Bruno Mars - It Will Rain

2011-12-04T19:50:00.001Z

Not really Bruno Mars fan but the backing beats to his songs are pretty good, like this one, when the beat solo kicks in, sounds rad, reminds me of like Autumn/Winter time setting in.

Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts

2011-10-16T18:11:00.000+01:00

'No I can’t take one more step towards you, cuz all that’s waiting is regret
And don’t you know I’m not your ghost anymore, you lost the love I loved the most
I’ve learned to live half alive, and now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are, running round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts, and tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me, who do you think you are?

I hear you’re asking all around if I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong to ever fall back in your arms
I’ve learned to live half alive, and now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are, running round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts, and tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me, who do you think you are?

It took so long just to feel all right, remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed, cuz you broke all your promises
And now you’re back, you’re looking to get me back

And who do you think you are, running round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts, and tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me, don’t come back at all

And who do you think you are, running round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts, tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul
Don’t come back for me, don’t come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?'

'You lost the love... I loved the most.'

‎"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us."

Adele - Set Fire To The Rain

2011-08-04T12:52:00.009+01:00

This song is amazing, the lyrics say it all, the title is the key meaning though... 'Set fire to the rain' - Meaning, let go of your demons, have the courage to face up to it and get rid of them/person or go head on into something that is bothering you with courage and determination, really inspirational.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us."

Don't let it frighten you, don't be scared of the light, don't let it cloud you with darkness, go for it, and you'll be a better person for it.
It's like going into a fight, you want to do it (The Light) you're scared of wanting to do it, because you might not know what will happen, the most obvious things in life are scarier than the darker things that are not as obvious, don't be scare of what might be, don't be scared to be powerful beyond measure.

'I Set fire to my rain.'

Fighting Tonight

2011-07-23T13:19:00.001+01:00

Fighting tonight in Sheffield at the Skate Arena, should be good, I've trained hard so I will hopefully win, I believe in myself to win.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Beyonce - Best Thing I never Had

2011-07-13T00:33:00.001+01:00

Ha, can't put into words how this fit's into my life.

There was, a time.
I thought, that you did everything right.
No lies, no wrong.
Girl I, must have been outta my mind.
So when I think of the time, that I almost loved you.
You showed your ass, and I saw the real you.

Thank god you blew it!
Thank god I dodged the bullet!
I'm so over you, so baby good looking out!

I won't let you back, I'm so through it ....
Cause honoustly you turned out to be the, best thing I never had!
You turned out to be the, best thing I never had.
And I don't always be the best thing you never had.
And it sucks to be you right now!

So sad, you're hurt.
Who thought you expected me to care.
You don't, deserve my tears.
I guess that's why they ain't there!

Wanna think there was a time that I almost loved you.
You showed your ass, and I saw the real you.

Thank god you blew it!
Thank god I dodged the bullet!
I'm so over you, so baby good looking out!

I won't let you back, I'm so through it ....
Cause honoustly you turned out to be the, best thing I never had!
I said, you turned out to be the, best thing I never had.
And I'll never be the best thing you never had.
Oh baby I bet, it sucks to be you right now!

I know you want me back.
It's time to face the facts.
That I'm the one that's got away.
Lord knows that it will take another place, another time.
Another world, another life.
Thank god I found the good of ...

I used to want you so bad!
I'm so through it bad!
Cause honoustly you turned out to be the, best thing I never had!
Oh you turned out to be the, best thing I never had!
And I will always be the, best thing you never had.
Best thing you never had!

I used to want you so bad!
I'm so through it bad!
Cause honoustly you turned out to be the, best thing I never had!
Oh you turned out to be the, best thing I never had!
Oh I will never be the, best thing you never had.
O baby, I bet it sucks to be you right now!

Goes around, comes back around.
Goes around, comes back around.
Bet it sucks to be you right now.
Goes around, comes back around.
Bet it sucks to be you right now.

'Goes around, comes back around, Bet it sucks to be you right now, Thank god I dodged the bullet... Goes around, comes back around.'

The Feeling - Miss You

2011-06-11T00:09:00.014+01:00

Just stumbled on to this song whislt on Youtube, I remember when Jenny sent me it, she was so excited she found it on the album as it was a secret song at the end of the 'Blue Picadilly' song... haha bless her.
The lyrics just seemed to fit our relationship back then... crazy though how something at one point in your life can mean so much to you, then after a few years you don't even know that something really any more, It's a weird feeling and strange to get your head around, how you're so close to someone then you're not... It'd be good to be friends again one day.

