I remember my birthday from last year well. I was in Cyprus on holiday with family and friends, it was a great time. A time I won't forget. Just over a week later I flew home, on July 7th. I flew in really early in the morning, and was really tired, so I got home, and slept. Until about 2pm. When I woke up, I put the news on, and there it was all over the news. Devastation. That is what people had wanted to cause, and by god had they succeeded. Terrified, innocent people, just going ...

Smile! That is the title of Lily Allen's song, and boy does she make you want to do that. This is yet another talent who has become popular due to a great deal of self promotion on MySpace. I first heard her song, and instantly liked it. I then went and got her album, wondering if she was just a one hit wonder...and what I found was an extremely fun, light hearted, witty album. I have to say I am a fan! I think there is another reason I like this chick. She is quite feisty. I spent ...

So I had to do it, I had to check out what the deal with MySpace was. So I went for a look.....I even created a profile (call it a scientific experiment) and my conclusion....well a fair summary would be that said profile is now deleted, and I will not be returning to that website. MySpace doesn't seem to be a good name for it....collectafriend.com is much better. Now I know alot of people have already given MySpace a good slating, so I'll try and keep this as constructive as possible. Wh...

I have the ability to get along with people of any age. I don't find it difficult to make conversation with someone who is alot older than me, in fact in many ways I find it far more interesting. I enjoy good thoughtful conversations, about real issues. Now there is a pub that my friends and I go to, on quite a regular basis. This pub is quite youth based, though there is a variety of people that go in. I know alot of my friends would never dream of having a conversation with the older p...

Love is all about balance. Getting things just right. Give and take between two people. Balance of trust. Balance of physical attraction. Just an all round good feel. I was talking to my friends bf today. Nice boy. The word 'boy' is key here. I actually like him. I think he cares about my friend, and has genuine good intentions towards her. For that, in my book he is a good guy. However, I am guilty of sometimes pushing my opinions down other peoples throats, and just jumping all ...

I love football. There is just no getting away from it. It's in my blood. I have alot of friends who just don't understand my love of the game. I can't even put it into words. You either get it or you don't. When England got knocked out of the World Cup yesterday, I was heartbroken. Completely. It's penalties, they leave me feeling terrible. Now everytime the World Cup starts, I always know that england aren't that great. My head tells me that, I see how they play, I see them in com...

I know I blog about love related issues alot....that is maybe because the topic bugs me a little, and it is a concept I just can't grasp. Maybe that's just because I am still searching for it, and therefore it is still a complete mystery to me. My question today is.....how do you know when you have found the 'one' and is there indeed just a 'one' or is there a few? I think my problem lies with trusting people. It is something I struggle with on a daily basis. When people are nice to me, ...

I sometimes think I should pay JU for therapy. When I want to write, when I want to vent, when I want to share something, I come here, and out it all comes. In person I am pretty much the same. I have a very tough time keeping my emotions to myself. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I hope that people appreciate that they at least get honesty from me, even if they don't always agree with what I have to say. I like people to be real. I also love the feedback I get from here. From people...

David Beckham returned to Manchester recently. I think it was for the England game. He decided to do a spot of shopping in the town Centre, and got completely mobbed. Nothing new there. He had a hat on, and someone stole it. The next day on the front page of the local newspaper was the girl who had 'stole' this hat. Looking extremely proud of herself. She told how she had took his hat, and pinched his bum. She then said how she was going to sell the hat. That newspaper recieved hundr...

This just really amused me, and I had to share. I'll just give you the short version of this story, and then you can look at the link. A guy sold a broken laptop on ebay. The person who bought the laptop managed to fix it, and in the process managed to get hold of alot of personal pictures and information that this guy had on it. He then set up a webpage all about it..... Link

Sometimes I just don't understand my generation. Maybe that's because I'm really a 62 year old, stuck in a 22 year olds body. Maybe it is the people that I associate with. I don't know. I'm at a loss though, I really am. I'm not sure if it's just me or not, so let me share with you..... My friend went on a date. Now for starters my friend doesn't really do dates. She's more of buy me a few drinks and take me home kind of girl. As are, alot of people I know. They seem to miss out o...

I'm talentless. This isn't me looking for a pity vote, or feeling sorry for myself. This my friends is a harsh reality. There is nothing I shine at. There is nothing I have a natural ability in. That I can see myself doing, and I know that I'm good at it. I'm decidedly average at most things, and really bad at a few. You would think that there was at least one thing I was good at, or one thing that I showed natural ability in, but there really isn't. I do consider myself to be average...

I have come to a conclusion about myself. It's about me and men. I think I like the kind of bloke that's going to hit me over the head, throw me over his shoulder and take me back to his cave. Where he will then grunt at me, while I look after him, and take care of his every need. Grrr! The thing is, I don't like pretty boys. You know the kind of bloke I'm talking about. The one that spends longer in the bathroom than you do. The kind that dresses better than you do. The type that ha...

I'm not a girly girl. I'm not to fussed if more than one hair is out of place. I don't burst into flames if someone sees me without make-up on. My world doesn' come crumbling to a horrible end if my outfit doesn't exactly match. All these things just don't bother me. I like to look nice, and I like to feel good, I just don't put a great importance on these things. I have friends who spend hours in the mirror making themselves look good by caking make-up on, and doing their hair. To be ...

I think one of the main reasons I enjoy blogging so much is because it is a way me to vent all the thoughts and opinions that swim through my head, and allows me to make some kind of sense them, and touch other people in some small way. When I'm writing I don't really struggle for words. They just seem to flow. I sit here and basically just type as I think, and it all flows out quite nicely. I think I manage to mostly get across what I am thinking that is understandable to others. From a...
