Shoe Porn

My birthday is this weekend, and when asked what I wanted, I gave the right answer any girl in their right mind would give. Shoes. Not just any shoes, Irregular Choice shoes.

Anyone who has seen Irregular Choice before knows the utter beauty and individuality of each pair of their shoes. I am already lucky enough to own three pairs of their shoes, and five of their wonderful handbags. I am more than a little bit in love with this company. I even waved the flag for them at this years Olivier Awards ( I really, really had the best shoes there), I repeat in love.

So we will just have to wait and see if the shoe fairy delivers, and then plan a trip to Kurt Geiger. I’m a shoe girl, what can I say?!

The impact of Jack Howard

So I am already failing at daily blogging. Bugger it, however I am back now so we shall begin.

I watched a YouTube video this morning by Jack Howard and what i gathered from it was a theme of change, and it got me thinking, change is the worst. I am currently in the same state of change, with friends moving forward, and myself seemingly taking a massive leap backwards. But when people can see you in the state of change, the way the react to you and your situation can really say a lot about your relationship with them.

This is not me saying that the people I know have let me down, rather it is only in this situation have I been able to reassess where I stand. And it turns out I stand completely different to how I thought. That’s the worst thought of all. I have always been told I think I am something which I am not, and maybe this is me realizing that, I have to say its not a nice feeling. Especially when you have given as much as I have. Generosity is nothing. Every Nan for himself and all that jazz.

This has taken a different turn than I expected! Any who, talk tomorrow!

My 2361st Idea

I find something incredibly interesting in the concept of daily blogging. I am by no means new to blogging, I have, for the past 2 years written my on theatre based blog, and I have to admit, I love it. But as I am currently away from London, I am working on empty for a while on the musical front. But I have a load I would like to write which is not relevant to the page anyway. And that’s where we begin.

I’ll introduce myself first. I am Sam, I am a week away from turning 21 and have just completed my degree.

This all means I am on the dreaded job hunt, something which is proving a lot more difficult than I thought. I was convinced that getting a degree would open a lot of doors for me, but alas not. Some say over-qualified, some argue under, and as always, the dreaded ‘you need experience’. So here I am, in the front bedroom back home, job hunting and beginning what seems like my 2361st idea, documenting this particular struggle.

Having recently moved away from London for a while, I can honestly say I miss it, I am now used to hopping on a tube and floating around central London taking it all for granted. Clacton is not the same. We have holiday-makers and a beach. I guess you could say that at the moment I am a holiday maker, or am I a returner? I don’t really know the technicalities here, we’ll go with holiday maker, because returner makes it sound like I am intending to stay.

But, all will come well, I can feel it! If you don’t have positivity, you don’t have anything.
