Day 30 - Your highs and lows of the past month.
Start of the month, I was bored, also a little distracted. I went from ache to vindictive in what seems like a day. I was good then all of a sudden, spite reigns it’s large head. That’s roughly when I went up the coast, which was enjoyable. I know there was surprise in there somewhere, can’t remember which day. That was relaxing all up though. Then I got a bit down I assume,...
Beware of Humbert Humbert.
Now THAT was a story about monsters.
It’s far more impressive to sound intelligent rather than to be intelligent.
Day 29 - Goals for the next 30 days
I’m paraphrasing but:
Goals become something you say rather than something you do.
Sure, I want to do stuff, but goals aren’t my motivation. We achieve lots of things in our lives, but personally, I’d rather live my life for the journey, not for the destination.
“Deflating ego’s; one prick at a time.”
– Me (Aren’t I so witty? I’m so proud of myself I might burst.)
I might cry.
Superb strike, but considering the amount of room up, he could of eaten a three course meal and still scored.
That shit’s depressing.
Day 28 - Something I miss.
My innocence. We all have to grow up sometime, but being innocent is truly quite fun. That period in life where you trust too much, you enjoy everything and you can’t spot an insult.
While I miss that, I’m never, ever, going to get it back, and as much as I miss it, I don’t want it back.
Also, I miss easy maths. Holy shit how much I’d give to only have to do addition.
Having an iPod with less than half the capacity of your entire music collection leads to tough choices.
Day 27 - A problem you've had.
Women.
Haha, but doesn’t every guy have that issue? Except Jay-Z of course. So I’ll choose something that’s slightly related to that.
Self confidence.
It’s in short supply, the self confidence to back myself. I’m overly self critical and over the years, I had my confidence beaten out of me. No longer am I someone to feel comfortable in the company of strangers, too...
I don't know how,
But you bring out the worst in me.

Day 26 - What kind of person attracts you?
Someone awesome.
That said, it takes us 90 seconds to 4 minutes to decide if we’re attracted to someone. In that time, you definitely haven’t taken things into account. Namely, personality.
We are shallow creatures, no denying it. Looks have too big of a say in our lives, even the most unattractive have standards unbecoming their station.
I have slightly higher standards then what...
Day 25 - Someone who fascinates you.
I’ve been thinking, and nobody comes to mind. Well, kinda.
You obviously have your great thinkers, the Da Vinci’s and the Newton’s, who are fascinating due to the scope of their imagination and intellect. Those people who persevere and pave the way for humanity, whether it be in the sciences, or the arts.
And in a sense, everybody is a little fascinating. The way we act under...
Pinky Promise?
Promises get us lost. Made in the heat of the moment, we don’t think it through. It’s where selflessness gets you, lost.
Poetic… yes. Worth it?
Depends if you have a map.
Day 24 - Your favorite movie and what it is about.
*EDIT*
SHIT SHIT SHIT.
ROCK’N’ROLLA
I haven’t watched but that’s my favorite!!!!!!!!!
*/EDIT*
This is kind of embarrassing, but I don’t have one. Ahhh. It’s not that I don’t like movies. I do. It’s just… movies aren’t my thing.
I prefer the products of my imagination over somebody else’s.
Now about me...
Need a hobby to kick start back into my life. While nothing is as awesome as being with my friends, I just need something I can devote myself to. Even when you’re friends are awesome, intelligent and good looking…
;)
I need something to think about. Football season seems forever and ever away, and so does getting a decent computer. The only other option is you know… doing...
Day 22 - How have you changed in the past two...
This is certainly a big question. Fun!
Physically, not much. Still skinny as all hell, lanky at 6ft nothing. But in all other aspects… my god.
I’m far more mature, yet more immature at the same time. I’m far more confident, which can be both a blessing and a curse. That said, still a shy kid, especially around people I don’t know well. Still morbidly shy with some aspects...
Counter
Every time I see deep lyrics posted, mostly from hardcore music, I’m going to revenge post. With rap.
Bring it bitches.
Oh, also, fuck maths =D

– Runaway - Kanye West
Too polite.
Okay
I know what a monkey saddle is. I saw an image of a monkey saddle and went, “That’s a monkey saddle!” I was right. Math is essentially ruining my life.
Day 21 - One of your favorite shows.
It’s actually day 21, so HA.
But, unfortunately, this one is a boring question. Mostly because I don’t have one. Sure, I enjoy scrubs, How I met your mother, etc etc. This is due to my sister getting into these shows before the hype.
Man I’m so indeh.
But as much as I enjoy these shows, I’m not a devoted fan. I enjoy shows such as GNW but again, no biggie if I miss it....

