It's almost time for the annual entry in my little black book as I turn 27 this weekend; I always add at least one new name to the list each year. Please send your applications for at least one night of unbridled passion to my inbox, and I'll select a *lucky winner. Previous winners need not apply. If it takes a while to hear back, it's possibly because I'm inundated with submissions to sort through, alternatively (and more likely) it's because I'm having a cry wank. * lucky is used under artistic licence
01/09/2014 @23:22
I'll take that.

I hear a song and your face appears instantly;
and I wonder if you ever even think of me?

I've always been fairly ignorant towards the Islamic religion, primarily because I'm an atheist; it's easier to understand Muslim rape gangs in the UK after learning a little about their religion. So it transpires that the amazingly great Prophet Muhammad married a six year old girl called Aisha, and consummated the marriage (had sex with her) when she was nine. Muhammad was 53 at the time. Now I'm no scholar on the subject, but as far as religious brainwashing goes, I'm fairly confident that the example set by Islam is nothing short of fucking mental. Are you surprised really that Muslims think raping kids is okay, when their almighty leader, equivalent to Jesus Christ, was having sex with a nine year old? I notice they never taught that part in RE at school...
03/09/2014 @08:46
I'm never quite sure who's happiest about schools starting back; the children or their parents.

I think it's safe to say that a corner has been turned; Marie just text me to ask if I want to have Ilysha overnight again next weekend.

Fuck me, and that my friends is how you make a fucking point! Torn a new one does not even come close!
04/09/2014 @20:37
It's never too late to show your support; it will always be a coping mechanism for me regardless, but it's always appreciated when other people can enjoy it too :)

Homophobia is one of the most retarded logics in existence; intolerance for something that does not even affect you. The (illogical) taboo that surrounded this issue in the past has diminished into nothingness in recent years - it is widely accepted and acknowledged now that there exists a strong diversity in sexual preference and orientation, and there is no "right" and "wrong" and nor should there have ever been in the first place. It genuinely sickens me how people can so readily judge, harass and ostracise people for simply being themselves. If you have a legitimate problem with homosexuals, or bisexuals, or any of the LGBT community whatsoever for that matter, do me a favour and fuck yourself off. Seriously. I'm not trying to be some white knight activist for gay rights, and I appreciate that I myself have been known to use certain terminology as an insult in the past; but I accept that this was just remnants of past social conditioning, and I consciously try to remain aware at all times of my choice of vocabulary these days. It disgusts me that we've become so ignorant to what we're saying and the implication of the negativity attached to it; even when people aren't homophobic they use "gay", "faggot" and the like as a choice insult. It disgusts me even more that people in this day and age still try to suppress other peoples rights; live and let live, love and let love.

No freedom till we're equal, damn right I support it."

The older you get, the more difficult it becomes to meet new people. Life gets in the way as we readily become victims to routine, and as old friendships fade, it isn't always so easy to replace them. It is a sad fact that once you have left the social circus of education, and secured yourself stable employment, you simply do not encounter the situations whereby making new friends is easily done; we do not move in new circles very often. Instead we soon grow accustomed to seeing the same faces every day, and detesting the idea of pushing ourselves into uncomfortable environments to meet new people through fear of looking like charity cases begging for friends, or simply because we do not have the time. It is inevitable old friendships will wilt, because as we grow up our passions develop, and often our common interests become maligned. We spend more and more time focusing on sorting out our own lives, and less time worrying about other peoples; it becomes a chore to maintain unreciprocated efforts and ultimately we throw in the white towel. Perhaps I have become overly harsh lately, and allowed too many people to simply walk out of my life without making a fuss; then again, perhaps if they were worth keeping in my life, they wouldn't have left so effortlessly? Regardless, I'm sure I'll be amused by most of the people sending me birthday messages on Saturday who don't even bother to speak to me any other day of the year, simply because social convention dictates they should offer their hollow regards. They say you can count your real friends on one hand; sometimes I think they're overestimating.
04/09/2014 @22:10
You used to be such a very big part of me.../
Now we barely even speak and it's hard for me.

