"I'll tell you one thing, I think NASA killed Michael Jackson. He died the
same week as the anniversary of the initial moon landing, of the first
moonwalk. They resent the fact that any time anyone puts 'moonwalk' into
Google or anything, it comes up with him sliding backwards with a hat on.
And not the billions they spent going up to do a moonwalk. They hated that,
and they killed him." - #seanlock #enjoyed

"I feel my contributions to my daughter’s
upbringing should not be purely financial. I am a committed parent with a
strong and valid interest in raising my daughter into a well-educated, healthy
and happy child. I am University educated and feel I can help Ilysha
academically. I have had an active involvement in the upbringing of my three
year old Godson and see him twice a week for around eight hours, including
time when he is with me solely which supports my parenting knowledge and my
request for Parental Responsibility. I have a respectable full time job and
have never been out of work for lengthy periods. I have a home with a spare
room to accommodate Ilysha in the future and would submit that there is no
good reason for me not being granted the right to a healthy involvement in the
life of my daughter. I feel the commitment that I have shown through the
course of the Court proceedings reflects the commitment I have to my child. I
have addressed every concern of the Respondent as best I can. I have attended
to every direction the Court has made and I have done everything in my power
to support and be involved in the life of my daughter Ilysha since her
conception. I would like to thank the Court for their consideration, and also
thank them for the time they have invested in helping to resolve the issues
presented. Ilysha has a right to have both parents and extended families in
her life, and I will always continue to support, nurture and cherish my time
with her." ♥

Sometimes in life you have to stop needing
closure. You have to stop needing to know why things happen, why things
change, why people do what they do. Sometimes, there isn't a reason, or the
reason is too complicated to understand. Sometimes a thousand lifetimes
couldn't provide enough time to get your head around it all. Sometimes in life
you have to just let go. Let go of the fears, the doubts, and the questions.
Those questions that keep you up at night, that plague you whenever you sit
alone in the quiet darkness. Sometimes the answers aren't simple. Sometimes
the answers won't make sense because the context seems skewed. Sometimes there
is no answer that will ever make sense to you, because your perceptions are
misaligned with whatever is presenting the question. Sometimes, you just have
to accept that life is what it is. It's not always easy, and it doesn't always
make sense. Things you take for granted shatter the illusions of security.
Dreams that seemed unimaginable become reality. People you love with all your
heart destroy your life from within the vulnerable walls you naively let them
inside. You can sit trying to figure it all out, trying to make sense of all
the confusion around us... you can try to find the answer to every question in
your life, slowly wasting time seeking closure that will never be able to
change the past. The answer will never reverse time. So you can either waste
your life seeking answers, or you can focus on creating more questions. I know
what I'm doing these days. Writing stupidly fucking long statuses it would
seem.

Old love is like a film that you watched a few
years ago. You remember that you loved them, that you told everybody about
them, and you kept going back to watch them again. But if somebody asked you
now, you couldn't tell them what happens in them, what made them so special to
you... you just remember that at one point, you loved them.

Love is a clusterfuck, plain and simple. If you
end up going down that road, either through choice or accident, make sure you
put your seatbelt on. It will not be a smooth journey. One minute you will be
looking out the window peacefully enjoying the scenery, listening to nice
music, and having a perfect time. Aww, lovely love... and then an articulated
lorry will appear from nowhere, intentionally rear end you for no apparent
reason, shunt your car off a bridge down a 300ft drop, and you'll have to
decide whether to just leave the car and call it a day, or fight to get it
back repaired and onto the road again. Either way, nothing will be the same
again after the lorry incident. You'll always be watching in that rearview
mirror, not enjoying the scenery or the music, and waiting for something else
to come and fuck up your happiness. Love... it's a bit of a twat really.

