“You eat the bar, and well sometimes the bar eats you”

Ten points and a gold star to anyone getting that quote

Recent lessons include:

Don’t drink cheap vodka.

We all have our obsessions, but you don’t have to let them have you.

Sometimes you just have to accept not knowing.

Good deeds sometimes don’t go unpunished.

Be honest and if you spot yourself being dishonest with yourself don’t ignore it.

Smile, tomorrow is another day.

And I’ll leave you with this image of good advice

…Can’t find time to blog -_-

Next fortnight will be working three locations to clean, two of which start VERY early. One supermarket was okay with me being there at 6 since it’s quite small, but the bigger one would prefer me to be there at 4! and to be honest i’d make life easier as the cleaning is tricky while customers are floating about.

But I doubt most days i’ll be making it at that time, will give it a jolly good try though since you’ve got to exceed the position you are currently in and do your level best in whatever you spend your time on

Sorry for delays and crappy posts, I know I know i’ve gotten boring…but thats work for ya…

Currently in Glasgow just about to go for a college interview

To the anonymous secret writer who always posts the ‘saintblue is so handsome but doesn’t seem to know it’ secret…
Today I reckon you’re right lol

Facts, Habits or Goals.

Was tagged into this by @Endless21Echos

1: I want to teach, though i’m not sure if I want to do traditional teaching or Montessori Method.

2: I’m off for a College interview on the 15th :O and I have two other colleges that have replied to my applications with interviews this month.

3: Got my very first official job last month, up until then i’d always worked for myself.

4: I have to cycle roughly 20 miles a day to get in and out for work.

5: I’m currently listening to Korean Pop music

6: I’d like to travel still, mainly to Asia and perhaps NZ

7: As per my request at the start of this year, everything seems to be changing. Has sort of left me feeling a bit out of place.

8: Still figuring out all the complexities of being in a relationship which only just started this year too, all very confusing and distracting lol

9: I have the habit of calling out a Danish guys name everytime I cycle past his place on my way home lol I just say it to myself since he has a good saying name

10: My job is cleaning a small super market and a bank, and thanks to several underlying OCD tendencies i’m really rather enjoying it. I do however have to keep aware those tendencies stay underlying lol

11: Never imagined moving nor living in a populated area, but given my teaching hopes i’m starting to see myself living in Edinburgh. I recently visited there and it is a lovely city.

12: Rather than making me use them more as I thought, getting an iphone made me use social networks much less o.O

Gonna have to call it a day on 12 I think, can’t think of anymore right now lol if you fancy joining in feel free

This is a Word Challenge/Game by @nushirox2 or at least she was the one who tagged me so i’m assuming it was hers.

We’ve taken to trivializing our language and words, using the extremes to somehow get more out of our expressions and conversation, perhaps it is the natural tendency of humans to push the boundries or maybe we just think it’s funny

So the game is to pick 6 words that I have been mis-using and trivializing…shouldn’t be hard I doubt :/

Lets start with Incredible. This is supposed to be something impossible to believe, but I believe almost everything so that can’t be used right

Then Outstanding. Mainly I just use this because Harry Solomon from Third Rock from the Sun used it

Or what about Fabulous. This should be saved for when you walk into the hanging gardens of Babylon, not for a really nice sandwich.

Even such things as Terrible. Nothing Terrible has ever happened to me I doubt, and to be honest i’m quite glad of that, it must be extremely, shockingly terror causing to count as terrible according to the definition.

Okay so I might over use it sometimes, but actually the word Wonderful. Fits just right when you are seeing something like the Aurora in the middle of a frosty clear night. But not so much for anything that falls short of inspiring delight.

And finally the vastly over used and wildly out of context Crazy. I can use this word to mean LOADS of different things none of which even come close to the real meaning lol

I love eloquence in both written and spoken language, so I tend to play around with words and speech just to make pretty sounds. But when you have the pleasure of listening to or reading someone who fully and intelligently grasps their language it is always a treat, so I agree that the safe guarding of our words and their true meanings is an important lesson to keep.

As for my Tag targets hmm…

When spring forgot to spring and winter held on and on…

When the hills caught fire and the blue skies wouldn’t rain…

When the sun rose it found everything had changed, but it’s used to that.

For almost a year now my blog has been bombarded with footprints from California.

Day after day after day after day all I see is ‘California’ it stops if I go onto sign in lock I think, or maybe friend lock.

But I don’t want to let this persistent Californian Bot to win, does anyone have a solution?

Time for some random images of things that make me happy

First this guy, found him on a stock image site searching for ‘joy’ kinda looks fun

RAGE on the Xbox, awesome game

The little crappy toys you get in Kindergarten Eggs :] yeah they are for kids, but I still love em

This guy and also Instagram and Halftone on the Iphone  

As many of my friends and followers may have noticed i’ve not been around much

Sorry about that but having spent quite a long time making it my full time occupation to do nothing, now I have to actually exert some sort of control over my time I find i’m not that good at managing it lol so things have had to slip through the cracks, such as my copious social network time.

But it’s all paid off in a way, since the life that I had (and was rather tired of) is slowly changing.

So far the Royal Hotel didn’t fancy hiring me, nor did the Royal Bank, or the Tourist Board. But the Mitie Cleaning company certainly did!

It may only be cleaning and may require me to wake a a truly ungodly hour to hitchhike into town ready for 6 o’clock but it is my very first official job and so far is working out very nicely for me.

However the reason for this post is slightly more aimed at one specific person rather than to announce anything or show signs of life on my poor blog.

Over the period of my Xanga absence a very good friend decided to leave this site and close her page. She warned me of this idea before doing it infact. Sadly I was suffering from a really nasty case of food poisoning (one i’m still not over if i’m honest) and thus couldn’t quite find the inspiration to respond in time, I did respond but having just checked now I fear my response will never be read as her site is gone as are all the other locations I knew she existed online.

I would be hurt very deeply to have lost such a friend and pray that somehow she does get back in touch or reads this.

I’d also like to ask that if anyone knew Emily and still has contact with her to ask on my behalf for her to get in touch. I understand if she doesn’t and certainly don’t intend to harass or pursue her if she wants to leave Xanga and our friendship behind but it’s important enough to me that I’d like to do what I can to stay in touch. 

Thank you

And now I’ll get back to another unique thing, my very first Sunday that I can officially think of as a free day :] 

Lets let our flags fly today

And for me thats most definitely the freak flag. Thanks to thier song Jerk it Out I got hooked on the Caesars who are somekind of early English punk rock type band by the sounds of them. Nice and rocky but not going too far

So this is one of my faves, though not my top of the list…but sadly not many of their songs can be found online.
