BATMAN

Now many of the people around me know that I prefer Batman to any other superhero. Most of them at college think that Superman is way better. This is not a just opinion. In at least two Batman comics Batman has beaten Superman to near death. Also Superman may be the leader of the Justice League of America but the fact is that Batman has saved his butt way to many times.

Batman is a mere mortal as you all know and the fact that he is now more than a man he is legend means that he is far superior to Superman. Superman is super but only due to the affects of our sun. He also has a major weakness Kryptonite. Batman has all the normal human weakness’ but due to all the training he does he will only die from one thing AGE but Batman will never die because when Bruce Wayne hangs up the mantle of the bat the job can still be carried out by another person in the same suit.

This effectively makes Batman immortal like superman and also less weak.

At the moment Batman is winning.

Batman combats evil and put people in gaol when was the last time Superman did that. All superman does is rescue people from danger. Batman removes the peril in the first place

One more point to BatmanSo Far 3-0 to Batman.

Batman Films are even better than Superman films.. Christian Bale is great as the new Batman and the next film should prove the first point in this argument as Bale is due to start Filming the next Batman film next year. Batman Vs Superman. Sweet

Draw.

As you can see at the moment the argument is one sided so post comments and they will all be taken into account when the next instalment of why Batman pwn’s Superman is written.

Tattoo's

Now at the moment I will not get a tattoo because I am overweight and loosing more each week. This means that my skin is constantly changing shape and size. If I got a tattoo at the moment it would change shape and also warp so I will wait until I stay at a constant weight. This will mean that in years time I will heve tattoos that all look like they are supposed toThe tattoos that I want are fairly simple but complex in there ideas.

On my back I want a black bear. It represents me and also my patron animal. They are strong yet maternal and very cleaver animals. I want a very detailed and accurate picture. It would have to show the bears strength and also the majesty of the animal. This is my way of praising he animal. May it keep me true and strong

On the back of my head I want a barcode. This represents the man of all characters and looks very sweet. The man that is codename 47. This is a PC and Playstation game of greatness. I always wanted to be a hitman. The reason for the barcode is for identification due to the fact that he is a cloned Hitman form the Russians in a Romanian lab. It also represents the fact that we are all numbers in life and just a simple set of statistics for the government to manipulate at will.

On my chest I want a dream catcher. This is an old folklore of the native Americans. It is meant to help protect you from nightmares and only pas on the good dreams. I have had a dream catcher for 8 years and have only had 2 bad dreams but not any nightmares. Does this prove that they work or that I believe in it and that dreams are influenced by consciousness. I don’t know. It will mean that I will be protected from bad dreams for life and will always have a good nights sleep.

I could also be tempted with a hammer and Sickle but I am not sure where and whether I would get lots of stick for it so I will go for a red star. This still represent communism but not as much and can be passed of as other things. As you can all gather I think that communism is not a bad idea and will at some point help unify the world and rid the world of the greedy capitalists.

Only time will tell what I get in the end and I do know that I will have the tattoo for life so I should be very careful about what I get.

Remember that symbolism is the key of art and that without it life would not be the same.

My Future

The world is against me. Not. I got shite results in my exams and I admit that it is my fault. Now to correct this mistake I am going to spend another year a Macmillan. I have decided to withdraw from UCAS and re-apply. This will allow me to go to university in a years time. It will also allow me to change my courses to pure Primary school teaching. It will also allow me to improve my personal statement. This could give me a better course or university.

SO the future is bright the future is maroon for another year.

Not that I mind, I had planned for this and I was expecting to do it and it also allows me to improve and meet my own personal targets. Shame about the amount of cash I can get. It looks like I will be better staying for the full year.

I know a few people who would not mind the fact that I would be staying on another year.

It will also allow me to keep posting on the site.

So even more of me to spread the love with my words of wisdom.

Knowing Where I Am

A few posts ago I said that I had offered to walk Gemma home. Now I thought she lived in Green Lane and did not know where it was until a few weeks ago. This is when I posted the info and made a big mistake again. She and her sis live on West Lane. West Lane is no where near Green Lane. So for that rant I apologise. I also now more than ever need to work out where places in Middlesbrough are. A good example is where is crescent road. I was meant to meet Sam there but I did not where the hell it was. So in the end she ended up at Macmillan college reception while I wandered around.

I need to buy a pocket sized A to Z of Middlesbrough to help me and also so that I can know where I am at all times.

My Exam results

They were bad. Not fails but not what I was hoping for. I got 2e’s and 1d. This equates to 140 UCAS points. Not enough for Scarborough. So they decided to change my course from Primary School Teaching with biological studies to Educational studies and Ecology. Not much difference I hear you say. That I where you are wrong. The latter course does not give me qualified teacher status. Not worth while doing as I would still have to stay on after University.

I have been accepted into Teesside. This on closer examination are Lab studies with some info on the side. Again not what I wanted to. So I also don’t want to do this but if push comes to shove it is a good backup. I would also like to leave Middlesbrough at some point and this would mean that I would be staying at home. I need to exert my independence.

It looks like I will be going back to Macmillan and redoing all the exams I got about 20 marks in. This will help me improve my grades. This will mean that over the year I will be doing 7 resits minimum. This will also allow me to re apply to UCAS with a better informed choice of course. I was thinking something to do with Language and not the bastardised English that I use maybe Russian or Japanese. I have the skills. It will also help me to show myself that I can do this and get the grade I was predicted 3 C’s.

