Monthly Musings: October 2016

An overview of opinions and observations for the month.

Had a lovely albeit manic night out with Ilysha & the rest of the family celebrating my big brother Terry Scott turning 30 tomorrow πŸ’—

Happy 30th Birthday to my big brother, my best friend and my constant through everything. You've always had my back, forever in my corner, giving me strength and having faith in me. When most others have stepped back, you've been there supporting me and encouraging me to be the best possible version of me that I can be and I hope you're proud of how far I've come in trying to be a decent man. We've shared that healthy sibling rivalry that has pushed us both forward and have that unbreakable bond as far back as I remember. I know I can tell you everything and you'll still be there, no matter how foolish my mistakes, or how careless my actions. My entire life has been spent with you beside me as the big brother I look up to and am proud to tell the world about. From two little boys, to two grown men, many of my fondest treasured memories are those that I share with you. I don't think you'll ever understand just how much you mean to me, and how lucky I truly feel to call you my brother. You're the best and only big brother I'll ever need or want, and I love you to the ends of the Earth. You've always been gold to me, and I hope your birthday is filled with everything you deserve. I hope that we'll always remember, when we were two little boys ♥ love you big bro x

Back to life, back to reality 🎢 After a lovely week off, it's time to get ready for work once more... ughh lol. Wish I could be spending the day out at sea on a jetski or speedboat under the blazing sun instead!!

It's so easy to let the world beat you down, to get stressed, depressed and vexed... just smile, choose to be positive, and remember that you have a 100% track record so far for persevering! Life is what you make it - get out there & get what you want from it!

What kind of loser has nothing better to do than wander the streets of Stoke-on-Trent dressed as a clown on a Friday night? With all the violent wrong'uns round here, it's more likely to be the clowns running off after a confrontation anyway.

Been up since 5:40am with a little Princess with a poorly tummy who has decorated my living floor with what resembles cottage cheese. It's a good job I can handle the smell when I'm cleaning it up. She better perk up, we have a birthday party to attend later on!!

Devo'd mate! I bought a PS4 the other day & now I realise I literally just missed out on having Journey for free via PS+! Ugh! Really loved the look of that title ever since I saw the trailers & gameplay footage! Reminiscent of indie titles like Flower, Flow, Braid, Brothers, Limbo etc! Is it decent? It may be a reluctant purchase in due course! X

I'd like to publicly thank the following companies for their assistance in pissing me the fuck off today:
1) Kier: Fuck you very much for needlessly closing the sliproad to the M5 in Birmingham causing it to take 3.5hrs to get back home from Redditch because there was a small puddle of hydraulic fluid in a gutter of the inside lane half a mile after the lanes merge to join.
2) Tesco: Eat a fat dick for relocating 50% of the stock in your Hanley branch and not being arsed to update your signage to indicate where it can now be found resulting in my usual 10 minute shop taking 40 minutes.
3) First PMT: Suck my balls for your driver on the 8pm 7A bus driving like he was starring in a remake of Speed, pulling off like a drag race before I could even sit down with 3 bags of shopping, then braking hard enough to cause whiplash multiple times throughout the journey. Fuck you all very much, cunts!!
[feeling fed up]

Whoever made the decision to close the M5 sliproad at J2 today is a moron, needlessly added about 2hrs onto my journey, ugh!! @kiergroup

I remember once when my Dad gave me money to pay the electricity bill but instead I bought a raffle ticket for the chance to win a brand new car. When I got home, I explained to my dad what I'd done and he beat the crap out of me. But the next day when my Dad woke up and opened the door, outside my house was a brand new car! We all cried! Especially me, because the car was from the electricity company. They were there to cut off the electricity, so my Dad beat the crap out of me again.

14/10/2016 @22:40
Just found this that I wrote a couple years back, and even now every word still rings painfully true. It's difficult letting go of someone who was a big part of your life, but it's even more difficult trying to hold tightly to an absent hand. I've lost a lot of people in my life; as you get older you become more accepting when people fade away because you are preoccupied with your own problems and responsibilities... but when it is someone who had been there beside you all the way back to your childhood, it breaks your heart every time you acknowledge their absence... πŸ˜’πŸ’” "There is so much I want to say to you, but I simply don’t have the courage. You’ve been a huge part of me for so long; my first ever love, the only girl who has held a piece of my heart for as long as I remember. We were so perfect, and my fondest childhood memories all involve you. You gave me the sweetest memories, the most precious times. You’ve been my security since forever, the one I always run back to - the one girl who can make me fall apart whenever she so chooses. But we’ve changed. I accept I changed first - I fell into a bad crowd, I got into drugs, I never made time for you and whenever I tried you pushed me away because of the lifestyle I led. And we grew apart. I realise now how shit of me that was, how inconsiderate and how much I failed you, how much I failed us. I fought to get myself back on the right track, back to who I used to be. And it wasn’t easy, but I finally succeeded. I made it back, but it was too late. I’d already lost you. You changed too. It was inevitable really. After all the times you’d judged me, it was you who ended up leading the very same lifestyle that you’d rejected me for. You started lying to avoid seeing me, to get out of us spending time together. I never confronted you about it, but I couldn’t let it go - after everything, I was too observant and analytical. I know a few times for sure, but suspect more times than I can prove. Tonight you’d planned to come see me, but said the bus never turned up when you’d been waiting at the bus stop for over an hour… I was waiting for you at the bus stop where you should have got off and the bus came past when it should have, which means you lied about it not turning up. I guess what I’m saying is that I realise now… it’s over. We’re over. There is no future for us, because we both let our relationship die. We let our friendship die. I’m not blaming you, but I’m not taking the blame either. I’m merely acknowledging the facts. I love you. I’ll always love you. But I’m done with waiting for you, praying we can be what we once were. Everything has changed. Nothing is right anymore. It’s time to leave our happiness as nothing more than a beautiful memory in my past. I can’t bear to taint my memory of us anymore. It hurts to think less of you xo"

