is Kony all over again, it'll be forgotten about next week.

It happened again, I went off on one.

Anyway, I'm going to make it an early night with some tv. I'll get thinking of some beards.

Day 175 - I'm writing a film!

So yesterday didn't seem like a productive day until we all got talking about films, and I came up with the idea of writing a film. I have a pretty good idea, I really want to get some ideas down and you never know, send it out to some places. Not sure what places but I'm sure we'll work that out. I don't want to say too much about it either because I thought of it myself and don't want anyone to steal my idea. I'll just say it involves a bearded Michael Fassbender.

Looks like another slow day to be honest, band practice was slow and we need to sort out some more dates for the music video. But that can all wait. Think I'll crack on a film and enjoy the rest of this Sunday!

Day 174 - Great day

It's been a great day to say it's a hangover day, all we have done is say around, eating good and watching tv. Now that's what I call a weekend.

Nothing majorly eventful happened at last night, it was a good night all round and we all enjoyed ourselves!

I need to think of some more beards for next week, maybe I need a theme for the week. I'll get thinking for the rest of night.

Day 173 - It's today! | Featured Beard: Uncle Albert (Buster Merryfield)

Today is the day! I've got my loan in, everyone is coming up to party, and then we party haha. Still got a few other things to plan, like the pie and punch for when we get in, but I'm sure that will go fine. That is until the drinks start flowing, and knowing everyone that is coming out tonight they will be flowing fast no doubt. It is such a good feeling knowing that I don't have to be up early tomorrow as well. We have band practice on the Sunday and Monday to keep us going over the week which is good.

I checked out a few videos on YouTube this afternoon on slicking my hair back. Usually I go for the full on slicked back like CM Punk style, if you don't know of CM Punk he was a WWE wrestle who slicked his hair right back, in fact he is one of the guys who made me get a haircut. Not him personally, I saw his  hair style and thought "that's cool" and I went for it. But yeah I love that hair style but it always looks so normal, I've been wanting to make it a little bigger, sort of Johnny Cash style. Apparently it is called the pompadour, which I had no idea about but I've watched a few How-To videos and found a good way to give it a go, I have the perfect hair for it, I just need a decent comb which I'm going to pick up soon. I have to go into Bodycare on my own which I am not looking forward to at all. Also considering getting some new jeans, because the two pairs I own both have holes in, which again means going into Primark on my own, not fan again.

Thought I'd force myself to do this post a little earlier because I'm leaving work a little early so we can get back in good time for everyone to arrive. Don't want them coming in to a dirty student house, they probably will though haha. 

------------------------------BEARD TIME-------------------------------

I left a few clues about this one, and I'm sure anyone who reads it will get it straight away. It's is of course Uncle Albert. Played by Buster Merryfield in the extremely successful British Sitcom Only Fools and Horses. Unfortunately Buster passed a way many years ago at the well bearded age of 78.

Buster of course going for the really really thick full beard, but light on top. I know I've send in the past that I'm not a big fan of gray beards, but this guy and Gandalf are the exceptions in that rule.

Only Fools and Horses was a great show and it still is to this day. Pretty much everyone I know can put on an episode and laugh at least once. So here is my all time favorite scene from show.





Have a good weekend!

Day 172 - Hair chop

Okay, firstly, no featured beard because I got let out of work early and bolted for the train so I didn't have time to blog at work. Might be the same tomorrow unless I can get a bit of time before I leave. I'm sure you can guess who it is anyway, but it should be on tomorrow.

I thought I might as well cut my hair and give my beard a little trim before going out tomorrow because I'm going to have no time at all from when I get I'm to blog. Friday should be a decent sized post but don't expect much from Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Hangovers and band stuff don't give me much time during the day. Maybe the Saturday blog will have some stories in it though haha. Anyway, decided to cut my hair for the first time on my own and I can't decide if I've done the back properly or not. It feels like it normally does but if I try to get a photo of the back of my head it looks different. It's a lot harder when you're ok your own but I think I managed it alright. Saves myself some money not having to go to a hairdresser. Just noticed a massive block I missed on the back of my head, I best sort that before work tomorrow haha.
