#246 Doodle Challenge

Doodle number 5... It's sort of interesting how some of the doodle comes from the subconscious, but then there are conscious design considerations as well, every now and then. Still, it's fun to go with the flow.

The (365-365)+(250)= 250 Doodles in 250 days Challenge

Things have been looking very boring around here lately, so a decision has been made to spice things up with a doodle project:)

The Challenge:

Yes, I know it's been done at the blogs next door, and at that other blog you visited last week. It was a good idea and I couldn't avoid the trend because I'm a doodle fanatic! ;)

and mine's different coz it's called:

"The (365-365)+(250)= 250 doodles in 250 days challenge!"

Tell me you've found this challenge somewhere else.
(listens...)
Thought not.

Okay, I'll call it "Doodle Challenge" for short.

PS. I don't mind being a sheep.

Ingredients:

  • This blog
  • 250 days starting just now, today
  • My trusty camera and tripod
  • The pen/s in my hand 
  • paper, and,
  • the wacky brain I already own which is doodle-coded.
Enjoy the challenge!

    SOPA STRIKE

    This blog is (was) in support of the SOPA STRIKE as outlined at http://sopastrike.com

    There was a "blackout" of this blog on Wed 18 January, 2012 in protest. Hopefully, it helped at least one person to become aware of this potentially freedom-ruining bill that is to be voted on in American government.

    Hopefully, this bill will not be passed as it would probably spread to the rest of the world and our internet freedom would be at risk. Even though the bill might have the power to clamp down on piracy, it would also be open to abuse by the powers that be.

    Mind Fix

    What do you do when thoughts become a muddle?

    Okay, so you're at a crossroad in your life. You want to do amazing things, but there are so many things you want to do that thoughts become a big muddle...  What do you do?

    Here's how I handle the situation
    • Get a piece of paper
    • Plan life's goals
    • Decide how I'm going to get by
    • Write down what's on my mind

    then, I either:

           (a) get overwhelmed
           (b) get motivated
           (c) start a to-do list
           (d) doodle
           (e) fall asleep
           (f) write a blog post about it

    Of course the aim is (b), possibly coupled with (c).
    Of course, I don't really mind if (d) or (e) happens.
    (f) just tends to happen.

    How do you sort out and organise your thoughts? How do you become motivated?

    Somehow, this song popped into my head when I wrote this post:



    So, how do you manage? How do you fix the hole to get things into perspective and stop the rain from coming in?

    Staying Alive

    All finished with the previous year and on I go to final year It's 2012 the world will end I doubt it or I'm round the bend. Photos, writing life and art I hope that I can play my part and still have time to sit right here and chat around the blogosphere. Passing is right at the top, with saving for contiki *pop* - I'll play and sing and dance and, hey, I'll meet new people on the way, without forgetting those from past: not least but last...
    The ending is a bit sketchy, but this is how I felt, in some words I wrote in when I was inspired by the opening sequence of the TV show, The Big Bang Theory, which I love.


    (warning, the pictures in the opening sequence go really fast, so if you can't tolerate fast image sequences, don't look at the video.)



    To be perfectly honest, I have put off blogging so far this year because I don't know how I am going to do it. This year is final year in Fine Arts so it will have to be amazing, and I just might have to ease off on the blogging a bit. I won't stop altogether, but there will be a bit of a lull and, if (and when ;) the world is still going in 2013, blogging will be coming out of my fingers like mad-dust-> whatever mad-dust is...
