Hey, sorry i'm in a bit of a rush, i havent been posting much at all recently, but BLEH :)
Just read this online, and having read each one individually, they are ALL true (at least in my eyes) So REEEEAAAAAD. and make sure you learn something from it :) Ciao
1. Guys dont actually like sluts as much as they say they do, even though they have sex with them!
(Oh yeah… you're not "popular" if you've slept with loads of guys… you're probably just a HOE)
2. "Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" are two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.
3. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
4. Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they're gonna say so there aren't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.
5. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile, it’s usually more important than the body.
6. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.
7. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're goin for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.
8. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to; if a guy knows a girl likes him but doesn’t like her… he still wants to be the only guy she talks to.
9. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.
10. Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend, unless it’s negative, then it’s cool.
11. Guys get jealous very easily, even if they don’t show it.
12. Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.
13. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!... ugh... nevermind..." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.
14. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like. If a guy seems cool around girls, just see how he acts in front of the girl he really likes.
15. Guys hate asking parents for money to buy girls presents. So they come up with ideas like saving their lunch money for a week. But it never works because guys are always hungry so they end up asking the parents for money anyway.
16. Girls are guys' weaknesses.
17. Guys are very open about themselves if you just ask.
18. It's good to test a guy first before you trust him. But don't let him wait too long.
19. Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend.
20. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice unless he asks for it.
21. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you. Poking, light pushing, blocking your way and random high 5’s are tell tell signs.
22. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.
23. Guys will brag about anything if you don’t tell them not to.
24. Guys use words like buff or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful. If a guy uses that, he likes you, if he uses it to describe other girls, he probably just wants to sound sweet in front of you, and therefore likes you.
25. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.
26. Guys love it when girls wear their clothes (jacket, hat, etc) especially if it’s a girl they like, they will often let them wear it in unreasonable circumstances…like the pouring rain.
27. Any guy could write out a rulebook or advice book for flirting, but no guy can write out a book about relationships.
28. Try to be as straightforward as possible, if you like a guy, just tell him, they’ll usually be flattered. If there is something wrong with your relationship, just tell him, if hes a nice guy he’ll do his best to fix the problem.
29. A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be mature and grown up.
30. If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.
31. No matter how much guys talk about arses and boobs, personality is key.
32. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience, your NEVER going to meet Mr. Darcy.
33. Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and being whipped.
34. If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.
35. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.
36. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and talk to me."
37. Guys don't really have final decisions.
38. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.
39. If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.
40. When a guy looks at you for longer than 3 seconds, he's definitely thinking something.
41. Guys like femininity not feebleness.
42. Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.
43. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.
44. Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.
45. Everything in moderation. Put on makeup, wear perfume. Just not too much.
46. Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.
47. Guys hate rejection, but they hate being led on even more.
48. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.
49. A guy would give his left nut to be able to read a girl's mind for a day.
50. No guy can handle all his problems by his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.
51. Not all guys are dickheads. Just because ONE is doesnt mean he represents ALL of us. Quit assuming.
52. We don't like girls who are too skinny.
53. We love it when girls talk about their boobs.
54. Always make sure you know what kind of stuff you're getting into before making out with a guy...like whether it's a one time deal or not...
55. Believe it or not shy guys are the easiest to talk to, it may not seem right but trust me they will start opening up like books after you just ask them questions about their lives and unoticabley tell them about yours.
56. When a guy hits your butt it means that he wants you sexually.
57. When a guy doesn’t touch you flirtily alot, but smiles at you a lot and makes eye contact a lot, its probably because he likes you and feels weird about touching you…but really wants to.
58. Even if they refuse it all guys are ticklish on the ribs.
59. Guys love neck rubs and if he lets you keep doing it... it means that he really likes you or his neck really hurts.
60. Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.
61. If a guy tells you to dump your boyfriend, he's being a twat, if he tells you that there is the possibility of finding someone else (HIM) if you do dump him, he probably likes you and just wants to see you happy.
62. No matter how much they complain (if they do), guys actually like it when girls lean on them.
63. Guys relate everything a lot of things to sex... a joke, a slip of the tongue, a giggle, a yawn, a stretch, whatever...its stupid but true.
64. If you add a guy on myspace or Facebook and you don't know him...chances are he'll assume its because you're attracted to him.
65. If a guy acts like a dick sometimes and doesnt trust you, it might be because he has been badly hurt in the past and is afraid to open up again.
