My 2017



So as usual I'm doing my year in review summery.
2017 has been an interesting year for me, in terms of growth, challenges and learning more about myself.

Its been a year that at times has been difficult, but I feel like the things have been difficult in order to provide me with a stronger outlook and resolve heading into 2018.
Life does have a interesting way of balancing itself, although bad happens eventually good will always rise up to equal it.

I've met some amazing new people this year too. People that although I haven't known long, I am very grateful for their presence in my life. I feel very happy to have each and every person who has spent time with me or talking to me this year. You all know who you are and we all have great times to come.
I broke straight edge after 10 years, something that was a big thing for me, an evolution of sorts.
I've also added more tattoos to my body, which will continue next year too
I have taken in some amazing gigs this year including an amazing time at Slam Dunk South 2017, spent time with good people, loved ones and even became a Godfather to my niece.

I feel I will be heading into 2018 with a renewed optimism, a fresh and positive outlook to do more, see more and spend more time with all those I love. Its certainly not 'New Year, New Me' because I'm definitely the same old me, just determined to keep pressing onwards to have the best year yet.

I'll keep it brief but to anyone reading, thanks for being part of my life. See you all next year.
Happy new year to you all.

IT (Chapter 1) Review

[The following review may contain spoilers] So reviewing a film is difficult, gush and risk overdoing it, but under do it and it leads to indifference. Let me start this review by saying, IT is absolutely 100% fantastic. Currently for me, my film of the year. Growing up, my mum read a lot of Stephen King books, and so I found the book IT at a younger age. Upon reading i was immersed in this dark cloud covered Derry community, plagued by a recurring shapeshifting nightmare. The book became one of my favourites. This however lead to a problem, the miniseries version of IT starring Tim Curry.. I didn't like it at all. Although Tim Curry and Co did a great job with the tools at their disposal, this version did not fit with the Derry and Pennywise I had in my head. Skip forward to 2017 and welcome to Derry, Maine.. A picture esque quaint town with a terrible millenia old evil living benethe it. Director Andy Muschietti breathes new life into a horror classic creating somethi

Spotlight: Candyfloss

My spotlight series returns, this time to introduce you to one of UK's brightest new stars, Candyfloss. Candyfloss is one of my favourite new talents here in the UK. The London native is a regular on the UK independent scene, plying her trade up and down the country and making new fans wherever she goes. Debuting a mere year ago, she has grown in leaps and bounds already having great showings against Dahlia Black, Jinny and Little Miss Roxxy. By all means don't let her happy go lucky attitude and sweet name fool you, this girl can go in the ring, happily mixing up her style to utilise high flying, solid ground work or her Candy Cane cross arm breaker submission. Candyfloss was trained through one of the UK's finest companies, PROGRESS, whom she also works for. Her time at the ProJo shows, she is excelling rapidly and is turning more than a few heads and I think that international talent will start to look to Candyfloss for matches shortly.