It all got too much, and God must of beckoned.../
So he finally threw
the towel in on August the 2nd.
Another year has passed since you left us Chunk, and even now all the
fractures in my heart haven't healed fully. Life is a crazy journey, and you
taught me so much when you left. I still have the article on my fridge out the
newspaper. I still remember the sick feeling in my stomach when I got the text
from Sammy confirming you'd taken your life. I guess what I'm trying to say
is, I still miss you Chunk, there is still a hole in my life that you left,
and I'm not sure it will ever be filled. It's a hole that reminds me how easy
it is to let the darkness drag you under. I hope you're smiling wherever you
are brother, I really hope that you found the peace you were searching for.
Life will never be the same without you, and every time I see Micci &
Lucas I choke up a little, they are the pieces of yourself that you left
behind in this world - they are your legacy. I still remember crying at your
funeral when Micci was stood beside your casket crying and asking where you'd
gone, so innocent and too young to understand. I'm fighting for my own
daughter brother, and I'm sure you're up there doing whatever you can to help
me out. The world is dark sometimes, but I always know there is a star up in
the night sky that I can be proud to say was you. A star that I can say is my
brother. And it comforts me knowing that you're somewhere better now,
somewhere without the pain and heartache. I love you brother and I always
will. Rest in peace Chunk, gone but never forgotten x x x

I think the old lady who lives next door to me is actually a superhero. It would explain a lot, such as how when my TV is playing at a moderate volume, her super sensitive hearing justifies her nearly punching my front door off it's hinges with her superhuman strength. I think she watches her TV on mute and it sounds like regular volume to her, and she probably breaks glass jars when she tries to take the lid off them by accidently gripping them too hard. #BelfieldsNan

"I ate a whole bunch of fibreglass insulation. It wasn't cotton candy like that guy said. My stomach's itchy."
I've let it go on for far too long, and I've just about had enough of it now. It's time I sort it fucking out. It had to happen sooner or later, and I'm sure many others can relate. I was talking to someone at work about it earlier, about how I never put my foot down and find shortcuts to avoid having to deal with it. I need to take responsibility, because the problem isn't going away on it's own. So much has happened over such a short period of time, and it's started to take it's toll now. I honestly don't know how much more it can take... my PC need's reformatting.
Every single time, I fall in love with Jennifer Lawrence all over again.

Well they're pulling out all the stops on the final season of #Dexter!!
[feeling shocked]
Just found an old audio recording, and it's safe to say I'm going bed with a massive grin on my face haha! It's easy to forget sometimes how brilliant your past has been, and then you spend 5hrs sorting through old photos, videos and recordings, and realise it's been one hell of a fucking ride!
[feeling nostalgic]
Just been emailed a copy of Marie's Court statement... my heart is racing ten to the dozen, and I am grinning like the Cheshire Cat! She has now stated on record that she believes we should progress Contact away from the Contact Centre and I should have Ilysha at my home! She suggests for Contact to increase to to 3-4 hours a week (I'll challenge this for at least 5-6 hours) but another major victory is that she's also now stated that she agrees it's appropriate that I be awarded Parental Responsibility! I feel like such a weight has just lifted off my shoulders! #unstoppable!!
[feeling invincible!!!]
Today has been a blur of smiles, sunshine and rainbows this side of Facebook!!
[feeling fandabadozee!]
I just want to take a moment to publicly acknowledge how grateful and lucky I am to have such a wonderful Mum and Stepmum. I haven't been the perfect Son, I know that, I've made too many foolish decisions, and caused a lot of worry and pain in the process. But whenever I've needed them, they've been there for me - I haven't had to chase their love or attention, I haven't had to force them to take an interest in my life or to be a huge part of it. They comfort me when I'm upset, they support me when I'm weak, they advise me when I'm unsure, they listen to me when I need to offload, they have faith in me when I feel overwhelmed or defeatist, and they spoil me rotten. They are the epitome of what it means to be a parent, and I only hope that I can mean as much to my own children as they both mean to me. Thank you for everything you've ever done, everything you continue to do, and everything you've yet to do for me. And thank you for letting me be such a big part of Charlie's life, he is like my own Son and I feel honoured to be able to help raise him. They say you never know what you've got until it's gone... but I don't need to lose you to know that you're two in a million. I love you both with all my heart, and nothing will ever change that ♥
[with Dawn Wheels Owen and Sheila Scott]
Actually on second thoughts, I'm not willing to compromise. I was preparing to negotiate and settle in Court on Monday just so that it's over and done with. People don't understand how stressful and emotionally draining it all really is, but I've decided that I'm sticking to my guns after all. Nothing I have asked for is unreasonable, and there is no reason that I shouldn't be granted what I've requested, if I just hold out that bit longer. If I've come this far already, why should I bail at the last hurdle and "settle" for less than I set out to achieve? Why should I settle for seeing the top of the mountain, when I have the opportunity to stand on top of it? I will pay the additional Court costs, I'll attend the attentional Court hearing if necessary - I'm not settling for less than I deserve. I've already won anyway, so now it's just a case of by how much.

