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 :)
