Understanding

I'm afraid this is going to be a rant so I apologise

Recently I've come across quite a few threads online where I've been described as unattractive to say the least, so I think its time for a rebuttal


Now maybe I'm really missing something here, but I don't understand what is achieved by sitting on faceless forum thread, hiding behind a keyboard and saying such things. If you don't like me, no one is forcing you to watch my content, lord knows I'm not, so there's a simple solution to this in my mind at least

If you don't like me, Don't watch me.

If you do watch me after deciding I'm ugly, and you feel the best thing to do with your time is to go online and comment about such things, maybe you should be looking at your own life, and it might surprise you to find out that there is an entire word outside that isn't the Internet (I promise, there's trees and people and everything, its just like the Internet only bigger! and mostly in 3D)

 However, no doubt there's still plenty of people out there that will still feel the need to post such things, and I'd just like to say, I dont care, I'll be out enjoying the real world, you have fun on your keyboard.

Much Love

There's no Business Like Show Business

A Day in the life

Alot of people have an idea I lead a champagne life style, whist I understand that thought, I don’t, so heres a day in the life of Steven Prior!

Day starts at 6am with my alarm waking me up to the sound of Radio 2, now I don’t normally get up quite this early, however today I have an early doctor’s appointment at 7:30 so I have to get up early. I go through the normal morning routine of showering and shaving, having breakfast and leaving the house at around 7:15 to head to the doctors. So I wait around at the doctors till I finally get called around 8am (how they can be running late when they only opened at 7:15 amazes me) and its a pretty routine appointment, its nothing major, I just have to have a monthly check up due to my thyroiditis.

So I leave the doctors and drive to work, and I amazingly get there on time, so I'm at my desk, coffee in hand by 9am, Check the computer, there’s 18 Emails, so that’s the first order of the day. I spend the rest of the morning getting angry at several local authorities because they're not doing their job properly, and are holding up planning for most of my winter touring shows. I manage to get away for lunch and meet one of my best friends Tom for a pub lunch and a swift pint. The Afternoon is taken up with a mix of designing some effects for upcoming productions and a mountain of health and safety paper work (which is the bain of my Life)

So I manage to leave work around 5:30, getting home for 6. Have dinner and promptly fall asleep. Wake up an hour later to my flat mate coming home from work .So I then knuckle down to the business of doing some more designing for my site(s) that are in development. After spending an hour or so doing that, I pop to the pub for a swift half with some friends.

So it’s now 9:30pm, I’m treating myself to a beer, watching someone on cam4 and having a damn good and well deserved rest! oh and blogging, so yeah, my life isn’t that exciting, but it does me, I'm satisfied and I love my job and have some great friends

What more could a simple porn boy want?

So Much of me, Is Made of what I learned from you

The Big L Word

Loves a funny thing isn’t it? Nothing else can put you through the full range of emotions it can be exciting and passionate, yet it can also be Dark and sinister.

It makes you do funny things, you don’t understand why you’ve done them, or even the fact that you did it because of love. 

So with this in my head, it leads me to my next point. The fact that I am damn stubborn, A phrase my dad uses stick in my head “I never hold a grudge for more than a decade or two” and this normally sums me up completely, you get on my wrong side and it takes a long time to get forgiven. So maybe I am wrong, but I will never think I am, maybe what is the matter is I keep wanting him to be something he’s not. So it will always be my problem rather than his, but does this mean I move on? I keep telling myself I have, yet always find myself close to him again, so maybe I haven’t, maybe I never will. Its amazing I can be angry at him one day, yet the next day I’m arranging for him to come on holiday with me because I know it’s something he’d love, and nothing makes me happier than seeing him happy. (it also doesn’t help that he’s damn beautiful)

I’m summery. If your reading this, I’m Sorry, I’m a Wanker, but I’m afraid I always will be

Today for you, Tomorrow for me

Oops I thought I'd posted this yesterday.

I'm going to spend this post saying exactly how amazing @tehmoog is.

Right now, I have an image in my head of him having read that last sentence, turning bright red at his computer, and so he should be. He's Brilliant. Yesterday I was feeling at one of my lowest ebs, I was all set to get in bed with a couple of cans of Guinness and feel sorry for myself, when out of the kindness of his heart he invited me over to talk about everything that was bothering me. So off I trotted to east London where he sat and listened to me talking absolute crap and bollocks for well over 3 hours. And trust me, I was talking bollocks. So In summery. Hes amazing. Go follow him, go love him. I know I'll always be there if he ever needs me!

Take a Letter Miss Jones

Alcohol, the Great truth serum

Last night, I got rather drunk, well that puts it lightly, I got very very drunk.

And I ended up arguing with my ex, which isn't really like me at all. I said alot of things, and in the clear light of day, I'm trying to work out if I was actually wrong. Yes,I said many nasty things, but it wasn't anything that wasn't in my head already. And its left me wondering, as easy as it is too say these things when you've had a skinfull, does that make it alright that you do? or is it a good thing that you were able to get it out of your
system? rather than having it eat away at you.

Don't dream it, be it
