Holidays from Glasgow, a virtual world and dance offs

So this weeks blog is another random one, these blogs are pretty random aren't they but oh well haha. To start with I want to talk about my funny night on Saturday night, I went to this surprise wedding anniversary do,so we was all sat quiet and poised ready for when the person in question walked through the door, not a pin drop was heard and the lights were off and then she walks in and I could tell straight away that she wasn't at all surprised, it turns out she had known about it all along, I mean how stupid! So the night mainly consisted of drinking 13 southern comfort and lemonades, 3 vodkas and 2 shots followed by a dance off with my friend that got very messy, let's face it I'm no changing Tatum! Then later on we headed to town and as soon as I got there I felt sober as a judge( are judges actually always sober) and then I realised town looked honorific and the thought of tea and toast in bed seemed far more appealing! I think I've got to the point where town is only good if your absolutely off your face which after 13 southern comforts you would think I would be, once I had 4 ciders and I was dying for the whole next day, I mean what's that all about?! Also when I was out I kept thinking to myself I bet the majority of these girls that go out look absolutely nothing without all the makeup and tan they have applied with a trowel, sorry but that's the way I see it! My next point is about holidays, I have been looking for a last minute deal and I've noticed that every flight seems to depart from Glasgow, I mean why Glasgow, surely it is less cost effective from all the way up in Glasgow rather than just setting off from London right? I just don't understand it at all, is there something about Glasgow that i don't know about, like it has it's own special flight path to get to Spain that the airports everywhere else don't. Hmm it's a mystery and rather annoying as I don't really want to travel all the way to Glasgow to then travel back down again on the actual plane! Stupid this it. Enough said. My next point is about the Olympics or rather team GB, you know those two letters that are on every item you ever pick up, I mean why can't they just say great Britain, it's like we are embarrassed of the fact so we call it GB to get down with the cool kids, speaking of the Olympics I'm not saying anything bad about it but Is it really necessary for them to mention it every 3 seconds of every day and count down constantly, I ,dan about 10% of our country have probably got tickets to go see it and the rest of us will watch it in the background on our tvs so why is everyone so obsessed by it? My final point this week is about everyone's becoming obsession with the world that is twitter, yes that social network site that is fast becoming more popular than Facebook, your whole life in 140 characters or less told to the world, the thing I am still finding bizarre about twitter is the fact that anyone in the world can follow you without having to request first, I mean how do they come across you in the first place, do they scour the net looking for you, or do they just think she looks ok il follow her, but these people always have about 3 followers to there name so how can they possibly find you in the first place? It's so strange. Then there is people's obsession with celebrities, twitter is full of 12 year old girls constantly asking for one direction to follow them, the thing I don't get is why they think that saying sentences such as " if you follow me I will sleep better tonight" will get them a follow is beyond me, I mean seriously?! If you was famous and you had hundreds of girls saying these type of things to you everyday wouldnt you think they was a bit crazy? And then there's them girls that actually write down the date that Liam or someone followed, I mean what are they actually benefitting from someone famous following them? All they are benefiting from is them being big headed that is all! And really if someone does happen to follow you it's by pure luck at the most, imagine you have 500+ mentions, your not going to read them all are you, your just going to pick one, and if that one happens to be some girl then that is the only reason they follow, another point is say these people do follow you what does that mean? It's just a virtual world, they are not speaking to you in real life, the picture you have up is most likely fake or edited and what you write about yourself is probably fake as well so at the end of the day it means nothing! End of Right time to put the kettle on I think! Sarah xoxo

lol, band t shirts and porter loos

Right then where do i start with the blog this week..
well im going to try and make this one less depressing than the previous weeks blogs ha.