The nightmares of my past still haunt my soul,
but finally at last I've reached my goal.../
Bright light burns my eyes, I've made it home;
and it feels incredible upon my throne.
Trying show my face at this today :) x
I never gave up, without the hardest of fights.../
Mummy made it her goal to keep me out of your life.../
And I don't know why so I could never explain.../
But I promise you Ilysha, you're my everything.

[with Marc Williams]
Just wrote up my proposals for Court in the morning. If Marie will agree to what I have specified, or agree to them with only minor alterations, then tomorrow night I will be out celebrating victory, and closing another difficult chapter of my life.
[feeling hopeful]
Off to bed, feeling an overwhelming clusterfuck of emotions... I just want tomorrow morning over with now, I just want to know the outcome.
[feeling impatient]
I daresay that brings a close to proceedings! I haven't been granted exactly what I wanted, but I've been granted more than enough to call it a day!! Court is over. I now have Parental Responsibility granted, I can now have my daughter away from the Contact Centre every weekend for a minimum of 4hrs, increasing to 6hrs over the next couple of months, and my friends and family can all finally meet her! :) - I get to have Ilysha every Boxing Day, and every Fathers Day too - and if Contact doesn't occur then I get to have access on a different day to make up the lost time. Overnight Contact is to be agreed at a later day between the parents, but to start between Apr-Oct next year. It even went that well that afterwards I was treated to death threats from my ex's Mum who hurled abuse across the Court building foyer at me, starting with "satisfied you selfish prick?" and ending with "if you hurt her Ben, I'll fucking kill you!" I'd just like to thank my ex for being mature enough to compromise and be civil for our daughters sake, and for dragging her foul mouthed Mother away when she continued to shout abuse at me outside, telling her "Mum just leave it".
[feeling on-top-of-the-world-ay!]
and I learned how the shrapnel feels,
cutting deep into my flesh like a shattered shield.
When standing my ground really lacked appeal,
I carried my baggage on my back until I had to kneel.
I had to fold before I broke and I couldn't be fixed,
but if it wasn't for my Princess, I wouldn't exist.
Now the day has come to rue it -
haters said I couldn't do it;
so I went there and came back with the papers to prove it.
No mistaking, I knew it from the start,
and you were foolish to believe that I could lose this -
my heart was like my blueprints,
and I built myself stronger that the ammo they were using,
and kept myself improving any manner I was choosing.
I'd never miss that shot no matter how quick it was moving,
I kept the target in my sights - every step of the abusing.
Prayed they'd see the light every night they were refusing,
and swore I'd tear the fucking planets out the skies before I'm losing.
Failure was never an option.
Knew I'd be fine once I got it... now I'm GOOD! :D ♥
What better way to celebrate a brilliant 5hrs in Court this morning than by going up town?! All my real mates know what it means when it starts with "FUCK MODERATION..."
[feeling amazeballs!]
Just bite their arse, within 3 seconds you know where you stand ;)

