Through out the world people gathered on squares, in stations, in organizations or wherever to
Pause for thought. Pause for human kind. Pause for our planet or to do a prank for a laugh!

Understanding
Ok, so I have been to nursery, primary school followed by secondary school, sixth form and then university. I have pretty much been through the academia strata which I have enjoyed as I love studying, it is pleasure I take to really well, as I believe in the power of knowledge.
Now I am in the industry of my field (the arts) and I am a working individual, I am trying to understand everything and anything. This may not make much sense at the moment, but I am writing this and thinking about this in an abstract way. The working lifestyle, working politics, the media, everything! At the moment I feel there is a strange feeling in the world today and I cant quite put my finger on it. Morals and ethics seem to be not incarnated in people’s way of living, which will result in the decadence to the world just as the fall of the Roman Empire!
Ok a bit over the top hear you cry, but really, there is a point as to what I am talking about! The wars around the world, climate change, deceit with partners and friends, a rise in the seven deadly sins, lust, gluttony, vanity, sloth, envy, pride and anger it seems to be rising to boiling point within my generation, even when I was smaller there seemed to be more love in the world! Whether its because I was younger and unimpressionable who knows, but if you read the revelations the enigma seems to be revealed! - This could honestly just be my thoughts at the moment due to the place I currently am at (a transition period in my life) but all I say is observe and watch, don’t be blind but use the light wherever you are! :-)

PEOPLE
I feel i need to get some things of my chest. Why do so many people lack respect for others? There has been many times i walk out of my house to go to the local shop or to go to work and by the time i get back, i am already pissed off! People barge, step on your toe, give you funny looks, etc there is no common/mutual respect between one another anymore!! its crazy!!! Wheres the: "Good Morning" or "Hows it goin".....its gone! You say hello and people look at you like your some sort of freak!
Of course you can't let it get you down, it will be a waste of time, you have got better thing to think about, but honestly, how are you suppose to relax and chill with the negativity that surrounds you day in day out!!
People, people, people!! Please take a step back and realise your body language and your manner between one another!
And we say the Western world is civilised! I beg to differ!!!

Humanity
I currently cannot sleep and i go back to work tommorow (well today really, 2.30am) Today i had a conversation with my big bro about the media, and how blurred peoples views are on certain topics which was once seen as right or wrong. But i have always had an issue of what exactly is right or wrong.
I remember studying Philosophy, my teacher Mr Mcarthy always indirectly asked for this sort of answer (right and wrong). But is there an answer? I know, many people know it is wrong to Kill but why is gun violence risen? why does it look cool to certain people? Why is it becoming a way of life now? With so much media exposure, people are slowly going to begin to think it is the norm and it is not!
These are my thoughts, opinions, premises etc on certain things and everytime i think on certain issues that are happening in the world today, more and more time i feel that less morals we have the rise of evil begins to grow and people are beginning to take it in as normal!!! Its crazy!!! Espeacially when we look back in history, from Moses, Nero, Ceasar till now, have human beings or mankind really changed for the better or are we getting worse?

Say Fromage
Say Fromage is a digital photobooth where people can take a picture by using a shutter release button, surrounded by a curtain for privacy.
My friend Shaz and i went to the Design Grotto where there were a variety of artists and designers selling some of their work. We got our picture taken from Say Fromage and was placed on their website! Not bad eh!!!
