When Life Hands You Lemons...

You run that's what! How many of us stand and face the music? Only heroic people that's all and then they get famous for it! Me I much prefer to be a coward, running makes life easier to deal with. As a nation were good at running away from our problems. Some examples:

1. Credit Crunch - People are spending more!! How does this make sense?! A prime example of people running away from their problems and burying their heads in the sand.

2. The amount of people living abroad - Lets face it Britain is in recession, we either pretend its not happening or we flee without facing our nation as a loyal citizen. I know what I want to do though!! Run! Running is cowardly. Can I be one please?!

3. Police - When something goes wrong who do we blame? Not ourselves for creating a society that permits community law above actual law no not that, no its the police for letting this crime happen. We are such cowards. How can we blame them when we created this society! A materialistic society that feeds on money and stuff. A society that is confused. For example we buy something that comes off the back of a lorry and that's OK. But if we see someone jumping a barrier at the train station or getting caught for shoplifting that's stealing. How is this right? I've got news for you!! It's all stealing!!!

We are cowards and those of us that are not, well i take my hat off to you. I am a coward and as I am writing this I myself have run away from a situation that i cannot deal with. I would rather just bury my head in the sand and pretend its not happening because this is the easier option.

However to be heroic that would be a nice thing, but do I want to be discredited or accused? Being heroic means being isolated. I think its more being a martyr. And these days that's a dangerous word! Martyrs have been around for centuries. Look at Martin Luther King Jr he was a martyr, he died unfortunately for the world. He was a great man he had a plan he didn't bury his head in the sand. He stood up for what was right even though it may have been difficult and people hated him for it. He died though knowing that when life gave him lemons he took them and changed a situation for the better.

So why cant we be like that? Simple because were cowards. Who wants to be hated and made a fool of? Not me for certain. I like my life. I like being liked and staying with the "Status Quo". But then I do dream of an existence where I stand up and I am counted for what I believe in. I really hope one day people do hate me and I know that when life handed me lemons I took them and ate them, spat them up and then laughed in the face of those who would think differently.

But for now i leave you with the words of Iron Maiden - "Run to the Hills"

Just To Say....

I've been away for some time...wow when i said i'd give you suspense i really went for it! Well i am dedicating to actually write in this thing. Please stay tuned for randomness, confusion and good reading. Right well watch this space people of the blog world......that means you!

Whats up with These Jelly Beans?!

Uh............

At Last...

I am back...I have not written in my blog for an age, sorry to peeps who have been complaining! Although I do feel slightly egotistic that people have been complaining!

I have had the most delightful and painful two weeks...we will start back to front on this one.

Painful
My back!!!!! Its hurting like someone’s stabbed me a thousand times and it wont go away at all...I’ve even resulted in taking codeine (The happy pill!) but alas no improvement. So any tips please relay (I'd love you forever)...So yeah pain pain pain (just wanted to emphasise the pain) If you stab yourself in the back you could empathise....it could be fun....it could be.

Delightful
I went to see the Foo Fighters last Saturday which was amazing!! Hyde park was such a great venue and I was right at the front in the gold circle in front of 80,000 people!! Motorhead played and they rocked me more than I thought they would, they were terrific I was dancing and everything (which is something). And to top it all off at the end of the Foo's gig Brian May and Roger Taylor (Queen) came and played with the Foo's....Had to be there moment. I was standing with my mate Splem who had bright red hair which is important because he was on the screen a lot and I was next to him so I was too...that was cool. Splem thank you because if it wasn't for your arm i think i may have been pushed so much I would have ended up in a different country.

Then on last Wed i was in Hyde Park again for the O2 gig watching Belle and Sebastian, The Raconteurs and the Strokes...and I had VIP Passes. Free food, drinks the works. They had a sushi bar, an ice cream bar, a noodle bar, the nicest seats and they even set up a BBQ for us...I went with my friend Kevin - We proper abused the free drinks part! The highlight was deffers The Strokes they were so good we danced and sang and jumped. All round fun....

So there you go....Remember empathy is good, so if you wanna just grab that knife.

Feeder and Goldie Looking Chain

Well went to Hammersmith last night for the long awaited Feeder Gig. It was so amazing I have to blog and get all my excitement out! GLC came out first and sang (well maybe not singing) some quality tunage....with the likes of "Half Man Half Machine" and "The Maggot", if you don't like GLC as much as me then you may think me a bit sad right now but they make me laugh my bum off. Then Feeder came out and just blew me away, I already think they sound beautiful but hearing them live was just unreal. I'm quite passionate about music I have to admit and they were awesome. Ahhhh wow I love birthday presents (the ticket was a pressie). Anyways I had an amazing time and to top it off got the Foo Fighters coming up next and a study day at uni so no trekking in early in the morning.

Well have a great weekend, See you all soon people

College Dropout?

Well I was thinking today how I receive information at college and how cynical I can be. How instead of trying to listen, a lot of the time I sit on my laptop talking to people telling them how bored I am. I think this is purely due to the fact that I don’t listen most the time. I am finding that my essay grades are fine so I am not motivating myself to do better than that. The sad fact is that if I actually tried it could not just be fine but great....is this the norm? In twenty years time looking back am I going to be saying yeah I tried but I could have done better? I bloody hope not! Sorry everyone I realise this is a bit melodramatic.
I have just been thinking a lot about everyone else and how there motivation inspires me lately. My uni class are amazing; if you’re reading this you truly are great. I don't actually think id be this far along if it wasn't for their support so shout out to you!

(Bit random but blogs are for head diarrhoea aren’t they?)

Snowboarding Lessons....

Well as a result of speaking to my friend last night who is an avid snowboarder, she has persuaded me to go boarding later this year. There is but one problem.....I cant Snowboard! So I am going to be taking lessons. There lies another problem the only place I can find is in Milton Keynes....which isn’t exactly on my doorstep and being as a group lesson for an hour is £30 and then paying for the train it mounts up a lot. I could pay about £200 to learn in a day....freaking eh why is snowboarding so expensive lol. Not really a student sport. Oh well when i have learned ill be able to get right onto the snow and impress my friends who think I have no balance! I do think it will be awesome ive been skiing before but ive never been snowboarding so im sure it will be an amazing experience, which ill enjoy i just hope i dont end up injuring myself.....

A Collision with confusion on the subject: Men

And Men well Men confusing little tykes! Men, if you don’t have a girlfriend do something nice for a friend in your life, buy her some flowers.…I was reading my friend Sarah’s blog and she summed it up “Where have all the good men gone?”. Where? I mean if there are any good ones left please show yourself back into society....come out and open a door for me or let me get on the train first before you push me halfway back onto the platform. Dare I say treat me like a lady. I have to admit I do live in Romford which isn’t the best area to search for gentlemen believe me. But anyhow after my little rant....I’m off. Have a great week.

Bye

An Expensive Ticket & a Poetry Cafe

Friday night Splem and I were discussing the Foo Fighters Concert and whether to buy the Average tickets or the amazing gold circle tickets...well as you can probably guess we chose the decent gold area ones! Oh the excitement. They were so expensive but we both have nice families who give nice birthday presents... (Thank you to my nice sister Sarah). Anyways its on the 17th June and i cant wait...Queens of the Stone Age and Motorhead (I think) are the supporting acts so you know its gonna be brilliant. Woo Foo Fighters here I come.

Last night for the first time I went to a poetry cafe which was an experience. It was completely different to what I was expecting. I expected it to be a smoked filled dive. I was pleasantly surprised to find in fact it was quaint and lovely. Also the poets were amazing talented people who kept me engaged the whole time.