Here are a couple of other Feeling songs that reminded me of our relationship.

The Feeling - Never Be Lonely

The Feeling - Love It When You Call

Brings back good memories that I'll always treasure, cause no matter what happens no one can ever take them away, weird how a song can instantly take you back to a certain time and bring back certain feelings...
It's 5 years ago since we got together and fell in love, can't believe how fast time has gone... ever since we broke up I've never felt the same, was so strange how life felt after, was just... different... I think Jenny definitely took a part of me with her, think it'll always be with her too... strange is life when you actually sit down and think about stuff.
I believe you only truly fall in love properly once, others come and go, may be in your life a short time, maybe in your life a long time, but they never have that extra thing that your first love had, you may love someone else more or care about them more, have a better relationship or get on better... but there's always that something that the first one gave you that no one else can.
I guess that's why over the years they always keep running in and out of your mind... even though they don't mean what they used to, it's just always... there.

I'm sure we'll talk again or be friends at some point... One day the wind might just change direction.

'All of a sudden, the wind just changed direction.'

:-)

LOST

2011-06-07T01:25:00.003+01:00

Sometimes being lost is so close to being found, when you're lost you find yourself, you find out who you are.

Locke: "I'm not lost any more."
Sun: "How did you do that?"
Locke: "The same way anything lost gets found... I stopped looking."

New England Shirt!

Nature

2011-06-03T21:24:00.001+01:00

"You see this little hole? This moth's just about to emerge. It's in there right now, struggling. It's digging it's way through the thick hide of the cocoon. Now, I could help it - take my knife, gently widen the opening, and the moth would be free - but it would be too weak to survive. Struggle is nature's way of strengthening it." - John Locke

"The struggles we face in life, are just natures way's of strengthening you."

Willie Nelson - Are You Sure?

2011-06-03T14:02:00.005+01:00

Oh, look around you
Look down the bar from you
The lonely faces that you see
Are you sure that this is where you want to be?

These are your friends
But are they real friends
Do they love you the same as me?
Are you sure that this is where you want to be?

You seem in such a hurry to live this kind of life
You've caused so many tears and misery

Look around you, take a good look
Just between you and me
Are you sure that this is where you want to be?

Don't let my tears persuade you, I had hoped I wouldn't cry
But lately, teardrops seem a part of me

Oh, look around you, take a good look
At all the lonely used-to-be's
Are you sure that this is where you want to be?

Are you sure?

Ms Dynamite Ft. DJ Zinc - Wile Out (Club Mix)

2011-05-30T17:46:00.005+01:00

This song was on last night at Poziton, sooo good, tore the dance floor a new arse hole pullin' shapes to this beat, so sick! I'll get Doc to play it at Sugar tonight!

'You don't wanna play with Dynamite, this shit will blow your world apart!'

Bloc Party - This Modern Love

2011-05-28T11:25:00.008+01:00

I'll never get tired of this song ever, reminds me of my youth back in 2005, used to listen to it all the time, still do now, amazing to skate too, also reminds me of my bestest Caley :-)

To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift
You've been trying to reach me, you bought me a book
To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift
I've been paid, I've been paid

To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift
You've been trying to reach me, you bought me a book
To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift
I've been paid, I've been wait, I've been...

Don't get offended, if I seem absent minded
Just keep telling me facts, and keep making me smarter
And don't get offended, if I seem absent minded
I get tongue-tied

Baby, you've got to, be more discerning
I've never known, what's good for me
Baby, you've got, to be more demanding
I will be yours

I'll pay for you, anytime
I'll pay for you, anytime

And you told me you wanted, to eat up my sadness
Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away
You told me you wanted, to eat up my sadness
Jump right

Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've known never known what's good for me
And baby, you've got to be more demanding
Jump left

What are you holding out for?
What's always (in the way)?
Why so damn absent-minded?
Why so scared (of romance)?

Ah, ah, ah, ah
This modern love (Ah, ah, ah), breaks me
Ah, ah, ah, ah
This modern love (Ah, ah, ah), wastes me
Ah, ah, ah, ah
This modern love (Ah, ah, ah), breaks me
Ah, ah, ah, ah
This modern love (Ah, ah, ah), wastes me

Do you wanna come over, and kill some time?
Do you wanna come over, and kill some time?
Do you wanna come over, and kill some time?
Throw your arms around me

The lyrics I've highlighted are the best in the song and go with the backing beat so so well, such an amazing song, not only that my one of my fav skaters Daewon skates to it from Skate More my fav vid back in 2005 skates to it, and is on DVS too, so it all links together! RAD!