66. Just because a guy isn't holding/kissing you, doesnt mean he doesn't want to, you might just need to initiate it.
67. All guys want to make you happy (unless they're pricks), some just don't know how...so help them out.
68. Most guys just naturally prefer a girl with a bit of curve.
69. Guys are just as self conscious and insecure as girls, ;we also fear rejection, the guy who really likes you is the one who will never dare say so.
70. Boys liked to be talked to. A guy will feel more comfortable around a girl if the girl starts talking to them.
71. The way a girl moves her body can easily be much sexier than anything she says or does.
72. Girls: when you slow down with your boyfriend, make sure you give a damn good reason or we feel like its our fault because we can't comprehend that you really just want to slow down.
73. Every guy has a 'neeky' side of him. Whether it be playin games, watching movies, or playing football, but don't make fun of him if you don't like it, unless it's something you both find funny, otherwise just try and learn to like it. Don't try to change him. If he's constantly ignoring you for that thing, tell him, he'll probably try and do it less.
74. Guys will always check out other girls, even if we make it less obvious when we're around you, it does not mean we're considering leaving you for the girl on the bus. It just comes to us without thinking, so don't freak out when a guy looks at another girl. It's just nature, and we know you were oggling at the cute guy that just walked passed. And hey, guys can have female friends just like girls can have male friends, just because he gets a text from a girl does not mean he is cheating on you. But if this does make things awkward, talk about it.
75. NEVER EVER kick a guy in the balls...seriously. Not even in a fight (play or real) or argument, you can't imagine how much that hurts (don't bring up giving birth because you know it's different). The slightest kick can often have an excruciating delayed reaction...so yeah...just don't do it...please.
76. When a guy is talkin to a girl, his gut instinct is to make her laugh. Whether he is good at this or not, he will try. As a result boys can sometimes appear immature or weird when you first meet them, but they're probably just nervous so give them time and get to know them.
77. At some point a guy will try to play fight with you. There are two reasons for this:
a) Guys like to fight and show you how strong they are.
b) It gives them an excuse to touch you.
78. It is very sexy and appealing for a girl to wear a guy's boxers and shirt. That's all. We don't know why that is, but it just is.
79. Guys dont like girls who don't make an effort. If he travels four hours just to see you for three, appreciate it and don't admit you wouldn't do the same, half the time we wouldn't expect you to anyway!
80. Guys have standards for what type of girl they want to have. Every girl is the perfect girl for somebody.
81. Guys don't like it when girls amplify things. It's very annoying.
82. Even the coolest guys, worry a lot about how they come across, they are probably trying very hard to seem so cool. So don't undermine or mock a guy you like or are friends with, he might not burst into tears but it does not do wonders for his self-esteem. And if you do take the piss, make it fairly clear your joking, it will let the guy know you dont dislike him, you have a sense of humour, and its ok for him to have a come back.
83. If a guy is completely, 100% honest with you about things he's not to sure/proud of, be grateful, because it can be pretty rare.
84. Although we do relate many things to sex, not everything is literally sexual, they like just being close to you too.
85. Guys only like sluts when they're single, as soon as their in a relationship, its just annoying.
86. Guys will always be nervous about giving girls presents they like, no matter how close to or comfortabke they are around the girl. Your opinion is just too important to him.
87. Guys are often terrified of a girl they like too much. The way some girls make you feel makes it impossible for you to function, the same reason a lot of guys persue strictly physical relationships.
88. Guys may not know how to handle a relationship, we admit, we're not the greatest nor the smartest at doing things right. But girls are definitely not any better, so please don't argue with us and make it seem like you know how things are supposed to be and your ways are right. It may seem logical, but frankly, it always isn't.
89. Guys love anything you wear. Really. Don't continuously ask them how you look every time you wear something.
90. THE NUMBER ONE RULE: Don't rub the lamp if you don't want the genie to come out.

Procrastination is like masturbation. At first it feels good, but in the end you're only screwing yourself
And it is with this in mind that i have decided to do a blog post today :)
Howdy y'all, it's been a while (about 2 weeks by my count) and i'm actually starting to get withdrawal symptoms!
