An overview of opinions and observations for the month.
01/01/2014
Here's to a brand New Year; a blank canvas for your
masterpiece, a fresh page for your epic novel. Don't simply talk about it -
live it <3
01/01/2014 @01:38
As we mature and grow, we blossom and flourish.../ Our family unit branches out, only often malnourished.../ We fail to acknowledge how segregated we are.../ Until the distance between twigs is uncomfortably far.../ By the time we realise the extent of mistakes.../ We all try to relent - yet too little, too late.../ All the tree's branches have grown their own leaves.../ Except for your own; you're alone in the breeze.
01/01/2014 @13:15
If you only achieve one thing in
2014, I hope that it's finding true happiness x
01/01/2014 @13:52
Off to spend the rest of New Years
Day with someone very special to me, my lil' ray of Sonshine :') - love you my
Charchar ♥

Trial by fire - Paint it Black, this Rolling Stone is back on track.../
His
home is where he lays his hat, and that's wherever Ily's at...

02/01/2014 @09:46
Today is the day we must say goodbye
And send you off peacefully to
God up high.
We'll never know why as we lay you to rest.
But I
believe it's because God only takes the best.

Everything is transient, nothing is permanent.
Appreciate life for what it is, and when the inevitable winds of change blow,
surrender to them with grace.
02/01/2014 @22:25
It's madness that I've just started my Take
Daily album for 2014... I've stuck to this project since 25th July 2010!
That's 1258 days in a row, or in layman's terms just shy of 3 and a half
years!
[feeling dedicated]
02/01/2014 @23:10
The main free game on PS+ for PS3 atm is
Borderlands 2?! Fuck yeah!
03/01/2014 @09:39
First proper day back at work, and it's a
Friday! BOOST!
[feeling accomplished]
03/01/2014 @17:10
TGIF, my motivation level peaked at about 38%
around 11am, since then I've been treading water and clock watching! Roll on
half 5!
[feeling blah]
04/01/2014 @00:08
Pessimism is an emotion, not a philosophy. Brush
that shit off, and keep smiling. You are beautiful to me ♡
04/01/2014 @01:08
Had a casual night with my brother from another,
think it's time I have my last smoke of the night, then get some shut eye
before seeing my little munchkin tomorrow! ♡
[with Christopher Downs]
04/01/2014 @08:55
Well, I do believe it's almost time to go fetch
my lil' Princess, so I guess smiles o'clock is fast approaching! Have a lovely
day all you lovely people ♡
[feeling wonderful]
04/01/2014 @21:00
Amazing day with my little Princess Pumpkin
Pants, now for a few beers & a Hobbit double bill...

Time for another afternoon with my lil' Prince
Charming :') ♡

You know it's been a long busy weekend when
you're considering going to bed at 19:30 on a Sunday night...
[feeling
tired]
05/01/2014 @20:42
I've had my fair share of the worst pain.../
Yet it hurt worse
witnessing your world change.

05/01/2014 @20:48
You brought the fading fires back to the forefront, striked the match.../ Like lightning fast inciting that insightful silence that I'd lacked.../ Made the night skies fade from black, raised the light to break my mask.../ To take the hate inside I'd stacked and gave me back the life I'd trashed.
05/01/2014 @21:49
I'm intrigued to see how they will make a 2.5hr
film out of just 5 chapters/61 pages of content. I anticipate a lot of
embellishment. #Hobbit
06/01/2014 @06:54
This is a testament to how good my life must be
at the moment: I woke up this morning, reached up to open my bedroom curtain
whilst still lying in bed (as I sleep under the window) and proceeded to pull
the entire curtain rail off by accident, which then fell and landed on my
face... and I wasn't even annoyed, I was amused. Have a good morning all you
lovely people, I'm off to the gym!
[feeling fresh]

Being positive is the conscious choice to smile
in the face of adversity, so decide to be happy and refuse to let
insignificant troubles ruin your day. Simply smile, and find comfort in the
knowledge that the world is a beautiful place, life is a beautiful gift, and
you are a beautiful soul ♡
[feeling positive]
06/01/2014 @19:32
The easiest way to identify what matters most in
your life, is to take a moment to reflect on what you would miss the most if
tomorrow never came. In all honesty, for 99% of us, it would be our family and
those people that we care the most about. This fact alone proves that material
possessions are superfluous in the greater scheme of things - and should
remind us all to appreciate those we care about, and never miss the
opportunity to tell people how much you love them, and how thankful you are to
have them in your life.

If you're ever feeling sad, watch this, and
remember that life is so much happier when you have no worries or cares :') ♥
06/01/2014 @21:02
Just playing with my precious little girl, her
smile is the best sight I've ever known :') ♥
06/01/2014 @21:07
A stack of cups in front of Ilysha is like a red
flag to a bull... she just has to knock 'em down!! :') x
06/01/2014 @21:15
My little Princess gets more and more vocal
every week hehe, it's amazing just hearing her chuntering away to herself, or
even more so, when she's bantering with me :') ♥
06/01/2014 @21:21
If it's built or stacked, Ilypie will demolish
it! No task too big! She even carries away the debris for disposal! haha :D ♥
06/01/2014 @21:34
My little girl has learned how to climb onto my
sofa! As a result I had to play Changing Rooms in the middle of the day and
move my sofa as a precaution so she didn't swan dive over the back of it haha
:P ♥
06/01/2014 @22:07
Never underestimate how observant and perceptive
children are... they pick up on, copy and mimic everything they see you do!
Sometimes it's horrifying (as a smoker!) and other times... other times it's
absolutely adorable and amazing! :') ♥
06/01/2014 @23:16
For anybody interested or involved in computer
game design, I highly recommend watching this... talk about an emotional
insight into the stresses, worries, pride and joy experienced by the people
behind the pixels... inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time. Really
makes me want to get back into games design, to instil a part of me into
something permanent, a piece of myself immortalised... and scares me off at
the same time.

