Home-Town Soul - A Reflection on Being Creative! by John H Shelton

FORWARD I hate Ignorance for no reason. Come on, it’s a bit silly now that you would do this after you came to me? Ah, Social Media... The Devil's Work! Maybe it was my tiny breakdown? Was it something I said? Sod it, it doesn’t matter, now. What’s done is done, but it still stings when you’ve done nothing wrong. Anyway, life is very short. This year we lost Ozzy (Osbourne) and in recent years a lot of people we came to love and respect. It feels like a huge competition sometimes in the film scene. People fighting for that number one spot of fame and fortune and a special friendship circle. This is nothing new to me if I'm honest. I love being creative and always have been since primary school. In school, I used to write stories about far out people and scenarios where class friends and teachers wanted more of the adventure or intriguing story with pictures drawn by myself. There was surely a spark of madness or genius way back then in class. As we get older, we sometimes lose ...

I Won "Best Documentary" Award at The Kaiju Film Festival 2022!

In 2022, I managed to win a small statue award for a Godzilla-Related Documentary I created in 2017 with friends. It was called "For The Love of Godzilla". Ever since then and in 2023, I extended the Documentry Film and it can be seen on my YouTube Channel. The film is dedicated to Haruo Nakajima who passed away in 2017. He was the original Godzilla Suit Actor at Toho Studios.

Bad Dreams: A Nightmare on Shelton Street!

I've been having tense dreams and nightmares. Last week was awful. They were something out of a horror film and it could be linked to my Anxiety and recent Chronic Stress. The advice I was given is to keep going and stay in Activities such as Swimming, even if it's a session or two. The main thing to do when you wake up and stress is to try and stay calm. Talk about the nightmares or bad or even lucid dreams. Caffeine could be linked to the anxiety and sleep pattern of the brain 🧠 trying to make sense of the negative thinking which might trigger the bad dreams at night. Also talk to a health professional or a friend or person you trust about the stress of nightmares if they continue. With that said, I am currently drinking a decaffeinated coffee drink ☕  Have a great day and stay safe and warm this autumn 🍂 🍁  Check Out my Previous Post on ANXIETY !

Happy Autumn 2025

  Happy Autumn 2025 and it's that time of the year where the leaves turn brown, the nights are drawing in and soon it'll be time to turn the clocks back. Autumn is here, and so is Halloween. Cosy nights and seasonal changes. A lot of people embrace Autumn with walks and Halloween Celebrations. Whatever you are doing this Autumn, stay safe and warm and embrace it if you can. Plan breaks, holidays and celebrations with friends and enjoy it the best you can this year! I've been trying to take Autumnal Walks in fresh air, grab a hot drink or two cos it feels a bit like hibernation for some people. Stay Safe & Healthy and Warm. Kindest Autumn Regards... Happy Autumn 2025.

ANXIETY... STRIKES BACK!

 It seems easier and more common to get Anxiety or Anxious these days of society feeling that way internally. My anxiety has lasted for weeks again, now. I get anxious in town and in the mornings. Every time I try to push through it, I end up stopping at every nearby cafe for a Coffee or Tea! It leads to a vicious cycle where I repeat these paterns and almost do it for the sake of it and not settle too much! This kinda behaviour isn't always healthy so some people will either eat, drink or look for another hit of some sort. It's quite compulsive and I never seem to relax or stay in one place for longer than about 5 minutes at a time, or even less? I am writing this out to an audience who might be able to relate or understand the crippling effects of Anxiety, maybe OCD? I'm not a Doctor or GP, so I can't give the proper answers at this time. Swimming helps to take the boredom away. I go 2-3 times a week usually and it's a social thing, too. Exercise can help with my ...

My Home Town - A Poem by John H Shelton

See the sunshine shining. Feel my blood and temperature rising. See the gangs get rowdy and start a fight. Bikes and cars are speeding Down a busy highway Never want to see the light Through curtains as I lie awake at night. In these times of chaos Chaos comes at a price of fun It's a bit of fun until the passion dies. Roll up, roll up, see the tension falling. As I leave this town crawling behind. To a new beginning. Get on a train and never look behind. When all is said and done We've all had some fun. Look after yourself and be careful not to let your spark die. Keep in mind your existence. We only get one chance at life. Just stop living on the edge of a knife.

Psychosis in Lockdown - A Poem by John H Shelton (from Lockdown 2020)

Round and round we go. Walking in ruthless circles. Music banging loudly through my ears🎵🎶 Round and round we go, again. Not knowing what to do. Sliced my hand accidentlly on glass and nearly cut my fingers... On a slippery slope of mud and mess. This year was a year of distress. This wasn't a year at my best at all. Was it really anybody's year? We all tried and got nowhere. Lost our voices and love for all things Life. However, don't worry cos there's a light 🕯️ Stopping me in my tracks. A needle, sharp as a knife. Come with us and you will see. Five weeks of pure endless Eternity. Locked doors and white coats and medication 🧥 💊 You're going be here for a while. No denial that your mind is fragile. Keep yourself going and safe. Cos at the end of the day, you're going away. Corridors of blood, fighting and hoods Poorly people that on the inside were truly good. I'm waiting to get out of this prison of insane pain. Scream all you...