Sooooo what's been happenin' in da hizouse, in ma hood? Quite a bit actually. For one, i'm becoming a huge fan of the word Indolence...it makes my laziness sound classy ^_^
Was sick the other day, caught the bug off my little brother. I kept telling him not to go in my room while he was sick because, obviously, i'd end up catching it. But low and behold, there he was, every day of his illness, playing xbox. I didn't have the heart to shout at him as he was pretty ill, so i just let it pass. But when i got it, there was something he said/did that made me want to cry. I was lying in bed, when he walked in, tears streaming down his face, gave me a huge hug, looked at me and said "...i'm sorry i made you poorly", before running out of the room crying. I was stuck for words. He's a sensitive little soul, very emotional, so the next day I gave him a big hug and let him know that everything was OK and that it wasn't his fault.
Football was a disaster the last two weeks. My first touch has gone to hell and my shooting isn't too amazing either. I really need to sort it out. Kettering lost aswell, losing with it the chance to face man utd (my favourite team) in the next round. To say the least, i was quite devastated. But it was good publicity, so i can't complain.
Dad's on the fritz again. His sleeping patterns are totally messed up again, which means the rest of the family spend our entire time downstairs arguing with each other in silence. It's a horrible atmosphere, but we have to put up with it in the hopes of swinging him back round to the right times. So far he's somewhere in Russia, hopefully by xmas he'll be back round to our time.
On a more positive note, going to town tomorrow with the guys...our 'krewe' XD. Usually is a laugh when we all get together, and i think our newest member will be in attendance aswell. Its a good group to be fair. We have a diverse range of personalities, likes, dislikes, people. We are a very open group, almost anyone can join if they can stand us. I swear they should make a tv show about us!
But alas, i must now bid you adieu, until we speak again et al. I'll try and do the next one tomorrow.
Hasta la pasta mi amigos

How soon 'not now' becomes 'never'
Hey ladels and jellyspoons, to quote a great man.
bored again, and it's 1.30, so i thought i'd pop on and tell you what a lazy ass i've been today :P
Woke up at about 9 to mum telling me to get the phone. It was Josh asking if i wanted to go over to his to watch some films, but alas i couldn't. Dad wasn't out of bed, and i couldn't do anything without his say so. So i said no, and went back to bed.
Got up again at about 12 and went on the xbox. L and B were on so played a bit of ODST with them and K before L had to go for dancing and i decided to stay on and get some stuff on call of duty. I stayed in my room for MOST of the day before going downstairs every now and then to talk to people, get nourishment (i feel like i put on 50lb today) and get out of the room. I've started developing this weird obsession with opening my window and shutting the curtains. I dont know WHY i do it, but it's incredibly annoying XD
Watched the football for most of the day while playing. United won, west ham nearly let a 5 goal lead slip and hull drew with man city. Overall a good day on the football front as tottenham and villa also drew.
I'm starting to wonder what life has come to as im now contemplating going back on the xbox out of an inability to sleep and sheer boredom. My sister is still up in here room and dad is downstairs on his PC...i think something needs to change.
Tomorrow should be good though, J, H and P are going to come over to watch the Kettering vs Leeds game, and i dont think they know that we will be accompanied by my sister who is 'dying' to watch kettering play. She's been my pet project since i got into football. She kept saying she would never do anything i ask her to. For example, she'd never play on the xbox. She's now an xbox addict. She'd never play call of duty. She's an addict. She'd never watch a football match, she's now starting to watch them with me on a regular basis. The next thing is to get her to play fifa, though i feel that will take a while.
I don't say it enough to her, but i really am proud of her, what she's become and everything. She's doing really well at school, seems to have her life sorted out at the moment, and i know i never say it directly to her, but i really am happy to have her as a sister.
And that's me done, i think i'll try and get some shut eye before dad comes up and moans at me for still being up XD
NANIGHT!

Wazzaaaaa!
Hey y'all, just thought i'd pop on and say hiiiiiii
I've decided that instead of coming on once every week or so and writing a big post, i'll write small, regular ones instead. And instead of there having to be a big issue, i'll just write about my day...should hopefully keep me busy-ish.
Well i'll start with yesterday, as it just generally seems like a good starting point. Yesterday was just like every other wednesday. The sense of excitement of realising that i have a free, german, physics then football, possibly the best combination of lessons EVER, followed by the "unnnhhh tiiiired". This feeling carried with me through the day, but as it became time for football, it dissipated and i was left with a sense of anything could happen.