[feeling vegetative!]
If you want it enough, you can have it. I really believe that. It won't always be placed in front of you though, sometimes you will have to fight for it. You may have to do things you never wanted too, burn a few bridges you're fond of, hurt a few feelings and even break a few hearts. You may have to push yourself so much harder, and so much further than you even knew you were capable of - all the way to the core of your very existence. You may have to shake, break and remake your foundations, rebuild yourself from the ground up. You'll likely grow accustomed to the taste of your tears, the sight of your own blood, the feel of the cold sweat on the back of your neck. You will question whether it's worth it, you'll consider giving in and waving that white flag, throwing in that white towel, and have to take a moment to take a deep breath and remember how far you've come. By the time you get what you want, you may even feel like an empty glass, hollow and numb from what you have been through just to achieve what you set out to do. But if you have that real hunger, the kind that brings clarity and focus to your blurring vision, if you have that unquenchable thirst, that determination and persistence, if failure truly isn't an option and losing isn't in your acceptable vocabulary, then you can succeed. If you want it enough, you can have it. Keep the target in your sights, your mind fixated on the prize, and your accelerator firmly to the floor. Success isn't achieved with 99% effort, you have to give it all you have. All or nothing.
And insecurities, a whole lot of them."
Life has a subtle way of always giving you another storm cloud once the skies seem to be clear again. Focus on the sunshine, and learn to just dance in the rain.

They've painted the canvas you can see behind my eyes.../
And this portrait ain't perfect, yet far from being worthless.../
Each battle overcome has left marks across it's surface.../
Ripples that disturb it and reflections of it's purpose.../
Yet still waters run deep beneath the layers you interpret.
Past bridges built of phoenix wings for certain I can burn it.../
Life's a rhythmic riddle laced with lyrics I can learn quick.../
My heartbeat is a melody that's telling me I've earned it.
Always chasing dreams, these night I reach new heights.
As my mind takes flight, I write with wings wide,
Drift high into the skies where every thing's alright.
As the fight subsides, I relax and take five.
Forget about the strife I've defied along this ride.
Scars decorate my pride, inspired by tears I've cried.
They've painted the canvas you can see behind my eyes.
And this portrait ain't perfect, yet far from being worthless.
Each battle overcome has left marks across it's surface.
Ripples that disturb it's reflections of it's purpose,
Still waters run deep beneath the layers you interpret.
Each moment on this Earth is a chance to overturn this,
Past bridges built of phoenix wings for certain I can burn it.
Life's a rhymthic riddle laced with lyrics I can learn quick,
My heartbeat is a melody that's telling me I've earned it.
But when the noise fades out, silence taunts me.
The calmness haunts me.
Not used to the peace, I feel incomplete.
A part of me still seeks for it's calling.
I've been preoccupied taking strife within my stride.
That it dominates my mind and intoxicates my sight,
It complicates my life, but I compensate inside.
It confiscates my rights, but I concentrate and fight,
I postulate it might provide the oxygen to write.
I populate and propogate, inoculating wide.
Preposterous the populas prefer the darkened rotteness,
Embodied in my tolerance for stomaching the solemness.
Injected intravenously - seriously I'm mocking it,
My baggage I'm not dropping it, arrogant with cockiness.
Never ever stopping this unless my spine is shot to bits.
Stomp into the fog and mist, my mind is programmed not to quit.
Failure's not an option... on my life I promise it,
A common conscious constant so prominent that I honour it.
Never once forgotten it, each problem found I conquer it.
Karma made my armour fit - this is who your Father is.
But when the noise fades out, silence taunts me.
The calmness haunts me.
Not used to the peace, I feel incomplete.
A part of me still seeks for it's calling."

