life sucks?

Well I have finished my first year of A-levels and there have been ups and downs but I have learned one pretty huge thing this year. There is one saying that annoys the hell out of me - "life sucks", no. Screw that. Screw you for saying that.

Okay so now to explain:

Super Mario Bros:

pretty much everyone knows the concept of Mario. Princess peach gets kidnapped, you go through the world just normally just taking things one day at a time.


But in life, there are sections that are pretty sad... some are extremely sad. This can get even worse throughout the day and even throughout the week. This could even ruin the month or the year. This is just because of one stupid moment that happens once.


The thing is, life isn't just crap all the time. Sure! it is full of pretty bad moments. But where we are in the world, we can't say life sucks unless you have something genuinely wrong with you, and I mean people who are physically and mentally ill.

Some moments absolutely make you feel amazing but usually they're temporary. Just like star power ^.^


I believe that there will be something amazing at some point, and it will stay with you forever. It will be the reward at the end. and you will love it, what it is... is up to you but this reward, is what makes life not suck.


Anyways, bye for now :)

You know what's funny?

I love it when I hear people laugh, as long as it's a joyful laugh. I love it even more when I make people laugh, it makes me feel amazing inside, and it is really hard for me to not just celebrate in that moment.
What is extremely sad about my jokes is that the person who laughs at them most is me... yeah, I laugh at my own jokes... every single one. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. And people moan at me for doing it. But the thing is my own jokes actually make me happy... even if most of them are terrible 'Dad' jokes. Just like it makes me happy making other people laugh, making myself laugh makes me happy with the laughter, which in turn makes me even more happier. But I mean who doesn't like terrible jokes every once in a while?

So when I'm on the subject of being happy, you should be happier... yes you. the reader. I don't care if you're happy, sad, angry, shy, gay, straight or Chinese. Everyone deserves it. So here come three crappy jokes

Three warriors from the past, present and future were having a fight to the death
it was a tense fight.

why are NASA so good at strategy games?
they planet.

what do you call a fast zombie?
a zoombie.



well I've made some people happy... temporarily... including myself. woo!


that's all for now

zombie apocalypse, step 2

so it's been a while since i talked about

THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE MWAHAHAHAHFWAIJABEFHIKBHAWEAIFGI

So prepare your pea shooters and defend with walnuts IT'S STEP TWO


STEP 2: shelter

once you're aware that zombies are about, you're going to need to think about where to stay.
so a place where zombies aren't would be best...

So the thing you need to consider when looking at shelter is:

1. Is it too big/small? (if it's too big then it requires more work to check around for zombies which is a risk of being bitten, if it's too small then you are at risk of easily being surrounded by zombies increasing the risk of being bitten)

2. Is there more than one entrance/exit? (Then you can escape easier!)

3. Can you block entrances/exits with the things inside your shelter? (this is when you should consider if the shelter has good storage facilities with a lot of big heavy stuff inside it)

4. Is it good for sleeping in?

So step two... rather simple, well all of this is when you think about it

anyways Bye for now

feelings and the future

Lately I have been thinking... a lot.

It's about how people deal with feelings, how some people will just

Yet others will just keep it inside

Feelings can suck... but they can also be beautiful

I have some beautiful memories, I have some awful memories. But I try to keep the best ones closest to my heart to make myself feel good.



My best memory is when I went on holiday, I went on a cruise ship called the Thompson celebration. I went on holiday with my parents for a week and we cruised to different locations such as Italy and Greece and we saw some amazing things, we saw ancient ruins in Athens and they were overwhelmingly huge,we saw Pompeii next to the giant volcano that destroyed it. My best memory isn't during any of those amazing things that we saw. My best memory is on the cruise ship, I was walking around on my own at night on the ship. I was too afraid to go into the dark part of the front of it , I don't know why but I thought that the hunter from left4dead was going to jump out on me. (this was when I was 14 years old)
I AM WAITING AT THE FRONT OF THE CRUISE SHIP FOR YOU DAN
I stood there staring at the empty darkness ahead of me and I just wanted to go round to the other side, I didn't want to walk the quarter mile around the other side of the boat. So I walked into the darkness and my eyes only just adjusted to the dark, I was walking and feeling the balcony beside me and one by one I could see little sparkles appearing in the sky and I stood still for a second and leaned over the balcony. I looked up and the sky was full of stars. I can't actually explain how I felt when I saw them. I was overwhelmed. Just staring at the stars whilst being in the middle of the ocean. no light pollution, just stars. I could see a belt of stars leaning across the sky. I saw shooting stars. I was just standing... staring. It was the best feeling I have ever had. I showed my parents and I showed my newly made friend on the boat too. Every day on the boat I couldn't wait until night time to look at the beautiful twinkling stars again.
this is what the ship looks like

when I look at the future

I have a lot of friends right now, two extremely close friends. I look into the future and wonder of they'll still be there, I mean they'll have their own lives and all that but I wonder if they will still want to know me, not just my two closest friends but all of them.
Maybe I'll be in one of their best memories. Maybe they will have the odd thought about me. Maybe I won't be in their memories at all.
What if they just drift off gradually and forget. Leaving me to just be alone like Steve on Minecraft


People have different feelings in their own future

Some live happily smiling wherever they go, spreading joy everywhere they go.




