I'm afraid that the lack of blogging over the past few months has been more than the fact that I've been busy. I just don't want to blog about my photography anymore or about subjects that I have been on my mind. I believe that there is so much I can say through photography rather than by typing about it, besides I've never really presumed that many people read my blog, apart from the few that have mentioned it to me, so for those few, I thank you for your kind words.
However, I am moving to Tumblr in the new year (I told you that I wouldn't give in to Twitter). I think that Tumblr will give me a format where I can just quickly blog about little things, whether it be; photography, fashion or just general news. So I'm gonna keep on typing for at least a while, but gone are the days of lengthy blogging, my only regret is that I didn't type up all those ideas when they struck me. BUT ANYWHO. I'm gonna write one last blog post for old times sake.
THE DARK SIDE!
what is the deal with "bad guys" in films? I mean what is their deal. They never seem to have an agenda, the reason why they are all bad and evil like. Lets take an example shall we.
Look at this guy. Scary isn't he? This character's name is Sauron "The dark and evil lord" of Mordor, and he creates quite a nuisance for the people of middle earth in the Lord of the Rings films. His overall 'aim' for the films is to conquer the land of middle earth and rule as the dark lord. To do this he must defeat the people of middle earth and destroy them. Now what he didn't think about is what he's gonna do if he actually took over. I mean is he fighting for better rights for orcs or he is trying to expand the lands of Mordor, so he can provide better housing for the ring wraiths? (excuse me for all of the lord of the rings lingo, if you haven't watched the films, then this bit probably isn't for you, in fact watch the films then come back and read this blog, you'll feel better for doing so). My point is he doesn't have a clue what he would do if he took over. I can see the conversation now...*Awkward silence*
Sauron: So what now?
To take a opposite look at the Dark (or bad side) in films. Lets look at another big baddie..
His Royal Bad-ass-ness Darth Vader
This guy rules over the Star Wars films. I'll explain to you why he is an awesome bad guy. For one, his name just spells baddie doesn't it? (I feel very much like a gay fashion critic now, not sure why) He owns a cool weapon, A red lightsaber, not a lame green or blue one, but a red one, a lightsaber that actually looks like it cut through a big metal blast door. he comes out with phases like, "I find your lack of faith disturbing" while choking someone with the power of the force, I mean how cool is that? However he too has his downfall, when he tries to kill his own son; Luke who then chops Darth's hand off, (talk about karma). Then the big daddy emperor tries to kill Luke, so good old' Darth becomes good and chucks him over rail into a reactor core (there's that Karma again), but this kills off Darth through the use of the emperor's fancy lightning bolts.
So he is the only bad guy we can love in the end because he reverts to good in the end. A bit like a criminal renouncing his sins at the end of his life, so everythings hucky doory (this karma thing is confusing) But to round off my point, I think that sometimes being bad can be cool. But for the the very last time i'm gonna let you decide for yourselves.

P.S Happy Xmas and Happy NYE :) x
