The Joys Of Sport!
Just back from another successful badminton match with another few wins under my belt and I feel damn good about it! I really wonder what I would do with out sport.
I engage in several of them for recreational and social purposes, I support several teams in an eclectic group of sports that I allow to affect my emotions from the bitterness of defeat to the elation of success, the surprise of a...

Whoopsie!
I have arranged to go out for dinner and cinema for a friends birthday on my Dad’s birthday! Son Fail!
undithered asked: If you were to do inter railing again. What route do you think you'd take this time and do you think you'd do the full month?
Ah, I Feel Better Now!
It finally happened, after months of me complaining about uni and work taking up all my time followed by the crap weather, I got to play golf!
I have missed it sooooo much! I have missed the feeling of hitting that tiny white ball around a field! If you don’t play then you don’t understand the satisfaction that you get from hitting a good shot, or shooting a good score! Another thing...

Revision, The Dirtiest of Words
So, it’s the first of those two dreaded spells in the year where you must consolidate the things that the odd person who stand in front of you a few times a week preaching has said. If you’re like me, you have to begin from square one all over again!
As you may notice, I’m writing a post, not revising. This is because I have the attention span of a fork. The same thing happens...
Why Do I Even Care!
I’m also suffering from the bug of sleep all day, procrastinate all night. I’ve just read Natalie’s post about the things we talked about in Lavery’s last night and the thing that is in my head at the moment is the fact that despite that I hate the modern day culture, I find myself trying to conform.
This is odd as I have never had any sort of problems being myself and...
Say No To Snow!
Right, first off, I love snow. It makes the natural world even more beautiful with it’s white dusting and it always helps Christmas to feel special. Snowball fights, Sledging and building Snowmen are amongst the joyous things that you get to enjoy when the world’s favourite form of precipitate takes hold. But all I can think of looking out at the snowy hills in front of my house is...

Where Do You Think You Will Be At The Start Of The...
It’s a horrid question! One that when I was asked at 00.02 on New Year’s day that I stuttered and couldn’t really formulate a proper answer. You look forward and 10 years seems like forever, you look back and the memories seem distant, but they certainly aren’t a lifetime away!
In 10 years I’ll be 29 and staring 30 full in the face. I should have a career, I should...
"The Best Things In Life Don't Come Easy"
I’ve set myself several New Year Resolutions. They are all along the same line of trying to better myself, continue to put myself out of my comfort zone and having true believe in all facets of my life.
This will include situations similar to that encountered by the three stooges (you know who you are) had a good laugh at our at our social skills in Lavery’s. Just have to remember...

Put Your Best Foot Forward
I think it’s appropriate to begin by wishing one and all a prosperous New Year! I’ve managed to get all my friends into bed were they can rest and I can enjoy a little bit of silence for thought.
2009 has been and gone in the time it took to blink an eye. It has been a year of personal growth, increasing self confidence and has lead to me making some very good friends. There has been...
