You should never take life seriously because you'll never get out alive. Easier said than done don't you think? Now if you are someone that knows me, I am sure that if I asked you to sum me up in one word, that word would be 'joker'. Which for the most part would certainly be true, I love the sound of laughter whether it's mine or someone else's. I don't think there is a better sound, its infectious. You can't help but join in. Tell me? Can you say that if you see a baby laugh, you don't crack a smile.
But Recently I have been feeling down, Now I am not gonna bore with the details. To be honest in the grand scale of things its very trivial. But it gets you thinking doesn't it? Whats it all about? We slog day in and day out, and for what? A wage that barely gets us by and to pay taxes to government that just squanders our money. How did we come to this routine? You look back and you always think (no matter how old you are!) the olden days were better.
What has happened to community spirit? Chivalry? I really believe in these things, Treat others how you would like to be treated. But I am starting to get depressed with the way of things. I asked an eldery women if she needed help the other day, she said no and I could see in her eyes the suspicion and fear. It makes me sick! Instead of helping our fellow man, we are prewired to be cautious of everyone and everything.
So I have decided to throw out a challenge to you all. I want you to help someone who is need, even if it is just holding a door open. If we all do something nice for each other maybe we can make the world a better place instead of relying on someone else to do it for us. Lets make our short trip on this Earth a worthwhile one.

Television: Where did it all go wrong?
So here we are in the middle media boom! Technology has progessed so far that we can now actually make our wildest and dreams a reality. CGI, 3D, HD and Blu-ray to name a few have revolutionised our viewing experience, but has anyone else noticed that we are watching complete and utter sh*t?
Tv is getting dumber and dumber everyday, and I am beginning to wonder if I am the only one that has noticed it. Now I know its not all bad and there are still some pretty good shows out there, but can you honestly say that there has been shows as good as tv of old? Lets have a look at the main criminals of todays tv....
Big Brother
When Big Brother started the premise was genius, a social experiment to see how people act when they are seperated from the rest of the world. But as the years roll by, Its now become a group of wannabes and morons locked away with people hoping they see someone have sex. Wells here's my advice instead of watching this crap there is plenty of porn out there!
Geordie Shore
You have got to be kidding me? Who the F**k is stupid enough to be watching this? How did it get approved for a second series? If you do watch this show and are reading this. Thank you because you are actually slowing down human evolution with your stupidy....
Made In Chelsea
A prime example why stupid people shouldn't have money. They are sheltered and ignorant. Put them all in a boat and then sink it. Now I would watch that!
X Factor
This again was a very clever show, unfortunately Simon Cowell saw The £££ signs and all integrity of the program has died. If they had ended it 3 years ago we would be looking back with fond memories but instead they have bled it dry and we will only remember the poisoned husk it has become. It also help pave the way for some truly awful reality competition shows.
The Only Way is Essex
The Devil of all tv shows! Paris Hilton fell from favouritism and we thought all young girls were safe from being told its cool to be a slag. Then along comes this crap, with 'vajazzles' and god only knows what else! It makes a mockery of Essex, I am sure there are some intelligent and interesting people in Essex but why don't they show more of them instead of these self obessed morons. The producers make the county look like the place where idiots are born. It has now come to my attention that they are turning it into a film. Satan does exist and he's from Essex...
I reckon I will get alot of stick for this but can you honestly disagree with me? I am biased but this isn't impartial, its my views. Look back and see the great shows we used to have Only Fools and Horses, The Generation Game, Dads Army, Porridge. The list goes on, and they are all timeless classics. And they always bring a smile to my face. Thats the tv I miss....

