I read this the other day and found it really inspiring... worth a share, I think, and worth reading whether you're Christian or not.

Dear Little Brother,
You’re officially making me feel old. You’re not a high school kid anymore. You’re a young man with a wide-open future to claim.
I remember facing that same future and standing on that same brink. ( Read more... )

I really wish I could get my life sorted out so that I can stay maybe for an hour after closing the shop, and then be able to relax for the rest of the evening without worrying about too many things. Instead, I stay late most of the evening and then when I finally get home, I have to face emailing orders, doing paperwork, or just thinking about ( Read more... )

Going to scream. I went totally out of my way* to book a two-day delivery for something on Thursday and the customer needs it tomorrow. Just found out it hasn't even been COLLECTED yet so I've had a massive, *massive* go at the courier who have basically said the best they can do is get it here for Thursday (thereby cancelling a big charity project ( Read more... )

She was born at 6am on New Year's Day,
In an alley right at the heart of where the homeless children play,
And the truth is that we will never even know her name,

I'm not convinced Misfits series 4 will work, but I think I'll watch it anyway just because Seth is rather hot ( Read more... )

I don't think there is actually a way to describe how much love I have for Marianas Trench.

More of that to come later, I'm sure. I've been really struggling to deal with the past week but every time I try to get it off my chest, I feel like I am coming across like more ( Read more... )

Yet again I've been delving into the depths of depression and I sometimes sit back and can't believe how much I'm letting everything around me affect me. I have never been like this before, and what's worse is that nothing devastating has even been happening. Trading standards, fire inspections, threats to close me down, sue threats... sure, I got ( Read more... )

Facebook is actually doing my head in. The new layout is completely unnecessary. It's messy, cluttered, over-complicated, and I love this new feature where EVERYTHING YOU LIKE AND COMMENT ON IS BROADCAST TO THE WORLD. I'm so happy that my 390+ friends know that I like the status of a friend they've never heard of, therefore breaching THEIR privacy ( Read more... )

Today, I haven't gone outside for the first time in about two years. I've got my lazy bottoms on and I have literally done nothing. I probably should have gone to the dentist and done some banking and done this, that and the other, but it is the first CHANCE in two years that I've had to do nothing.

It's kind of made me think about what my life has ( Read more... )
