The day after Boxing Day

Hello again. So December, the 'season of joy and goodwill' hasn't been too bad, despite the earthquakes in New Zealand, the fatal tropical storm on the 16th in the Philippines. But there have been some good things this month...

On December 15th the US formally declared an end to the Iraq war.
The Large Hadron Collider found that particle that is meant to disprove Einstein's theory.
The Project for Awesome raised over $71,000 for charity
Alex Day became the first unsigned artist to get into the top 10 and claimed the number 4 spot this Christmas.

There have been good things
and bad things.
But that's life, it isn't fair but sometimes it will surprise you.
We've just got to keep on living each day like it's our last.

But I'm cold as, the wind blows
So hold me in your arms''

''Christmas Cheer''

Well it's Christmas Eve, which is, arguably, the most stressful time of year. At least it is with my family. Parents completely out of their minds with the number of rooms they have to clean and ordering us around with the strictness of an army officer. Brother driving me absolutely out of my mind. Yup. My idea of Christmas cheer all over.
Not to mention my cousins, aunt and uncle coming down. This will not be fun.
Oh well, lets hope tomorrow will be better eh?

I'm not in it to win it, and there's a thousand ways you can skin it''

Dirty Forever

Well it's the 18th December which means finally the start of the christmas chart countdown! I know who I'm backing this year. No it's not 'Little Mix' or any 'famous artist'. This year I'm backing youtuber Alex Day as a proud member of the Nermie Army :) Well he's been working for years to try and get a number one and finally he's managed to hold number 4 with his song Forever Yours. Well done Alex!

On a umm slightly related topic (being that it occured today) Mable is extremly dirty! I swear I sweep the frontroom, get a dirt pile about 20x20cm. i turn my back for 10 minutes and I get a pile that big again!!

Why?

Todays modern world is plagued with overpriced, overconfident clothing brands. We've all seen them; Jack Wills, Hollister, Superdry and checked them out at one point or another; only to find that the cheapest item of clothing they have is a £10 pair of socks!

Seriously, I swear 3/4 of my year are obsessed with the latest Jack Wills gillet. For goodness sakes why spend £90 on a body warmer that you could buy in the same design at somewhere like Tesco for £20! All for the sake of some weird little embroided bird with a walking stick.

YOU are paying THEM to advertise THEIR clothing! Why?!

It's stupid, ridiculous and a waste of money.

So another short post/rant...
