We get along for the most part, me and reality

We get along for the most part
Me and reality, the light and the dark
We live alone, two different worlds
Me in a fantasy, you in your memories
But we get along

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I've last written on here. Last year, there was a time where I had nothing much to say. There was a lot of job hunting, interviews, call backs, and disappointment when things didn't work out.

Finally, in September last year, after the latest very promising second interview for a job I ultimately...

Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.


I’ve tried very hard recently. Very hard. But I can’t seem to figure it out. What’s the point? And I don’t mean this in a dismissive, rhetoric question kind of way, but genuinely. What is the point. Of life. Of existing. Of me. This may sound depressing. It’s not meant to be. Just currently I’m still at the ‘in between’ phase. I haven’...

I really like Christmas. It's sentimental, I know...

And yes, I have all of the usual objections to consumerism, the commercialisation of an ancient religion to the westernisation of a dead Palestinian press-ganged into selling Playstations and beer. But I still really like it.

So it's been a while since I last wrote a post as I've been working 7 days a week and not had the time to post on here. But now with the holidays over, I thought I'd take a moment to write about what has been going on.

After weeks of...

Just like the sun that chases the rain away...

As I begin, let me say that I'm afraid. Seems to me that all these things could go either way.
I suppose I could fold up into my self, quite safe, and wait for these pieces to fall into place.
But not today.
 
The most recent realisation that I'm about to join the "grown-up" world now that I'm officially done being a student has made me rather nostalgic lately. And while I've been looking back at the last 23 years, it struck me just how lucky I have been.

I've had the chance to travel to many diff...

Things have been so crazy and hectic...

Things have been so crazy and hectic. I shoulda gotten back by now. But you know how much I wanted to make it. It's probably better anyhow. 

It's been a while since my last entry but I've been all over the place - and the world! Two months in America, visiting the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame, Rockapalooza Festival, Niagara Falls, and New York City kept me busy enough, and then I got back to London on a Wednesday morning and started an internship at the BBC on the Monday straight after! 

So five fu...

Waiting for my real life to begin...

Posted by Carla Boyd on Sunday, May 13, 2012, In : Music-related blogs 
Don't you understand? I already have a plan. I'm waiting for my real life to begin...

 So it's been a while since I wrote my last blog but I've been busy, busy, busy. 

I finished all of my coursework and handed in my final dissertation (downloadable here) and now I'm (semi-)officially done being a student. I won't know my results for sure but it looks as though I will definitely get at least a 2.1 degree and if my dissertation result is reeeally good, I even might have a shot at getting a low 1...

Introdiction

Posted by Carla Boyd on Sunday, March 11, 2012, In : Music-related blogs 
You see a mouse trap – I see free cheese and a fucking challenge!

For the past year, multiple different people have advised me that if I want to work within the field of New/Social Media, I should keep a blog. So here it is - my blog! 

The topics of my blog aren't quite decided yet. I did however decide that if I am going to put out words to the world, I might as well talk about things I care about. So today's blog is named after a line from one of my favourite songs, by one of my all time fa...
