August 26th. It would have been my dads' 64th birthday today.
It is weird how it was only last year when a load of people were in a pub drinking on my dads' 63rd birthday.
Cardiff City beat Manchester City 3-2 yesterday (on the 25th). It made me happy. My dad would have been pissed off.
I am writing this just to try and point out how horrifically short life is.
It is impossible-or not a thing that people should do-which is to "live your life like each day is your last." That is ridiculous. You can't do that. But what you can do is live life as much and as fully as you can. Too many people just exist and don't really live life. I do it myself.
I can't really explain what to do. But you have to do what you want to do. Things are possible that you might not think or you might not even convince yourself to be possible-the easier thing to do is not to try. If you don't try you can't fail. People fall into doing this all the time.
But why not try?? Why not fail and then try again?? Why not just fucking go for anything you want to do?? Life is precious. Life can be amazing if you want it to be.
There is 22 hours and 7 minutes to go til this day is over and it is the 27th . I don't know why this is relevant, but I do want this day to be over. But I don't want it to be a day where nothing happens. Something has to happen. Everyday something should happen, that you make happen that makes your life better.
It is up to yourself to do that.

Rage Against The Machine...Rage against the shitness in this world.
I only just came across this on You Tube recently which is pretty shameful really. You will have to click on the "Watch on YouTube" link:-
Message as in it is written in the video:-
5 years in a row the winner of Simon Cowells' X-Factor had topped the UK charts, claiming the Christmas number 1 spot.
"The X-Factor is expected to be Christmas number one again according to betting odds" -
OLB6 Sports. 3rd December 2009.
"Rage Against The Machine has emerged as the unlikeliest of candidates for Christmas number one." -
Live odds and scores 7th December 2009.
"As the Facebook campaign gathers momentum, Rage narrows the gap." -
The Sun 12th December 2009.
"X-Factor winner Joe McElderry (Who??) has branded Rage Against The Machines' 'Killing In The Name' "dreadful" after finally hearing his chart nemesis." -
NME 13th December 2009.
"They can't be serious!" he said. "It's dreadful and I hate it. How can anyone enjoy this? Can you imagine the grandmas' hearing this over Christmas lunch?" -
NME 13th December 2009.
"RATM number one at Christmas? I can't see it happening." -
The Guardian 14th December 2009.
"Despite the campaign to get "Killing In The Name" to the top spot, the X-Factor will still be victorious." -
Simon Cowell 15th December 2009.
"I wouldn't buy it. It's a nought out of ten for me. Simon Cowell wouldn't like it. They're just shouting!" -
Joe McElderry (Again, who??) 16th December 2009.
"Rages' 'Killing In The Name' pulls even with McElderrys' 'the climb'." -
The Sun 17th December 2009.
"We've got 500,000 singles out on Wednesday and Joe WILL be number one!"
Simon Cowell, 18th December 2009.
20th December 2009:-
X-Factor - 450,838
Rage Against The Machine - 502,762
This was truly awesome and so good to know that there are a lot of people out there who actually care about music rather then being fed whatever is rapped down the throats by a mega rich twat. I still have never to this day watched an episode of the X-Factor. I have no idea who is currently in the charts and I have no clue as to what is going on in terms of being force fed.
What I do know is that after this happened, Simon Cowell ran off to The United States for a while.
Screw you Simon.
Here is a video of my favourite (one of my favourites) Rage Against The Machine song(s). Try and ignore the vevo shit. Again you will have to click on "Watch on YouTube". Amazing song and amazing video:-

Questions...?
For some reason a lot of people have recently been asking me why I have had trouble sleeping for years. I used to think about it a lot myself and then just accepted the fact that this was just the way it is.
But even with that thought, I can't help but ask myself sometimes "Why?"
And I think it is that question and lots of other questions which literally do keep me awake at night.
Questions such as:-
Why is the world the way it is? Why are people so awful? Why do good things happen to bad people? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why are there so many poor people in the world who can't eat and why are there so many rich people in the world who don't help? Why do poor people get poorer? Why do rich people get richer? Why don't people give a shit? Will I ever be happy? Are some people destined to fail? Do you create your own destiny or is everything planned out for you already? Why do girls go for bad boys? Why are people so obsessed with social networking? Are people always searching for ego boosts? Why do people strive to want more and more when they already seem to have everything? What happens when we die? Will we ever know? Why do people die in the first place? Is there a Heaven? Is there a Hell?
I know that I have asked some of these questions, if not all these questions in part here and there on my blog. But it is these questions-just some are these questions-that keep me awake at night. I cannot help but think about them. Unfortunately, some questions just don't have answers and may never have answers. So thinking about them really is a waste of time. But yet I still can't help it.
I guess the psychology of people is always going to be difficult to understand. And trying to understand can either keep people awake at night or just drive people round the bend. I know that there are so called expert psychologists who think they can analyse people and figure out why they are the way they are. These are people who are "figuring" out things from their own point of view. Their own point of view being what they think through circumstances from their own lives thus just having nothing but opinions. And that's all they are. Opinions. Not facts. Not answers.
But the sooner I can actually come to terms with the fact that there is ALWAYS something shit happening in the world, the sooner I can be more content and sleep. And then maybe even be happy. The sooner I can come to terms with the fact that I should just live and let live. The world is the way it is because we made it like that. People are awful because they either have some deep psychological reason for it or were just born twats. Good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people because THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT IS. And in some ways, if we did have the answer to that particular question, then what would be the point?
For example, if we knew the answer to why do bad things happen to good people, then we would have no emotion. It would be like having no tears, no pain, no anything because we would understand why it is happening. It is a question that probably SHOULD NEVER BE answered as then the only way to stop that is when you see innocent people suffering-you can then help them.
As the same with good things happening to bad people. The only way to counter that is to fuck it. Not have some stupid belief that "oh they will all go to hell, don't worry." The actual way to making sure it doesn't stop you from sleeping or drive you round the bend is just to not let it bother you. Not to focus on it.
And then some questions, they just do not have answers. But I guess that is the beauty of life right?
Will all this help me sleep? No. Will it drive me round the bend? Possibly. But only if I let it.
I guess it is all in my own mind. As with anything and everything.
Everything is in your own mind.
Isn't it?