It was a regular session, do some warm ups, practice some shiz, have a match, except for some reason, it was a lot rougher than usual; kept getting my ankles taken out. Came out of training with a bruised ankle and many pulled muscles in my upper body. I've found that using this Radox muscle therapy bubble bath stuff really does help. With it, it'll take about two days after a session for me to feel better, without...about 5?
I know it sounds whiney, but i've been in pain with it all day today aswell, to the point where its extremely painful just to lift myself off the ground. Speaking of weight, lost another 3lb this week, making my total somewhere around the 25lb mark. Yay me :)
Was absolutely shattered last night, so decided to finish off my chemistry homework (the first time i've done homework actually at home all year) and went to bed at 7. Considering i usually go to bed at about 2, this is a BIG shock for my body, and i end up not sleeping at all. In fact, i should be going to bed now, but i'll finish up here first. Got out of bed feeling kind of maybe ok, had some lucozade tablets and felt fresh and ready to go.
Most of the day was the usual stuff, though i think my german teacher now thinks im a cheater. We had some homework in which i got 100% and the whole class was told to redo it. I then got about 45%. Simple reason i found was that i didnt have my table of propositions in front of me that time, ergo i was using the wrong ones and therefore the wrong case. I felt really bad...i'll have to talk to him about it.
Kept getting harrassed this afternoon by people asking me who i...fancy...i hate using that word in that context. I feel so...childish. But all i will say is this: I DO have my eye on someone, but don't bother asking me about it. I don't want to say anything in case it's just a passing thing...if it does sort of...develop, then by all means, i'll tell you if you ask. But until then, :-#
Backtracking slightly, went to a mates house the other day for his birthday party. Not that many people turned up, but it was a right laugh and SOME people had way too much to drink. Much throwing up was done, ironically none by me. Spent the rest of the night in the living room with L, B and H just chatting away and eating McCoys.
I also today got an ugly reminder that my dad monitors EVERYTHING i do on my PC. This may sound weird, but i dont know how much he actually monitors, or for that matter cares. But i dont want to push it y'know? I know that he occasionally does because he's seen screenshots and pulled me up on them before, and when i use bad language (hence i NEVER swear on the computer and possibly why i swear like a marine in real life...im very sorry to any of my friends that may find it offensive). But I take solace from knowing that i AM helping him with his product, being a guinea pig. Someone has to do it, i just wish it wasn't me.
Right, i think that's about enough for tonight. I'll try (i've said that a gazillion times i know, but shaddap) and post tomorrow. If someone goes on MSN after seein this and sees me, PLEASE remind me to do so.
Muchas gracias and ciao for now!

Am on ya compooterz, ritin ma blog
Well haaaai!
I know i haven't been posting as often as i would like to, and I know i say that everytime, but hey, what're you gonna do? :)
Just been thinking "What can I do? My sister's on the xbox, I'm sat here and i've visited every website i can think of, watching the BBC live text of the world cup qualifiers.....what now?", then it occured to me, i DID have something to do. So i had a shower, and here i am :)
Forewarning - The next few paragraphs are dedicated to football. If you have a resentment of this most beautiful of sports, skip on.
I suppose the main reason i came on here was to brag about something that happened in midweek. A group of 16 of us Football IEC'ers (do football as part of a diploma at school) jumped on a minibus and headed off to Prince William's in Oundle for a football tournament. We were split into two teams, and A team and a B team. The A Team was full of all the best players in the school, with Mr.T in goal (OK, we all knew it had to come. I got it over and done with nice and quickly), while the B team had all the people that weren't good enough to play in the match a couple of weeks previously.
As we arrived, we were in high spirits. Team A would probably win the tournament, and we would do whatever we could to give a good account of ourselves, knowing that in this, the season of FA Cupsets, anything was possible. During our warm up match between the 2 teams, i felt prettygood, my shooting was alright, and the team had gelled together quite well, as well as our keeper that had been brought in at the last minute performing better than we expected. Everything seemed alright.
Then the other teams arrived.
I think they were a mix of upper sixth and lower sixth, while we were JUST lower sixth. However, as i said before, anything is possible. We started the tournament.
The first game started pretty badly, we didn't have much possession at all, and their players totally outclassed us. I started on the bench, watching from behind, and when after a couple of minutes we went behind, i came on. From a different perspective, it was obvious why we were losing. The other team were stronger, faster, fitter and generally more skillful than us, and they made us pay. A 4-0 thrashing was our punishment. The highlight for me was hitting the post with a pass through to K that sort of turned into a shot.
