Monthly Musings: October 2013

An overview of opinions and observations for the month.

01/10/2013 @01:42
Dear Ben, I know you're warm, comfortable and pretty much asleep, but I don't care. Fuck you, that's why. Get out of bed and go the toilet, lots of love, your bladder xoxo

I gotta swallow my pride, but never lose the taste."

A purpose is what we all seek the most, but what we find the least.

01/10/2013 @21:50
This I believe, is perhaps the epitome of contrasting entertainment.

02/10/2013 @00:03
Happy Birthday to the best big brother I could ever hope for. Love you Terry Scott x

02/10/2013 @00:51
Really looking forward to seeing my lil' handsome sonshine tomorrow :') ♥

I love buses, especially when they don't turn up or come really late. It makes me so happy when they make me late for work, or make me miss important appointments. I'm feel so damn lucky that we have such a fantastic bus service in Stoke-on-Trent who literally couldn't care less about how shit their service is, or about how often they let people down. Give yourselves a pat on the back First Potteries, if you're aiming to be the definition of wank, you're doing a superb job of it.

"How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? If you had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you. But since you rejected me when I called and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand, since you ignored all my advice and would not accept my rebuke, I in turn will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when calamity overtakes you- when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you. You will eat the fruit of your ways and be filled with the fruit of your schemes. For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them." - [Proverbs 1:22]

Had a lovely time with my wonderful 'Son, and now I'm going watch Sons of Anarchy with a curry lovingly prepared by my other Mother hehe

I wish I could absorb all of your worries and pain.../
And smother them inside me like an oxygen starved flame.

"There's Hell to pay but the Devil don't take cheques.../
I tried to send a message to God - his phone don't take texts."

If only doing it, was as simple as wishing it, writing it, and thinking it.

03/10/2013 @01:25
A hot bath, then starfishing listening to the calming soundtrack of rain against the window pane... it really is the simple things...
[feeling content]

03/10/2013 @13:31
I've decided I need to start eating properly again, what were once my most "fitted" work trousers are now hanging off me, and none of my belts have a setting small enough to hold them up. This is merely an observation, not me boasting about how much weight I've lost.

03/10/2013 @19:06
"I see too many young women craving affection.../
Degrading themselves for a male's attention."

03/10/2013 @20:26
I'm designing the canvas that my mind paints.../
My eyes are cameras, anxious on a blind date.../
In awe at the beauty of this Matrix.../
They see the waterfalls of code as I embrace it.

A hangover is the price we pay for the memories.

04/10/2013 @19:32
Really recommend The Internship, as more than just a funny and feel good film, it's packed with subliminal messages woven into the fabric of the plot, the simple things we commonly overlook in modern society. It isn't difficult to be nice to people, to be kind, to reach out to those less fortunate than ourselves, to love each other and accept each other. All to often we forget to be human, to appreciate the finer things in life - and even worse, we forget to be positive, to have belief and faith in ourselves, and in the people around us. The world is such a beautiful and happy place, it's just that sometimes we need to take a step back to realise it.

Less entertaining, but likely more productive than your Friday night.

04/10/2013 @23:02
The fear of another person raising your child will make you a better parent than you ever expected. The natural response is to compete, you go above and beyond to be the epitome of the perfect parent, and you refuse to lose a fight involving your child. You don't get complacent, you don't take anything for granted, you focus clearly with solid determination on victory. And you will not settle for anything less So looking forward to seeing my lil' Princess tomorrow, and the next day! Double whammy Daddy day care! ♥

05/10/2013 @08:24
Two weeks has felt like a lifetime, I just wanna see, hold, cuddle, kiss, chat with, play with, bond with, be with my Princess! I've missed her beautiful face, those two gorgeous eyes, that cheeky little toothy grin, those chunky little arms and legs, the smell of her soft hair, the feel of her soft baby skin, the sound of her laughter, the cute way she babbles these days, the way she makes me feel invincible like nothing in the world could ever bring me down! Roll on 10am!
[feeling impatient]

I feel so close to you right now!"

