The Life of Bryan pt.1 - In the beginning there was Bryan. They could see it was Bryan. And it was good.

Allow myself to introduce...myself. (That's from Austin Powers, I think)
As my "about me section states, I am Bryan. I am currently 21 (though that may change next August). I live in London - possibly the greatest city on earth. I study Film and love it - no, it is not a doss subject. I do up to 17 hours a week this semester, which is over three times more that most arts students do in a week. So there.
I have been with my fiancee Joanna for smidge over four years now, and have been engaged since February 15th 2006 (she didn't notice the ring 'til after midnight). I love her with all my heart and we get on so well together. Our secret? Plenty of petty arguments, most of which we laugh at literally about 5 seconds later.
Oh, and lots of sex.

Yes, I am vegan. Yes,I do think it is healthy. Yes, I do think I am doing the right thing. Yes, It is good for the environment. Yes, animals are compassionate and feel pain. No, I don't believe eating animal products is "normal" or "natural". No, soya is not more damaging than meat. Yes, there is science to prove everything I say - as long as you ask politely I will dig out sources and references for any claims I might make in everyday conversation or on here. I don't base my opinions on hearsay or speculation of minorities.
On the lighter side of vegan things, there will be a lot of eye-candy for food lovers because I love taking pictures of food I make (which is a lot of food, if you don't know me already).

I love analysing film texts. More specifically, I love black & white and high contrast. This only really struck me lately after watching lots of noir, Renoir and Bergman. I am determined to one day make a completely meaningless film (in the grand scheme of things) which conforms to my aesthetic aspirations purely for personal satisfaction.

I am a devout feminist, socialist and believer in all things equal. I hate the world most of the time, and marvel at its beauty the rest. I scowl and smile in equal numbers to reflect this. I sometimes laugh when walking along on my own. Sometimes it's podcast-induced, but mostly it's because I see a squirrel scratching itself, or a bike that looks like it's got ears 'cos of how it has fallen over.

I have a few ideas for this blog (not that anyopne will read it!), but I think it will be an amalgam of a plethora of things that happen to fire my synapses. You can be sure there'll always be mentions of good vegan scrumminess though. my ideas for the next few posts, when I have time, are:
Favourite films;
Favourite music;
Interesting places I like to visit;
My locality and what I think of it;
My history, in about, ooh, 157 parts.

Anyway, that's me for now.

So bye-bye. I have to go wake Jo up because she's snoozing on the couch and needs to be in proper bed. Night!
