I posted a quite deep and dark post on here towards the end of last year around October, November time when I was going through a really bad phase. Through the help and support of friends and family I managed to get myself fully out of the funk and in a great place. But life can change and as we all know at times its like being on a roller-coaster. Full of up's and down's. And unfortunately nothing in my life has prepared myself for the start of 2013 which I have had. It's been shock after shock after shock and I have had to pretty much deal with every single emotion that you could think of in life. Everybody says these things "come in 3's", everyone says that "things can only get better from here". Well after 5 different things that have occurred in just over a month, both those statements don't particularly ring true lets be honest. Those that are close to me know what i have had to deal with, and I can't exactly blast it on here to be ...

My last post went into detail about the only modeling job I had in January. Not a bad one to have of course having the trip to the Maldives, but the rest of the month was very quiet, something that you have to get used to in the industry. Thats why its all well and good getting a good job here and there, but without filling the rest of your time up, the money earned has to be spread across the quiet times, something that finally I am starting to become more sensible about. Anyhow, January may have been quiet, but I have hit the ground running in February already and its only the 4th today! GEORGE ASDA - FITTING On Friday I booked a little journey up out of London to the George Asda offices in Rugby, close to Leicester. Early start for me, something that I am certainly not used to one bit! Gets tough sometimes when your body clock is constantly changing, but with the weekend off ahead of me, I was all good. Plus it was only a fitting too. Now, for those of you who are not sure what...

I don't think in my wildest dreams would I ever have thought I would start any new year off with a trip to the Maldives, let alone a work trip and let alone THE best job I have ever done. How can I compare some of the jobs I have been fortunate enough to do? Well, I will try and break down why in this post, but I just want to concentrate on getting across why this job was so amazing in so many different ways. - As a quick sub note, those who read my blog and are not following me on twitter of Facebook, feel free to add me and you will be able to see all the images from my trips. Unfortunately due to restrictions of the IPAD I can't get pictures on here to support it, but I am working on it. OK, so the job itself is for a library/stock shoot. Now what that simply means is that a production company sets up a variety of shots and puts them on a website to be brought by companies. I have no control over the usage of these as thats included in my fee. It's something that many...

I have just come back from some of the best 4 days I have ever had with work out in Rome, Italy. Now Italy has always been a place that I have wanted to see more after only previously spent 36 hours in Milan a few years back. When the opportunity to travel comes up with work it is absolutely perfect. And Rome was just absolutely incredible! One of the best cities I have ever been too without a doubt, full of culture, full of history and an utterly breath taking place. I always have to make the most of my trips abroad and spend any down time I get walking around and taking in these places. Rome was no different and very fortunately I got to experience it with some great people as well. Where do I begin??? (from the start I guess ha) This job was very last minute for me, not knowing when or what time I was flying until late on Wednesday. This happens very often with jobs and you need to ensure that you have the flexibility to cope with last minute changes to ensure that you don't...

It's been a few weeks since my last update (lazy boy I know) and to be honest there hasn't been too much going on at all. This time of year is often very quiet in the build up to Xmas, but it has got even worse this year for some reason. But thats part and parcel of doing what I do, the inconsistencies, the instability and that thought of the unknown. Socially though I have been a lot busier and it has helped make me so much happier. They always say keep yourself busy and it helps make u feel better, its so true. I literally haven't had a spare evening for a long long while. Going out more, meeting new people, its what living life is all about. I went to see a Muay Thai fight night a couple of weeks ago which was amazing! I also to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park too which was brilliant! If there are a group of you going there I highly recommend it believe me. It's so amazing and so much fun. Now those that know me know that after a few drinks I love a boogie! We were ...

I am a bad man aren't I?! No blog post for over 3 weeks! No excuse and my apologies. Makes it hard to try and think back at what I have been up to in that time. But will try my best thats for sure. The main thing to be honest is that I am now living in London, have my total independence back and at feels so good. A huge weight lifted off my shoulders and so much more time on my hands instead of suffering the Essex to London commute. The place is so nice and quiet and already I am feeling very settled. Still needs a woman's touch to decorate my room a bit more, but I like it. MERCEDES SHOOT Out of the blue on a Sunday evening I received a phone call from my agent asking if I was available for a shoot on the Monday morning! Last minute or what, but as soon as she said it was for Mercedes it was a no brainer. YES. Even though I was working until 2am that night, I really didn't care, works work after all. The reason why it was last minute was because another model had worke...

Well that last post 2 weeks ago was rather depressing wasn't it?!?! First of all I would just like to thank those who read my post and contacted me about it, much appreciated to know there are so many out there that care and I hope that many know that I am always here to return the favor to anyone in need. Feeling down about things is something that happens to everyone at some point in their life. It happens to people living on the streets, it happens to people who are rich and famous too, it doesn't matter what your life status is, the mind is such a powerful thing, for good and bad. I was in a state of mind that wasn't letting me progress forward and was not letting me get the past out of my head. I was jumping at anything said to me and quite frankly just miserable. I started to believe that every day I was down, when in fact it was just all in my mind. Life is hard yes, but life has such amazing qualities too. These qualities are the ones that makes life so enjoyabl...
