When a kiss isn't just a kiss.



Times Square. 1945.
The Dream: A sailor sees his beautiful girlfriend. He grabs her from behind and he kisses her in the most spontaneous romantic way. 
The Hope: A sailor sees a beautiful nurse and can't resist the urge to grab her from behind and kiss her. They end up falling in love. 
The Reality: A sailor sees a beautiful nurse and decides he'll kiss her because he can. She slaps him and they never see each other after that day again


No-one quite knows what happened that day. Lets just hope the spontaneity of the kiss is still the base of all romance today. Who's to say life isn't one big dream anyway?

One in a million

 6,893,748,892 Is the amount of people in the world right this second.
 If we're all 1 in a Million then there are 6,894 people just like us...


 How often has the phrase "Finding yourself" been used in our world? I wonder how much it was used just today? 
"I need to find myself" 
"You can't be found until your lost"
As true as these phrases are someone once asked me "What happens if you get so lost that you can't be found?". And right then I found a problem in the philosophy I had been following, what if you did get so lost you couldn't be found? What if being lost isn't okay. What happens when you "find yourself" Then what do you do with life? 


After talking to an uncle of mine about travelling and how i wanted to see everything i could  possibly see, do everything i could possibly do and find who i was, he looked at me and said "I agree you should. But you'll never find yourself because you have to create yourself" And everything began to make perfect sense again. You can NEVER stop learning about who you are and what you like and what you do. Okay, so your a little lost... who isn't? One bad day, or one bad weekend doesn't change who you are, or where you want to go. It's how you deal with that changes what you make of life. 



 6,893,748,892 Is the amount of people in the world right this second.
 If we're all 1 in a Million then there are 6,894 people just like us...
But your not 1 in a Million are you? Because there is only 1 YOU. 



And what would life be with out a little rough and tumble anyway? ;)

Isn't it Ironic

♫♪It's like rain on your wedding day 
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought ... it figures 
♫♪



Alanis Morissette was a singer / song writer most recognised in the 90's. This is one her most famous songs and its called Ironic. This song has many meanings, for example reading on the internet some people think its not meant to be ironic at all. However, i think the song is really inspiring. To me it talks about how things happen, you have to live the moment and you can't let these things bring you down. Below are some of the best versus in the song in my opinion. What does it mean to you?


♪ An old man turned ninety-eight 
He won the lottery and died the next day 
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay 
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late 
Isn't it ironic ... don't you think 

♪ Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly 
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye 
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight 
And as the plane crashed down he thought 
'Well isn't this nice...' 
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think 

How many songs do you know that talks about how bad things can happen yet it is a feel good song? This song is amazing because it describes how things can go wrong but you've just got to enjoy it and live in the moment.  The gift of music <3

Some stories make us laugh, some stories make us cry. But isn't that the makings of a good story? Something that makes us feel

So much to say, so little time.

About a year a half ago I wrote a song called "I'll do it tomorrow". It's a song about how people always say "oh I'll do that tomorrow" when in fact tomorrow is never reality because it's always a day away. The moral of the song was to do things in the moment and not to leave things until later because chances are they'll never get done. When I completed the song I was so happy with the moral, and even happier that I thought I had given inspiration to the world to do things before its too late and you end up somewhere you don't want to be with no idea how you got there. When in fact the song really predicted my next year and half of Sixth Form life "oh it's ok, I'll do that homework tomorrow" "Hmmm, that coursework isn't in till next month, i'll do it next week".The reality was, I fell behind with no idea how it happened. 
 I know what i want and I'm not afraid to admit I've lost my way a little this year. I can guarantee I am not the only one and if your reading this, neither are you. Whether you've lost your way in school, your job, your personal life or love life: and it feels like time is running out and there is no fight left and your drowning in your own thoughts... you've still got to fight. "You never how STRONG you are until being strong is the only choice you have" 
 I've only just realised what i want with less than a week left before life changing events, will i give up? Hell no, I'm going to fight for what i want and hope that i get it. Because in this world what else can we fight for if not for hope? I've always found that finding the strength to get what you want is the easy part.... its knowing what you want that's the hard part. 

Yesterdays the past. Today is a gift, that's why its the present. And tomorrow is where our dreams lie. 

So people of the internet, i leave you with this: 

" The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me." 
Ayn Rand