15/10/2016 @09:07
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. πŸ’—

My coffee is taking a hammering this morning! Ilysha woke me up at 06:10am, and proceeded to scream the house down at 06:11am because I hadn't carried her downstairs and got her some milk, biscuits and put the TV on... I'd been 'awake' for approximately 50 seconds at this point, and I use the term 'awake' lightly, because I aren't even sure the state I was in at that point qualifies as being awake! *Yawn* ... it's a good job she's my favourite person! ♥

Dear Princess Ilysha, It seems absolutely insane to me that today is your fourth birthday. Four years that have flown by, bringing both laughter and tears every step of the way. Four years ago I was holding you in the hospital, gazing down at your innocent curious face in amazement at how I could have been involved in creating something so precious and perfect. Fast forward to today and I still look at you with the same magical feeling of astonishment, bewildered by the miracle that blessed me with your presence. You are so grown up now, that innocent little baby I held four years ago has blossomed into a beautiful, independent little girl. It both breaks my heart and fills me with pride to watch you grow, to witness you develop and evolve into your own individuality. No matter how big you get, how witty, clever, creative, and cheeky you become, you will always be my little baby and I will always be your Daddy. You are the greatest contribution I will ever make to this world, the very best piece and part of me, and I hope with all that I am, that your day is as enchanting and magical as you make every moment I spend with you feel. Happy 4th Birthday my little Princess Ilypie, your Daddy loves you more than you will ever know. x x x πŸ’—

18/10/2016 @18:28
Just had a lovely little chat with my birthday girl, and she sounded so chuffed with all her presents as she was trying to tell me how spoiled she has been. Bless her, the little pudding was trying show me what she'd had until her Mum informed her it wasn't Facetime haha :) ♥ xo

Has anyone got any experience with printing their own design on a cake at ASDA? I was all ready to go down there to get a Pokemon design added to a cake for Ilysha, and the website says you can't use any copyrighted images, ugh. Reckon they'd still do it? Don't want waste my time getting there to be told no! >.<

Had a lovely albeit hectic day celebrating my little Princess Ilysha's 4th birthday. From the 4am wakeup, to the morning of Daddy & daughter time playing with all her new toys, and then onto the crazy afternoon with a lot of the family crammed into my house that seems to shrink whenever I have company, I'd consider the day an overwhelming success as Ilysha had a wonderful day πŸ˜„ - thanks to Stace for coming through with a bespoke Pikachu cake, Terry for all of the help in making the day magical with all his help, and all the family who came by to share in the celebrations - my little sweetheart has had a very happy day ♥ xo

This weekend has been non-stop, productive and refreshing. Had a lovely time yesterday, celebrating my Ilysha's 4th Birthday, and a brilliant time today out with my Sonshine on a 4 mile mission followed by a good thrashing of co-op CoD Zombies. I've spent some quality time with both family & friends, had a few beers, a takeaway, watched some TV, a couple of films, played a fair bit of PS4 and completed JC3, had a good overdue catch up with a friend in Oz, done a bit of cleaning & housekeeping, and now I'm off too bed feeling thoroughly at peace with the world and very content with my life 😌😊

Been worried sick about Ilysha wondering where the hell she was!! Turns out she decided to go straight out for a few glasses of wine after work with a couple of mates and didn't think to let me know! Now she's rocked up in this state talking about she's "never drinking ever again"! She is absolutely hammered! Get the impression I'm gonna be holding her hair back later over the toilet shortly!!!

To quote myself on this from 29/06/16: "When we see false flag operations, often against weaker countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria under the guise of a global terrorist threat, it is often actually manipulation, smoke and mirrors to allow the seizure of resources and ultimately profit from oil. Libya has the largest oil reserves in Africa and among the ten largest globally." [http://www.organicandhealthy.org/2016/10/hillary-eamils-reveal-nato-killed.html] And to quote the article: "One of the 3,000 Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department on New Year’s Eve has revealed evidence that NATO’s plot to overthrow Gaddafi was fueled by first their desire to quash the gold-backed African currency, and second the Libyan oil reserves." ...

29/10/2016 @19:53
I fail to see how any sane person can honestly believe Clinton is a better choice than Trump, example discussion: Trump supporter: "It has been statistically, scientifically, and irrefutably proven that Hillary is satan incarnate." Clinton supporter: "Yeah, but Trump has a stupid haircut."

29/10/2016 @20:29
Instagram can fuck rate off! Ropey as fuck this is... I don't buy 'coincidence' one bit. All my suggested friends are people I'd expect beside Daffers below... want to know why it's odd that she is suggested? Because she is my landlady who I have no digital connection with beside her phone number saved in my device. Bullshit is she suggested based on 'likes'.

30/10/2016 @09:52
Coincidence; today is the 30th of the 10th... 30 x 10 = 300... and today is genuinely the 300th day I've seen Ilysha in her life haha :')
