everything, is everything

I grew up in a Victorian or Georgian button factory split into flats by Islington council and I’ve always loved it, its too small for me and my mum but I love it despite that and the lac of original features it still manages to give off a lovely sense of history. Since the age of 16 I have lived in a number of period properties split into flats one on the corner of Amhurst Road in Hackney right next to hackney central train station, the trains shook the house and I loved it. Until recently I lived in a property on New Cross Road with crack’eads running around and screaming outside at night, however it had benefitted from being modernised unlike the house of my childhood the rooms were large the hallway wide and it came with an amazing roof terrace I could of lived there for a while, but now its gone and I have my sight set on building the most beautiful Georgian property but not in the uk somewhere lovely and hot, and that requires adaptations, adaptations that are demonstrated to the highest and most effective degree by the HATION GINGERBREAD HOUSE.

This blog is about, well its about me and all of the things I like and some of the things I don’t and why I don’t. I have been asked to create this blog for a course at uni. I’m going to honest and say I’m not entirely sure how I feel about having a blog as a major part of my academic experience, even if the course is writing for the media. This may be because most of the blogs I follow consist of pretty pictures or because my own personal blog (and I expect this one too to some extent) is purly a platform for me to scream my random musings at world, I rant I rave, I post odd out of context phrases and quotes, it is a place for me to display my writing and of course reblog anything that takes my fancy. so I’ve done some research to find out if a blog has to be this way, some very noted and important people and organisations must have blogs right? Well Ken Livingston has a blog for the LBC website. But as much as I like Ken and often normally agree with his politics, he is exactly the sort of semi marginalised person you expect to write a blog, so maybe we will move on. I have also found a blog called black UK politics there are a few decent articles, an appeal for ongoing help for the survivors of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and a video clip of Malcolm x, however this is a blog speaking about the political issues and needs of a marginalised group of people, it seems fitting that there be a few blogs allowing for the discussion of issues often kept out of mainstream media. (though I would be interested to know who runs such blogs and how accurately they feel they manage to represent the concerns, needs, and political ideals of over a million very different people).
The Guardian has a ‘news blog’ but it isn’t very personal or brief and if I’m honest doesn’t feel like a blog at all just a place to put articles that don’t fit in the paper. I’m still not completely sure how I feel about blogs but I am sure that I like them best when they are random and personal, and that they will continue to be used by the marginalised and the disenfranchised to shout our message to the world .
