I've got to go out in half an hour, I'm playing golf for the first time in weeks, I'm not really looking forward to it but I know as soon as I get there, I'll be perfectly happy.
I got the urge to write a blog after I heard a song that's supposed to be funny, but I thought it was completely heartbreaking at the same time.
Have you ever heard of Tim Minchin? My friend told me about him a couple of days ago and now I absolutely love him and his music. He's a comedian, singer songwriter and his songs are hilarious. Apart from this one.

"I spend most of my time hating it but it never says a bad word about me." I can't tell you how much that made me think.
Anyway, this blog isn't a tribute to Tim Minchin. I wanted to talk about blogging and how often people do it. I try to write a blog at least twice a month. If I have an ideas and I don't have time to write the full thing, I save them for whenever I have time to write. It always works for me too.
But I know lots of people that say "I'm going to blog every day", do it for a few weeks and then forget about it and change their minds. Maybe they just don't have the time they thought they would have, or the ideas.
Either way, they don't stay loyal to what they've said. I can't really understand that, because if they're not doing it for themself, who are they doing it for? Surely staying true to yourself is the most important thing to stay true to.
I wouldn't tell everyone I was going to write every day. People don't know I like writing. I couldn't say I was going to do something everyday and then not keep to it. Well, maybe apart from one thing. But not writing. So I make no promises on how often my blogs will come out. Although, until university at least, I'll try and keep them fairly regular, like I have for this year.
I've got to go. But you'll be sure to hear from me soon because I just had about four ideas!
Keep blogging. Stay true!

Time.
It seems like ages and ages since I last wrote on here, but in fact, it hasn't been that long at all. A coouple of weeks, maybe three? I can't remember because of how long ago it seems. The past two weeks have been two bad weeks for me. I kept recieving bad news after bad news and had to sort out things, get organised, do work, get everything done that people have been nagging at me constantly to do and at the same time I haven't been too well.
Time. People say there's loads of time, that we shouldn't worry. But as soon as it comes to it and the deadlines are getting nearer, everyone starts going mental because you're not nearly done and it stresses you and them out, but there's nothing you can do because you're trying really hard t get whatever it is done but you can't seem to, and no-one seems to be able to help.
University choices are really stressing me out at the moment. I can't decide where I want to go. Only two places stand out for me and I need five. I feel like saying if I don't get accepted to the two I like then I'm going to just apply again next year. Everyone I know is sending off their UCAS application forms, or are nearly there. I haven't even finished my personal statement yet, my choices aren't done, the grade entry requirements seems way too high and all in all I really don't feel like anywhere would want to accept me anyway.
I've always wanted to leave, get away from this place and go to university, but now there's only a year to go and I'm doubting whether I even want to leave home now. All of my friends and family are going to be here, home, safe and sound and living the normal and easy life they know, when I'll be in the middle of a town or city that I've only visited once doing a course I'm not sure I want to do in a place where I know noone... And I'll probably feel further away from home than ever.
Times "flies when you're having fun". Everyone knows that saying. And everyone knows that times seems to slow down when you're not having fun.... When you're having a really bad or maybe just boring time. It goes so slowly. Why is that? I would really like to know. It's time. It doesn't actually change. It's something to do with the mind and how we feel pyschologically about it. I don't know. But it's annoying anyway.
Everything changes, sometimes so quickly that you don't even know what happened, you missed the moment that something went wrong, or right or just simply changed for you. I strongly believe with "going with the flow". I know sometimes that is impractical and maybe unwise, but changing things now for the future seems pointless to me because you never know what is going to happen. You should work how you want, when you want to. Live like for the here and now because who knows what's going to happen tomorrow? It's always a wise thing to keep an eye on the future so that you know there is somewhere to go once tomorrow comes, and if there is a goal you want to achieve then you should definitely work towards that goal.
Time. Who knows what do to with it? Take things as they come. Live for the here and now. What more can you do?

Discrimination.
This week I've been feeling like having a bit of rant and a moan. You see, when someone rubs me up the wrong way, or I strongly disagree with something someone has said or doen, I'm not afraid to tell them that I think they're wrong. Now I understand everyone's entitled to their own opinion - I think everyone should, it's important that every child growing up learns to have and voice their own opinion - but if their opinion will upset, hurt or discrimate someone that it should not be heard.
I've taken PE as an A level, and in one of our lessons recently we were discussing "state and trait" personalities. "State and Trait" is when you feel one way about something and in a normal situation you were act like you wanted to, for example if you were discussing racism or homosexuals or something that maybe be offensive to someone like that with a friend, you could voice your true opinion and your friend may disagree but nothign would come about it. The other side to this, however, is if you're put in a different situation, for example, say you had to write an article for a newspaper or do a speech at a school, you would act and write how you think you should, without voicing your true opinion incase in influenced others to feel or at this way. This is true for most people, and there is definately a time and a place for everything.
What the problem with everything? Why is it a problem is someone is white and someone else isn't? There is not need to any kind of racism. The thng that annoys me the most is if someone is sexist. I cannot sttand sexist men who think they're better that females. They're egotistical, annoying and they always thing they can do things 10 times better than woman when the majority of the time the can't. For this reason, when women and sexist about men, I usually defend men because it's hypocrital of me otherwise.
Any kind of inequality, homophobics, sexism, racism, any other kind of phobic or ism. There's just no need. If they're not the same race as you, that's not their fault, and they shouldn't be treated differently because of it. If they want to be gay, or a greebo or a chav or just different from you in any way, just let them! It's their choice to be who they are, just as it's your choice to be who you are.
And why do we have to keep changing the phrases of things so that they're policitally correct? It gets so confusing, there seems to be a new phrase or term every week. In my opinion, it's ridiculous. We've been studying language change in English Language. I'm sorry if I'm ever politically incorrect but I can't seem to keep up.
I tend to speak my mind and tell people how they feel. But I don't do it out of place. Sometimes it is better - and easier - to hold you emotions in, let them out in a different way, not by telling the person how you feel but maybe by playing a sport, punching a pillow or singing your heart out for a while.
But sometimes people can't learn and improve if they don't know what it is they're doing wrong. As long as you're not too harsh, too mean and you give someone constructive criticism, or you tell them you opinion in a fir argument while taking into consideration their point of view, then there is no problem.
I love writing blogs. This is the way I release my emotion.
Oh and maybe singing my heart out every now and again. That kind of works for me.
