Welcome to my blog. It's nothing special. But I would like to think that someone, somewhere will gain something from this. Even if a person far far away fings me with a random search of "Thoughts" on Google in the Blog section would make me happy. It doesn't take much to make me happy. I am sure you will learn this is the next few posts.
My non-blood sister and collegue Amy-Louise Taylor has been writing a wee blog for the last few months and when I read her most recent one the other day, I felt a bit funny. She was talking about this dream she has when something major comes up in her life. The dream was about an elevator. When I read it, I thought "Haha, good ol' Amy. She makes me chuckle". But although Amy is only 17/18 - she is one of the most sensible and rational people I know. I haven't had the chance yet, but I am sure we could have a conversation for hours on end. I imagine she could entertain me with words. Not like a poet does, or even a TV Presenter. Knowledge is the key to Amy. So this first Blog is kind of dedicated to her - for making me open my eyes that little bit more and making me think about life in many different ways.
So here it is. The topic of tonights Post:
Early Starts
(Because We All Have Them !)
Just now, while I was listening to Cheryl Lynn's 'Got To Be Real' (the song that makes the Marks & Spencers Advert what it is today), I was thinking to myself about waking up early. When I have to be at work for 7am, I think about it all of the evening before, whilst I fall asleep and when I wake up in the morning, my head doesn't want to move and my eyes do not want to open. But it's funny. I moan all the time about having to get up early and working loads of hours in a single week. Isn't that life? My sisters, who both work in Central London, tell me to wait for when I get a full time, 40 hour a week job. They tell me to enjoy education while I still can and "if we had the chance to go back, we would!".
As you may or may not know, I want to be a teacher of Drama to Secondary School students. What if my job isn't local? What if I have to be up at 5:30am 5 days a week? Will I be able to handle it? I would have to. What is life without money? I was speaking to a good friend of mine last night and he said that he is happy with what he has. But he would be happier if he could have a new car, a house and tons of everything. But he can't have all of that, because his bank account does not read $1,000,000. I'm sorry Matt- but it doesn't. That saying "Money makes the world go round" is sadly true. Wouldn't it just be easier if everyone could have anything all for free? No it wouldn't - because there would be more crime than ever before.
Just to lift the mood - Big Brother is ending soon. Although it has been a part of my for the last 10 years of my life - everything good must come to an end at some point or another. It's sad. If I could, I would buy the programme and carry it on forever - even if I only had 3 viewers a night. It's real - unlike some people in todays society.
I must keep this one short. I don't want to scare any of you little pickles away now!
