Work in Progress

Written by UrbanVox 0 Comments

Urbnanvox.Net has a new face!!!

Some people messaged me complaining that Internet Explorer didn’t like my template, that it kept hiding the BG image, that it was all wonky… At first I thought it was a connection problem… then I accessed the site from the Gym’s cafe… and hell it looked awful! But the last drop was really when Vic checked the site from my laptop here at home using IE7…

Then I thought… ok… time to do something about it then!

And here’s the result!! A work still in progress but in my opinion it looks cooler than the last…

I’ll twit when the stuff’s all sorted…

Meanwhile I want to say that the Pimp My Blog Awards was not in vain! I will still use the the designs to produce T-Shirts that will be sold on my CafePress Shop (the money raised with the sales will go to the Crossed Waves Initiative’s project Urban Angels that works with the intuit of training and deploying personnel to Urban centres with the mission to act as Outdoors Counselors and develop activities to get our kiddos out of the streets and giving them something useful to do (they’ll be involved on workshops in areas like internet & new media, film making, photography etc)! Did you know London has one of the highest suicide indexes in the world??? wow!!

I’d link the Urban Angels website here but the CWI’s website was attacked by hackers not long ago and I still haven’t had the time to get it up and running… but I’m working on it!

Anyways… let’s buy T-Shirts peeps!

zya!

I hate keeping secrets!!!

And there is a huge reason for that! I am awful in keeping them! (with the excepcion of some that I REALLY am obligated to keep because of ethics etc).

But i am Specially bad in keeping the ones I so so badly want to tell to every one!!!

For example, I REALLY want to tell everyone about the plans for unit 4, the longshop @ abbey mills in Wimbledon.

I really want to tell everyone about a video/photography online exposition I’m working on (that depending on response might actually become a phisical one! Yayyy!).

I really really want to tell everyone about the stuff BO Productions is planning to bring to the UK in 2009 (hint: UK based bloggers will LOVE it!!!)

I really really really want to tell everyone about Crossing Wires (web/cable TBC series), Action Stations (web/cable TBC series) and Lost Keys (short film) that are in phase of pre-production hoping to have them out and about mid 2009.

But I can’t!!!!

Ok… Time to leave the warmth of our local starbucks and go have a lil chat with my business banking manager…

How about you??? How good are you in keeping secrets???

Zya!!!

Let it snow let it snow let it snow!

I got woken up this morning (it is the 2nd or 3rd time… yup my lie in was divided in 30 minutes segments) by Vic screaming “it snowed it snowed yayyy”.

I was happy! I missed the snow… it took me 5 minutes to get out of bed to go and see it, but I did miss it. TB was also happy! Vic looked VERY happy… snow time had really started to proof one more of my beliefs wrong: That the BBC weather guy is always wrong.

And for a while everything looked pretty in white… Vic even took some pics and all…

Next thing we know the snow is gone!

oh well… never mind… it still makes me happy!!!

Why??? simple!! It means I was not 100% wrong about the BBC Weather people!!! yayyyyy!!!

hehehehe… I know I am being random here… but I felt I had to share that with you!

Off to eat at Yuska’s… Strogonoff yum yum!!!

Zya!

PS: Remember the cute police lady that stopped me when I was on my way to pick up the new car? I can;t believe they are making me use L plates now!!! I’ve been driving for over 10 years now and now I have to use L plates??? The shame of it!!! sniff sniff!! (VLog on that coming soon)

PS2: UrbanVox.net full master-plan is now ready and you will notice a few changes on the site on the next week or so… and this time I promise I’ll I’ll try not to change the blog template as I’ve been doing lately… experimenting you know… hehehe but I think I might have the right formula now…

WTH just happened????

Disclosure: this is a post written in ranting and raving mode while enfuriated but a huge black guy wanting to find trouble where there was none. If you think that is going to offend you, then DON’T read it you dopstick!!! Otherwise you might actually beneffit from the Reading.

Why is it that some people are always in agressive mode, always trying to start a fight for nothing… For no aparent reason? Or for some stupid reason like the color of your skin!

A huge black guy just threatened to hit me because I gave way to his kid into tb’s school… I GOT OUT OF THE WAY for his kid to pass and he starts screaming: “you f@&£@ idiot, can’t you see where you are going? You think you are better than me? Hey I am talking to you snow white”!

WTF was that all about???

Don’t take me wrong, I am no racist!
Far from it, my grandmother was black for goodness sake! And so are some of my bestest of friends!!

But why is it that some black guys (and girls) are always so hyped with some hidden meaning in the actions of white people? Or even some of their own really… Genocide happens every day in Africa because the tone of black is someone’s skin is different than the other…

I am not saying that this doesn’t happen with White, yellow or red people, we have huge amounts of historical proof that it does, but seriously… Can’t we just get along???
And for goodness sake, can’t these troublemakers please cut the crap???
Slavery was abolished more than a 100 years ago!!! Time to turn off hatred and defencive/agressive mode and learn to live in civilization!!!!

And some “offended parts” need to learn to ignore these abuses in order to keep the peace.

Yes I walked away!!!

That seemed to enfuriate the guy even more, but I am not gonna waste my time in things that are not worth wasting my time on… Plus your kid’s school is no place to start a fight but some assholes don’t really think like that do they?

So boo ha for you mister I am bigger than a wardrobe and I am talking to you!

As my mother used to say, what comes from beneat doesn’t reach me… (unless it is a well put kick or punch… Got one of those from tb today.. That area is still sore!!)

Gonna hit the swimming pool now! Unwind…

Zya later crockodiles!!
