Monthly Musings: August 2015

An overview of opinions and observations for the month.

Rights lads, done a bit of research since it's approaching: First of all, I think we should consider getting a Budapest Card each for when we're there; it costs approx £24 for a 72 hour card and that includes free admissions to select sightseeing locations, discounts at certain venues, and unlimited use of public transport:

Looking into expected costs to help get an idea of what spending money we should be taking, this link shows the cost of living in Budapest for general daily expenditure (food/drinks etc). Looks like a pint costs about a quid or two...

And finally looking into the commute from the Airport to the City Centre I think we would be best getting a taxi: "In Budapest all taxis must be painted yellow and have a standardised meter and rates. The standard fare is 450f to start and 280f per additional km. The official taxi company for Airport runs are FΓΆ Taxi; they have a booth inside the airport terminal, and will get you to the city centre for about £13-£18."

"This is your life now: no natural behaviour, everybody is wearing clothes they don’t want to wear, everybody's showing up and doing something they don’t want to do, that they have no connection to. That’s the problem with our society. And then what’s the reward for all this stuff? Go home, get a big TV. Go home, your going to get a shiny belt buckle. You’re going to get a nice purse. You’re going to wear shoes that you couldn't afford last week. You’re going to get that dream car. And every week we’re chasing down this new object, and every week, we’re trying to fill this hole, in this sad shadow of a life that we've been left with after work. That you work eight to whatever the hours a day, plus commuting, and then you’re like this... *sigh* - and that’s your life. That’s your real fucking life. All that other stuff is not your life any more. All that other stuff is work. And most of us have committed to that."

Happiness is the conscious decision to refuse life the satisfaction of bringing you down... it will try, Lord fucking knows it will, but when times are darkest, reflect on all the obstacles you've overcome to make it here today ✌

I never fall in love with new girls any more; I simply fall back in love with one's who got away.

"So I'm taking the high road, my engines running high and fine.../
May I always see the road rising up to meet me
and my enemies defeated in the mirror behind."

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.

Well, that was utterly pointless. Evacuated into the pissing rain for an hour because of a "gas leak"; the gas board come out, and tell us to go back in.

Oooh, nice weather, I may take Ilysha up the Bramptons... *goes overcast* Hmm, okay maybe we could go Just Kidding instead... *Ilysha starts dozing off* Fine, guess we're staying in today... *turns on TV*

I keep my eyes wide open all the time."

It's with sad admittance, I concede that I can no longer continue pursuing this fruitless venture. It was good the first time around, I enjoyed it and stuck with it... but despite my best intentions, efforts and usual persistence, I can not put myself through any more. I am done with it. I have tried, Lord knows I have, to just put up with the drama and confusion, but it's gotten to the point I have to just call it a day. So as a result of recent events it's with a heavy heart I say goodbye to True Detective. It's not me, it's you.

Very interesting... not what I expected whatsoever!


18/08/2015 @23:10
Well, that's 8 episodes of Mr. Robot devoured since yesterday. Thoroughly addicted.

Holy shit balls! Epicness 101 right here!

Six years ago my life changed forever when my amazing little Sonshine came into this world; I may not be his biological parent, but he will always be my own Son and be treated as such! He has made me a better person, and I will be eternally grateful for the happiness and pride he brings me. I hope you have had a wonderful birthday today my Charchar as perfect as you are! I love you all the world! Happy 6th Birthday Sonshine. x x x ♡ x x x

"I'll have an early night because I need sort this sleep pattern out. It's getting ridiculous." That's going well I'm sure you'll agree.

Today has been spent curled up on an armchair scumbagging... I've watched Furious 7, Kingsmen, 7th Son, and now onto Run All Night... if I am being ignorant, blame the fact I drank like a student last night and went bed at 05:30 and have literally no interest in speaking to anybody until tomorrow...
