Life is a strange beasty. It throws at you things which can make you feel confident one minute, then like shite the next. Today, in my last day helping out my bro's workplace, someone there said something like "are you going to enjoy the rest of your school holidays?" Now i'm 23, taller than my older brother and from what i can tell, not at all ( Read more... )

There i am, chatting to someone at my bro's workplace (am helping them out for a few days, gawd my back and feet hurt) and as we're talking about how i wasn't able to get a placement i realise something. It was probably down to my own pessimism. In all my applications and CV's i put my predicted grade as 2:1. I always expected that and i realised ( Read more... )

I got squirted by a girl with a supersoaker earlier today as i was going to pick up my mum. It took me back to the day i was working late at safeway, pushing trolleys. Some blokes decided to drive past me and squirt me with one of them soakers. I showed my pissed offness at them and they shouted at me. Today though i didn't really mind. Sure i don' ( Read more... )

Houston we have a problem. After a promosing comic adaption in Batman Begins and the general pretty good-ness of Spider-man, we get a new Superman film. Now im all for keeping to a set idea to ensure a film's success, but superman returns took the wee. Seriously, so Supes crashes his ship onto the kent family farm (okay, in the first film it was ( Read more... )

It is too hot today. I was actually dripping with sweat for the first time in many years. Got my hair cut today and it was a bit rubbish. He left some of my hair uncut which i only noticed when i got home, and he didn't get my sideburns straight. A waste of money. I used to get my hair cut for £6 down greenwich and it all looked fine. How hard can ( Read more... )

The world is a fucked up place right now. I haven't really mentioned this stuff or much of anything lately, but i have been thinking a few things. Firstly, would those iraqis who have died since the war in iraq officially ended be alive under Hussein's rule? It's possible but then again that doesn't mean he wouldn't have killed some people anyway. ( Read more... )

Meh, ignore my last post. I was just getting a bit ranty about stuff that really doesn't matter. It's weird though, a forum i visit had s few people arguing after someone said something like "anyone who cried after the Dr Who ending was a pansy." It make me think though that the whole thing about this series is about how it gets people to react. It ( Read more... )

I came to a shocking realisation today. Not at all similar to last weeks shocking realisations (the other day i was on the 2nd hand end of some smoker's smoke and felt all icky. Yay!), today's realisation was that i don't like Doctor Who. Now it may not seem all that important to anyone else, and normally not really that important to me especially ( Read more... )

As i was getting off to sleep last night i remembered why i never had a cigarette at college, i was scared about what might happen if i liked my first one. My brother had said no one likes their first cigarette, but i didn't really trust him. I'm kinda proved right by seeing last nights program anyway, but yeah, i just didn't want to get hooked ( Read more... )
