Soooo the other day the internet went down.
It was down for less than 24 hours. And I was completely lost. At first I felt mild irritation, then a slight but rising panic. What was I going to do? Read a book? I've read them all. Write something? I wouldn't be able to look things up. Go to the gym........
Moving on! Point is I dont consider.....Oh yeah and my fuckin kindle lost battery and went dead so I couldnt even read anything.....anyway point is I don't consider myself to be particularly technology dependent. I hate technology, xboxe's red ring around me, watches stop, another thing, mobile phones freeze and so on.
So at first I was confused but then I realised its not technology, its the internet.
Have I said Hi yet? I normally say hi first....Hrrmm, no i didnt. So uh....Hi :)
What was I talki...oh thats right.
Think about it, every interest u have is stored there.
Like to read? Amazon.com for books electronic or otherwise and wiki for other stuff search related.
Watch movies? yeah dont get me started
And of course there is what the internet is REALLY famous for, yep u guessed it
Cat vidoes.
More than half our lives take place now , bloggs, tweets, fb, on and on. And what do with this wonderful box of tricks?
Hur hur hur, look a picture of a kitty wearing a hat, its thinks its people, dawwwww
Cough...anyway,
Ach im not moralizing im the worst of the bunch, it just think that perhaps once in a while we should get out and spend some time with the three dimensional people.
There is far too much to take in here, more to do that can ever be done........no wait, thats the lion king.
Did you SEE that they added another song to the lion king???!!?!! I mean what the hell man?
You cant go back in time and change things like that. Its simply unnaceptable.
Time can be re-written, but not those times. not.one.word.
I fear ive gotten off topic...
Nevertheless, Disney get it sorted

It's a sunscreen thing
Hi,
You've heard the song sunscreen no doubt? Oh yeah you have its the one that's all meaningful and stuff and makes you cry...well some people obviously not me cos im a manly man who owns tools and stuff...grrrr.
Anyway, you'll know the one I mean.
It has always read like a list of things you'd like to say to your kid on his wedding day or something. You know, this is everything i've learned so far do with it what you will
Well this is everything ive learned so far...
Ladies and gentlemen of the year 2012... I will dispense this advice....now
Laugh, especially when you don't feel like it, you'd be surprised just how a good laugh can get you through. Look at yourself, a picture from say 5 years ago. thats what you will look like to yourself 5 years in the future, ie. wow i looked really good then...
Watch, read, listen to what you like, as long as you like it. Ignore people who tell you that disagree or says its rubbish.
Dance like no-one is watching especially when people are.
Time moves quickly so you cant waste it on people who dont deserve it. Breaking up with a friend who is no longer a friend is hard but has to be done.
Excersise.
comfort food is so called for a reason be it a cheeseburger, a big bowl of mushroom soup or a chocolate bar, its there to make you feel better, dont mix guilt into it when your eating it. Your ruining ur own pleasure.
Dont feel bad if you dont know where your going. even if your 20, 30 , 40. if you skip to the end, you will get your wish and learn nothing.
be the person you want to be, not the one you think you should be. If your an asshole, i cant help you.
travel, learn and if it all goes wrong shrug and say " theres always next time"
a good cry is natural and can get you through the next day.
Once in a while, look around at your table of friends, with their daft humour, the way she laughs and the way he always scratches his head when he's trying to think and hold onto that moment in your mind. That way you can look back and think " I too was loved"
But trust me on the dancing

It's a budget thing
HI!, As I was eating a pie sandwich the other day and wondering why I don't loose more weight I go on the subject of food.
Specifically how when students like myself get to end of our month, student month starts on the 7th deal with it, we start having to cut corners on our food budgets. I mean sure when you get payed to begin with you do crazy shit like get the burger with cheese AND bacon ( livin the dream baby) but when it gets to the ......um..the 1st?
Oh fml is it april 1st?? One of the most painfully unfunny days of the year.
Remember the spaghetti trees thing?? Sigh aaaanyway....what was I? oh yeah food
So advice on streatching your last tenner at the and of the month
1.dont buy beers
2.if you must MUST buy cheese the premier shop sells a block at the moment for £1
3. supernoodles is totally a dinner meal
4.you can put almost anything between two slices of bread and call it 'a sammich'
5.fresh fruit and veg is reasonably priced if u get it in bulk and quite filling
6.water is your friend
7.dont go to the union ( see point 1)
8.if you buy ingredients rather than ready meals you use the ingredients to make many meals.
example; onion, peppers and chicken. is like 5 meals. and will cost you about £5. where as it costs £3.99 for one ready meal and tastes like ass
9.soup is your friend
10.shop around, places like liddles sell really chepo stuff for some stuff......I still wouldnt trust the meat from there. Discounted meat fills me with terror
There are tons more but i really should be writing my story, I'll do another one at some point...prolly
P.S being drunk makes anything edible.....
Tffn, C

It's a realization thing
HI!
I consider myself a nice guy, In fact you will have heard me de-cry this more than likey
"I'm a nice guy so why......"
Ive always tried to be a nice person, tried to do the right thing in situations that call for it etc. However as I was playing battlefield 3 last night It suddenly occurred to me "Im not really nice at all"
Oh before u all go nuts let me explain.
I was overaggressive, sarcastic, passive agressive, winey, childish , hot tempered. The list goes on. What im tring to say is that its easy to abstain from sweets when its not raining candy.
Im nice when things are fine but the minute I got into a stressful situation, ie, playing this game it turned into a brat.
So what the hell? Ive spent my whole life watching what i say and tring to keep my temper in check and ive failed? How much do i have to do? At what point do u get to say " im a good person now" Sheesh
In other news the weather here has been fantastic recently. I think its true that when you have bad times the good ones are so much sweeter and thats certainly true for the scots and the sun. We dont get enough of it, in fact we have all sorts of brittle bones etc problems as we really dont have enough vitamin D in our diet.
Ever had a craving for something out of no-where. Like bananananas? or cheeseburgers......yeah thats prolly not one, i just love cheeseburgers.......wait here one sec i have to get something real quick.
ok im back....what the hell was i talk...wait i remember, yeah ,
Suddenly you just want one. Well thats ur body craving whatever vitamin or minerals can be found in that food. ( incase ur wondering the vitamin in cheeseburgers is CH3-BR3) Well its the same with sunlight, scots just dont get enough, and so when it comes we strip off and run towards the nearest patch of green stuff.
So there you go. Scots.. we dont have enough sun: the more you know

