Hi there
Now, I'm really sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days... but still, it's only been a few days, and I have some exciting news to make up for it! But more on that in a bit.
The first thing I'm going to talk about is the death of Osama bin Laden. Now, I won't pretend I know very much about Osama, or the intelligence that led to his death. In fact, I know hardly anything. But in my opinion, from what I have heard, his death was not justice, but simply revenge. I'm not saying I support what he did - I absolutely do not support it at all, he was a terrible man and he did not deserve anything good at all in his life. However, I don't condone the death penalty for anything; the inflictors of the death penalty are just as bad as the victims, in my mind. I know this is controversial, but I don't care. Revenge is a very easy thing to inflict and also to justify, and this is why I never condone it; because it is too easy to justify. Better to not kill anyone and take the moral highground.
Anyway, on to my next topic. I'm really excited about this one. Probably some of the people who read this blog will know that I was a massive fan of a BBC teen drama series called The Cut, which aired from 2009 to 2010 on BBC Two. It was cancelled at the end of the third series. Anyway, it was always marketed as a viewers' drama, so viewers were encouraged to give their input, like storyline ideas and music ideas and that kind of thing. Anyway, when it was cancelled, a few of us fans took it upon ourselves to write the next series ourselves. And I am happy to say that things are in motion now! I am in charge of our team of writers, who will be deciding what happens in Series 4. It won't be aired, or even filmed, but it will be written. I am really chuffed by the amount of dedication from my team, and I thought they deserved a mention, so yeah... I just wanted to talk about this here.
People I love and admire: has to be my new team of writers!
By the way, I apologise that this isn't really a great blog post. It's not one that I've been immensely proud of, possibly because the two subjects are so completely separate from each other. But, it's what was on my mind today, and they can't all be excellent.
Ta-ra!
