Magic in Bath

So today I decided that I would go to out today, because I didn't really want to stay at home so I went to Bath to see if I could find any jobs around Bath or Bristol if I had time.
So as I was walking through town I saw a lady, with a table and some cards. I was intrigued so I had a look. She didn't look like she was doing much so I decided to look around the town more.
After a little while I came back and she was performing magic! How cool was that! After my previous rant about my plan, I see someone else doing some magic as a performance.

Her name is Billy Kidd you should go check it out. She did a few great performances including a classic cups and balls trick. She was great and funny, even got me laughing a few times. After watching her and seeing the crowds reaction, it got me thinking. Maybe it could be something that I would be able to do? I got a chance to speak to her afterwards, I asked her how she got started in street performing, maybe give me a few tips.
I gave her some money as donations or whatever and that was the first and only time I've ever given a street performer some money at all. Not sure if that's a good thing or not...?

Its funny I've never really seen many Magicians performing in my life, maybe I should more often, maybe it will help give me the encouragement to do it as a profession.

(oh... and I never got around to finding any jobs or anything)

Contemplating Procrastinating

I feel I need to blog, but again with alot of this thing they kinda suck and I have no clue what it's about most of the time. I guess my main topic that I've been thinking about is life. yep thats right the thing that everyone has and chooses to do with it how they please.

Recently I been realising that I've actually got to hurry up at decided about moving out and getting a proper job, instead of just thinking about do it. As the inevitable is getting closer and closer. I don't really want to to the same thing as I've been doing, but at the same time i don't know what I really want to do.

I had started thinking about 'Plan Z' (my last hope) which was me being Magician idea, the only thing about that is I don't really have the confidence to do that kinda thing, though it could prove as something I could learn to deal with. There is also the fact of needing to be unique. I mean, yes I can do magic, but most of the stuff I can do most magicians can do. I don't have anything new to bring to the table.
Also the general media of maigc seems to have died now that the internet has become more and more popularised since you can probably find out how a trick is done just by googling it.

Life right now to me seems very complicated, this is my turning point of my life right? Move out, get a job that's what growing up is all about. I really hate growing up, why can I be a kid again and not having anything to worry about. This is why I hate the future so much, it never feeling like you're in control. I've never been good at any sort of decision making.
I'm sure I'm not the only person at this state, maybe I need a role model, someone/something I can hope to become? The only problem with role models is the tend to let you down, just like everyone else.

Home Alone

So in a couple of days my Mum and my sister are going away on holiday to Hong Kong for a few weeks, so I'm pretty much going to be home alone. Only my brother will be at home doing f**k all, while I'm going to be working all the time. I wish I had a few days off myself, to get my head together, maybe try and better myself through life. Just seems kinda unfair that I'm still having to work. But I guess I won't have to put up with it for much longer...