We examined what happened and came to the conclusion we needed another man in defense. J offered to drop back with Jor and A to try and sure things up at the back, leaving K and Sh in midfield and me and St up front (though he was meant to be playing in midfield, he stayed further up the pitch than I did).
4-0 in the second match did nothing to raise our spirits, and after this game we rallied around to speak to Team A, whom we found had drawn 0-0 and lost 1-0. Neither team had scored...it didn't look good. The next game, we lost 3-0...a slight improvement. The only difference was we changed keeper, putting Jor in goal and playing H (supposedly) in defence. We did alright until near the end when their class shone through and they scored a quickfire treble. I had one chance, a long ball played over the top by H which bounced a bit to high and made me wait a little bit too long before volleying it at the top corner but watching the shot get tipped away by the keeper.
The next game was a shambles for us, despite only losing 2-0. We hadn't scored, and our team just disintegrated. Nobody wanted to be subbed, though we found out over the top balls were extremely effective, though we found out too late to make a real difference.
Thinking it was the end of the tournament and having not scored a single goal, we regrouped once more with Team A, finding out that they also hadn't scored a goal, though they had kept 2 or 3 clean sheets. When they originally found out that they weren't going to be able to play us, they were outraged, saying that everyone else had an advantage of being able to play us. However, at th end of the 4 games, they found there would be playoffs for 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th and 5th/6th place. 5th/6th? Team A vs Team B. This was perfect, and we were able to play all 8 players at once instead of 7 + 1 sub. Before the game i told everyone that "If we score and take the lead, BIG celebration!" to which H replied "CONGA!"
The game was fantastic, we were able to control the ball, and they totally underestimate us. Their tactic was 7 upfront, with P in goal, and occasionally L dropping back. And with this, Jor, released from his role as a keeper and led back into the outfield, picked up a fantastic through ball from K, ran down the left flank and booted it into the net. That was it, BIG CONGA time. We all erupted into cheers, and sprinted to the center to celebrate. That is when J shouted "THEYRE STARRTING AGAIN YOU PRICKS!". He charged back to stop L from scoring, and in doing so conceded a free kick, to which we were not able to form a wall before KM hoofed it home, making it 1-1.
Towards the end of the game was the best. It was tense, and there was a lot of open play. That is when St picked up the ball on the wing. He dribbled it in, i saw my chance and ran up to the goal. He looked up, saw me and put in a low pass. It went past P in goal, and my entire footballing life flashed before my eyes. You see i've never been fantastic at scoring close range efforts from crosses. My timing is always slightly off as i use my toe, giving me a very small margin of error. However, this time i showed the inside of my foot and tapped it in.
It was a simple goal, but it was the first one i'd scored in a competitive match since year 6, which made it that much sweeter. The celebration was even bigger than before, though without so much running intothe middle allowing them to score. For the rest of the game, we were on the backfoot, vigorously defending and praying we could hang on. KM had lots of chances, but someone, usually J, got in the way. I was really impressed with J throughout the whole tournament. He was solid at the back and won almost every header he went for. When the final whistle went, i dont think any of us have ever cheered so loud. David had beaten Goliath. It was Kettering vs Fulham in the FA Cup again, but this time, the right team had won. (In reality, Fulham won 4-2 with 2 late goals to seal the victory). It felt like winning the champions league final, and i'm sure we'll remember it for many years to come.
On the way back, we were all celebrating, and i was being congratulated for scoring the winner. We came 5th, but that didn't matter. We beat the best team in the school. That's all that mattered. For the next few days, it wasn't left alone. There were announcements in assembly, people patting us on the back, and i've even picked up a few nicknames (Duke the Nuke, Dukain Bolt and Duke Chambers among my favourites) and i must say the attention is welcome. It has done wonders for our morale and I'm not looking forward to training on wednesday when, no doubt, we will get our asses kicked across the field.
There's my football talk over. In other news, my sister had her boyfriend round today, so what else did we do? We played monopoly. It was actually really fun, everybody got competitive and i learned not to trust anyone :P. I'm actually really glad that she is going out with him. He's a nice enough lad, i get on well with him and he can be a laugh. He isn't everyones cup of tea, but i think he fits in well with our family.