I have disposable income, invites to go partying and an open night ahead of me. I also have two amazing children, priorities and the experience and common sense to not overlook the outcome of the scenario referenced in the first sentence of this status. #bennyputthekettleon

05/10/2013 @22:02
Encourage everyone to take note of this, and the points raised. It's aimed at "20 year olds" but relevant to a wider demographic. I read this a while ago and strive to implement much of it these days x

06/10/2013 @17:46
Had a lovely day with my wonderful children, nothing makes me feel more alive than just being with them ♥ - gutted that Charchar didn't feel very well, and heartbroken as ever that they've both had to go back home now, but a lovely day nonetheless :') - perfect weekend, haven't had a single beer, just spent irreplaceable time with irreplaceable family ♥

The article that has kept me focused on what is important, what is at stake, and the beautiful reality of what being a parent entailed the entire duration of my daughters life ♥

06/10/2013 @22:36
"Men are born to protect. Regardless of whether it has gone out of fashion in today’s society, deep in the heart of every man is a desire to protect his loved ones. To make sure that they feel safe when you’re around, like the calming presence of a strong lion protecting the rest of the pride. Though I'm sure that this instinct is there with boys as well, the strong conviction I have to protect my daughter is greater than nearly anything I've felt in my life. It isn't a feeling that has to be worked up, it’s just there, like cement, daring someone to move it. Taking on the protector role means carrying yourself a bit differently. Rather than wandering aimlessly down any dark alley, I now am more aware of my surroundings and where I am taking my baby. I also find myself a bit less sympathetic when other people’s reckless actions invade my daughter’s life."

06/10/2013 @23:59
Statistics prove that natural talent never competes with honed abilities; it has been studied and concluded that it takes approximately 10,000 hours of practice to master a craft. Your life is truly yours to take control of, and when you're young and they tell you that you can be anything you want, they aren't lying. If you decide on what you want to be, and apply yourself, then the world is your oyster. You just need to decide what you want, and make a commitment to succeed. Unfortunately, that is where the majority fall down - by the time they've settled on what they want to be, they cannot rack up the 10,000 hours of practice to be masters of the trade. No pressure, but stop procrastinating and get your game face on before it's too late.

07/10/2013 @00:40
Off to bed wearing a smile that looks too big for my face, after what has been quite possibly the best weekend of my entire life... ♥

07/10/2013 @20:21
I anticipate stupid comments, so I'll be proactive and tell the haters to shush their noise. I just wanted to say, since having a child my life has changed so much - I haven't had sex since before she was born, taken drugs since before she was born, or had an interest in getting really drunk since before she was born. I'm not trying to come across as some kind of saint, I'm aware I still have many flaws - I guess what I'm trying to say is, that having a daughter has completely changed my outlook on life. It makes me consider the outcome of everything I do, it makes me aware of my character, and how my behaviour affects those around me. I honestly think that the Court process has made me a better person too, as crazy as it seems in hindsight. I value and appreciate all the small things in my life, I don't take simple things for granted, and it taught me a lot about myself and about how I handle pressure and obstacles. These days I barely recognise the person I used to be, and I am grateful for that fact. Given the choice of the two, I'd choose my current lifestyle any day of the week. Having my Godson and my daughter in my life has really given me clarity on what matters - and it's not the things I used to think did.
[feeling grateful]

07/10/2013 @20:32
Spot on, Ricky.

07/10/2013 @21:28
I truly believe that the only meaning of life is finding true happiness, in whichever form that may be. We are born, we live, we die. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but the reality is that most of us will never make a huge impact on the world as a whole - however, we all have the potential to find happiness, and that is contagious for those around us. Surround yourself with positive people, find the rainbow in every storm cloud, and remember that when you die, none of this will really matter anyway. Just be happy, and enjoy what little time we have.

