my life as a artist
why tv
Tuesday 21st October 2008 10:02 PM
I was scanning the TV programmes for Friday night, and the first thing that caught my eye, like a splash of hot fat from a chip-pan, was that at 10:35, on BBC 1, if I wanted to, I could watch the Jonathon Ross Show with Ricky Gervais and Gordon Ramsay. I then go on to find out that between the hours of ten and eleven, across all the main channels, excepting Channel 5, I could choose to be in the company of either Frank Skinner, Al Murray, pub landlord, Alan Carr or Jeremy Clarkson.
Ah, winter draws on! We watch the TV instead of the fire, and the flames of these particular flickering numpkins don't give out any heat at all, and they leave a lot of clinker. They remind me of the very expensive bags of coal that you can buy at service stations, that turn out to be lumps of concrete painted black. I've told a couple of producers from Yorkshire TV that I burn sweet and hot like seasoned hawthorn, but they haven't got back to me yet.
When I've got a bucket of bile, brimming with rancour, freshly-drawn from my deep well of bitterness, I know that I should really drive to Bridlington, bless it, and pour it into the sea, but sometimes I find it easier to throw it over other entertainers, who've got more work than I have. Rather than give in to an unseeing cloud of prejudice, jealousy and impotent rage, I thought it my duty to transcend such base emotion, and try and offer some sort of rational critique, so I tried to watch a bit of the Jonathon Ross show for research purposes. However, after two minutes of toe-curling cheese, ironically spread on a cheap corn-cracker of excruciating insincerity, I had to turn it off and go back to the blind, judgemental approach. Sometimes it can be a real time-saver.
Like Wayne Rooney, like gold, like virtue, time is becoming increasingly precious, and yet people so often just waste it. We live in a time of massive time-debt, because for hundreds of years, there's been people out there who'll steal a couple of minutes, and then lend it out as though it was half an hour. The time I saved on Friday night, by not watching the Jonathon Ross show, was saved in a fair-trade, special high-interest, personal account, which I cashed in at my local Bank of Eternity, and spent on doing a poster for an upcoming gig with the Travelling Libraries.
The gig will be at the Winning Post on the 7th November, and I'll tell you more about it soon, but because I really splashed out on the poster, I'm afraid I've run out of time.

Hmm is anyone else having problems with the images on this blog loading? I'm trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi! I've been following your blog for a long time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Dallas Texas! Just wanted to tell you keep up the fantastic job!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your site. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Superb work!

Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm going to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It's on a totally different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Wonderful choice of colors!

Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any points or suggestions? Cheers

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Superb blog you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any message boards that cover the same topics discussed here? I'd really like to be a part of group where I can get suggestions from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Many thanks!