Il start with my thoughts on text speak, you know the grammar and wording people use when they text, now i will never get those people that think its acceptable to spell like this; hi ows u wubu2? and then use words like this; y, lyk,dis,das,myn,tym, c u l8r, oh and those people that say things like pretti and sexi or even worse sxc and bbe, oh my days it drives me mad how can people actually speak like this? its so off putting when people cant even write a correct text, it makes me think they must talk like this in real life!!

oh another thing ive noticed is these days why do we have to say lol or haha at the end of the text, i mean are you really laughing when you say lol. i think sometimes people use lol to make people feel better for example if you say ' are you really going to wear that' it doesnt sound very nice but if you say ' are you really going to wear that lol' it doesn't sound quite as harsh. The thing is people have over used the whole lol thing now people are actually scared that if they dont put lol or ha on a text that they will come across too serious, i mean there is nothing worse than when you send a text and people ask if you are mardy because you didnt put lol. I mean what the hell is this all about, myself and a friend put this to the test yesterday by not using lol or ha for a day and il be honest i actually had to think about it a lot to make sure i didnt put it, and i actually felt that i was coming across too serious, whatever next!

another thing this week that brought to my attention was peoples lack of knowledge when it comes to music, i will be walking around and i will see some young blonde tanned girl wearing a ramones t shirt, and i can guarantee that she will have no idea who they are but yet she is wearing there t shirt! i find people these days seem to stick with what is played on the radio or what is in the charts, where did all the good music go before all this nicki minaj/chris brown/flo rida music come about. The thing is the good music is out there its just harder too find, i personally love finding a new band that is quite unknown and watching them gradually get known, it annoys me however when you tell someone about said band or artist and a few months later they say to you ' oh this band is amazing' and you think to yourself yeah i told you about them months ago, and they take all the credit!

my next point this week is when people dont understand or get my sarcasm, now most people that know me will know that i have a very sarcastic sense of humour not quite as bad as jimmy carr though ha, but anyway some people dont seem to get this at all and il say something and they will take it the wrong way and think im being serious, and i have to explain that it was a joke. Now sometimes this goes the other way which is the problem when you have a dry sense of humour as sometimes i will say something serious to someone but they will think im joking for example if i say they look nice, so it can go two ways!

My final point this week is with people that are constantly on a diet, like all year round, it really does make me laugh. Everyone knows someone like this, those people that always tell you they cant have that chocolate because they are on a diet, but then they say ' oh one wont hurt will it' well that one that wont hurt is the reason that they are constantly on a diet! that and the bottle of wine they drink every night.

on a lighter note its just over a month until i am going to v fest and even though i am really excited i am also quite scared about the prospect, i had a bit of a practice this weekend when i went to scunthorpe fake fest and oh my it was muddy and there was porter loos there and i didnt like queuing up for them and there was only about 3 people queuing! so i really need to prepare myself, best get stocking up on baby wipes and hand sanitiser