Some live their life for others  making every effort to improve someone else's life



some will purposely cause as much havoc as they can for no reason to make others feel horrible instead of them

some people will just not care where they go

But in the end, being alone is the feeling that sucks the most

to be honest, I want to not care about where I go in the future and not worry about what other people think... anyways bye for now ;D

how to treat people

Some things really annoy me. and one of those things is seeing someone who is close to me being shoved around like a piece of dirt. I've seen this in a couple of places such as in my close friendship group, my drama group, my work group, and my church youth group.

I'm going to sum this up in one sentence:

STOP TREATING PEOPLE LIKE PIKMIN

For the people who don't know what pikmin is, you play as captain olimar who has crash landed on a strange planet, this planet is inhabited by little lifeforms known as pikmin. Olimar uses these to find parts of his spaceship and to escape the planet... when doing this he kills hundreds of pikmin... using them to kill any threat.
some people are like this using other people to accomplish thier own personal goals without thinking about the consequences. 


In my church youth group we are extremely good friends! But in every friendship group there are always some personalities clashing with each other. I have no problem with people arguing, in fact it's one thing we love to do in our group! every single facebook conversation either ends up with us having an argument or constantly changing the name of the conversation to something so immature but extremely funny. But we forget about some people when we talk. We have people that we push aside and I hate that! Just imagine going out for a good friday night out and you get pushed aside being ignored for the whole night whilst people are literally dancing in your face ( always to dubstep), having fun without you despite being in the same room as you. The onky time we talk to them is to use their skills for our own personal needs (like pikmin). I guess it feels like when you are extremely powerful in the middle of Deus Ex: human revolution and you're enjoying how over powered you are but then everything get's taken away. leaving you feeling like you're rubbish. kinda makes you wanna
  

My Drama group is essentially the same thing, we have different personalities... some are extremely strong. But one person has had a bad run in the year, probably due to procrastination and laziness they didn't achieve their full potential. If it wasn't for other people telling me what I was doing I would probably have been a lot worse in the school term, but there is a fine line between encouraging someone with negativity and putting them down. Some people would NOT stop going on about what she was doing and frankly it pisses me off the way they treated this person, she is a person too and she has feelings like any other person! But upsetting people for one thing over and over again is just absolutely horrible. To be honest, I think that people are using her to get themselves higher in terms of the friendship group, that is the only reason I can think of that they would treat someone so bad, there is no excuse to essentially yoshi to the next platform. But to be honest this may motivate the person to do so much more with their life and make a change, so in a way, the way people have treated this person is good and bad.

to sum things up

people are not meant to be treated like crap, ignored, abused, or used in any way at all.

whoever the person is, they are a HUMAN being... there are exceptions of course such as if they have wronged you in any way or if they are like Adolf Hitler.

just watch who you treat like crap, they might turn out being a baddass in the end

just try to treat people like you want to be treated like, and if you're one of those people who is purposely a douchebag and just wants to make people miserable

i hope my post actually makes sense to you...

anyways bye for now

the finish line

well my exams are done... i now have 3 weeks free to do whatever the hell i want to do.

i have crossed the finish line!

so obviously i am going to continue writing my blog whilst i am locked in a dark room with nothing to eat except strawberry laces.

for me anyway i have come to that point of the year when you have nothing to do and it feels awesome.

Anyways, time to talk rubbish! Like always!

EXAMS

well what do you expect? i have just finished mine, of course i'm going to talk about them!

So when teachers talk about revision you just can't help but fade away into your own world of wonders, then coming back when they finish the last sentence, agreeing to whatever they just said not knowing what it is and just walk off. Well that happened at the beginning of the year for me and it was exactly like that. I only actually did revision in the last 2 months of my school year.
Some advice for next year:
ACTUALLY REVISE even if it like 5 minutes a day. In those last two months i did of revision i felt almost as mad as Ratman from Portal. Muttering things to myself, writing things everywhere... on paper. I just wonder how Ratman actually revised for his exams. Instead of writing "the cake is a lie" on every single wall that he can write on he wrote something like 'speed=distance/time' all over the walls replacing the companion cube with his trusty text book.
well maybe i'm not quite as mental as him...
the sad thing is... now that it's over, i don't know what to do with myself anymore. I could write another story, learn more songs on my ukulele, watch game of thrones finally. 

I kinda feel like GLaDOS at this one point. "all my life i have heard voices but this time i hear the voice of a conscience and it's MY voice. I'm serious i think there is something REALLY wrong with me" - GLaDOS. I've been studying for a year and all for those 2 weeks at the end. 
i wouldn't mind being a huge ass robot myself

I guess i'm not going to go on a huge adventure... as much as i want to. Just like GLaDOS did with chell in portal 2. 

I should enjoy this feeling for now, as next year i will be wishing i had three weeks of nothing in front of me. 

bye for now

It's that time of year again

Exams woohoo yaaaay

This time last year I was procrastinating like there was no tomorrow... now? I'm running around like link in majora's mask, only I wish the song of time actually worked.

In my attempt to do well with my A-levels I am actually revising more than I ever have done in the past times. So over the next two weeks I won't actually post anything... sorry. Revision is actually more important than blogging in my head.

So to whoever actually reads my blog, you will have to wait a couple weeks before I post anything. Just think of dragon age
If you actually waited for a picture to load then... well you don't get the reference to dragon age

for your entertainment I shall post some interesting things

how to keep an idiot busy

What would happen if pinocchio said "my nose is about to grow"?



Does a set of all sets contain itself?



If everything is possible, then isn't it possible for something to be impossible?



The sentence below is always true
The sentence above is always false


And before I go I give you a quest, DO NOT do this quest.

Bye for a couple weeks