Relationships: A Game Where Nobody Knows The Rules...
Are you ready? Because today is a big one relationships!
Oh yes the one thing we think we know all about but really haven't a clue. This isn't a bashing from a miserable single guy, (which technically I am!) but there are some things that need to be addressed. The things we all think but never say.
So lets cut to the chase. I love being in a relationship, I love having someone to spoil. That someone that whenever you think about them you can't stop smiling. Its a great thing I love being romantic. But people always seem to forget that there is work involved. And there is, so let us take a moment to dissect these fallacies.
Love at First Sight
To put it bluntly there is no such thing. (unless you are a friend of mine who wants to marry every girl he looks at!) What you get is lust at first sight, love is something that happens over time. Funnily enough thats why its called falling in love, because it happens the over time it isn't instant. Where you get confused is that when that special moment happens and you realise you love them, you forget ever not loving them. (the same is applied to breaking up, you feel like you can never not love them but over time you forget why you did).
I Will Never Hurt You
If anyone and I mean anyone says this to you immediately kick them in the shin and tell them to grow up! People hurt each other it happens. 9 times out of 10 you probably don't mean to. People also argue, get over it! Things get said in the heat of the moment and you hurt the feelings of the person you love, So what? If the love is there it shouldn't matter, you go away; calm down; and then realise that argument was meaningless. If you can't then perhaps the relationship isn't right.
Making Them Suffer
Whats the f**king point? Listen very carefully and you might save yourself some tears, If your partner has the balls to apologise after an argument, have the balls to accept it. In one relationship it all went tits up because we were both too stubborn to say sorry first, and then when one of us did instead of accepting it, we would be a dick about it!
Having Their Cake and Eating It
If you catch your partner cheating, DON'T give them another chance. You only make yourself look stupid. The great line "its the biggest mistake I ever made" is bullsh*t. If they truly loved you they wouldn't risk what you have, the fact that they did proves how little they thought of you, and they certainly don't deserve your love.
Honesty
It really is the best policy. Again to lean on an old relationship, I had a girlfriend who wouldn't tell me when she was upset or if something was wrong. I Hated the not knowing, you want to help but they shut you out. Then I got angry for being in the dark, which leads to arguments etc etc. You don't have spill your guts out but just the outline to help make your partner understand will go along way. Again if you can't trust them with your feelings perhaps the relationship isn't right.
So I know we could go so much deeper but I can't sit here all day writing this crap! Its pretty much common sense. Love is a game of give and take. No relationship is perfect or easy but why should it be? Easy is boring. Working to make something special like a great love story should be a challenge.
Instead of wasting time chasing a pot of gold, sit down and enjoy the rainbow.....

Ok here goes!
Hi everyone,So I have decided to write a blog, why I here you ask? Well I guess I feel like I have a lot of stuff I need to get out. Some of it will make you laugh, so might make you cry, who knows?
If even just one person reads one of my blogs and it helps them in some way, it makes it all worthwhile.
I don't really know what I am going to talk about, perhaps everyday things. I might even go all the way and have a rant about politics (because lets be honest, everyone loves a good rant!)
So let us begin. I really do have something to get off my chest, to some it won't make sense but to others I am sure will know exactly what I mean. Last night I found something out, something I didn't really want to know. Its kind of ironic because if I was perhaps a bit more ignorant I would of never noticed that something was out of place....
First of all its no great drama and I only felt that horrible feeling you get in the pit of your stomach for a split second and then it was gone. But it did get me thinking about bad news and how we react to it, because the list of ways is endless. Some people like to bottle it up, others ignore it and go about there day as if there is no problem, some prefer the tried and tested blowing a fuse, but lets be honest that never gets you anywhere!
Myself I am a talker. I can't keep things inside, if I do they eat away at me. ( I don't know what the medical term is, but I am sure they have coined it somewhere!) I am also (as some of you are well aware) very impatient, for me sometimes a minute really does last a lifetime. Its one of my insecurities, I think it stems from the way I react around people. Even when I know otherwise, I always have a massive fear that people will just lose interest in me over time so I have to get it all out before that moment! (Sorry if you are one of the people that have been affected by this problem, and I know there are quite a few!) But I digress, back to the point....
Bad news also comes in many forms, sometimes it a little thing you can shrug your shoulders to.
Others aren't so little. Some people think breaking bad news is straightforward you tell someone the facts of a situation. But anyone who has a higher intelligence then a goat knows that bad news can be an emotional bomb just waiting to blow. Even medical science says that bad news if strong enough can cause a physical reaction.
So the first thing I did was talk about it to a friend I work with, he didn't say much, he didn't need too. Its not the advice I am looking for, its that I had someone that I could trust and that would listen to me. Then it hit me CRASH BANG WALLOP. I never realised how lucky I am in life. I have a great group of friends that I know I can always count on and trust with my life. I also have a family that support me in everything I do ( even when it quite possibly the stupid things I have done. which 9 times out of 10 is!) So to you people and you know who are! Thank you.
So this is my little lesson for you people, if your feeling down or upset and you usually keep it to yourself trying talking to someone. And if you are with someone that is upset or angry, why don't you try listening to them, be a shoulder. What have you got to lose?
If even just one person reads one of my blogs and it helps them in some way, it makes it all worthwhile.
