A return to blogging? Stop the press.
I’ve decided to blog again. I’ll probably stop in a few posts time for another few months, but it passes the time for when I’m not drunk/with girlfriend.
Yes a lot of changes have happened in the past few months, I got my first A ever! I’ve gained a relationship which has been going stable now since June! And I’ve quit my band. I’m incredibly happy with things at the moment (barring not being in a band), but its cool.
Anyway back to the show.
Unless you’ve been under the rock for the past week, tonight’s Euro Millions jackpot is at £112 million, and me being a fool (well, basically me being me) I had a lucky dip, because I’m crap when it comes to picking numbers. I told my younger brother about it whilst eating dinner at the table this evening and he posed me a couple of questions, as any other 13 year old would.
“If you won, what would you do with it, and would you lend me a tenner out of it?”
So, to all of my invisible readers, what would you do if you had £112 million quid in your back pocket?
Answers on a postcard please.
Drew Barrymore blames childhood for love life…
Yes, from DigitalSpy.com
Drew Barrymore has pointed towards her unhappy childhood to explain her ill-fated love life, according to reports.
The actress has insisted that her volatile relationship with her parents John and Jaid unsettled her.
She told the Daily Express: “I have never really understood how I should feel or behave in a relationship. I didn’t have the kind of childhood that would have given me any sort of perspective on what a happy home or relationship would feel like.
“You can’t live your life blaming your failures on your parents. You’re dealt the cards you’re dealt. I realised it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself.”
She added: “I used to pull a lot of emotion from all the stuff with my family, but I have been much more objective about my childhood and my relationship with my mother in these last few years. But I won’t deny that the baggage was there at some point.”
The star was hooked on drugs by ten-years-old, and entered rehab when she was thirteen.
Well I blame you women then for why mine is so crap!
It’s not you, it’s me!
I always hate opening lines for blogs that I haven’t got a clue what I’m going to write about. I don’t know why, but I’m no good at planning. I’d rather claim myself to be a spontaneous soul (which I do claim to attract girls, which doesn’t work btw), but I’m not that risky. The biggest risk I’ve probably ever taken in my life is either having a wank with the bathroom door unlocked or eating a yoghurt that is a day out of date. Take your pick.
But has I get older, I feel that I should have taken more risks, and because 2010 is hardly in full swing, I’ve taken it upon myself to create myself a little new year resolution. Take more risks, such as:
- Wear that ugly shirt that you like
- Ask that girl out
- Have those few extra drinks
- Really, ask that girl out.
However 2010 for me is my 20th year. And already, things are going swimmingly. I have a band who is going to record and gig within the next month. Well, thats all I have going for me, but compare that to this time last year, I didn’t really have much, apart from some money, a shit job and friends. All but of one, that are not with me today (answers on a postcard please).
However, because I’m not much of a risk taker, I’ve decided that I need to change this ‘fact’ about me. Of course, being in a band like mine is brilliant, but will end up costing me money when it comes to touring, paying for a shitty van, shitty hotel rooms and what not, but you know what, it is a risk that I’d love to take, because to me, that is a life worth living.
In the past week, I watched Fight Club, brilliant fucking film it is. It has lead me to believe that, money and possession count for everything it seems, and sure, its nice to have some money in your account, but it doesn’t buy you happiness (yes, I love clichés) and my band, is what can lead me the closest to happiness.
Islamic group plans Wootton Bassett march…
Repatriation for fallen soldiers in Wooton Bassett
Despite me doing my university assignment for Communications Studies which needs to be handed in tomorrow, I was invited to join a ’cause/group’ over on Facebook. Now, since I don’t get a lot of invites to such things any more, I’d thought I’d check it out and this invite was…
“No To The Planned Islam4UK March Through Wootton Bassett“.
For those who are unfamiliar with Wooton Bassett, it is the market town where the public hold an informal mourning for the bodies of fallen British soldiers who have died in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is because of the proximity of RAF Lyneham (which is due to close in 2012 due to cutbacks). Wooton Bassett is now famous/infamous (delete where applicable) for reparations because more and more soldiers are dying (mostly due to inadequate resources, hence the closure of RAF Lyneham) and the more soldiers die, the more WB gets broadcasted on to television. Now the person who invited me to such group is my uncle. Not saying my Uncle is racist but we both come from areas which you can call BNP Strongholds. This is because people are ignorant to politics, ignorant to different cultures or ignorant to both, take a pick. No doubt that BNP supporters or racists which they will be known as throughout my blog, have in a way, hijacked the cause/group which has caused a snowball effect. However, this has attracted Sky News and when quizzed about the cause of the group, the group creator, photographer Jo Cleary, who also volunteers to run http://www.hounour-our-troops.com, had this to say.
“So I appreciate and understand the importance of the reception their children get at Wootton Bassett. I was incensed at this proposed march. They are using the soldiers’ deaths for their own agenda. They could march anywhere else across the country. The support will only snowball. We’ve been watching Sky News and have seen this lunatic (march leader Anjem Choudary). They won’t get to Wootton Bassett. We are not anti-Muslim. We are a non-political group who are opposed to this small minority of extremists…I deal daily with the relatives grieving – we’re there as a support system…” – Jo Cleary
So that came from the horse’s mouth itself, this Facebook group is non-political, yet being made political by the racists who have joined it. However, those who are reading are going to be wondering “You don’t care much for politics, so why are you writing about this?” and the answer is this:
Because if I don’t join the group, I’d be called un-patriotic and/or a “Muzzy Sympathizer” or I would be called a racist bigot, and even worse, a BNP member and for me, that is a dilema. However, Islam4UK do seem to be marching to recruit new members. Embrace Allah, but after doing a bit of research (albeit a quick piece of research), I’ve found that Islam4UK is a apart of this extremist Islamic branch, Al-Muhajiroun. Al-Muhajiroun was banned in 2005 shortly after the 7/7 London bombings which praised the bombers as “The Fantastic Four” and also the leader, Omar Bakri Mohammed delivered a lecture after 9/11 calling the terrorists “Magnificant 19”.

To conclude and finish off this darned essay, I feel that they shouldn’t be able to march on such a town like Wooton Bassett because of who they are associated with and because that significance which Wooton Bassett holds not to the United Kingdom, but to those who fight for our country and for those who have died for our country!