Sat in Spoons with the work crew & Marie texts asking if I can have Ily tonight cause she thinks she has broke her fingers & will drop her off at mine. Nope, sorry sweetheart, I'll pick her up in the morning.
06/09/2014 @19:14
Tonight when I dropped Ilysha off at home, she stood with her arms out reaching towards me in the doorway shouting "come back" as I was leaving, and then she was getting really upset, and finally ran out the house from Marie chasing me down the driveway crying and pleading for me to come back... Marie had to carry her back into the house kicking and crying and shut the door! So heartbreakingly sweet - I'm not actually sure whether I loved it or not yet! Love my little Princess too much!! x x x ♥

It's cool if you spam me about how good a night you're having up town. It's cool if you spam me about how rough you feel the next day. It's not cool if you do both, it's annoying as hell. If you can't hack a hangover, don't drink like you're Charlie Sheen.
07/09/2014 @22:05
This is my passion.../
Invested too much to quit with the rapping.

Falling back into that rut of feeling like I'm just drifting through days again; the tell tale sign is when I'm not working or spending time with my kids, and all I can think of doing is going for a bevvy to get out the house.

It is a new day full of experiences and memories yet to be made; face the ugly world with a beautiful smile, meet the darkness with your brilliant light, and no matter what happens, choose to be happy! Have a great day you wonderful individual! <3 ["We are defined by our actions toward others. Not others actions toward us."]

I probably wouldn't mind Ilysha's fascination with Peppa Pig so much...
So uhm yeah, you should definitely go check out @Lords of Gravity!
Very seldom I can share this luxury, and only with a few.

Had an absolutely lovely night watching the Continental Circus Berlin at The Trentham Estate! Highly recommend it to anybody who hasn't got plans over the next couple of nights! Well worth it!
The only difficult thing about being the Daddy of a young girl, is my inherent inability to do anything beyond a basic ponytail with her hair.

Is it only the people you care most about that ever really let you down? Or does it just feel that way due to the fact that you care so much about them?

Every thing in my life is perfect right now, except for solitude.

I write my lyrics to you; you're the perfect instrumental."

Getting undressed ready for bed, literally stood in just my boxers... I hold my jeans out in front of me and sort of 'whip' them over to fold them quickly and the belt buckle smacks me violently straight in the nuts. It's been a while since I've been curled up in the foetal position in pain.
So this month I've had my second pay rise this year, been officially promoted to IT Supervisor, and plus I've got a little minion starting his employment tomorrow for me to delegate work too. Life is good.

The soundtrack and music selection for Sons of Anarchy never fails to impress, and this is a banger.
Congratulations to me for not being a moron.

Curiosity killed the friendship.
If you focus on the negatives, it becomes difficult to see the positives. Reject the ugly, embrace the beauty. Happiness is a choice; choose to smile!! :) ♡

First thing Sunday morning when your hangovers taken, it's toll.../

Bed ready for seeing my Princess Ilysha in the morning :') ♥
"I love her smile. I love her hair. I love her knees. I love this heart-shaped birthmark she has on her neck. I love the way she sometimes licks her lips before she talks. I love the sound of her laugh. I love the way she looks when she's sleeping. I love how I hear this song every time I think of her. I love how she makes me feel, like anything's possible; like life is worth it."
[watching 500 Days of Summer]
This weekend Ilysha has brought a special visitor with her from nursery, a young chap named Travelling Tom. I've put together a brief little diary for Marie to share with the nursery of our day together, take a look if you have the time :) ♥

The mistakes and failings in your past are not an indication of your future potential; accepting things for what they are allows you to move forward and make positive changes within your control. Your life will not be remembered or defined by what you possess at the end, but rather by what you pursued and achieved; forget the past and the emotional baggage, and instead focus on how awesome you can make your future and your legacy.
[feeling blessed]
I wish that you would all watch this, that you would actually watch it and really take the time to listen, not just click play and not truly pay attention. I wish that you would find the time to appreciate the raw honesty, the validity of the points, and the heartbreaking reality in this poetic message. I wish you would realise that we are all perfect, and it's our actions and perceptions that make it seem otherwise. We are writing history this very moment, and my heart bleeds for the direction of humanity.

