April

April was interesting. I went to 2 spurs games and also was front row at wwe at the odyssey which was excellent! Renovation work started on my house so things were a bit hectic, i moved in with jude, ray and craig for what was meant to be a couple of weeks but it went on slightly longer! I also turned 26 which was quite depressing. im not big on celebrating birthdays so just went out for lunch with a few mates and watched the man utd game in the pub that night. 

overall things started to get quite hectic this month with the renovations, uni work and working extra hours with the simon community.

March

March was without a doubt the saddest month of the year. one of the residents i used to work with in my previous job passed away on 21st. although it wasnt entirely unexpected it was bloody hard to deal with, i literally spent the whole evening it tears when i was told about it. thankfully someone swapped shifts with me so i coud go to kathy's funeral, it was such a bizarre thing because we were all sharin stories and laughing our heads off because she was such a funny person but the next minute we'd b crying cos we all miss her even thought she gave us hell at times! im so thankful to have known her and im so thankful that she's not in pain in anymore, i like to think she's in heaven looking down on us and laughing at how upset we all are that she's not here - she had an interesting sense of humour!
March was the month that i decided to renovate my house, long term im hoping it was the right decision!!

February

February was probably my favourite month of the year! went to a northern ireland game on 6th and the next day flew to canada for a little break! i love canada and i love lots of people that live there. usually id have a big group of teenagers with me and id be there doing youth work of some kind so it was amazing just to fly over there on my own without having to worry about other people and spend some time with some amazing people and just chill out. i also got to visit tim horton's quite a lot! one intersting thing was when i was in a church one sunday the roof had been leaking and someone prayed at the start that the roof wouldnt leak during the service and it didnt. however when the service ended i turned on my phone and and there numerous texts for me to call home, i did and my mum informed me that a radiotor had burst in my house and there was water everywhere. i admit i found this hilarious, no major damage done or anything - God definately has a sense of humour! overall canada was brilliant and i loved being in hope again and loved seeing everyone again and was bowled over by how nice everyone was to me while i was there!
on 24th feb Spurs beat chelsea 2-1 to win the carling cup, its fair to say i was flippin delighted!! some bitter chelsea fans have tried to tell me that it means nothing and its a worthless cup but the fact that they played their strongest team would suggest otherwise. i hate sour grapes amongst football fans!!

January

Janauary started off in chris and ciara's house, i hate new years eve with a passion but in fairness this wasnt a bad night. January wasnt bad i guess, had 2 trips to spurs inclusind the amazing night where we beat arsenal 5-1 at the lane! i will never forget that night as long as I live! Sadly as we were walking out of the ground the news came through that heath ledger had died. this fet quite surreal as I had auditioned afew hours earlier to be in a movie with him. In happier news spurs signed jonathon woodgate, chris gunter and allan hutton. unfortunately we also signed gilberto and jermain defoe was sold to portsmouth. aside from being at spurs i pretty much just worked and fitted in trips to the cinema.

2008

so 2008 has been an interesting year and just for my own amusement im going to review it month by month over the next few days.

pointless?

so are blogs pointless?

in a way i think they are. was having a conversation the other day who told me that blogs were amazing cos they could write up whats going on in their life and everyone would see it.

but really the only people going to bother reading it are people who know you who are either nosey or genuinely interested in what's happening in your life.

is it not easier just sending them a text?

im kind of debating with myself because obviously i have a blog but i dont really put anything grounbreaking on here. if i have anything on my mind i dont write it here, i just stress about it and let it get worse and eventually have a freak out and get it sorted while the world carries on around me oblivious to the amount of sleep ive just lost from worrying.

we're in an age now where everyone not only has an opinion but an opinion which they believe should be forced on everyone around them and agreed with without question. i think that is why so many people have blogs.

i sometimes wish it was 10 years ago and we had no blog's and no reality tv and the interent didnt have pages and pages of useless forums with people giving their opinion on everything, most of which does not actually concern them.

an historic day

so the other day america went out and voted and obama got elected! it was predicted but nonetheless it was an historic day and a day that america will look back on with great pride.

why?

im genuinely confused by this whole affair. i hadnt been following the election at all but as it got closer thought i better take a bit of an interest so i actually knew what people were talking about. ive asked loads of people who they wanted to win and the usual response ive got is "aw man it has to be obama like! there has to be a change, bush is a disaster!" admitedly im not a big fan of george w bush but i understand the fact that he is a role model for stupid people world wide - if someone that stupid can be in charge of the most powerfu country in the world then there really is hope for us all! but that aside, all ive heard is about obama is going to change this and that.

the impression im getting from people i that they have got caught up in the whole euphoria of having the first black president and wanting to be part of history. i looke dup the whole presidenttial thing on the internet the other day and found many websites listing his promises and then a list of reasons why they they wouldnt work. these were mainly financial, he appears to have promised many things which will cost a lot of money but he is working with a deficit of $6.9 trillion! 

ive nothing against obama, im happy for the lad cos he has acheived something and from his appearence on wwe television a few months ago he seemed like a witty kind of bloke.

but ive got one of those feelings where i think it will all end in tears. 

kind of like the feeling i had when ramos was appointed spurs boss - look how that turned out!