Spoken like a true martyr. Bradley Manning is a hero of the people, and I fully support his stance and actions. Unfortunately we live in a world where the leaders abuse their positions and power, and strike down with unrelenting fury on anybody who questions or opposes them. 35 years imprisonment for standing up for the innocent civilians being mercilessly slaughtered under the guise of National Security.

This is to all the people defending NSA/GCHQ
and all other Governments who have been spying on electronic
communications stating it's countering terrorism and not a big issue.
Firstly I would like to point out this is all about the principle. There
has been no evidence presented that any data captured has directly
contributed to counter-terrorism. Terrorists are often extremely well
organised and security conscious individuals; they aren't sat emailing
each other on Hotmail in an internet cafe about potential high profile
targets, or about the best place to buy weapons grade plutonium. I equally
doubt that they sit idly chatting on the phone about it. I recommend
people educate themselves on the TOR network, on anonymous IRC channels
and about how steganography is adopted by terrorists. As I said,
terrorists aren't idiots sat publicly discussing it down the local
Starbucks over a Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino on a Saturday afternoon.
If this "counter terrorism" is justifiable due to it's effectiveness, how
come 9/11 slipped through the NSA's net? And how come 7/7 slipped through
GCHQ's net? And how about the Boston Marathon Bombing going under NSA's
radar too? They are just three easy highly publiscised examples. The
GCHQ/NSA postulate that they wouldn't have enough time to go through
everyone's communications due to the sheer volume they have captured, but
this is beside the point. I wouldn't have time to go through all their
personal data either, but I doubt they'll agree to me having a copy of all
their staffs private emails and phonecalls... what do you think? The Human
Rights Act 1998 stipulates: "Article 8 of the Convention, which guarantees
your right to respect for your privacy, also expressly protects your right
to respect for your correspondence, and correspondence can include
telecommunications. For this reason the law strictly regulates the
circumstances in which your post or telecommunications can be intercepted
or monitored." The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA)
states: "So it will be unlawful for a person to intercept, for instance, a
telephone call though a landline, a call or text message through a mobile
network, an email or message sent though the internet." Basically, we are
spoon fed a lie about our "rights" and about how the Law is designed to
protect us, meanwhile the Governments massively abuse their power, operate
outside the Law, and pretty much do whatever they choose with no
repercussions. I don't want to live in a country where everything I do,
say or write as an innocent civilian is monitored and scrutinised, and
every communication I make is recorded, stored and analysed "in the
interest of public safety". I have so much respect for the sacrifices of
Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning, alongside all the other less
publicised whistleblowers. I am an innocent English civilian with a right
to privacy and freedom, and I feel that I am not being unreasonable in
wanting to be treated as such. #EdwardSnowden #NSA #GCHQ #BradleyManning

I still remember every special moment that
you forgot.

Witness me as I fulfil my destiny,
overcoming obstacles whenever
life is testing me.../
Darkness never besting me, the light that
I'm blessed to see.../
Is wielded as my weaponry - illuminates the
best in me.../
Open up my chest and see my heart beating
impressively.

Happiness is the fine balance between
spooning and starfishing. I starfish too much, sometimes I miss having a
little spoon to cuddle up with.

It's payday, but instead of going for the
routine payday beverage, I've just been to get a nice fresh punnet of
strawberries & some strawberry/vanilla biscotti biscuits ready for my
lil' Princess tomorrow instead... ♥

On a serious note though, I love pay day.
It's like I'm Mr Miyagi for a day, only instead of wax on, wax off - it's
wage in, wage out.

I talk it down in my head all week, so that
I don't go insane... but the closer it get's to seeing my lil' beautiful
Ilypie, the more impatient I become, and the more excited I get just at
the thought of seeing her, cuddling her and spending time with her!!

The dreams I have on a Friday night rarely compete with the reality of waking up on a Saturday morning and getting to see my Princess!! ♥
[feeling lucky]
Almost time to go fetch my lil' sweetheart, so I'm grinning like the Cheshire Cat!