Made a good start on sorting out my iTunes this morning and deleting all the shite music I've accumulated over the years so that I've only got decent stuff left. I'm down to only having 27,292 songs in my library now.
So, the decriminalisation of weed. I've only just seen that Colorado has legalised possession and cultivation of weed, and that on this Nov 4th election, Washington DC is poised to follow suit with Initiative 71. At present Washington actually allows adults aged 21+ to legally possess up to 1oz of weed for use in private (public use is illegal), but cannot cultivate without a licence. "Initiative 71 allows adults over the age of 21 to possess up to two ounces of marijuana on their person at any time, and allows for the cultivation of up to six marijuana plants at home." Looking further into this decriminalisation, I read that: - In Colorado over 21's can legally possess up to 1oz of weed, and locals and tourists can buy a quarter oz in a single transaction. - In Uruguay pharmacies can sell up to 1.4oz of weed per month to consumers aged over 18 who are on a Government register and are Uruguayan citizens. Registered users can also grow up to six plants at home for personal use. - In Amsterdam over 18's with valid ID can buy up to 5g a day in coffee shops, however street sales are illegal. Smoking weed is tolerated in most public places, provided it isn't around kids. And I've saved the most insane thing I've ever read until last: In Portugal, all drugs including weed, coke and smack have effectively been decriminalised since 2001 for personal use under certain restrictions!!
It's safe to say that US law enforcement make a rod for their own backs; how can you expect civilians to respect your authority, when you constantly abuse your position of power?! The fuck is wrong with these people?!

Epic music is epic.
"Oh thank you, you're such a gentleman" said the woman to the bloke letting her go before him in the bus queue. Apparently gentlemen turn up after I've already been waiting at the bus stop for 25 minutes and push in front of me, and 4 others. The prick.
I know nobody will see my status but sometimes I look on Google to find out why the fuck people are pretending that they pretend to be carrots.
Cutest voice in the world even at 6am, and getting so grown up with her vocabulary and manners :'') x

"I want men to take up this mantle. So their daughters, sisters and mothers can be free from prejudice but also so that their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human too - reclaim those parts of themselves they abandoned, and in doing so be a more true and complete version of themselves."

"You're born with a ton of fucks to give, so you spend them like a kid with a credit card. You give fucks about your friends, about your grades, about your fashion sense, about strangers' opinions. You give way too many fucks about way too many things you have so many. Then, as you get older, you have maybe 10 fucks per month, so you learn to budget them. You allocate fucks to family and career, but there aren't enough fucks left to give to the newest fads. Oh, someone at work has something they need my help with that's outside my job title? I'll do my best to allocate some fucks, but this month is pretty tight. Then, as you get even older, you're down to 1-2 fucks a month, and those fucks are damn precious. You give them to your family and your hobbies and your job, and that's kinda it. It's not your fault fucks expire too quickly, I would have liked to save my fucks from when I was younger but I can't. Then, you hit fuck insolvency. You're getting like 1 fuck per year, and you have to make it last. So you go without, and even previously fuck-worthy things, you just can't give a fuck about. Some people run out really quickly, some people have a fuck trust fund that pays out a decent amount even into old age. But at some point, the fuck faucet runs completely dry and you're out of fucks to give. It's just basic fuckonomics."

I approve of this message.

It would appear that most people's next relationship, will be with the same person as their previous relationship. Never ceases to amaze me when a couple break up, slag each other off, then get back together; and it's fairly common these days.
When you have children, the only purpose in your life should be fighting to be their hero with every breath you draw - be sure to cherish them, because they truly are the best gifts life will ever offer.

My obsessive hoarding extends beyond physical items; I've just found 1,775 photos and videos on my PC in an old folder from when I backed up the memory cards from Dawn Wheels Owen & Sheila Scott phones; all of them are of Charlie from when he was really young (most from the first couple of years of his life) and no doubt there's quite a lot there that we thought were gone forever ♥
Just been reading loads of inbox messages on my old Facebook account, and it's like I was a completely different person back then... undeniably more confident and nonchalant when speaking to females; nowadays I can barely string a couple of coherent sentences together.
Going get myself sorted and go birthday present shopping for Ilysha :') ♥
Pay day hype.

"I have seen young men suffering from mental illness, unable to ask for help, for fear it would make them less of a man. In fact, in the UK, suicide is the biggest killer of men between 20 to 49, eclipsing road accidents, cancer and coronary heart disease. I have seen men made fragile and insecure by a distorted sense of what constitutes male success. "
@Emma Watson
Seen quite a lot of "shuffling" videos lately as the latest dance craze sweeps the globe, but this is easily one of the most mesmerising I've seen. Fantastic execution, looks effortless!

I hate when people disseminate inaccurate "facts" and propaganda that they find online as gospel without any verification of it's legitimacy. Don't naively believe everything that you read, especially not stuff on Facebook.