Stoked!

Lil Wayne Ft. Drake - Right Above It

2011-05-27T22:30:00.004+01:00

What a tune, so sick!

'I don't get shit confused
I got a small circle

I'm not with different crews
We walk the same path, but got on different shoes
Live in the same buildin', but we got different views
I got a couple cars, I never get to use

Don't like my women single
I like my chicks in two's'

Born A Champion

2011-05-25T13:47:00.004+01:00

'They wanna hold you back tell 'em pee off.
Whenever they say you can't take the C off.
I remember when they told me I wouldn't be famous,
Now my dream and reality's simultaneous,

And, work your own way to the top
If they put you on a pedestal, they can take you off.
And there's a higher level than the top
You gotta make more, don't make do with what you got,

I'm always pushing myself to the limit
Making sure I stay ahead,
You made me who I am
From the words you said,

Some people love to learn
Some people wait their turn
Some people, but not me
I was born champion.'

J.Cole - I'm Coming Home

2011-05-24T14:19:00.004+01:00

This is where I'm at, fools better recognize!

'Back where I belong
I’ve never felt so strong
feeling like there’s nothing that I can’t try

I’m coming home
tell the World I’m coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
tell the World I’m coming'

Pink - Fuckin' Perfect

2011-04-13T14:44:00.002+01:00

This song is so deep, it's rad, Pink is legit, she sings with meaningful lyrics, that's why she's one of the best, the video is deep too, take note of it if you're feelin' like you're nothing, there's someone out there that you're perfect too.

"Made a wrong turn, once or twice.
Dug my way out, blood and fire.
Bad decisions, that's alright.
Welcome to my silly life.
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood.
Miss 'No way, it's all good', it didn't slow me down.
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated.
Look i'm still around."

"Feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we're holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we'd rather collapse and back away. They're like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we're stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it's with us wherever we are."

'If love was a labour I'd slave till the end'

Chris Brown - Champion

2011-03-13T16:41:00.004Z

The lyrics in this song are sick, really motivational!

Some people have to learn
Some people wait there turn
Some people have to fight
Some people give it up

They wanna hold you back, tell 'em pee off
Whenever they say you can't, take the c off
I remember when they told me I couldn't be famous
Now my dream and reality is simultaneous
And work your own way to the top
If they put you on a pedestal they can take you off
And there's a higher level than the top
You gotta make more, don't make do with what you got
Yeah, so get it in go sunny
Not everybody gets a second chance at getting money
Or even getting lucky so you gotta feel
The hunger in your tummy

I'm always pushing myself to the limit
Making sure I stay ahead
You made me who I am, from the words you said

Some people have to learn
Some people wait there turn
Some people but not me
I was born a champion

Some people have to fight
Some people give their lives
Some people don't believe
I was born a champion
But I was born a champion
But I was born a champion

Imagine you was the one, that couldn't get a look in
Couldn't get a booking
Couldn't get a push in when you needed a shove
Or your buttons they be pushing
So now they tryna shush him
It's only you believing in you
They turn you into a bastard than moment you rude
Attitude a little out of tune
But that's how champions move
Yeah so go and get it in sunny
Not everybody gets a second chance at getting money
Or even getting lucky
So you gotta feel the hunger in your tummy

No-one wants to help
I guess you're on your own
Build a foundation with the bricks they throw
In a black and white World, True colours show
Change if you want, e verybody grows
Life's like an ill, but try and get a hold
Opinions aint fact, take em and let em go

You made me who I am from the words you said

Some people have to learn
Some people wait there turn
Some people but not me
I was born a champion (champion)

Some people have to fight
Some people give their lives
Some people don't believe
But I was born a champion

Some people have to learn
Some people wait there turn
Some people but not me
I was born a champion (champion)

Some people have to learn
Some people wait there turn
Some people but not me
I was born a champion
But I was born a champion

Eminem - Not Afraid

2011-02-20T14:56:00.011Z

Time to get my head right, this tune helps me through, I love it, being the bigger man now and letting what will be, be.
Got my friends to help me by deleting my ex to help me get my head straight, not deleted her in a mean way, just deleted her so it makes things easier to deal with, don't really want to see anything popping up on their news feeds, if she comes back she comes back, done all I can, if she doesn't then so be it.
I'm doing this for me now, given and done enough, more than most would or could do.

