#YellowChocolate

Today is International Women's Day, a day that I feel needs to be acknowledged and promoted far more than it is. As a #HeForShe, I think today is the perfect opportunity to acknowledge and challenge the social injustice that for so much time and by so many people, is brushed under the carpet (and probably expected to be done so by a woman at that) Why in 2016 is it still acceptable to pay women far less than men? The fat cats hide behind their masked reasons but the fact of the matter is that they still don't care. Whether you are a man or a woman does not affect your performance in any job role, so why does it affect your salary? And don't even get me started on the opinions of women at work and whether they'll 'up and leave to start a family'. Why is it still common for a woman to be asked about her family plans and why does it matter? Why in 2016 is there still a glass ceiling? You can try and gloss over with excuses but the fact remains that their is no...

So this is what I plan 2016 to have in hold for me. Let's see how many I succeed on this year. Being more ambitious with Jack Union as I edge ever closer, and number 11 is the most important, I must stop ruining my own chances.

Usually I'd have posted this on the 31st December, but I completely forgot, I've been neglecting this blog and I shouldn't be. With 2 completed in 2012, and 3 in 2014, I'm hoping I have completed 4 for 2015 to continue this upward trend, because even then that's only 25% of my NYR. 1. Complete the Second Draft of Jack Union: Ab Initio -  FAILED! 2015 is probably one of the year's I've worked the most on Jack Union. After a becoming friends with Lauren, who worked with us at the beginning of the year and likes to edit books, I had a huge spurt of motivation and inspiration. Finally someone to talk storylines with, specific passages character development. However, it was not enough to finish the second draft. I have approx. 30 pages left to edit for 2016. 2. Keep fit, go to the gym and maintain a healthy weight between 11st 3lb & 11st 6lb -  FAILED! Another failure, but perhaps not as much as I think. Really, at 6' 1" 11st 3lb is not re...

Can someone pleas unriddle this most unusual dream for me and tell me what it means. I was at my old school assembly room with a friend from university planning a circus themed party. We were doing very well, with guests loving these ugly circus people face pictures. People from my school and university years began taking a seat whilst my friend set up the first piece of entertainment. He had stacked up hundreds of drinks in a stair-like fashion, and then had several more on a cuboid clothes rail, which he pulled up on the stage. Then, after a countdown, he shoved the clothes rail one to come down the drinks stairs and into the audience, making an almighty mess. Add in that another university friend was telling me their boyfriend 'Adrian' had bought them a car, and I am truly stumped at the meaning of this dream. BTW, I did have cheese before bed...

There has been a massive critical hatred for Jared Leto's The Joker image that was shared on twitter last week, but what does everyone really think? Personally, I quite like it. He certainly encapsulates the mania and hysteria that The Joker has, and some of the tattoo's are great, but 'damaged' written on his forehead?? Really? The purple glove looks a little ridiculous too, and is not necessary in the slightest. Rumour has it this isn't the final design, I can't wait to see the finished result.

1. Lola Pearce Lola did it. Here's a few reasons as to why I think it's her. 1. Lucy argued with her grandfather Billy, that would piss off this young lady. 2. She was the girlfriend of Lucy's twin Peter at the time, perhaps Lucy thought she wasn't good enough, or she wanted revenge after Peter telling her that Lucy was Ian's favourite. 3. The photos found in Billy and Lola's house, perhaps from Lola, leading to her rather than Billy who we first assumed. 4. Jay and Ben had Lucy's phone and purse, perhaps they are involved to help cover up for one of their best friends. 5. The woman on the bus could be Lola's mum, a new storyline. 6. She's due a juicy storyline. 7. Lucy once fired Lola 8. Lucy may have found out about the kiss between Lola and Jay, and threatened to tell Peter 9. I've just got a feeling. 10. They know she can work well under pressure of a live show. She had a baby in the last live segment sh...

2. The Woman On The Bus Ok, bare with my on this one. I know you're thinking who the fuck?? But let me explain... Click This Link  and you'll find yourself at Lucy's Case file CCTV recordings. Lucy is chased on the bus, by someone who is clearly a woman. Follow the footage onto the bus and the person behind Lucy sits next to Jay. Lucy proceeds to finish sending a text and just as she puts the phone down, this woman picks hers up. Coincidence or not? I think Lucy text her. The woman reads the text and says something to herself, and boy is she not happy. Next thing, Lucy gets ready to get off, looks back in fear to see someone also getting off the same stop, AND THIS WOMAN GETS OFF AT THE SAME STOP. Now, this woman, I don't know who she is. I think she could be the mother of suspect number 1, or Cindy or Kathy back to life, or a mother of a dealer or anything, I just think the scene is so weird she's got to know something! Suspects 75-66  ...