The sooner you realise that life is imperfect,
the sooner you can stop believing you need to be perfect to fit in it. We all
have flaws, none of us are without fault; the fact that I already know this,
means I have realistic expectations of people. We all fuck up from time to
time, we all make mistakes, hurt feelings, break hearts, beckon tears... but
the only thing that truly matters is whether you can honestly look in the
mirror and be happy with who is looking back at you. Your opinion of yourself
is more important than anybody else's, so stop trying to live up to their
expectations and just be comfortable in your own skin. We are all our own
biggest critics, so be critical about yourself, and when you find a part of
you that you're uncomfortable with, change it instead of hiding it. Be a
better person today than you were yesterday.

Fantasy: do something productive. Reality: do
nothing productive.
07/01/2014 @21:43
Tonight has actually turned out fairly
productive, sorted out a few bits and pieces I've been delaying.

07/01/2014 @22:39
I bash love cause I'm scared of the hurting,
expectations falter to
worse things.../
Cursing all past girls
I invited to spy inside
these black curtains.

I knock love cause I'm done with the heartbreak,
Harsh taste of tears
that appeared in this hard race.
I can't face all the fears that I
can't change,
Plus trust is an issue that is here in my scarred
frame.
Along with the baggage that I carry through the dark days -
Then
how could I manage if we ever had to part ways?
So I've sealed up the
bars to this large cage -
And here I'll remain 'til the shame in my
heart fades.

I took up my sword in a purposeful grip.../
And fought each addiction

Walk a mile in my shoes and you'd get blistered feet.../ I run on hot coals yet I grew to resist the heat.../ They say I'm 'shallow', and yet I still spit this 'deep'.../ I only 'vomit tears'... cause I'm that 'sick' of 'grief'...

As an aspiring music artist, somebody who has a real passion for what they do, it cuts deep when your audience fail to connect with you or embrace the fruits of your labours. You spend countless hundreds of hours of your life focusing on creating something immortal and beautiful, hoping for a little recognition or appreciation... instead you receive minimal support or involvement from the very people you try so desperately to reach out to. Perhaps it's time I got the hint, after recording around 230 tracks that nobody has the time, patience, or interest to warrant investing any more time into this seemingly pointless venture. I'm done with wasting my time, energy and effort. Peace.

It's definitely not about game breaking

Definitely going give this a chance I reckon! I
love how the US are already on episode 9... guess a marathon is on the cards

Curling up in your own bed after an exhausting
day is one of the simplest pleasures life has to offer. I've got 99 first
world problems, but this ain't one.
[feeling relaxed]
12/01/2014 @21:45
What do watching videos on YouTube and having a
beer have in common? One is never enough.
12/01/2014 @12:49
Well, that lie in was overdue... I woke up,
posted my last status whilst still lying in bed playing on my phone, and fell
back asleep for another 3 hours. *Yawn*
12/01/2014 @16:23
Unusual day with my lil Prince Charchar... he's
spent most of it curled up with me on the armchair watching Mr Bean... not a
very well little boy today :( x

If you want to cut out the negativity in your
life, start by unfollowing all the miserable cunts on here who constantly post
drama and attention seeking statuses! I swear I unfollow at least one person a
day lately because all they do is spam my newsfeed with neggy vibes!

So very proud of my little Princess's walking
now! She has come on leaps and bounds! Look at her go here, proper just
waddling around, dancing and swinging her arms around hehe... madness how fast
she is learning and developing! Where did my little baby go!? Seems like just
the other week when she couldn't even crawl properly and I was stressing about
her development because other kids her age were already walking confidently...
Daddy loves you so much Ilysha, and I am so proud of you! Seeing you grow up
is the best thing I've ever known and experienced! :') ♥ xo

It would be a wise idea to turn off the PS3 and
go to bed, Ben.
[playing Skyrim]
13/01/2014 @09:15
Sleep; it's just an inconvenience really innit.
Think of how much more stuff you could get done in those 6+ hours a night.
It's like wasting 25% or more of your life.
14/01/2014 @08:29
It's been said that happiness, laughter and
smiles are contagious; so if you want to be a miserable bastard today, avoid
me. I'm like a walking talking positivity virus, and some of you are about to
get infected...

I reckon another 4 tonight to bring me up to date :)

I get paid to fix tech issues at work, yet it appears tonight has progressed to the equivalent of unpaid overtime. [feeling annoyed]
Well that's it, my 22" LCD monitor has finally gone faulty. Based on independent research, the diagnosis appears to be that the screen inverter has booked it, packed it and fucked off. To be fair, it's done me proud for the £200 I paid for it about 7 years ago... now it's just a case of either getting it fixed or replacing it, on a ridiculously tight budget. And by a ridiculously tight budget I mean I have no money... *cry cry*

Forgiveness is not absolution.

All is transient, nothing is forever. Time changes everything.

Such simple things like Ilysha fighting to stay awake whilst in her cot, but then falls asleep in my arms straight away :') ♥ - this hailstorm best not wake her up!

Roll on tomorrow morning, never been so excited about going the dentists... I'm in fucking agony!

Rushes across the room to give me a kiss! :') - so sweet! ♥ x
Amazed by all her little developments, and fascinated just watching her grow! Nothing compares to being a parent... nothing even comes close! ♥ x
