I have a question....what do you do when you love someone so much it hurts, but they don't love you back? Do you gather up what dignity you have left and move on? Or do you realise that this person is so special that you just can't pass them by, and simply have them as a friend, even though you find it impossible to shake of the fact that you completely adore them? If only feelings were easy huh. If only it was just a black or white answer. A simple yes or no. Instead I feel like I am l...
When you are a sports fan, you get passionate about your team. You follow your team. You cheer when they win. You cry when they lose. That's the way it goes. My chosen sport, football (soccer) is the working class game. Men go on a weekend to watch their team. They have worked hard all week, and any frustration, annoyance, they can get rid of whilst they cheer for their team, and inject all their passion in the game. Of course that was before the game became about money, now they are...
I was watching a tv show a few days ago, and there was a couple on it, that were claiming that social services had wrongly taken their children from them. Now I don't know if in their case that's right or wrong, but I'm sure that it must happen in some cases where these things happen, and people are accused of things, and they aren't correct. I've seen people get accused of child abuse, or of having indecent pictures of children, or whatever, and they are cleared of all charges. Yet that s...
According to the experts, there is a science to love. Who knew? I came across an article that gave you 10 crazy facts about love...I am now going to share these facts with you JU...I know, you're lucky, hehe..... 1. It’s like looking in a mirror! This one is pretty simple really, we like people that look like ourselves. A study was done with 200 participants, and they were asked to view digitally altered human faces. We like the features we are most familiar with, whether that be...
There are times when I feel like a little girl, who hasn't really grown up yet. I just want to jump around like a mad woman, and have fun. Especially when I'm in the company of my little niece. A two year old is a good excuse for an adult to behave like a big kid. Then there are other times when I feel like a young woman (which is good, as that's what I am) but even then, part of me feels like I'm faking it. I mean, I am capable. I'm not stupid, I have sense. It just feels good somet...
I studied media at college. I have to admit that out of the subjects I did, that was the one that got my attention the most (I also did psychology, and sociology, though the less said about them, the better). There was something about the media, that I just loved. I was also astonished at just how much power the media exercised over us mere mortals. Before embarking on my media course, everything I saw on the news, or I saw in a newspaper I believed. It's got to be true right? I mean th...
I think I have grown out of the stage of my life where I really find celebrities attractive, or more to the point have crushes on them. In my younger years it was Mark Owen in Take That, and then we moved on to Nick Carter....that one I am ashamed of now, becuase I see him and I think what a moron. Then there was Joshua Jackson.....I still have quite a thing for him on the sly, hehe!! Anyway, as I have got older my attraction has taken a slightly different route. I am more attracted now ...
Be nice to your siblings; they are your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. - Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen) Baz Lurhman I was brought up to believe that family came first. No matter what. Your family come first. This is true, your family will be there, always. Basically, because they don't have a choice. There will be friends, that you gorw so close to that they also become like family. There is nothing like blood though, to dema...
I honestly don't know how I would cope without google. Everytime I think of a question that I would like an answer to, I simply type my question into google, and BAM! There isn't just one answer, there is millions of answers, millions of perspectives, and insight into millions of different peoples minds on my chosesn subject within seconds. How do you beat that? I don't think that you can. So my chosen topic today for google, was, blogging. You see I have been at JoeUser for about two y...
I've watched a ridiculous amount of television today. Old shows from years ago. One of them was the show 'Mad about you' with Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser. I do remember watching that years ago, but it has been a while. Anyway there was a discussion in the show about attractive cartoon characters. The winner was Betty from the flinstones. Ha, so this is attractive? There was another option...... I wonder why that one is huh! So JU, I what are your favourite cartoon char...
So I was watching the news this evening, catching up with what is going on in the world, and the headlines today were the news of a pregnant 63-year-old woman. After recieving IVF treatment, she and her 61-year-old husband are looking forward to the birth of their fourth child. She is seven months pregnant, so not long to wait! I can't help but think that this is completely unfair to the child, and they are not considering just how challenging it will be for them physically. Children ar...
Sometimes it shocks me to get a kick to the teeth and an instant reminder that the world we live in, just isn't a nice place. I'm not ignorant, and I know there are evil people out there, but when you aren't faced with it on a daily basis you do get a certain level of ignorance surrounding you regarding the evil that some people practice. Maybe the words I am using are to strong, and people reading this will have to forgive me. As I am not American I am not always aware of the news and the...
I'm such a chick. Honestly I am a complete sucker for a good old fashioned love story. I'm not huge on my friends telling me about the unmentionable things they have done to a guy whos name they don't remember. That tends to not sit right with me, but when I hear a story of someone falling in love and they tell you how it grew over time, and now they feel that person is part of them. I'm a sucker. There's just something about that feeling, and hearing someone that has fell in love, it me...
I am a Daddies girl. There is no getting away from it. My Dad is a little out numbered in our family. Considering he had three daughters. Which I think has made him more aware of womens needs than he would actually like to be. He has had to put up with 'womens problems', hormones, boyfriends, hating boyfriends, and all other things that makes my Dad turn pale. My Dad gets through it by pretending he doesn't have a clue what's going on and just burying his head in the sand, and coming up...
I have my faults. There is no doubt about that at all. I have opinions, and things that I believe in that other people would have a problem with. I am always willing to listen though. If people have a decent argument to put forward I will take it on board. I guess that's what this blog is about. I haven't fully made my mind up about the topic of this blog. So I am looking for other points of view. I don't have alot of patience. I have less patience for really stupid people. I know t...