Yeah, It’s been a ride…
I guess i had to go to that place to get to this one
Now some of you might still be in that place
If you’re trying to get out, just follow me
I’ll get you there

When I say ‘em or do something I do it, I don’t give a damn
What you think, I’m doing this for me, so f-ck the world
Feed it beans, it’s gassed up, if a thinks its stopping me
I’mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I’m tearing down your balcony

Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn’t
This f*cking black cloud still follow’s me around
But it’s time to exercise these demons

I just can’t keep living this way
So starting today, I’m breaking out of this cage
I’m standing up, Imma face my demons
I’m manning up, Imma hold my ground
I’ve had enough, now I’m so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now

I’m not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you’re not alone
Holla if you feel that you’ve been down the same road

The Letter

2011-02-19T04:14:00.026Z

Well the letter that I wrote for Carla like 4 weeks ago when I left her house got delivered tonight by my friend Joe, Gave him it after gym to take round and I went home, Alen was meant to take it but he was busy.
Basically just didn't want to go round myself and make it any harder for Carla, Same reason I didn't go round on Valentines day with it, because it wouldn't have been easy giving her it, so waited a bit and got my friend to take it.
I'm accepting that we're over slowly, getting used to it now, it's a bit shit but hey that's life I guess, I still have a bit of hope left after certain things she's done over the past few weeks, kind of seems like she's confused, been talking to my cousin and such like that when she doesn't even know her, Carla said to me it's best not to talk to each other as it's easier this way and makes it less difficult, so I haven't really, but she's been talking to my cousin which I found odd, seems like she's confused.. From what I saw it seemed like she was trying to make me aware she was there, so that's why I thought I'd send the letter now so if she was trying to make contact some how after talking to my cousin, she's got that letter now to read.
It's not asking her back, it's just telling her how I felt about certain things, I'm not going to wait around for her any more now, I'm going to get on with my life and carry on, meet new people and do new things, but have that hope there still.
I'd never hurt her intentionally, that's why I didn't go round myself, and didn't go round on Valentines day to make it easier for her... I hope she can see that, and maybe one day the hope I have still, she'll see that the way I've been with her and the things I did for her or said is because I cared about her (Not throwing it in her face) if we don't work out, I hope she finds someone that will treat her with respect and such like she deserves, Carla is a good girl, she was treat bad in the past like me, and I only tried to do right by her.
I'll never forget her and miss her every day, I still feel her presence which may sound strange, but I still feel she's kind of looking at me or something? It's a strange feeling, that's another reason why I sent the letter, because I still feel that.
Maybe if she's still confused now, and doesn't know what to do, I hope one day she see's everything clear, and I hope she never changes from who she is, because she's amazing girl, I hope she never loses respect for herself and does something stupid etc, that respect and kind girl she is what I fell for, she respected herself so I respected her.
I'll never look at her Facebook or something like that as long as we're apart now, that's it I'm done, I can't do it no more, I'm going to carry on with my life and sort me out, maybe we'll get back together again maybe we wont, what will be will be, I've done good by her and done all I can, I just hope if we don't get ever get back together, someone will do more that I could to make her happy... The best advise I'd give for her is don't rush into anything, don't force thing's and don't do anything for the wrong reasons, make sure it is real, make sure it happens like we did (I don't mean like on Facebook like we did, I mean in general, Like it just happens in a crazy way, it's not a rebound, It's not doing it to get over me, it's not cause you're getting abit of attention off some other man, meeting people for the sake of it etc) make sure it's for the right reasons, because if not it wont work and it wont last long, and you'll feel worse off at the end of it, trust me I've seen it happen and been there myself...
If we don't ever get back together, Maybe one day we can talk and be friends, who knows, I hope she can see that I'd never hurt her and only ever wanted to see her smile, I hope she see's that I've been good to her.
I'll never forget her and wish her every happiness in life, glad I got to know her, she made me feel alive again.

Good luck in life Carla pet, if you ever read this and don't contact me cause you don't want to admit your feelings I understand, I understand sometimes you can't get your head around it, but if you're reading this now, If I promise you anything ever, I promise you this with my whole heart, One day you'll understand, you'll understand what I'm saying now, you'll understand the reasons and the way's I was and treat you, you'll understand every little thing I did and wrote for you, one day Carla It'll all become clear if you're confused now... one day it'll all be okay and come right, Whatever you're going through now it'll all come clear in time... After all I know the real you, I know the girl underneath all that confusion and upset, I've seen the soul that is inside.
I promise pet, one day I promise everything will be okay.