well thats a wrap for this week

Songs to your life and other bits

This weeks blog is abit of a random one as there has been lots of different things that have drawn my attention. The first and foremost is the weather yes you guessed it the rain! Now you may be thinking oh stop moaning it's only a bit of rain but the thing is it actually ruins everything which brings me onto my next point about cycling, I have only just started getting really into it but the rain is making this difficult, it is rather problematic biking in the rain for one thing it doesn't feel safe when your feet keep slipping on the pedals, on a lighter note I did manage 12 miles on a less rainy day although I nearly didn't make it, it's insane thinking just this time last year I was about to leave the hospital so weak I could barely climb up the stairs so I think I have come so far, I just need a better bike the only problem being that the really good ones are over 500 pounds ouch. My next point this week is about Wimbledon or rather Andy Murray, when he broke down when he lost at the end and he could barely speak and people didn't know what to do, I think the majority of people actually couldn't believe it, now my point isn't that he shouldn't be showing emotions or he should show emotion, my point is that people didn't expect it, and why didn't they expect it because people had already made their mind u About him before they even knew him, judging him and making their own mind up about him, assuming I he had no emotions. The thing is we as a society do this constantly, people are classified and stereotyped constantly it's just something we do. But why is this, when you buy a book do you look for thrones that stand out from the front cover or do you buy the plain covered ones that are more of a mystery, everyone knows that it is these books that are the best, just look at Charles dickens books. We judge people all the time and make assumptions. My next point of the week is when I went for my hospital appointment last week, the main clinic area has all been done up and looks brand new but when you turn round the corner and go onto the children's ward it is shocking, it's like it has just been left behind, I feel so sorry for any child that has to go there, it looks run down and desperately needed money put into it,yet there they are building this brand new clinic whilst the children have to stay on this horrible ward, it actually makes me sad. It lacks any personalality whatsoever there aren't even any artwork or pictures up anywhere. Someone seriously needs to do something about it. This point could lead into more depth as when you look at it it is saying that things can look really good from the outside but once you look round the corner or a little closer things aren't quite what they seem. My final point this week is about music and how it has a subconscious affect on us, it does this without us even noticing, a song can mean different things to different people. Someone may listen to a Coldplay song and it may take them to a happy place in their life but to another person it may affect them completely differently by making them feel sad or emotional. Why does it do this without us even realising? Also music can change and alter our moods too, what songs do you listen to after a long day at work as apposed to the music you listen to first thing in the morning, music can lift our moods but also bring it down in an instant, music can do so much more than we realise. Also I always wake up with a song in my head, what does this actually mean? I know this weeks blog has been a bit deep this week! Il maybe do something with a bit of comedy next week Sarah Xoxo

Books, budgies and strangers

My blog this week is mainly about a programme I watched called LIfers, this programme filmed in a prison depicts the life of several inmates that are serving life for committing murders hence the name LIfers. I was horrified by the people in this programme, one man who had murdered someone had his own room with all the luxuries and even had a play station and two budgies! I mean who bought him the budgies us the tax payers?! Another man showed absolutely no remorse as he told the interviewer that he had got fed up one night after watching football so decided to stamp on a mans head for an hour and an half and then dragging him into some bushes, he says that it could happen to anyone out there! He also said if it wasn't for his crimes he wouldn't have gained the qualifications he has today, he said he can now spell and read better than he could before. I couldn't believe it. Another man said that one day he had the urge to go out and kill someone so he did, people like this should never be let out ever. The people on this programme actually seemed to like life in prison I mean why wouldn't they, they get 3 meals a day, they get all there bills paid for, they have no rent to pay, they even get tattoos free and degrees, so who is paying for all this, yes you guessed it, it's us! We are paying for some murderer to do an art degree while everyone else gets in tons of debt if they want to do a degree. These lifers are living life in a five star hotel, they are in. O rush to get out. The thing that bothers me the most is the fact they don't seem to care or think what they have done is wrong. Another issue that brought to my attention this week was this little game that people play called lets pretend I've never met you before in my life. Those people that you used to know and then one day for some reason you stopped speaking to them or vice versa and now you have to act like total strangers. You have to see these people out and just ignore them like you don't know them, who the hell invented this stupid game because when you think about it it just seems absolutely ridiculous right? You could have known someone for years and then one day you don't speak to them and before you know it your playing the let's pretend I don't know you game. I mean why does nobody ever just defy the rules and go up to the said person? I mean what's the worse that can happen, are they going to say " sorry do I know you" when did we become so pathetic and childish. The thing is WE all are guilty of doing it, I say we all grow up and sort it out because you can't go on like this forever. My final issue of the week is the book called fifty shades of grey, if you don't know what I'm talking about you must have been living on another planet for the last 6 months. This book has become the most best selling book to have ever been written it has even beaten the harry potter and twilight series, the Uthor has apparently been making over a million a week. For what exactly? The book is probably the most badly written book I have ever read, it is full of spelling mistakes and poor grammer Nd mainly consists of the phrases " holy cow" and " oh my" But yet everyone wants to or has already read it, why is this I wonder, I believe it is because people want to know what all the fuss is about, people know it is bad but they still want to see what all the fuss is about for themselves. It is one of them books that is terrible but you still want to read the 2nd and 3rd book just to say you have. It's official the world has gone mad Sarah Xoxo
