Drawing block.

I don't seem to have any inspiration again or want to draw.
When i buy new pens this seems to make me want to draw and what i find odd is how it depends on the type of paper too.
Like a couple weeks ago i had to stop drawing in a pad because it took all the inspiration away from me.
So i started drawing on single pieces of paper.

I've decided once i come into abit ot change i need to get out more.
I want to take some photos but i keep leaving my camera at the flat.
At the moment I'm at home in the countryside.
It's great here, but i need to learn to drive.
I went for a walk the other night round the village and laid in a field watching the stars...
luckily i wasn't alone because the screaches we heard made me 'nervous'.
ha.

Jonathon Dimbleby: BBC

Dad has put on, An african Journey with Jonathon Dimbleby
It's actually really interesting and giving me hope to not everything out there is distraught

I really suggest you watch this, i'm sure it's on youtube.

I guess this can still be filmed in a biased way though...
how do we ever know what to believe?

Maybe i could start my project on something with a contrast of good and bad?

GAAAH!!!

Dad's just left the room with the news on again...
but this time he's taken the remote.
I'm sat here being made to watch about how 2 little kids have been killed and have finally been put in their final resting place.
*Tears

I still can't bring myself to search the news yet.

Decissions...

I'm sat here watching sex in the city,
Just drank my Horlicks and thinking about going to bed.

My second latest facebook status might help explaining this:
Angelina Ioannides-beer:
 TRYING TO KEEP AWAY FROM THE THE NEWS DAD, WTF ARE YOU DOING?...
I look up to find the news on and my dad's left the room. I don't want nightmares.
Then again after all this anti-news, my summer project is to look at the news.
THANKS.
 
I have two choices,
First one, I can either just read up on some good news and base my project on this.
Or
As the main reason why I never listen or read or watch the news anymore is because there's nothing i can do about it.
Choose a issue/topic that gets me emotionally involved and find a way that i can help, change it with this project.
 
Get what I'm trying to say?
I hope so.

After trying my very best to ignore the news...

and all the shit that is going on around me,
guess what my summer project is?
"Pick a current social, political, environmental or cultural issue that you feel strongly about. Don't feel strongly about anything? Try watching the news."

The reason why I don't want to watch the news and have chosen to stay stay clear is because there's nothing i can do about it.
I'll just get angry and depressed about it all.