R.I.P Bingo...

2011-02-10T14:35:00.006Z

Sad day yesterday, Bingo owner of Mischief skate store sadly passed away...
I know Bingo and I never really saw eye to eye when I was younger, but as I grew up we talked more and met a couple of times and became friends.
We always used to have run in's on the Sidewalk forum when I was a grom, he'd take the piss out of me for posting stupid things ha ha, but at the same time he knew I was just so stoked on skateboarding and grew to be a good mate, defending me at times on there when people took the piss, he knew I went about things daft and didn't think before I wrote things, but I guess he knew deep down that it wasn't in a bad way, it was just because I was young... hence him becoming my friend as I grew up.

Glad I got to know you more over the past couple of years mate, even when we didn't see eye to eye when I was in my younger years, glad we became friends as your heart was always in the right place, and you was truly down for skateboarding.

Rest in peace Steve.

P.s - Cheers for that DVS towel mate!

Thursday was a strange day...

2011-02-05T15:36:00.021Z

Okay, so went to my dads on Wed night, I wasn't going to go at first, but decided I would, anyway I packed my bags and went to my wardrobe and looked at my hats and decided to pick the one Jenny bought me for Valentines day 4 years ago, I have no idea why I picked it, I just did, dad rang me and said bring some old gear we'll do some work in the morning, so packed my stuff up and drove to my dads.
Thursday morning we got up and then got in the van, my dad said put this address in the sat nav, So I did, we was working on Beverley High road or something, got to the job and it turned out to be at the bottom of Jenny's street Tranby Lane, I was thinking what the fuck is this all about, I picked the hat she bought me then ended up working at the bottom of her street, I thought this is odd, I wasn't going to even go work with my dad I was gonna stay over and go with Banksy In the morning to get some pictures done... Anyway I didn't read too much into it, but I thought today is really strange, just felt weird... anyhow we was 4 barrow loads short of tarmac to finish the job off, we was putting a new path in, so we went back to the tarmac plant, turned out they couldn't give us 4 barrows worth, the minimum order was a tone, so my dad said we'll wait ten min to see if we can get any from a wagon passing if not we will go home, and do it tomorrow... we was about to go home as no one was giving us any, then one last wagon came in as we was about to set off and hooked us up, we waited a bit longer then got the tarmac and went on us way back to the job, I was thinking about what had happened earlier with the Jenny thing, thinking today is really odd, then I was thinking about Carla, and out of no where I turned my head and there she was standing outside the shops, Carla and Tom in the pram, I said fuck Carla is there dad drive faster, he said where I said there outside the shop, so he decided to drive around the round about again and look at her, I was like what are you doing! I looked at Carla again and she looked quite sad, and noticed she was getting a cig out of her packet, she said she stopped smoking to me when I was at hers last, guess for some reason she's started again... but that's her choice and I've accepted that, just cared about her alot so didn't want to see anything bad happen to her, at least I cared enough to say something I guess...
It Just made my heart stop for a seconed as she stood there in her black beanie and coat, Tom looked directly at me in the eyes, I just felt really weird at that point... Now, all that weird shit seeing her etc at odd moments happened to me when I loved Jenny after we broke up, I always thought that Jenny and I was meant to be together because all that weird stuff happened between us like seeing her and what not at weird moments...
A year later I met up with Jenny as we bumped into each other randomly and got talking via myspace, she wanted me back and realized she made the wrong mistake a couple months after we did brake up but she didn't want to admit her feeling's to me, she explained everything to me when we met up a year later in our park we always went too... but she messed me about so I didn't want to be with her... shame really if she told me how she felt earlier and didn't hold her feeling's in we might have worked out...
Now am not reading to much into it but it just makes you think, is there something going on you know like some sort of fate kinda thing? It's just the fact that I wasn't going to go work with my dad in the first place makes it odd, the fact that we ran out of tarmac so we had to go back to the plant makes it odd, and the fact that we could have left the plant 10 min earlier and I wouldn't have seen Carla makes it odd, but we left 10 min later and I did see her, and it was a week to the exact day since the last time I talked to Carla too, I knew I had a strange feeling about that day after picking the hat Jenny bought me then working at the bottom of her street thing, I thought something feels weird, and then I saw Carla... It's as almost like everything that happened with Jenny has passed on to my love for Carla... or it could have just been a massive coincidence haha, definitely in your face irony though... I can't explain it but it just felt like the ending of Butterfly effect where he passes his love in the street randomly.

