Well today is our first rehearsal for our winter show with Showstopperz.
I’ve already been told of a few of the songs I’m doing…
One is The Islander by Nightwish
I absolutely love this song… and the best thing is… Reno wants effects just like it :-) happy days for FX :-D
Anywho….
Much love my friends….
Right i’m testing the new writerous plug-in for Windows Live Writer. It should allow me to post to Posterous from Live Writer… Fingers crossed
Anyone who knows me will know that Meh is my most used and favourite word in the history of language… well except for Arghh but that’s a completely different story….
I’ve been decidedly meh for several weeks now… and there it is the start of another depressing blog… aha that's where you’re at least slightly wrong…
Ok so it’s a little depressing at the beginning… basically a summary of my life over the past few weeks but then I promise to come up with something a bit better…
I’ve been in school a total of 8 periods since the summer holidays, that’s 1 whole day at the beginning and 2 on the last day of term. I’ve spent my time doing school work, going to a psychologist, going to the doctors, occasionally playing a computer game or two and editing (btw the I’ve begun uploading the Gjoa Haven Stuff to YouTube).
Now that takes up about 50% of my time, the rest (here comes the sob story lol) was consumed with anguish, upset, stress, anger, hate, rage, crying, sleeping and worst of all Nothingness… I wrote a short story with the theme of nothingness for English before the summer, You may be thinking (if you made it this far through my rambling) that nothingness is good, it isn’t, feeling nothing is kind of a blessing for a while but its also confusing. I don’t know how I feel about my current situation right now, I know that the main perpetrator of the whole music business I had was not who I originally blamed, sure he’s still a bit responsible but it actually turns out to be Sue High, the depute rector and SQA ‘Coordinator’. I probably shouldn’t even have said that but hey, she can’t hurt me any more than she already has.
The point of that rant is to explain if I’ve appeared off with people and haven’t replied much to texts and Facebook messages etc…
Anyway back to what I’ve been doing, I got dumped (can’t blame her really… long story short I’ve been a pretty shitty boyfriend, and also the bad timing doesn’t help), went to Copenhagen and Kentucky, got paid some money, finished editing the Showstopperz DVD and… well that’s about it apart from the concert last Sunday… that leaves me with today… rather airy fairy on migraine medication…
Hmmm… I’ve been trying to decide what to do to make up for the depressing bulk of the blog and to reward those of you who have made it this far down… I’ve drawn up fairly blank…
Well I did until an Idea struck me literally 3 seconds ago… I can’t reveal the surprise just yet but it’s to do with film… here’s what I want you guys to do, either leave a comment with your name and email address or send me an email (oliver.cerberusfilms@gmail.com) with your name and I’ll get back to you with more information… I’m afraid I’m still putting the plan into action at the moment.
This offers only open till 10pm Tuesday and can only be done by people in Scotland I’m afraid.
So to anyone whose read all the way down to the bottom of my illegible and and randomly put together post, this is my way of congratulating you. Oh and the final condition is if you’re under 16 you will need to be able to get written consent to take part in a film (potentially even if you’re crew).
Anywho enough of my rambles…
Much Love My Friends
As always
Much love my friends

I felt I should probably blog again tonight after having promised to for so long…
I’m including a couple of videos from my time at SYT this year… For anyone interested in drama or technical theatre it really is the best place to spend your summer… I did the technical course again this year and hope to do it again next year…
Here are four videos that I took whilst there…
Well I’m going to Glasgow tomorrow with some friends to see Bowling For Soup at the O2 Academy so I most likely won’t blog tomorrow and I’m not back till late on Monday due to a Solicitors Meeting in Glasgow on Monday :-) but I’ll blog when I can.
Now I’ll leave you all with this wonderful video of the one and only Rory Beaton… even if you don’t know him it’s funny…

The title explains it all really… I’m knackered, shattered, drained, exhausted and generally dead…
Its an interesting feeling really… not quite in my body yet not quite out of it either, I feel almost disengaged from most of the world and its various stimuli…
This is how I’ve felt for the past 2 months… every day and night… it’s a depressing thought but something that anyone and everyone who’s ever had or is close to someone who’s had CFS/ME will know well. It’s the most common symptom… it usually combines with something called ‘Brain Fog’ which is essentially where the brain just fogs up and you can’t think at all… not good to have in the middle of an exam or 10pm the night before an essay is due….
People tend not to believe in CFS as its not a condition that they can see… on the outside the person can look perfectly fine but on the inside they’re practically dead, can’t think, feel sick and are about to collapse. There are some signs people can notice, such as an almost zoning out or in some cases, head on a desk snoring…
I’m trying hard not to turn this into a rant but if I don’t stop this line of thinking now it will become one…
I want to tell you all about an exciting project that I’m beginning that puts most other film projects out of the window for a short while and then hopefully for a much longer while early next year… but I can’t without giving to much away… when I’ve sorted the Scriptwriter I’ll blog about it… sufficient to say that the title is
M.E
I quite like it myself… here’s some concept poster art I did to kill time…
Much Love My Friends