This is one of the first ever videos I have of me with my Princess, recorded secretly at the Contact Centre when I wasn't allowed to have her on my own unsupervised (or allowed to take photos/record videos ha!) - as you can tell, I struggled to bond with her and didn't interact (well, according to my ex who had no idea I filmed etc) - I'm just so grateful and so happy that I can now take photos/vids whenever I like and spend quality time with my little girl. I'm blown away by how quickly she is growing too! This video was only recorded at the very end of June, so about 3 months ago!! :') ♥

(Chris Bostock), Radical Face (Christopher Downs), Bliss N Eso, Scribe & 360 (Streamlyne), Akala (Richard Stanway)... and that's just a handful haha...

Me and my Charlie ventured into the Maize Maze at Wheelock Hall Farm recently. My lil' man was a little wary at first, mainly worried we wouldn't ever be able find our way out if we went in but I reassured him that I knew the way (which I didn't, but I knew we'd get out eventually). We were in there a good 10 minutes, I had him on my shoulders to begin with, the height calmed him down because he could see over the top a little bit so wasn't as claustrophobic... I found him some sweetcorn from one of the plants, and once he was a bit less panicked he asked to walk himself and he wielded his sweetcorn like a little sword as we fought our way off the beaten tracks through the maize stalks hehe :') x

I bet you don't even realise how much you waste the money that you work hard to earn. It seems to be that most people go to work, doing a job they hate, and then take the money they earn and spend it on crap they don't really want or need just for the sake of spending it because it's there burning a hole in their pocket. Basically, they work jobs they hate just so they can buy crap they don't want. Go figure.

Time for another moment of brutal honesty. I really hate being single at times, but I hate the thought of being with the wrong person a lot more. It isn't just about me any more, I need to find a partner who would understand the importance of my children to me, and also present a positive role model for them. I don't do short term relationships, if I don't believe we'd be together for a long time, then I don't see any logic in even making a go of it whatsoever. I fall hard and fast, and I daresay I've learned the error of my ways on that one. My past experiences have damaged me a lot too, even more than I care to admit. The damage is carved deep below the surface, especially where trust is concerned - I think in reality, my main trust issues are with myself... I don't trust my judgement any more... and I definitely don't trust that I have enough to offer a partner.

The attitude and opinions of some single Mothers really angers me! If you are a Mother to a child and have cut their Father out of their life with no legitimate reason, then you disgust me!! Reading comments where single Mothers are finding some sick amusement in torturing the Father of their children by preventing access, smugly moving halfway across the country knowing it will damage the bond, or intentionally sabotaging the relationship the Fathers have with their children makes me physically shake with anger! Seriously, I get that some Fathers are absolute cunts who deserve everything they get, but I can tell from some of the things I read that isn't always the case - and after going through it all myself, I feel sick about some of the poor excuses for parents out there! Your children should always come first, not scoring some stupid fucking points over your ex by using your children as weapons and damaging their emotional stability! Some people really need give their fucking heads a wobble and see the bigger picture!!!

Once upon a time, I had a very bad drug addiction. The lifestyle I embraced lost me a lot of friends, pushed away my family, and almost cost me everything. When times got really dark, very few people actually cared enough to stick by me and help me through it - I am eternally grateful to those who did. I kerbed the lifestyle as my daughter was conceived; I changed everything that I could to be the best Father I can, the very essence of myself. I smashed the foundations to rubble and dust, and rebuilt myself on solid ground. My daughter alone gave me the clarity and willpower to quit the drugs, to change my lifestyle, and to get my life back on track. Tomorrow will mark my first full year completely drug free since 2008. To people who have never taken drugs that will seem like nothing - but to those who do take drugs/have taken drugs/have suffered from addiction, they will appreciate the strength and integrity that it's taken to come this far... especially those who know how bad I really was when I was the furthest off the rails. I could have slipped and relapsed at any time, I could have fallen back off the rails in an instant - more so since winning Court in August, as that took away the prospect of drugs tests, meaning I had nothing to lose besides my self respect if I did relapse. I already suspect that some people think they know the full story, but chances are they don't. Few people actually do. I am proud of the progress I have made, and this is still just the beginning of me becoming the man that I am supposed to be.

and wish the words that I say could extinguish.../
The fear in your tears as you try to forgive this,
heartbreak you've been forced now to live with.

