Today the theme is autobiographies...and that is the title of mine if i should ever become famous enough to write one. (play on the word time-not big-headedness). if you have any better suggestions please comment for some inspiration, what about...
Crouching Tiger, hidden talent - Tim Henman
Long time no see - David Blunkett
What lies beneath - Tony Blair
Thinking outside the box - David Blaine
American Idiot - George Bush
Windows of opportunity - Bill Gates
So there you go. Admittedly not very good at all and so i expect lots of suggestions! In other news, today i spent a good hour searching for easter eggs. It appears that some shops must have over ordered last year, and have over compensated this year! Or maybe i just leave things too late?
Other than that has been an uneventful day. we had a power cut last night which set off a house alarm at 3.30 and therefore kept me awake until the power came back on at about 5am. Hopefully i shall have more to write about tomorrow, with it being a special day! Ciao now

Not really a day, more a brief passage of time
The title accurately sums up my life today. i didn't really do enough for it to class as a day. I basically dossed around quite a lot and ate and drank and watched football. Even the the football wasn't exciting as my team crashed to a 0-0 draw with bottom of the league Sunderland. Not a good result at all. This after my virtual cricket team were on the worng end of a thrashing too.
So all in all a day where nothingness and laziness had to do.
Tomorrow i have a slightly busier day, as there is a kind of music festival parade through town which i shall probably go and watch. You see it doesn't take much to come up with a more exciting day than today!
Thought for the Day: If nothing comes our way. Then be glad, for if you found something, it would probably only cause problems

Two sides of humanity: Part 2
Contradictions. Don't you just love them. In true style i am now going to prove why i hate them , which will then be contraditary to my last statement.
Two days ago in the Independent, Mark Steele wrote about how the USA is funding political parties in South America, whom they support. In countries where 'the wrong guy' in Americas opionion is elected (democratically) they have forced regime change or invaded (1957), or tried to legally force a parliamentary change-why...because the opposition usually wants to stop the unfair trade with Anerica! So...America's reason? To try and spread 'democracy'. Hmmmmm
A few pages later, a picture of the Thames Water building being cleaned (hosed down), days after they issued a hosepipe ban for the whole Thames area...funny isn't it...
I watched the Constant Gardener the other day. Although of course fiction, the stories are even worse in real life. Medical companies, designing drugs to sustain and give life....killing people by the thousands. You see what i'm getting at?
As MPs airmile records are released, you may be surprised (or not) to discover that one of the main culrpits was the minister who recently set out the Government's policy on reducing emmissions from air travel.
Next week the PM will pass law meaning that in future he can intervene in the legal process and pass laws that are not in keeping with the law. The most famous person who passed a similar law...Hitler! Yes Tony Blair now has more power over his country than US president and seems to be taking the Hitler route-power seeking in a democracy-that doesn't fit
In the US, abortion has just been banned in one state. Yet they refuse a rise in tax, to help pay for all the extra babies who will now be born, some needing extreme treatment.
I could go on and on. So there we have it, the two sides of humanity. With one hand we help, with the other we hinder. Is it true that as humans we all fit into that cateogry? Are we all contradictary people? If not, what makes us different.
Thought for the Day: Have you read my blog???

2 sides of humanity:Part 1
I should warn you.This is the first part of a two part series. So read tomorrow to find out more!
Happy birthday to me! What a wonderful day it has been. And in 10mins time it will be thousands of other peoples turn to take the limelight for 24hrs. This birthday has been quite strange in many ways.
Firstly i signed in on duo, and it said happy birthday to me, then on my trip to the dentist my dentist greeted me with happy birthday, and then o2 sent me a message telling me i had got 50 free text messages.
Throughout the day on msn, facebook, by text, phone and in person people have been saying happy birthday. Sooo many people have said it in some way or another, a card, a present or just a word, and i haven't even got my familys presents yet. So what is this-me bragging about how popular i am? No i am sensible enough to realise that this has very little to do with me. Rather i have been truly blessed by the people around me.
That people take the time to show interest, send me things, make me feel loved is perhaps the biggest privelege ever. It restores my faith in human nature, that no matter how bad a friend i am, however many times i let people down/fall out-i have a group of friends that cares about me and is bothered about me. I don't think there's much else a guy could want in life and i feel priveleged to have the bestest friends in the world-FACT!
Thanks to all you guys who made today what it's been-brilliant. I only hope that i can return the favour... Thankyouuuuuuuuu

Hues to say?
Today i was aqua-marine. No, i didn't start singing barbie girl underwater, or turn into a tin of homebase paint, i am merely describing the mood of my day as aqua marine. So why i hear you cry. Well i would hear you if you were all there, waiting and interested. Instead the tumbleweed keeps atumbling and ill keep wittering.
Basically, we use blue, to describe feeling down, green to describe envy, so who's to say i cannot designate my very own colour? Hence i have designated aqua-marine as my mood today. For those outside of my head (the vast majority of you) i have been feeling quite excited and also contented, but with a slight hint of frustration at times. There you go, so next time you feel like that you will know how to describe it!
In other colour news, indigo has been removed from the rainbow, after people finally realised that you can't actually see it! I kid you not. tis FACT. Righty, well tomorrow is my birthday (yay) so i shall leave you now to consider this...
Thought for the Day: If you were a colour, what would you be and why?? hmmmmm

23 hours in Sheffield
Yes i have returned safe and well from my mini expidition to the 'centre of the Earth' as Oli puts it. I have to say, it is a very pleasant place to while away your time, and it has many sites of interest and a few clubs. Though it should be noted that the nightlife is not that great on a sunday night-unless they let you into the gay bar. Something that alas did not happen.
So...what was i doing for those 23hrs? well here is my 24 style synopsis of my trip
14:42 - Met Oli at the station, and was driven to his very nice house in middle class sheffield!
15:42 - Sat and chatted to Oli for a while over a good cup of tea
16:42 - Ditt and Tom arrived and we set off to watch the football in the pub
17:42 - Football finished and we set off back to Olis house
18:42 - Following another cup of tea, set off in search of food
19:42 - Having been fed in an American restaurant, we went to a pub nearby
20:42 - Met up with Olis friend Gavin in the same pub
21:42 - Met up with Olis other friend Hannah in the same pub
22:42 - Left to go to 'Forum ?!?' (another bar)
23:42 - Went in search of clubs but they were all shut
00:42 - Having tried the gaybar, we headed back via Spar for some food
01:42 - Sat in Gavins house eating,
to break the journey back to Olis
02:42-10:42 - 'Sleeping' Time. Kept waking up.
10:42 - Got up and watched Trisha
11:42 - Headed into sheffield for a look round ( and saw pigeons!!)
12:42 - Stood in water fountains in the middle of shffield (see pic)
13:42 - Arrived at Sheffield station to catch the 13:51 train to Leeds.
There, that is the grand summary of my trip. Having got home i then went out with some rahs from cambridge for the night and helped them win a pub quiz! Yay! So it has been a very exciting few days, and a good beginning to what promises to be a very exciting week!
Thought for the Day: The hole of life can either be dug deeper or climbed out of. The spade is always in your hand.