Look at that, me commenting on my sister's boyfriend. I think that's a sign that i'm done tonight.
Twas nice to talk...at you all. Hasta banana ;)

It's the most wonderful time of the year
Hey guys, as you will no doubt know, christmas is just round the corner.
I'm not going to talk about it, but it is :)
No, what's got me thinking is something that i spoke about with a friend last night, ironically on msn. Why do i use my PC so much?
It was meant as a light hearted joke, and i know she loves coming on and having these long conversations with me, but once she went offline, it really got me thinking, why DO i use it so much?
This was such a big question for me as it asked much of the last 13 years of my life, and today lots of my friends have noticed that i've not been all there. I've been deep in thought trying to solve this, and i think i've finally figured it out.
I can put down the obvious reason, i use it for work, but to be honest, i never use it for work at home. As far as i am concerned, my time is my time. I earned the free time by working hard in school, ergo i shouldn't have to work at home. Lots of people will argue, but that's how i feel :) The real bulk of reasons is directly related to my life and surroundings.
I've been using the computer since i was about 3, when i learned to type and do really simple stuff. My dad is some sort of computer guru, so learning was really easy with his help. I usually get asked how i can type so quickly, and the simple answer is that i've been typing before i could write. My entire life i've been surrounded by computers and games consoles (again, one of the advantages of having my dad). I've been playing computer games like half life and quake since i was about 7 and because of that, I like to think I have really good reflexes and hand eye coordination.
Another reason would be a lack of things to do. I am constantly either bored or asleep, unless out with my friends, which to be honest doesn't happen as much as I would like, especially now in the winter months. But i find that going on the computer simply gives me something to do. Simples *noise*
However, possibly the most complex, and let's face it, sad, reason is to come. Since i was little, I've been told that i'm really smart, gifted and talented etc, but everything i do is always overshadowed, to the point where i wasn't happy with an A in biology. I know it sounds pig headed, but thats honestly how i felt. But i started playing games which i suppose gave me some sort of achievement where i found my life to be lacking in it. And when i was getting told by strangers that i was really good, it sort of filled a void in my life, a craving for attention, being noticed. It also gave me something that i could say i was better at than my friends.
It's really sad on my part, playing games and using PC's for that reason, but that's the whole and honest truth.
Onto non-computer related stuff, went to the firework display at Wickies yesterday. Had so much fun, but felt kind of bad the whole time for reasons that for now will remain secret, though a couple of people know them. Basically, I'm a horrible friend. But i did feel i was slightly justified. Anyway, the fireworks were fantastic, the live band not TOO bad, good for a cover band anyway. Met a friend from school that had moved on, remenisced, had a proper laugh with him, like the good old days then waited for L's mum to come and pick us up, taking her time of course :P
Also, school is still boring.
Right, I've said my piece, and to quote a great man, on that bombshell, i'll be off now. Will try and write again tomorrow-ish.

Hola Y'all!
Howdy y'all, just though I'd pop on and say Hi...so...Hi ^^
Ofcourse this really isn't the best of places to be saying hello, but you know, manners are everything.
Decided to come on here after reading a certain news article that really made me think. Something about that we may have orbital hotels by 2012. For $4m you can be trained in aeronautics in the carribean, flown into space where you will spend a month, then return to earth. You can do things like star gazing, watching earth and other spacey activities.
apparently they got $3bn dollar investments from saudi businessmen (surprise surprise) but this made me think...would they not be better off investing money in getting man to mars rather than making hotels?
Thoughts in comments please :)
Thats all for now,i know this has been a bit short but i'll make another later when i have a bit more time
Hasta la pasta!

Oops....
As i usually do at this time of night, i'm too tired to do anything, but not tired enough to go to sleep and having exhausted all of my other options, I was just flicking around my address bar, pressing random letters and hoping I'd find something to spend some time on, when i pressed T, and this address came up. "Oh Sh*t" i thought to myself.
Sorry i haven't been posting recently, I have totally forgotten about it, and everytime i DO remember it I think "oh I'll do it later". Total procrastination on my part, and for that i am sorry.
I haven't posted on here since the 23rd of Oct, and as its...well 1st Nov now, its been......9 days? whatever, and to be perfectly honest, nothing has changed. I've been trying to convince some of my friends to go out and do something over the weekends instead of staying in and talking to each other over MSN etc, going to a club for a halloween party or going to a fair were just some of the ideas i floated about, but everybody seems determined to carry on, though we did get the concession of going to somebodys house for the evening.