People need to realise that emotions are contagious, if you surround yourself with negativity, people who complain, pessimists, defeatists, then they will bring you down. You constantly see the drama, the problems, the worries, and they rub off on you. But if you surround yourself with positive people, the optimists, the happy people who see the best in every situation, the silver lining in each cloud, then you will feel better. If you expose yourself to the beauty of the world, you will grow to see the beauty in yourself. We all have problems, we all have darkness we must overcome, and the easiest way to do that is to find the light in the people around you. Emotions are contagious, find the people who help to make you a better person. I cut off all the negativity, and I evolved into something bigger, stronger and better. When the weight of the world presses down on your shoulders, you have to believe you can lift it. When life places obstacles into your path, you have to believe you can overcome them. When everything seems dark, you have to believe you can bring the light out of yourself. You are greater than you could ever believe, I want you to show me.

We settle for the love that we believe we deserve. So many people stay in unhappy and unhealthy relationships, simply because they believe it's all they deserve. When you're single for an extended period of time, you start to notice patterns in other peoples relationships. You learn that love isn't easy, and only those who shelter and protect it ever truly appreciate it and reap the benefits. If you want to have a decent relationship, don't rush into it, don't get dependent on the security or you'll end up stick in a rut, and don't take each other for granted. Most of all, don't involve other people. If I've learned one thing from being single, it's that it's better staying alone, than settling for the wrong person.

I write you poems and letters so that when I'm gone, you can still know my thoughts and lessons. I write you songs so that when I'm no longer here, you can still find comfort in my voice, and hear all the things I want to tell you. I draw you pictures so that when I'm not around, you can still see the beauty of the world the way that I do through eyes that appreciate. I take photographs and videos so that when I am no more, your memories of us can still be shown to the world, and so that you never forget the precious moments that we share. I live my life for you, and even after my death, I will still remain in this world for you through these gifts that I make for you. I love you with all my heart, all my soul, and everything that I am. You complete me, wholly and unconditionally. Forever the two jigsaw pieces that make me a man that I only pray you are proud to call your Daddy. I love you Charlie and Ilysha, and nothing will ever change that. Thank you for all the magic you give to me. You are my world, and everything in it worth having. I love you both, like nothing I've ever known before. ♥

You reap what you sow, and karma can be a bitch, so be careful what bridges you burn, because sometimes you might want to walk back across them in the future. In short, don't treat somebody like a cunt, and then expect them to do you a favour a few months down the line.

"The mind is a labyrinth, ladies and gentlemen. A puzzle. And while the paths of the brain are clearly visible, its ways deceptively patterned, its destinations are unknown, its secrets still secrets. And, if we are honest, it is the lure of the labyrinth that draws us to our chosen field, to unlock those secrets. Others have been here before us and have left us signs, but we, as explorers of the mind, must devote our lives and energies to going further, to tread the unexplored corridors in the hope of finding ultimately... the final solution. We have to see, we have to know."

A year ago today, my life was changed forever when my beautiful daughter Ilysha Jade was born. It's not been an easy first year being a parent, but there isn't a single day that passes that I aren't eternally grateful to have such a perfect child to call my own. Ilysha, you amaze me and make me feel so proud just seeing you grow. It breaks my heart that I can't see you today, but when I see you Sunday, you can have lots more presents and my undivided attention. Daddy hopes you have the best day ever Princess Ilysha, because you are the best thing in my life. Happy Birthday! I love you and miss you, all my love Daddy x x x x x x x

"The fear of freedom; this is the idea that when you realise you're in total control of your life, and you have the power to do anything you want to do... which sounds great and liberating and inspiring... it's also terrifying as it means at some point you have to decide what you are doing with your one terribly short human life. What are your goals? What are your dreams? What do you want to achieve by the time you've died? I don't know what the goal is? To change the world? To just live a quiet unassuming life where I'm simply content with my existence? I don't know. They say ignorance is bliss, and I do wonder if my life would be more enjoyably simple if I didn't think about these things every day, but at the same time I get quite a satisfying feeling of enlightenment out of my own self-awareness. Which feels quite content. As well as depressing." #danisnotonfire

