Of songs and snapshots

heloooo and welcome to another blog.
Drums fingers on the computer table....
I'm spending allot of time in front of the computer lately. Deep in the middle of essay land, so I decided to take a break from typing to do some typing. Hell later on I might do some writing ¬¬
The hand in date for the essays is the 28th, then on the 30th I've got an exam. Then two more exams and then 2nd year is over.
I literally can't believe 2nd year has finished. This year has been...interesting. Some things happened that I just didn't expect and took me a while to get through. Another birthday came and went and my Dundee birthdays have always been awesome so that's good. There are still some things hanging over my head, finding a new flat and revising for exams are the two main things. I also found myself so broke in February that I had to put myself on rations. However it showed me that I actually don't need to eat as much as I thought I did so that's good to know should I ever find myself in some kind of war situation. Something tells me I wouldn't be needed much at the front line...Heh can you imagine? I'd be guy who fumbled the grenade and blew himself up two weeks out of boot-camp.

So there are two P!nk song in my life right now and if you haven't already I urge you to go check 'em out.  They are "Rise your glass" which is just awesome and one song that is guaranteed to get you in a party mood and "Fucking perfect" which ...well it just speaks to me. There is one line in particular which just gets me every time.

" You're so mean, when you talk to yourself, you are wrong. Change the voices in you're head, make them like you instead"

Im sure we all have a small voice in you're head that doesn't like...well....anything about you that you give almost anything to silence. The thought has never occurred to me to try and get my voice on my side instead.

So facebook is doing this strange thing at the moment for me. Sometimes when Im on someone else's page it has, on the right hand side, memorable  status updates from the past. I've looked and I cant find any way of accessing my own updates in this way.  Ive been looking at some one them, some are funny, some sad and some have a lump in your throat pathos because the people who posted those updates are eather no longer the same person or you know that say three weeks after posting such a happy update it all went to hell for them. Its a strange verbal snapshot into lives from years ago that are unique to us. There is no way, unless you keep a diary ( and frankly when have you EVER shown anyone your diary),  for people who dont have facebook to know just what was on their mind 2 years ago on a certain day. Its quite sweet really

Well Im off... TO THE COMPUTER!!!!!....ah fuck

Women

HIYA!!
So ( insert standard apology for not doing this in ages here)

N.B, I'm going to mention some names here, if the people who's names are mentioned ever read this......meh its my blog and you know id never slag you off or hurt your feelings on purpose.
Women. Where would we be without women? The old saying goes "women, cant live with them cant live without them"
this is true to an extent. I was in a relationship for a long time and I came away with a few strong opinions towards women, however this was not the first impressions of women i ever got. The first woman I ever knew was a girl called Maureen. She was my classmate when I was 4 till I left that school at 11. Now She was a girl who would not heasatate to kick your ass if you said something that she didn't like. When the occasion called for it she would eve inter-seed sometimes when she felt the bulling i received got too much. She taught me that girls are the same as boys except they can kick harder. Even at the age of 5 i knew I had stumbled upon some rare knowledge.
Then there was Flora. She was a girl I knew in high school and had a certain "Sod you" attitude that i appreciated since I have a desperate need for everyone to like me and so i tend to turn the other cheek more than is healthy. She taught me that you don't need to be accepted to be happy, and that in doing so , you become happy because you are being true to yourself.
When I went to college I met a woman called Karin and we dated for ten years. Karin was a very special mix of vunability underneath a layer of solid rock. She would do anything for you, go out of her way to help. But cross her and she would fry you alive with her laser vision. She was awesome. She taught me that if you have the love of someone like that you were untouchable.
So you see my life has been populated by strong women who fight for what they beleave in. some for love, others for friendship and some still who fight just cause they enjoy it. The point is that I have been shaped by these people and made me the man I am today because of their attitudes.
Today I am surrounded by many women( you know who you are) who wont take you shit. i in fact seem to attract these people to my life, I have no time for the " I broke a nail, carry me to the car these are $550 shoes" crowd. For me a woman is strong, independent, wont take your shit but will help you when you need it and give you a skelp round the lug when you need that too.
In closing, I humbly suggest you turn to whatever strong woman is in your life and think how lucky you are to have someone who wont bullshit you. And if its the woman who shares you bed?? Even better
