Thanks for sharing #LLBS

I don't know what I was thinking - usually I am making people tweet at events. However, after Social Media Week my enthusiasm has been quelled. What really got me laughing was the tumbler blog (I'll find the link) that ruthlessly "added comment" to people's tweets. If you are worried about looking good, someone disagreeing or having a swipe stay home.  That blog is a million miles away from ask.fm bullying. It is for people (like me) with their heads so far up their internet arse they don't

Here we go again.... 30 Day Blog Challenge TAKE 2

Bored shitless with smashing my head against a wall I have been relaunched back into action with Natalie's 30 Day Blog challenge.  Ok maybe this has been made easier..Made easier after working out what I don't want to do and who I do want to do it with.  The sliver bullet came with the Sharing Economy Podcast and blogging. for 1000's of years I have looked for something to do online that means I can work from anywhere. In the last few months i have cracked it. Hardly original, an online blog cou

Back and bad

After spending yesterday morning inside my head and cross eyed everything turned out well. Big thanks to the people that SMS'd and DM'd me to get my head out my arse. Even before you sent the message knew you were right. The Lesson I thought all morning about blogging about it and then when finally did I woke up. I love blogging. I am sure more than one of you are wondering why I wrote his shit.I have moved faster in the last week than I have all year. Also when I walk into a room these days the

Make something of it!

Bollox, here we go again.  The way I am feeling right now this will be a sad, sad, read.  In fact it is really daring of me and the main reason I am writing is quite possibly so the both of you that read this will come and punch me in the face and say "just get on with it Mitchell". I have been using up at least 30% of my head space thinking about whether to share about this or not. So I decided to share. Yesterday I did two events and one went BRILLIANTLY and the other one I died at.Not even

Ow!

Well I think that went ok? No one died. It is 7:30pm and I am zooming home, earlier than expected. Which is great!  I am on an Eastbound Central Line train standing next to a Mother with her very small baby in one of those "Baby Björn" harnesses.  The baby is so cute! It reminds me of #babybernie when he was that age, it seems like 100 years ago now. Everyone said things like: "they grow up so fast", "they'll be moving out before you know it!" I believed them then and I am even more convinced n

Mood Swings in the park

I am not sure where this post is going to go so stick with me. 1. I forgot to post over the weekend, I was going to lie and say the 30 days is only week days but that would be bending te truth I know keeping you promises to yourself is important. I am not going to fall on my sword or do a foefiet (spell) I am just going to get on with it. 2. The park. We go to the park a lot, it is where Oli and I connect the best. He climbs on things built for teenagers, chases ducks and runs after dogs.Som

Tottenham Court Road

Man alive! I have been thinking about this post for years and years and years.                                                                    (I nearly wrote tears there by mistake).  Anyway! I have been coming through Tottenham Court Road Station for years. It holds joy, sorrow and mess for me.I have puked in the corner, fallen asleep on the platform, broken up with girls (actually they were probably breaking up with me but you guessed that......)  Of course most of this was all in the la

I had to write something....

So much to talk about.... I have made a commitment to myself to blog here everyday and have been walking around all morning trying to decide what to write about. Less is more So of course when you want to write about everything you end up writing about nothing..... If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything.... Working out loud - what a pussy.  Which made me recall that I am working out loud, I am sat here at my other favourite London co-working place contemplating about thinkin

Reinventing You, me, everybody.....

So I wake up this morning in a BLAZE of glory and think bollox. I did SOOOOOO much yesterday I am going to have to do finish it all today.  Time is something I have enough of. The only thing I have more of than time is fear. Not fear that I am about to die, that the cops are coming to get me or a plane is about to land on my house. Fear that if something goes wrong today my new zest for life will be stamped on. The last few months have been shit. When I was little I'd drink too much vodka and

Frozen in the middle.....

One of the things that stops me writing here openly is that I worry what people will think.  Phew, there I have said it. Out of jail. I have acres of prime time content that has never seen the light of day because I am worried that someone won't like it.  Actually when someone does not like something or says it to my face I NEVER get upset, (ok it hurts but actually it is only one or two people in the whole world that I really 'get upset' by ;-)  I STRIVE to be constructive so I always ask opini

It seemed important at the time

I have been thinking about this all week. The phrase that has been hanging in the all month is working out loud. (I'll come back and add the links in there later) (but I probably won't as I'll forget).  ANYWAY What ever will people think if we work out loud? If we let people know what we can and can't do? I have been thinking about blogging like this for, er three years, ten years, actually even before anyone even invented blogging I had some form of mindless stream of consciousness going on
