So what is exactly is it that you do: Manage the budget & construction of Tiger Woods Golf Course which is open to due 2010, if you have a spare $25 million US you should snap up one of the villas for sale!

I recently co-wrote, produced and directed a music video for the new album with my Australian visual production team, Method of Design [formally Square Frame Studios] which was a ton of fun. The first one produced by MOD was nominated as the top 100 films in the St.Kilda Film Festival in Melbourne, which was a pleasant surprise. MOD is focusing on post production, animation and photography through multiple industry sectors.

So you are a student and life is good, well not really…money is always tight, studying is heavy and all you really want is a decent environment so you can do absolutely nothing! Yes the concept of doing absolutely nothing, has been lost to adult and married types alike, but a much sort after past time that many a student yearns for.

Roaming Newton Chapter 5:
I arrived at the Mall of the Emirates (http://www.malloftheemirates.com) via a taxi driver whom had no idea what Fly Fishing was all about. All he said was that he doesn’t eat fish and mumbled something about not wanting to talk to me.
This mall was huge! I mean really big, so big that it has its own Ski Slope, yes you read that correct, with snow and ski lifts. Snow in the desert what a concept. Well the shopping was awesome as the Dubai Shopping Festival had just started so I went crazy buying stuff. Walking around this massive mall was insane, cosmopolitan and cultural diverse groups of people floating around in a shopping Utopia.

The lights of the city are extremely motivating and any ideas of seeing desert is lost as you fly into what is a very built up enviroment with little to no sand around. So I couldn’t find that job in London, actually I haven’t been able to find a job anywhere, hmmm I need to start focusing…
