Hello Trig, Hello World

Hello. This is new.

I have been a user of Myspace for quite some time now, so I was intrigued to be invited to try out Trig. I'm still not 100% sure why I was asked considering I knew nobody on here to begin with. But for some reason, that only the Gods are sure of, an email landed in my inbox and started the ball rolling.

Right, blog content....where to begin......well I shall expand upon my rather poor excuse for a biography. I am Dan and although I have not been assessed by a physician of any kind, the best way to describe me would probably be depressed. And as with most people in this situation I have no underlying reasons for this problem. Sure, everbody has hurdles they have to overcome, but thats no reason to mope around the house in your PJ's all day like I did today. But some how I don't think depression is down to the problems that you face, it is more down to how you percieve and deal with them on a personal level. Afterall, not everybody deals with bad news, delayed trains etc etc in the same way. So in conclusion, I am probably not depressed because of my situation, I am depressed because of who I am. That is not to say I feel down about myself (I could stand to lose a few pounds though), it is just to say that I feel this way because of the type of personality I am and how I choose, albeit subconciously, to deal with things. And if that aint a bunch of useless psycho-babble, I don't know what is. I have just managed to fill a reasonably large paragraph and yet not really tell you or me anything about myself. But maybe i'm naturally evasive....or maybe i'm just teasing you....maybe my life just isn't very interesting and there isn't much to look into. Just remember.....you cant say analyse without saying ANAL. And thats exactly the nature you will have to have if you want to coax the real me out of my shell.

Anyway, should be heading to bed soon. I am up early for work in the morning. I don't know If I mentioned it but I work for the UK's largest chain of cinemas. I do occaisonally work as your general cinema monkey, but I am also a part of the conference and events team. This means that tomorrow I have the pleasure of ignoring all of the "delightful" children running around the building making a mess so that I can concentrate on business clients who use the cinemas own conference suites to escape the office. Of course, this isn't exactly the case tomorrow. On a Sunday we have two Church groups who use the cinema for their services. One church group (the smaller of the two, about 30 people) is lovely and loves nothing more than to have a chat. The second Church group however seems to be more interested in making money than spreading th good name of the lord. Fire and brimstone are in abundance every week along with an equal helping of rudeness and disregard for anyone who may get in their way. It is people like this that make me happy that I am not religious. Religion can give comfort and reassurance, but it can also cause pain and in the case of this one particularly rude group can be used as a tool for personal gain. I say, have faith in yourself....but coming from a self proclaimed depressive this piece of advice is probably worth less than spit. Or perhaps it means even more from my humble perspective. And perspective is exactly what life is all about.

I also like to use my quiet Sundays as a chance to catch up on my writing. As you may have gathered from my Bio, I am currently writing my first novel. Its working title is "13th Earth" and its a political, sci-fi, murder mystery. I won't say anymore as if I continue at this rate it may never get finished. I need a muse.....could it be one of you delightful Trig people who can give me the inspiration that I so desire.

There are also a couple of writing projects I have on the go in collaboration with some friends of mine. Firstly, a TV sitcom named Ramblers. We have been working on this for ages but it never seems to come together as a cohesive whole, but hopefully a TV executive will find it as funny to read as we do and it will be even funnier on the small screen.

Finally, my last wrting project that hasn't really gotten off the ground is an idea for a trilogy of graphic novels (Working title: Cursed Earth). These will be a little bit like the novel "The fountain" in the sense that it will be a similar tale told in different time periods. The basic premise details how Earths Governments have been manipulated by an "outside" presence for thousands of years, shaping the way that many historic events have played out. This will all come together for a future-set third installment and the battle to reclaim Earth.

I have probably said enough. I'm not quite sure what tags I can assign to this blog....I seem to have gone of tangent quite substantially.

Oh well.

Good Night.
