Art for Arts sake?
Wednesday 31 October 2018

When someone asks me if I’m creative or not I would generally say that I would lean more towards the logical mindset. I generally look at problems with a logical mindset work and I eventually ended up working in information technology. It was something that I was able to go very well when I was younger and after quite a few failed years at university trying to study all manner of things I ended up deciding to take my knowledge further than playing at home. Yes I did end up with a big student loan and nothing to show for it. When it comes to study the one bit of advice that I would give to anyone who doesn’t know what to do after they leave school is to go out and get a job. This helped me greatly in deciding that I wanted to work in information technology. When I returned to study some 10 years after leaving school I knew what I wanted to study and I was prepared to get the work done to achieve this.

Although I don’t consider myself an artist or a writer I still spend some time writing either my thoughts which end up on this site or in my short story bag which only a select few get to read and also I enjoy listing to music. The writing as you can see from my site is something that I don’t do a lot of the time. Music is something that as a child my family was quite involved in and I did learn to play the piano as well as the trumpet. I played in a few different groups from orchestras to jazz bands and choirs. I wouldn’t say that I didn’t enjoy it but I didn’t see myself being able to turn this into a profession. I did enjoy playing music and I did get a lot of rewards from it. My time at school playing in the Logan Park High School Jazz Band still holds some special memories for me and is something that I hope still stay with me long after this article has been lost in the depths of the cyber space grave yard.

I also have a very good friend and writing colleague who had decided to dedicate his life to protecting and defending our way of life. But due to some unfortunate circumstances an accident left him unable to carry on with this decision. He then rebuild his life and started to create universes. He knuckled down and wrote his first novel and created a roll playing game just to name two. Then after all that he also went to university and studied . From there he went on and studied computer game creation.
