Holidays In The Sun

So I've been away for a while. Been busy you could say. Although you probably shouldn't. I've changed up a lot of things, grown as a person. Mainly outwardly though to be honest. Still, I've learnt a lot along the way. Here's a small list of the most important.

1.) Most problems can be solved by not doing much. I found myself in debt, adrift and on the verge of spending my days watching Jeremy Kyle and weeping into a bowl of Cornflakes. However, an afternoon spent making CV's and then one handing them in later I found myself employed (twice over in fact) and then, through a few extra forms, enrolled at the OU. Debt crisis was averted through ignoring phone calls then agreeing to pay off some every month with my freshly earned pay cheques. And voila, future sorted. I always complain about being unlucky, but green was certain rubbed in my favour on this one.

2) I am wrong about almost everything. Living with more than 0 people that I talk to every day leads to discussions about many things; music, politics, how to deal with the sexual advances of Stephen Fry. However, blindly arguing about things you don't understand doesn't always win the day. For example, not the other day, I was discussing about how I hate Twitter. To me it seems like it's a venue for people to bum celebrities and post one liners of middling quality. Yet, even when it's just used in that manner, it's extremely fun. Yet another example of my hypocrisy.

3) Not everyone enjoys films because they're shit. Exaggeration is a disease we all suffer from time to time. Yet, claiming Deja Vu or Domino (or possibly all of the Tony Scott canon) are brilliant because of their dizzying level of shitness is a misfire of larger proportions. Glasses that see into the past. Come on Denzel.

And finally.
SFC, the king of hungover food.
Newcastle are unpredictable no matter what league they're in.
Having two jobs makes it a lot easier to enjoy one a lot more than other.
Studying something you're vaguely interested in makes it a lot easier to read the textbooks.
