I could have been a doctor or a lawyer, but there were too many damn good shows on TV!

As a pitiful attempt to successfully restart my blog, I thought it would be a good idea to list a couple of my own favourite TV shows out there, and well, include descriptions, as I'm pretty bored right now...

Chuck: Don't you just hate it when you open an email from a long-lost friend which literally transfers and stores secret government knowledge into your brain which then requires you to be monitored by CIA and NSA agents for the rest of your life? Well, you probably don't, but in Chuck you can see exactly what would happen if those events had ever occurred. Furthermore, Chuck successfully mixes some of the most awesome fight-scenes out there with some of the most humorous and memorable moments on TV - a definite must watch!

HIMYM: Ever since the finale of the classic sitcom Friends, I had always believed that nothing would ever have the potential of knocking it off the pedestal. That of course, was before I became an avid fan of How I Met Your Mother, which, like Friends, has one of the most memorable cast of characters available on TV. With the show initially being set in the future in the year 2030, the story of How I Met Your Mother is narrated through an ongoing flashback from the year 2005 onwards.

Naruto: Is this one of those lame-ass Japanese cartoons, you ask? Yes, well, no, it's awesome, damnit! Originating from the Japanese Manga of 'Naruto', the animated series has also seen plenty of success over seas in the UK and USA. The plot of Naruto tells the story of the titled adolescent ninja searching for recognition to become a Hokage, the ninja-equivalent of a King. The story of Naruto is still ongoing today, released weekly even in its Manga format, proving that the plot of Naruto continues to only get deeper and more interesting as the story progresses.

South Park: Known world-wide for its offensively crude humour, South Park has not only provided us with plenty of jokes for us to repeat to our friends later, but has also provided us with a fantastic and lovable cast of characters. Every episode of South Park successfully tackles either a moral plotline based on current nation-wide events, or follows the main cast of children through their daily lives where they take part in events that every child dreams of doing - which then get drastically exaggerated with disastrous yet hilarious consequences!

Well, that was a fail on my behalf...

Okay, here's something you should probably know about me; rarely do I ever dedicate myself to something for a long period of time before I get completely distracted by something else more awesome - in this case, I'm talking about the ol' blog.

It was a while back since I last posted on the pixelfreak blog, so for the life of me I can't remember what I got distracted by - but I'll tell you one thing; I've been working my ass off over the past few weeks with the amount of coursework and exams I've been doing... I know, I know, you don't care, but it's hard work people!! Let a man complain on his own blog, why won't you!? Sheesh!

Nevertheless, the time has come where all of my courseworks and exams have been completed for the Second Semester of Computer Animation... well, I have one more exam, but, c'mon, cut me some slack, y'know?

Well, as I'm no longer busy busting my hump over the wonderful oh-so-simple animation courseworks; I've decided to attend back to my blog!
Which is a good thing, so be happy damn you. Nobody knows how truthful I will remain to that statement, so go place your bets now! .. it's the thought that counts though, right? Right? ... probably not.

.. and here's one I made earlier!

Welcome back fellow internet-dwellers! Throughout the small time I've been at Portsmouth University I've successfully progressed to the second semester of my first year doing Computer Animation! This means I've already passed one semester already! Awesome, right!? .. yeah, I know, it surprised me too..
What you see in the picture above is the Wireframe Mesh of the Bugatti Veyron I modelled for one of my units. I won't go into full extensive detail about how I created it right now, because, well, it's looooooong. I promise you, I'll tell you all about it in small and not-so-frequent doses. Cool?

One of the units for my current semester requires me to actually begin animating 3D Character Models, which'll be pretty interesting as I have a rather awesome project in mind to begin with after completing this unit too, I won't go spoiling it just yet, but it's pretty chill... ahaha!

F1RST!

How did you find this place? You've probably come to the wrong place, y'know. You're not allowed here.

Oh wait, it's you. Very well. Wipe your feet before you come on in. Now...

Time for my James Bond impression... Ahem!

The name's Bawn. Adam, James Bawn. And yes, I am the next up-and-coming MI6 agent, which is a total lie, because in actuality; I'm a Computer Animation student at the University of Portsmouth! Fun!

What's that you say? Yes, I too agree that this blog could've been so much more interesting if I actually were some MI6 agent- but don't you worry! Soon, I'll be animating MI6 agents, or, something.. I don't really know where I'm going with this, but yeah..

Anyways, this blog will mostly contain posts about my general interests, but it'll also have some posts about my current projects that I am working on, which is always an interesting topic to hear about, aye? No? Well, I'll make it interesting for you.. somehow.

I'll be back to build upon this blog later! Peace out hombrés!