It's a study thing
Hi :)
So how do you study? Not as an easy to answer question as it sounds.
Everyone does it differantly, Some need silence, others need people round them. Others still can only study at him with the door shut and ac/dc blasting.
To each thier own. Its actually comparable to asking someone how they read, or for that matter who they write.
Im very specific. When I study/write essays I have to be in the library. There are far too many distractions at home. Books I could read, games I could play. Then of course there is the mother of all time wasters the internet.
When I write stories however I cant be disturbed and if you want to know badly I take it when someone tries to talk to me when I'm writing ask this guys liver since its the only part of him that survived
Plus you know what guys do when left on their own for any amount of time, that's right you guessed it, play call of Duty. So the house ( for studying in any case) is a no go.
I think I like the library so much because it has the whiff of academia plus you get to socialize . I tried the union but its too balanced on the socialistic scale coupled with the fact if you can smell beer you cant study , SCIENCE.
And the books are ready to hand as is the water machine which keeps me going in the same way that computers need electricity, some women need shoes, some guys need football and everyone needs clarkies pie shop.
Oh also if I spend too much time on my own I get....weird. Like locked into my own head, trapped in a constant cycle of my own thoughts, caged within.......whoa, it nearly happened there.
So asking someone is like asking someone how do you eat eggs? Scrambled, boiled , fried, poached, battered? It doesn't matter because in the end. You get to eat an egg.
You'd think I'd have a point to all this so you're clearly new here

Its tipsy thing
Hullo :). Since I didnt want to do a drunk blog Alison suggested I do a typsy once instead. So here we go, three beers in.
Thoughts so far....Im hungry. I want to go dancing
Right thats, that out of my system.
Now if ur reading this you are prolly hungover since it will be sunday, and u went to paddies day. I hope you had fun, drunk something green, and woke up wearing an amusing hat.
I have often wondered why we dont celebrate st andrews day like we do st paddy. Perhaps, green just goes with everything, perhaps it falls on an awkward day every year or perhaps we all might die.
Think about it, nothing is more dangerous than a drunk scot who is a) drunk b) feelin patriotic.
The ones that didnt die of violence on the day would die the next of alchol poisoning.
And that would be the end of scotland. No more haggis :(. No more wisky :O no more 4 differant types of weather in the space of five minutes, no more days when its warm but a cold breeze blows in, just for a second, with a hint of the sea.
It would be aweful.
SO for the sake of everyone, no st andrews day.
Aye so your prolly hungover and reading this with one eye open and a bacon sammich in one hand (or grilled avacado for any veggies/vegans in the audience) and a biiiiiiiig glass of water in the other.......Actually mate your hand is shaking, u better put that water in a bottle with a screw on top since ur next to ur laptop. On you go we'll wait.........
Cool, i feel better now.
So to sign off last year i wrote a silly poem in a few minutes about paddies day, so ill do the same again this year.
You drank mighty and you drunk fine,
You spewed green in the gutter,
'heh look guys threw up a lime',
U danced on the bar and behaved like a nutter
Now the green is on your gills,
your head pounds and you gut swells,
'never again' you promise yourself
as you chuck booze away you found on the shelf
But then, something stirs, like a caged mountain lion
It calls to you, with the voice of a siren
You cant resist,you run at a sprint
Its tuesday now, time for SKINT
ttfn :)

Its a new thing
Welcome to 2012 everyone :)
(its march i know....shut up)
For some reason, im not going to question it, I have 42 views today. This has inspired me to write some nonsense.
I'm coming to the end of third year now and its forcing me to ask the big questions. What am i going to do after uni? What will my life be once this whole crazy ride is over? Just how will one tree hill end?
The fact is I dont know. The reason I dont know is because im scared
Scared to think of my life once uni is over. Im happy, happy for the first time in....Well. A long time.
i dont want it to end, any of it. Lunches in the library, Skint nights out, having a large group of friends to call on, having close friends, who i just sit and watch the telly with and be content, doing something that i love, fuck even writing essays.
Is it just because I was never keen on the whole real world thing? Of growing up?
Its possible.
i find it more likely that im just happy and I dont want it to end. Its a special kind of torment for students you know, to realize your life as it is has a defiate ending.
However
and this is a big one
I changed my life, radically, I moved cities, left every mate I had, my support structure. BUT it was a good decision. The best one ive made. The beauty of change is that if it happens it can lead onto something even better. If it doesnt?? CHANGE IT! simple as. Life is too short to stay in a situation ur miserable in.
And I know what your saying, Its not always as easy as that. But it doesnt have to be an over night thing. Even changing something small can be so good for u.
Anyway, this is all old stuff. Things im almost sure ive said before and here I am prattling on about doing something new.
So here it is, something new. When this essay is done im going to start sending off stuff to publishers again.
A writer once said " I want to fly! to soar near the clouds" and his wife replyed "first finish your eggs"
Well ive finished my eggs. :D
ttfn, new blogs comin