It was actually a lot of fun, we played some guitar hero, sang some singstar (the guys totally beat the girls), and played about on the computer. Spotify was the main hub of the computer, playing some beat the intro and making videos of us dancing to some songs. It was actually a lot more fun than I imagined it would be (though i knew it would be fun haha).
Other than that it's been another pretty slow week. School is dragging on, we went back last week from a two week holiday. I've been buffeted by my friends that go to other schools about how they were on holiday and i was at school. A quick mention of my previous two week break was more than enough to shut them up. But i've decided that i really need to get my head down and work this term. Last terms end of term test were a bit of a wakeup call. German was, as usual, my strong point. 100%'s were the story of the term, while i picked up a meagre 27% in my physics test (albeit with NO revision). I did OK in my chemistry, though OK really isn't good enough for me, and my teachers LOST my biology test. Groan.
We recently got a letter about a trip to germany for the german a levelers and gcse...ers. We get to go to Berlin for 6 days, all good, language lessons every morning...still good, explore berlin in the afternoon...fantastic, and stay half board with a german family (2 per family). Uh oh. I am all for going to germany and everything, but I nearly left the room to find some toilet paper at that last one. It isn't that i have a fear of meeting new people, on the contrary, i think it's fantastic. However, I am an INCREDIBLY fussy eater (as my friends will testify). I am super scared that we'll be served something that I won't like and i won't want to eat it. It's incredibly rude, but were i to eat whatever it may be, i would most likely throw up. That...trait has held me back a lot the past few years, pretending to eat at parties, eating very little at meals with my friend's families...none of it looks good, but it's the only way i can get through it.
I know eventually I'm going to have to get through that phase, but it is much easier said than done, as I'm sure a lot of you will know. But I have confidence it will happen sooner or later. For example, I recently abandoned my hatred of chocolate and am now somewhat of a choccy lover (granted i am not fully there, but am getting there slowly but surely).
Well that's me for now. I'll try and post again tomorrow :)
Hasta la pasta mi amigos

Another Lazy Friday Afternoon
Howdy y'all
Today for most people has been a celebration. The end of term, fantastic, all that kind of stuff. But for me, it's been another reminder that I have school on monday and I can honestly tell you that it is the worst feeling in the world. Soon we will have to leave the relatively stress-free life of home and head back to the loony bin that is school.
On the upside, it means that I will be able to see my friends that I haven't seen over the past 2 weeks, chat about everything that's gone on, laugh at some people about Liverpool (hopefully) losing to united, but mostly just have a catch up and a laugh.
I have to say that the past few days, since I got back from Center Parcs, have been really...for want of a better word...lazy. I've been getting out of bed at 1200 most days and going to sleep around 0300. I feel really sluggish, and all I've done really is sit and eat, which is the main reason I have been doing pretty much everything i possibly can today, gym, football, badminton, biking, trying to get back to where i was at the end of last term.
I'm really looking forward to going back to school in the respect that I'll get to have my wednesday afternoon football lessons again, which I have begun to really enjoy. Though I unfortunately have to catch up on all of my biology homework (always a pain), it should all be worth it, at least that's the theory.
On non-school related subjects, I think I have finally found out something that has been bugging me for years. For the past few years, I haven't been able to look anyone in the face, as in right into their eyes. I do get the feeling that whenever I look away, just for a second, they are thinking "how rude!", but as I said, I finally figured out that it's my eyes. I am slightly cock-eyed which I think must have been repressed, but it has stopped me looking at people for very long for years. So if you ever see me doing that, you know why.
That's my post done for today, not exactly daily, but every couple of days...could be shaping up quite nicely :)
Peace out :P

Hola!
Hey guys, sorry i haven't posted in a while, but i've been in the wonderful world of Center Parcs for the past couple of days. Shame is that i had to come home early, dad wasn't feeling too good, but ah well. I enjoyed the time i had there, and took a friend along with me that made the trip a lot more fun while it lasted.
Other than that, not much has really changed, life's still going at 1mph, another week left of holiday before school starts, which is always a bummer. I'm supposed to be relaxing but all i can think about is how long is left before we have to go back to school.