Day 20 - How important you think education is.
Education is very important. Not only does it teach you important skills, like math and literacy, it also delves into a love of learning.
Now, education is important, but I feel learning is far more important. There’s a subtle but important difference between the two. Education is learning, but learning isn’t always education. Education is learning that is taught. As in classes, or...
Here one day....
We all want to be so damn irreplaceable. Like the moon or the sun. We don’t want to be one of those distant stars, flickering an eternity away. No, we want to be a crucial gear, something that’s depended on, someone important. When we are with others, we want to be the center of that solar system, so much so that when we leave, it collapses. It give us that guilty run of pleasure to...
Day 19 - Disrespecting your parents.
I have a feeling everybody does.
When I was younger, one or two years, I was a lot worse. I’ve gotten better now, but I clash with my mother often.
The problem is this. I’m lazy and have, let us say, no interest in cleaning. Plus I’m easily distracted, so I’ll be told to clean something, and get distracted. This leads to her shouting at me, then I’ll get annoyed....
From the coast.
While up at Noosa, I jotted this down:
Don’t complain about or be sorry for all the negative ramifications of a good decision. If you don’t regret the decision itself, and it was made for sound reasons you agree with, any induced suffering is just payment. If you where faced with the same situation and would make the same decision regardless of all the bad stuff that was inherited in...
Day 18 - Your beliefs
I wrote this up and guess what? Another wall of text. Considering last nights one, I’ll spare you.
I’m not religious, but I guess i’m spiritual. There’s lots of advice I could give, but the best is treat other how you want to be treated. Jesus was on the money about that one. Because ultimately, that’s true.
The way you treat others will polarize the way they treat...
Day 17 - Your highs and lows of the past year.
Holy cow it’s been a while. Lets get back into the rhythm of things. On goes the thinking cap!
Instead of listing highs and lows, I’ll go through 2010 briefly.
Started off excellently at Tay Tay’s NYE partay, where I met a lot of rad people, people who I then had no idea would be a big part of my life. Couple days later, break up. Again. So the month got worse, and I stayed...
Spite; the great motivator.
Proving other that they where wrong about you, that they underestimated you. Vanity not for vanity’s sake, rather a means to an end.
And it’s not in spite of them, those who doubted you. That would be stupid, doing it for them. No, the spite is directed at yourself. That person who listened to them, assessed yourself, and found you wanting.
When you see...
Well...
queuing posts doesn’t work, I’m a couple of days behind now. Damn.
Day 16 - Your views on mainstream music
This question annoys me. So let bring it. Start Rant. What the hell is mainstream music? It’s certainly not a genre, I’ve checked.
“Mainstream” is a label that apparently means that the band is talentless, and popular for no reason. And it’s usually said by kids who listen to angsty hardcore and metal. Now this isn’t a dig at your music, as I listen to that...

Day 15 - Your favorite Tumblrs
Don’t really have one. There is this one about math which is cool, but other then that. I don’t use Tumblr to reblog inane shit, rather to add my own, angsty, inane shit.
Day 14 - Your earliest memory.
I have early memory’s, but I’m not sure which is the earliest. I remember when my grandmother was in Australia, barely. I also remember parts of the beginning of school. I certainly remember when two kids nicked my bag and threw it over my head repeatedly. Assholes.
But there is no sequence to these memories. They’re just fragments, like freeze frames rather then a coherent...
Day 13 - Somewhere you'd like to move or visit.
Firstly, I’d love to explore as much of the world as I can, but if that is not possible… Two places I would like to visit / move to for at least a couple of years. London: Have English heritage, which firstly makes it easier. First attraction is the culture. Second is employment. Third is the Premier League and my favorite club, West Ham United. Whether they are in the...

Day 10 - Discuss your first love and your first...
Man, this is like a slumber party! Both fortunately and unfortunately, these questions are intertwined.
Firstly, I’m going to communicate in a way that doesn’t require me to hand in my man card.
My first kiss was kinda late, all things considered. As in I was already well into 16. This is both due to shyness, and a lack of understanding about girls. And the fact I’m socially...
Does Queuing posts work?
Lets find out.

Day [9] - How you hope your future will be like.
Firstly, day[9] is amazing. The reason I watch starcraft.
Anyway…
My future? Well I want to explore the world, live in London and Chicago for significant periods of time. And eventually I want to move so a place where it always snows, away from people, in a log cottage, and live self sufficiently. Most of all, I want it to be exciting, interesting, and to make me happy.
As long as all of...

Day 8 - A moment you felt the most satisfied with...
I can’t think of “The Most” satisfying moment. Sure, I have plenty of moments in my life, a hell of a lot of moments, where I’ve been, hells yes. Whether it’s finishing an artwork, or scoring a goal, I feel satisfied all the time.
But nothing stands out being more awesome then all the rest.
Think you're wasting your time?
Wasting your day, that the endless hours eventuate to nothing? Learn something. Every single day. Go on, call it a dare if you will. But a day not learning is a day wasted. I plan to learn till I die, and then some.
It doesn’t have to be useful, it can be trivial. It could be something about a friend, or something about yourself. Could be a skill, such as a handstand, or learning how to...
Day 7 - Your Zodiac sign and if you think it fits...
This is probably the stupidest question, but eh. Bored.
I’m a Gemini, not letting you peeps on to what my exact date of birth is, those who know me know it, others, it’s really unimportant.Upon reading the Gemini description, you notice that the description is so broad, that it’s bound do describe any aspect of anyones personality.
If you want my personality, try INFP in the...
Day 6 / Day 1 - Your current relationship, if...
I’m single. I have been for roughly 7 months, though the exact date I started single life is a contentious issue.
Single life? I’m not sure if I’m doing single life right, as I should have stories of drunken hookups and bad mistakes. But I don’t roll that way, I’m a bit of a angsty motherfucker. I enjoy my space and my privacy, and I’m never confident around...