The film is about Evan trying to control the future cause he loses his girlfriend, he tries so hard to make it work but it always goes wrong, in the end he just lets it be and get's on with things and they pass each other in the ending scene I posted above.
No matter what you do, you can't control things, you just have to let it be and it'll all work out in the end, which ever way it was meant to be.

Really into this Ben and James have done a great job, love the idea of Steve narrating it too, just shows what you can do and where you can go if you stay true to who you are and what you do, amazing.

"Stay true to your vision, remember why you're doing it, Stand up for yourself, don't let anyone tell you you're wrong, it may cost you some money, but It'll save your soul, what you do, who you are, that's your art, and that's all your have, don't follow leaders, don't repeat yourself, don't believe the hype, believe in yourself, always remember where you've come from and don't take yourself too seriously."

The same morals that I live by, absolutely brilliant.

The Works Christmas Jam - 2010

2010-12-28T18:22:00.006Z

Went to Leeds yesterday for the Anual Christmas jam as usual was pretty sick, but too packed when we first arrived, didn't think I'd stay long due to how bad it was and how ill I was feeling, stayed a good couple hours though and had an okay skate, check the footage here, got last trick -

Stoked!

Hmmm...

2010-12-25T23:11:00.018Z

Went round to Carla's for the second time, basically was just being off with me again when I tried to talk to her, she told me to get my stuff and go... guess it was short lived again... not how I wanted it to be but shit happens I guess... some of the best times I had with her, I'll never forget them... funny what can happen in a week isn't it... on Monday we was laid on the sofa and she was saying how much she loved me, and that she hates it when we fight etc, yet she had the chance twice to sort it out when I went round to talk but chose to just attack me instead...
It got a bit out of hand last night, her temper got the better of her when she told me to get my stuff and leave, which pissed me off so I blocked and deleted her when I got in... daft really all over something so stupid as well... I can kind of see her point when she thought I threw stuff back in her face but at the same time feel she is over reacting a bit really... pissed me off with what she said but am over it now, would rather just get on again, I just felt a little annoyed at the time, I tried to talk to her twice and she just being shit with me saying she doesn't do reasoning, kept changing her mind and was just being blunt etc so I can't do much more really... will just end up pissing me off even more, wish she'd just stop being daft and actually talk to me... just gonna ruin things... so stupid.

Christmas 2010

2010-12-25T17:34:00.024Z

Well I've had the best Christmas this year... being ill and spent the past 2 days in bed with flu, spent the day alone whilst my family went to my auntis for Christmas dinner... consolation prize to that is they're going to plate me some up and send some home... not too bad then?
Oh and to top it all off this is the best... I'm meant to be in a relaionship yet she hasn't talked to me since Tuesday and that was 'I can't be arsed talking to you, am not in the mood' I said well text me when you are ready to talk to me... Not received that text yet, not even on Christmas day... that tells me alot...
Not chasing after her, I went round and asked what was up on Tuesday, so it's not like I haven't tried to sort things out is it?
I said text me before I left when I tried to sort things out, after she didn't wanna talk to me and she hasn't sent me anything... has been a month or so since I took her back and she's ignoring me again... the fact I've tried to sort it out when I went round to talk to her and she wasn't interested, don't know why I even bother really... and especially not talking to me over Christmas... that's pretty low, knowing the fact I'm a good boyfriend to her and do treat her good, unlike her ex... he was a cunt to her, so she left him, I treat her good, I get taken for granted and ignored... am I missing something here? Don't think she realizes how lucky she is to find a boy like me, at this rate it's going to be short lived I reckon, if nothing changes soon anyway, it's stupid now, and it's not like I haven't tried to sort things out, so I'm not in the wrong cause I did try talking to her on Tuesday and she didn't wanna know so what am I meant to do really...
I aint a mug and am not chasing after her, if she wants to be stupid and ruin the relationship then fair enough but at least I know it's not my fault cause I did try to sort things out.
It just makes me think she's silly, cause I don't know what point she's trying to prove? other than it's just pushing me away from her... the fact she's not talking to me makes me not wanna bother with her, I tried sorting it out as well, so it just doesn't make sense why she's not talking... fair enough I'd understand getting ignored if I didn't try to talk to her but I have so I have no idea other that it'll just ruin us and she'll lose me.
