To all of those interested. My most recent article will be featured in the UK’s biggest wrestling magazine: Fighting Spirit Magazine. For more info, please visit www.thisidigitalcanvas.tumblr.com

PT - TDC

To all those Tumblr followers, This Digital Canvas has now gained a smidgen more journalistic integrity (mainly due to me writing for a few publications now).

So, what was TDC is now Paddy’s Blogs, mean while, if you’d like to read any articles, excerpts or blogs that I’ve written/publish/writing, then please visit me on www.thisdigitalcanvas.tumblr.com. 

The site is a little baron at the moment, but will fill up relatively soon.

Cheers for following me before and I hope you do the same again.

Made me cry with laughter in the middle of the office! Good one!

Well ladies and gentlemen, I meant it when I said it; this will be the last installation of This Digital Canvas. I’ve had fun writing, but one can only scribe their thoughts and memoir-esque ramblings for so long. It looks like my time has come and now passed. I have some journalistic writings and columns on the horizon and will be finally writing for someone other than myself. So from the depths of my fingers, thank you ever so much for reading these digital buffooneries and I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I did writing.

Decrepit. That is the one word that is the only word that I can find how I feel at this time. Old, feeble and having the life drained from my very essence. Why do I feel so aged?

I’m jealous.

I think of everybody back in Nottingham and how I wish that I could be a fresher again this week! This time two years ago I had nothing to my name; but a chubby grin and a pocket full of cash. I was as faceless as everyone else, just a guy craving some fun with a group of bandits as eager as me. Let’s dash back 729days into the future and we see Mr. Patrick Townsley, sat at his computer desk working…well, blatantly not working as he’s writing this. He works 9-5 (ish), Monday to Friday in Slough and commutes from Uxbridge in the morning. He goes to the gym 3 – 4 times a week and has yoga every Thursday evening. He has a wonderful lady in his life that he sees practically every to every-other day, and the very few hours that follow are spent in of his colleagues, a beer or the box.

I have gone from Fresher to Fledged in the space of two measly years. Let’s view the statistics:

The thing is; I’m having shit loads of fun. I live in a house with three epic guys. I have a great bunch of guys and gals who like me to the extent that they threw me a surprise birthday party. I’ve booked a holiday with my girlfriend and I have a gnarly life in general. I have everything I could possibly want except the freedom to be a tax draining douchebag who spends his time being as productive as a snail is attractive.

The thing is though; these feelings are the bitter/sweet tragic beauties that my life seems to orbit around constantly. I know for a fact that I would be no where near as happy at university as I am right now. Sure, I’d be able to numb every sense in my body and try to define being happy with purchases of nights out, liquor and things to keep my buzz going, but without them I’d fall into the shallow empty boredom that engulfed my life. Why would I want to go back to that?

Well, it’s not exactly the life I dream of, or at least it wasn’t. The only reason I want that freedom and that right to exercise every second of every day without being shackled by working commitments is because I want to spend more time with the life I’m living now.

I will say this for the record; don’t take your years at university for granted. A couple of months into working and you will crave the days where you began. The years where it didn’t matter how fast the days went. When the mornings would blur with the night. I’d be happier with a longer weekend right now.

When I get back, I won’t waste a moment.

I guess the blog that started 18months ago as a teenage angst, pathetic cry for help has reached its nearly Disney happy ending. The protagonist overcame the obstacles; he fought the demons and got the girl. Cliché it may be, but there you have it.

Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a pleasure.

Thank you

TDC

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Well, here’s the thing.

I’m at yet another standstill. I’m bored in the office, there’s not too much going on and I start to realise that I haven’t wrote a blog; or any digital literacy, in quite a while. There are many reasons why my fingers haven’t thrashed upon these raised letters that sit before me. It could be too busy at work, it could be too busy at the gym, it could be too busy with the girlfriend, but honestly, I reckon it’s because I’m pretty good and I have no reason to piss nor moan about stuff that flows through this egocentric circus; I call a brain.

So what about something less egocentric, less about me and more about this world I live in.

There will probably be ONE FINAL instalment in This Digital Canvas as a farewell, but a change is coming.

Watch this space!