I am really lacking purpose and direction lately... I'm just trying to find my vocation, Locate the purpose I'm here to fulfil. I've probably got another 6 more decades, Full of time I don't want just to kill. I really need to find my meaning, The hole in the puzzle I was put here to fill. There's got to be more to life, Than counting down days until it's making me ill. Cause I'm sick of the nights spent dreaming, Trying to decide which direction to chase. My mind is a labyrinth it seems and, I'm lost in the maze trying to locate my place. I see it all so crystal clear that, My life is composed of chances to take. But the freedom is so overwhelming, With opportunities and decisions to make. So instead I find myself discarding time, I sit clock watching it fritter away. And if I don't wake up soon then, I fear I'll procrastinate straight to my grave...

Watch this video, and open your eyes. Russell Brand manages to beautifully connect with a younger demographic on a political level. His eloquent grasp of the English language is amazing! I'm mesmerised by the juxtaposition of his image and comedic approach, whilst retaining his well voiced stance on the state of the world. I truly believe that the development of a persons political views are a testament and reflection of their maturity. When you start actually taking an interest and caring about the state of the economy, the disparity between classes and living conditions, and the sustainment of our planet, that's when you know you've grown up. When I was younger I couldn't care less, and now, these things trouble my conscious. Perhaps it's age... or maybe it's because I have children now, and am forced to look beyond my own mortality. The world is a declining mess people, and we need to stop being ignorant to the situation and sort it out. #vivalarevolucion

Close the curtains please for major surgery,
I'll dissect all of your lies beyond uncertainty.
Took my financial support like it's a bursary, not university,
but still gave me the third degree.
Then tried to force me out your life with utter urgency,
anyone would think it was a damn emergency.
You called me a liar with no evidence so nervously,
then came to Court and personally committed perjury?
So ironically hypocritical, it's absurd to me,
claim to be a "full time mother"? Our daughter goes to nursery?
At last I'm going on the birth certificate deservedly,
and I know it really hurts you deep internally.
See you don't deserve to breathe for all the hurt and grief.
But now I smile because you've fucked yourself so perfectly.

Attitudes of some parents continue to astound me! When a 4yr old child innocently says "are you ok little black boy?" after accidently knocking them over on a bouncy castle - newsflash, it's not because the child is a racist, it's purely observational acknowledgement.

Quite enjoying this Bioshock 2 lark... a game where you play as someone called Big Daddy and you straight up massacre anybody that tries to hurt the young girl you are protecting? Yeah, I can definitely relate. Granted, you have the option to sacrifice the young girl at pretty much any given moment to make yourself stronger... but naturally I could never bring myself to do that, even in a computer game!

Two rules you should all live by to have a happier life. First, stop caring about what other people think - actually start living how you want without worrying about being judged by others. And secondly, stop making all the effort with people who can't be arsed to reciprocate - friendships and relationships require mutual commitment, you can't make either of them work by yourself. I've been following these two rules for a while now, and I'm much happier than I used to be!

I wish you'd take a minute to listen, 'cause you hurt me and I wish you didn't. Wish it was different, wish I felt indifferent, wish I wasn't wishing for a new opinion. Sitting thinking, seeking deep to find some inner peace or wisdom. Fact is I'm still spinning, still trying to fix the broken pieces from the hurricane you ushered in, and you split before the storm had finished destroying the picture perfect image we created in the minute that we locked pasts - lost laughs we left at the crossroads of crossed paths. The clocks stopped in my life, seems it only made your watch faster? I'm chasing out of breath, guess I can't catch ya', or even match the pace you've mastered. You're on the next chapter, and I hope the grass is greener than the last pasture, but I still can't grasp the fact, either way my hearts shattered. You were out my grasp faster than my eyes could even see the fractures.
