Good Evening ....... in the wake of the last week and everything thats happened lately you kinda would be forgiven for asking the question is anything actually 'good' right now?
I've got a few things i want to touch on tonight, but lets just start on the most obvious one - perhaps a political subject, these are my opinions and i'm not saying they are right but its just the things that have been going through my head!
Wow is all i can say! Its been a whirlwind hasn't it ...... in the last week what has happened to 'Great' Britain. I can't say I'm surprised, and in all honesty i'm not going to say I'm ashamed to be English / British or whatever, because for the most part us British citizens are actually pretty decent folk! It's just a shame that the future of our country in the shape of these youths is looking bleak - and its certainly making me think twice about whether or not I want to bring kids into this world.
The question is - do I feel sorry for all these kids that have been so badly 'let down by the government and the system'
And my initial reaction is NO ..... It is not their god given right to have possessions that people like me (and those of you reading this) work long and hard to save up and buy. And nor is it right for them to think the government are ever going to be taught a lesson by a bunch of uneducated (whether thats their fault or not) youths. If they think they have no opportunity and future, surely the same rules apply to the thousands of people who have lost their jobs to redundancy no?! You know those people who can't afford to pay for their mortgages and have family holidays et all?! The things they WORK hard for and pay taxes on gone within an instant ...... Do you see them torching down businesses and destroying homes and lives - its the same Government who's done this to everyone right!?!?
On the otherside of it i kinda do feel bad for these kids, who have been absymally let down by their parents, now I'm sorry but for anyone that says these kids are out of control and they do what they like is rubbish. My parents had complete control of me, they put the fear of god into me ..... They taught me that when you play by the rules you have a good life and lots of good things happen, break the rules then you lose out until you understand the magnitude of your actions. These days kids seem to rule the roost and not the other way round . If I ever took anything that wasn't mine or did anything to hurt another person then my parents would of dragged me home and probably rang the police themselves! And let me tell you my parents were'nt strict, i had relatively free reign to go out, see my friends - the normal things you would expect but i knew where the line was and i didn't cross it (well maybe once or twice!)
Its not fair to blame a lack of education / over crowding or whatever else is being moaned at, the fact is if you want to change your life you have the power to do it - thats something we all are in charge of. If theres 10 kids or 30 kids in a class, if you want to pay attention and do well you will do. In the same respect that if you want to get a job to pay your taxes and earn the right to have a voice then you get one. There are jobs there if you really want to get one. The trouble now is that everyone expects everything with minimal effort put in to obtain it.
Whilst the looting and the rioting has gone on, foolishly these kids think that they've won and its 'payback' and 'getting their taxes back' All they've done is damaged their future and mine that little bit more because of their huge lack of understanding. The consequences of the last week in this country will have a huge impact on our already almost broken economy - the same economy that the government (whoever was in power) has taken into a recession ...... So now everything is going to cost that little bit more, and people will be spending that little bit less - if only they could see past the initial gain and see they've just made things 100 times worse for themselves, But thats the trouble when you act on impulse - your vision is rose-tinted
I also don't think that punishing these people with prison is going to work. It won't teach them the respect and discipline they are so desperately missing in life and badly need. Personally, I think some sort of armed forces work for a set period of time will be the thing to change these kids lives ..... Give them some purpose, teach them valuable life lessons and make a difference doing some good. You never know they might come back better people for it.
Anyways, moving on ..... I've been on a detox for 7 whole days i've been right good too, i've lost a few inches and 4lbs ..... I've for 7 weeks to Ibiza and i'm hoping another 10lbs off and few more inches! My mind is feeling better and i am obsessedddddd with this app on my phone 'myfitnesspal' its really helping me .... watching what i'm eating, monitoring it, cos i am actually pretty shit at food diaries and my PT is quite pleased with what im eating / drinking and obviously i've been working out a bit harder too ..... I can honestly say i've never felt so positive about something as i have towards this ibiza detox! My diet hasn't actually been that bad this year - apart from Carbicide Sundays but i literally am in this weird i'm losing 14lbs in 8 weeks zone and i'm not getting out of it. It feels so good to have motivation and purpose for doing something again.
There's a pair of bad boy jeans i NEED in my life from topshop and as a treat i'm getting them because i deserve them and they will look amazing on me in about 3 weeks time ..... (they look 'alright' now cos tried them on the other day)
Quite a lot of other not so good, weird shit going on, but in all honesty i dont really want to go into detail as yet, because if anything I'm still in 'observation' mode and when the time's right to tell you the good, the bad and the ugly i will do, but that time isn't quite now!
I've learned that i am a VERY observant person who has a level of calm inside of me i didn't think i had - both at work and personally ..... Some things in life are a test and i refuse to let these tests beat me, it really is that simple. Sometimes - very much like with that Vicky girl I knew, people just hang themselves without you even needing to do a thing, so if theres someone at work that grates on you, or just is quite a nasty person, you might not even need to do a thing except be patient, work hard, impress your bosses and leave the other shit to 'that' person - eventually everything comes out in the wash! Just don't be the one standing there with dirty hands ...... - thats just a little piece of advice from moi! Who's seen a lot, fucked up a lot and learned a lot on the way for the better i might add also!
Boywatch is simple ..... The one i want i can have just not how i want ...... which makes me sad kinda - but in the grand plan i'm not dwelling because IF it was meant to be then it would .... so there must be something better to happen. Few dates with a 'nice' local boy - not really earth shattering but is kinda a grower and i can't say i dislike him cos i don't i have fun but is there a spark ..... hmmmmmn ask me again in a few more dates time, then theres one i wish i could want ..... but i don't, and i wish i could change how i see / feel ! fuminggggg ........ Then theres the ones i don't even know about yet waiting in the wings !!!!
I want you all to look at this website

Its important, and follow @harrymoseley on twitter -
This 11 year old hero has well and truely captured my heart. He's in ICU right now as i type this 48 hours after a very big operation to remove what was an inoperable tumour on his brain. This kid is everything that is GOOD about this country - despite having this since 2007 he has been going to school, and working hard raising over £500k for cancer research in the hope that one day kids like him wont have to suffer at the hands of brain cancer ever again. You can donate £2 and Harry will make you a bracelet made of love, spreading his message - help harry help others ..... I can't wait to get mine, even though it may take a while to come cos he's quite poorly at the moment. The boy has a beautful soul and is seriously an angel sent from god - doing amazing things and caring about others even though he's fighting constantly his own battle.
His mum has been tweeting whilst he's been asleep, and well all I can hope is that when he wakes up he can SEE his family - because thats a major concern right now that this beautiful little lad might not be able to anymore.
If there is any justice in this world then the Doc's will have got rid of the majority of his tumour and he will be able to open his eyes to the world again and carry on his fantastic charity work for many many years to come.
Give yourself 10 mins to read about him through twitter and on his website .... it will melt your heart xx
Buzzing about Ibiza closings the crew is getting bigger! Hotel takeover is happening seriously! so i'm staying in like a good clair, working hard at work, proving my worth to my Dad in the hope that when this recession is over and Print is alive again (due to me getting loads and loads of work in) he doubles my salary, and then some!!! now that would be nice wouldn't it?! poxy government letting me down, aint had a payrise in 3 years!!! should i go vent my anger by looting down wanstead high st?!?! Course not silly ..... my parents did right by me and taught me thats now how we roll!
Enjoy your weekends, i'll write again soon
Love
Me! x