In the context of this blog, I'm still trying to decide what kind of blog to make it. Do i make it political? sports? religion? or just anything that takes my fancy? I'm sure if i just keep posting it will start taking a natural course, which is really the philosophy for my entire life - keep working at it, and eventually everything should fall into place.
A lot is changing at the moment, my brother's just been found to be some sort of a genius and is being examined for this, that and the other, and my sister is becoming mouthier by the day. Just got to work through it and try to come out the other side when everything's back to normal. Dad's slowly getting better, which i know is rather contrary to us having to come home, but at least we got there, a stark contrast to most of our other planned holidays. Though that really is the thing, we never plan anything, we never know how dad is going to feel. Everything we do is always last minute (we booked the center parcs trip on sunday and left on monday), and that has sort of filtered into my mentality. I never plan things, i always wing it. But i have really bad OCD, i have to know everything that is going to happen, which sometimes leaves me in a bit of a state, wanting to know what is happening but at the same time having no actual plan of what we are about to do.
Anyway, that's me for now. Time to go and find something to do, ideas? :)

Introductions
Introductions online are never easy. I've spent almost my entire life coming online and introducing myself saying "Hey all" or just trying to blend in on the conversation. However, this time there is no conversation to blend into, so i'll have to give it my best shot.
So a little bit about me? Well I'm 16, male, extremely atheist (sometimes to the point of insanity) and i try to lessen the burden of life on others by offering myself as a shoulder to cry on, an advice giver and i try to be as much of a laugh as possible.
I'm a football fanatic (come on Manchester United :D), a games console addict and i am into just about any type of music you could think of. All of these factors have helped to turn me into the person i am today, and i LIKE to think that it's not been all that bad.
"What has possessed you to write a blog?" i hear you scream, and my simple answer is this. Boredom. I'm hoping that by writing a blog, it'l help to fill in the empty spaces between football, xbox, sleep and school. I'm also not much of a writer, so I'm hoping that doing this will help to improve my writing skills somewhat.
As i previously mentioned, I'm a bit of a video game addict. I blame my dad, who first got my hooked when i was about three, and I've been playing online games since i was about 5 (gotta love a bit of quake and half life :D) and with this in mind, I have started up a small video...production company if you will. We specialize in machinima, and have released a few comedic videos in the past, with many more in production. www.richchief.com if you want to check it out :)
So something more about me? I was a normal, happy kid when i was young, until about 6 years ago when my dad did his back in, got really ill and life became hell. We stopped going out, doing anything, my entire family got really depressed, and i turned to eating as my best friends all abandoned me in my time of need. Since then, i have struggled with my weight, but over the last few months, i've begun to fight back and am now losing weight pretty fast, which just increases my happy mood.
I always try to have a positive outlook on life, and try to help my friends to have this great feeling aswell. I'm always trying to crack jokes and do stuff, no matter how stupid, to put a smile on my friends faces (videos on youtube will testify to this).
I'm starting now to feel like I may have written too much, but you know, so what. That's usually my philosophy on life. So what. Life gets you down? So what. It's served me well over the years, and i hope it will continue to do so.
Throughout my entire life, I've had many friends and best friends, most of whom turn out to be utter twats, and for that reason, I've never really felt like i can trust anyone of late, but I finally feel like i have a good group of friends that I really can rely on and who will be there for me when I am in my hour of need.
Right, now i really do feel like I may have gone on a bit too long. I'm going to try and make a new post every day, but knowing me i'll forget and this will lie in ruins. Best way to keep me writing? Subscriptions :) which i know sounds like a droll advertisement, but it's true.
Thanks for reading and i hope you come again :)
So a little bit about me? Well I'm 16, male, extremely atheist (sometimes to the point of insanity) and i try to lessen the burden of life on others by offering myself as a shoulder to cry on, an advice giver and i try to be as much of a laugh as possible.
I'm a football fanatic (come on Manchester United :D), a games console addict and i am into just about any type of music you could think of. All of these factors have helped to turn me into the person i am today, and i LIKE to think that it's not been all that bad.
"What has possessed you to write a blog?" i hear you scream, and my simple answer is this. Boredom. I'm hoping that by writing a blog, it'l help to fill in the empty spaces between football, xbox, sleep and school. I'm also not much of a writer, so I'm hoping that doing this will help to improve my writing skills somewhat.
