DON'T BE AN IDI ...
I never thought I'd have to write a post like this but with 2016 going the way it did it's not much of a surprise to me. In the early morning on 20th December 2016 my Nan sadly passed away. Luckily, well I say luckily, it wasn't sudden. She had been ill for a while so I had time to prepare myself. A part of me was naive thinking that she would get better. But that's what we do when we're hit with news so tragic, we ...
It's December... and where has the time gone? So December is here and the year is almost coming to an end. And I bet you're wondering where the heck 2016 has gone. I doubt you're the only one. Don't worry, I'm here to shed some light on the situation and make you understand the wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff. 1. January 2016 - You probably spent the first month of the year ...
Is being loyal not wanting to get with anyone else or resisting to get with anyone else?
I don't actually know where I stand on this but hopefully that becomes more apparent as I write this post. It's a tough cookie to crack because can you only be attracted to one person for the rest of your life. I don't think so, no matter how much you love your other half you're not going to stop finding other girls attractive. Now whether this means you want to get with these people is another story.
In order for us to answer the question we must first define what "not wanting to" means. Does it mean not wanting to because you're in a relationship or not wanting to simply because you don't want to. A lot of people believe that because you're in a relationship you shouldn't want to get with anyone else. And this is fair enough... when you look at it from surface level. But if you dig a little deeper, firstly no matter how deep your love or how good the sex can you really expect your other half to not have a wondering eye from the billions of other people on the planet? And on top of this you won't even know if they've even thought about getting with anyone else, so as long as they're satisfying your needs everyone's happy right? You're not a bad person for maybe wanting to get with other people when your in a relationship because it's honestly impossible to have that physical attraction to just one person. As for love, that's a completely different story but it's because you love the person you're with that you don't even go there.
But then you can argue "why do people cheat on the partners that they claim to love?" Well simple answer is that they don't love them. But a more complex thought is that they may love their partner but the attraction is just too much and sometimes this does transcend "love" for some people. I mean you're in the moment, your partner isn't there, you're with a really attractive boy/girl it may be hard for you to say no. However if you really do love your other half then you'll realise that 2 minutes of pleasure probably isn't worth it. A big reason for why people want to stay single is because they can't comprehend the idea of committing both physically and emotionally to one person for an extended period of time. Let's not kid ourselves it is a big deal which is why I respect not only people in relationships but people who have been in them for years. Not to say that I'm off throwing myself at a different girl every week but the idea of a relationship is still a scary prospect for me.
Now I touched briefly on the idea of resisting which is pretty much what it is. This is perhaps much more common form of loyalty. And even though the idea of it seems disloyal, is it really. Not wanting to and resisting both ultimately have the same result, does the method really matter? On the flip side if you were to tell your partner that you wanted to get with this person but you "resisted" I can't imagine they'd be too happy. Let's not be naive to the fact that this is how most of us stay loyal. If we could we'd love to get with everyone we found attractive without any consequences but this is not how the world works. Resistance does take strength and loyalty and showing that to one person is a pretty big deal. It's just important to know that your other half isn't messing around with anyone else BECAUSE of you. But then again what do I know?
Relationships are pretty much one big mind game and its your job to play whether you like it or not...
I don't know what world you're living in mate, but where I come from cats are pussies. Now I'm not one to judge. I don't care for Halloween so therefore don't really care what you dress up as but why is there now a tradition that dressing up as cats is an acceptable Halloween costume? Halloween is another American custom that we've seem to have picked up over here but the ...
Who wakes up and says I want to sell houses for a living? Have you ever been house hunting? If you've been to uni you probably have unless your uni accommodates 2nd and 3rd years. Anyway that's not the point. The point of this post is how much of a circus getting a new place is. Talk about pushy... you make one little enquiry online and the next thing you know you're being ...
For a while I didn't even know... I started writing this blog around 2 and a half years ago. I had no expectations, no goal and no idea what I was doing. Heck, I still don't know what I'm doing but it's been a mad ride since then and if one thing in my life has been consistent it's this blog. The posts I write now are the same as I wrote way back in 2014, well I mean hopefully ...
Say cheese... You know when you see a photo of someone, especially when it's someone you don't know, you just look at what's there. Maybe they're smiling, maybe they're not, perhaps they're nicely dressed or maybe its a selfie first thing in the morning. Photos represent what we look like at one minuscule moment in time. We will never look like that again nor will we ever ...
You hot heads always running your mouth... Well of course arguments are unavoidable. They spring up on us even at the most unlikely of times. We argue with people we love and people we hate which means your next argument is just round the corner... or is it? No it is... but still we can try and not expel energy on such a pointless act. Arguments normally start from a disagreement ...
The next station is... Do you ever look at someone when you're on the train and just try and guess their story. Why are they on this train right now? Where have they been, where are they going? It's crazy thinking about it. Every one you see is on their own personal journey... just like you. Where have you come from? Where exactly are you going? You don't know? Neither do ...
Another major city checked off the list I don’t know how many of you guys have been to Liverpool but it’s quite the place. I mean the only reference I have for Liverpool is the football club and their motto “You’ll never walk alone” which is actually pretty good advice when I found myself walking the streets of Liverpool at midnight. But I guess it’s not all that bad, it ...
I can't believe the last post I left you guys on was that nonsense haha... still funny though. I guess you guys should be used to this by now. Me leaving for an entire summer, well in case you didn't realise I did it again and it was good... great in fact. It does feel good to be back though to a certain extent. I mean I like being here with all my clothes and air conditioning ...
Oh no, not that kind of "crunch". So you know sometimes so much stuff is happening but you're not really sure what you should be doing. No? Oh... well I'm going through that right now. I know I have stuff to do, but I still don't know what to do. It's a weird feeling and it's frustrating but I guess that's life. Right now, I feel like I am at a pivotal time... I want ...
Restriction is for free trials and lite versions of stuff... I have recently decided to completely remove jeans from my wardrobe. Why? That's an interesting question, but the real question is "Why haven't I done this already?". Jeans are just the go to lower half of body wear. But really why? I think we've all been heavily deluded. For starters, this ones more for guys. The ...
No quips, no jokes, I'm just going to tell you whats going down. So I am probably the most busy I have been in my whole 21 years on this planet. I was gonna make a video about this but I want to update you guys as soon as possible and this is the quickest way to do that. So firstly, I produced my first live action film which was a mad experience. Its currently in it's second ...
Oh snap, it's been over a month since I wrote on this thing. I feel like I always start these posts the same why. Feed you all the same rubbish "haven't posted in a while, that's going to change blah blah blah". Nothing changes. I'm still the same unreliable guy I've always been. But I have been busy, Masters is no walk in the park you know. I feel like I've been a bit serious ...
No, I haven't won an Oscar... not yet anyways. I realised that I hadn't posted in a while. I hope you weren't too worried about me, I swear I'm fine. Who am I kidding? You definitely don't care but I'm going to try and post a bit more regularly, which actually means nothings going to change and I'm actually going to be worse than before. I think as we get older ...
Frames are hard to break... So my new years resolution was to get my sh*t together and basically have a better outlook on life and like most new years resolutions have I kept to it?... HAVE I 'ECK. To be fair the year started off pretty well I felt I was in a good place mentally, professionally not quite physically (although this is something I want to work on) but all ...
