I've been wanting to listening to music a lot recently. I have an mp3 player but the headphones that I use are, well not broken but broken if you know what I mean. It's the usual problem at the jack where it connects to the device. Seems to happen to every pair of headphones at some point. You'd think in a time where we have buildings in the clouds we could make headphones last. Another thing like that is phones. I can't believe how much I can't understand people on phones these days. The sound quality makes me think that phones are a new thing. Considering a phone can now do pretty much everything a computer can do, you'd think that you could hear someone as clear as you do like on a Skype call. I do think Skype will eventually be the bar for phones services and so it should be.
Watching Edward Scissorhands on TV at the moment. It's such an emotional, brilliant film. I can relate to it in some ways or not being accepted and feeling like you should have been something more but thankfully you have some wonderful people around you. The music is also so touching and deep. Quite beautiful, but that's what music is.

Just do something half interesting!
Hey folks, as thought, I have missed out on actual blogging. One topic I wish to cover tonight is ... friends.
What is a friend? Dictionary.com tells us that a friend is most commonly: "A person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard."
This does make sense because if you like someone you do regard them as person you wish to interface more with. However, as with everything in life, something that is one thing to you may be completely different to another. A friend for me is someone who asks the question, of which I feel truly bonds people. That question is quite simply "You?" All through my life, I have had people in my life that I could call "friends." However I more see people as I know you, your name for example. For someone to be my friend they have to want to engage with me. This seems to be a massive problem in my life. Whilst I was at primary school (ages 5-12) I had a couple of friends, people I knew and then occasionally a best friend. Then whilst at high school (ages 12-18) I had a best friend for 3 of those years. He and I were almost not seen apart but then he grew up I guess and I had a very difficult time in dealing with this. I had to realise that it wasn't that he matured and it was in fact he never asked "You?". At that time it seemed to be where kids would date, drink, smoke and maybe do drugs. I wasn't included any of these things but probably because I wasn't a cool kid. I really wasn't interested in any of these things, I just wanted to game and enjoy my time with friends that really knew me. The friends that I had from primary school that also went to my high school left around the time I was 17. I then realised that I was almost completely alone in reality and this upset me but not to the point where I let it affect me.
I was such a gamer, I had become a nerd. I would go in to online chat rooms and talk to hundreds of people I never met or knew in any way. I had a place where I could go "Hey, how are you?" They would then reply "Fine, thanks. You?" It's incredible. Simply by people saying one word to me they have instantly gained some respect of mine. So much of the modern world has become a self-obsessed place. I look at things in the world, the increase of prices on anything, bad manners on TV and streets, complete rudeness between strangers. We now live in world where you better look at yourself because no one else will. This is where I think friends change the way I live. If I think someone if truly a friend, I want them beside me at all time. In reality though, that's not possible because as of right now, I feel like I have work friends and online friends. My only true friend is, thankfully, my girlfriend. I've been with her for 7 years now and she still wants to know about my day. That to me is bliss. I think this is where I "fail" at keeping friends. I want to be all or nothing and not a thing in between.

"He's a great guy. I've had him since he was a baby and now he's 5ft 10in. He's spoiled rotten - he has his own enclosure and a female pot-bellied pig in there who is his lover. Kangaroos will hump anything. I think the pig likes it. There's also a goat in the who he grew up with but they're just friends" - Vanilla Ice on his pet kangaroo. That's his pet kangaroo.
Story Of The Day
'Andreas Muller, 39, has gone to extreme lengths to win himself a car - having the word 'Mini' tattooed on to his penis. The crazy German decided to have the rather painful tattoo after a radio station ran a competition to win a £20,000 Mini Cooper. The brief: whoever pulled the craziest stunt to get the car would win. Unsurprisingly, Muller's offer to have the car manufacturer's name branded on to his penis topped the list of crazy suggestions. 'There were a lot of crazy stunts put forward by listeners, but Andreas won by a short head,' said one of the competition's organisers. Radio listeners were then treated to Muller's cries of agony while the unique piece of branding was created. Muller claims the pain was worth it, saying: 'Once I'm sitting in the car, it won't matter anymore. Then the pain will be gone and it'll be alright.' It has not been reported whether or not Mr Muller has a girlfriend' - Metro.
That story is just legendary. Imagine ladies, you're about to give this guy you've just met some lovin' and BAM! IT SAYS MINI!
Welcome to the Internet, where the men are men, the women are men, the children are police officers, everyone is correct all of the time, even when they're wrong, and where opinions are more valid the more insults and swear words you include with them.
