I think you should see this...

Wow fourth post of the day thats gotta be some kind of record (for me at least). But I saw this video and thought I should share it because I think this guy says alot of meaningful and inspirational things. Yeah it's like an hour and fifteen minutes of your life but in my opinion it's an hour and fifteen minutes well spent. Here's the video it's Randy Pausch's Last Lecture...

Hey same old story as the last post but this one is a bit shorter and more philosophical...

The whole world with just one exception is made up of others. Fact! Can not be changed. So surely others are very important in life. Perhaps we should treat others with respect. Perhaps others should come first. That seems to be the case with everything else. The majority matters. 

But too often we cast aside all others. We focus on us and what is ours. We discard the people that mean the most; that count. The people who, most of the time, love us dearly and who we also love but just cant show it. We’ve got to learn to keep them close. We have to realise when someone is helping us be it a teacher, parent or friend and let them.

Hey I was looking through my old computer and found this that I wrote in February 2007, thought I'd share it. It's pretty deep but then it was a pretty emotional and depressive time for me. (The bucket list is on it's way still in progress).

People can leave your life in seconds but the memories stay a little longer. Now sometimes that’s good and others that’s bad. Unfortunately for me I want to forget but can’t, I want to move on but am held back and I want to love again but my heart says “No!”. 

In trying to forget I’ve began to drown myself in the memories and now a minute without a thought of her is all too rare. I find the words I said to her on repeat in my head and the moments we met are on continuous playback. Over and over making sure I live in regret of ever meeting the one I love. Had I known that living without her would be this hard I would never have wanted to meet her. Don’t get me wrong when we were together things were great but the point is we’re not together anymore and there’s the pain; separation. Together in my mind and dreams but not where I need her, in this little town called reality. 

The trouble with reality is that to get out you have to hurt others. Believe me if it wasn’t for friends and family I’d be long gone and free of this torment. I only live for everyone else and no longer for myself. Without her I’m not complete and I’m not me and when I lost her I also lost myself. I exist purely as a being to prevent hurting those close to me. 

It's been a while!

:( July has nearly been and gone without me making a single post on here. I'd like to say it's because I've been enjoying the sunshine but if I'm honest I've spent waaaaay too much time inside. (Inside my house that is I haven't been in prison.) Nearer to the truth is the fact that I don't really have a lot to talk about at present; I'm a wee bit short of inspiration - as some random scottish person would say. 

However despite this I thought I would try and conjure up something remotely entertaining to keep y'all coming back and reading my blog...

*Sits deep in thought*

... OK lets try this for size. I recently watched the film "The Bucket List" for those of you who haven't seen it it's basically about a rich guy and a poor guy who write a list of things to do before they die or "Kick the bucket" hence it being called a bucket list. They then set about completing each of these things. So I'm gunna write my own Bucket List and I'll post it on here in it's entirety and then cross off each thing as I do it. 

So come back and keep checking it out see what I've been doing. (Thats a terrible way to try and get subscribers isn't it but I'm not apologizing you should be subscribers anyway haha) 

Whilst this post is kinda related to films for those of you who don't know possibly my favourite film is Patch Adams if you haven't seen it then this is me telling you to get yourself a copy watch it and take notes cause Patch is a great guy and more people should share his attitude and philosophy on life. 

Peace Out