I blame myself for my poor results and know that I can improve them.The reason I know it is my fault because of lack of effort I put in. I did not want to reach my potential and these results have created a crazy driven man. I will now focus on a new goal.I will make myself stronger, smarter and better. Only by doing this will I prove that I am no weak person.The main reason for my past lack of conviction was due to me caring more for others than for myself this is going to change. I have always been strait and true now even more so. I am going to spend the next year if they let me focusing on myself and my future.

The Atomic Bomb

The atomic bomb is one of the very things that man should have never been invented. The recent anniversaries in past few days have brought to light the idea in my head that war is a bad and that no one should have all that power. This is due to the moral issues for dropping one never being just. Mass destruction is not an issue and world destruction does not solve anything. The difference between the Americans and the Russians is no longer an issue but now America has wondered over different countries.

The main enemy years ago was your commie. Now it is all different due to collapse of Soviet Russia and due to America selling weapons to anyone who will pay. They are the source of all evil and destruction in the world. They are the one hell bent on destruction and there whole history is about war all 400 years of it. If they would have had there way 3 bombs would have been dropped on Japan.

This is also due to the fact that most explosives have been developed in America and also the A and H bombs. They have also invented the Sunshine bomb the neutron bomb and many more dangerous gasses than I care to name. They also have the highest gun crime rate in the world. Why should they be allowed to go on making weapons.

Mass destruction of nature and the world is no good and seems as we are the only intelligent life form we know of shouldn’t we preserve it.So this is why I say ban the bomb and any more research into future weapons. Let peace rule the world. If America gets rid of military budget for one day you could feed the third world for a year.

Food for thought eh.

The Exam Results

Tomorrow I get my exam results fro my A2. These are kind of important as they help to determine my future. I will be either going to Scarborough or Teesside. I really would prefer to go to Scarborough. To get I need 3 D’s. This would give me the A2’s to get in but I could also include my As in Fine Art and also my Crest Award. Both are worth about 20 UCAS points each. This means that I could get away with only having 160 UCAS points which is the equivalent of 1 C and 1 D. this is achievable.

At the moment I am hoping for the highest possible grade but I am also being very sceptical as so I don’t suddenly go depressed. I also know that I did not try my hardest and I enjoyed myself during the exam period when I should have been revising. I enjoyed many a good game of magic and many nights of computer gaming. This helped to take my mind of the exams and also help my to calm down alnd let the mind do its work.

I hope that everything goes smoothly and that I do OK. The main problem I have got tomorrow is the fact that I have to get up early. The results are handed out at 10am and right until 4pm. This gives me time to go and get them but recently I have been getting up at 2pm.The butterflies should help me wake up early and I guess that I will not have a very good nights sleep which will make me lethargic.

Fingers crossed and Good luck to all those people who also get there results tomorrow.

Sticking it to The MAN

The man is proverbial and hypothetical being that halts our progress and stops us from enjoying ourselves. The MAN is a mean person and can come in many forms. The mam who wont let you leave the house. The guardian who wants you home by 10:30. The MAN is a evil being and should be expelled from this world by force of personality.

The best way to stick it to The MAN is to not rebel but go with the flow and do it with a smile. So say if The MAN wont let you go out just say OK and smile at HIM and leave the room. This is only the first part though.

Then you must give him a guilt trip something along the lines of “I don’t mind staying in if you give me a reason”. Now this puts The MAN in a situation either he gives you an answer and you understand HIS actions or he fumbles and you have HIM by the short and curly’s. Normally The Man will relent if he has no reason and if not you move on to stage 3.

Stage three is the alternative to what The MAN wants. This is the final step. This is where you rebel and start to annoy the person by following him around or talking when they are trying to read. With the desperation of The MAN comes pity and a relent in the punishment or chore or whatever it is that you were apposed to. If that does not work just try the silent treatment as an alternative for those MEN that are very sensitive to the world around them.

This strategy will get you everywhere in life and if not then don’t blame and any other learnt techniques for sticking it to The MAN then post them here and help others who are less fortunate than you for knowledge.

And remember sticking it to The MAN is an art and not everyone can get it to work but with practice things can become perfect. Obsession make better though.

Regardiing Ninjas

Now if you have read some of the old posts you will realise the fact that I love ancient oriental history and philosophy. This lead me to read to the Hagakure. I never finished it. I feel ashamed for not doing so and will rectify this in the next few days. I hope that it will help me relax as it did last time (stress from exams) and that this time I remember more of it.

I would still love to become a samurai or a ninja. I still want to learn the art of Kendo and think that it would be a good release for me. It will also help me to achieve the inner peace which I have been searching for, for years. It will also advance me on the step towards fitness and also more and more like a monk.

I would love to be a fantasy monk. Those guys are the tits. They walk around all old after years of training and do whatever they like. They can kill men in seconds without a thought and break anything with there bare hands. They can do amazing bodily feats like amazing jumping, and even flying and have super human stamina. I would most of all like to perfect the 1 inch punch just to see if it can be done and also just in case I ever get trapped in a small space (I am a little claustrophobic). Then I will also become more like the man that is Leon (film with Jean Reno as a master assassin). He is the man and even more so than Clint Eastwood. I think it is the idea of a violence that is quelled by enlightenment and inner peace. It will also help to balance the Ying and Yang inside me.

Anyway actions speak louder than words (unless they are said on the Internet, then they are ripples in the proverbial pool of information and can become the shouts that lead the way forward).

Anyway who would argue that ninjas are not cool. Because if you say they are not then you are a dead man and will not see it coming.

The main question though is who is better a samurai or a ninja?

Post your ides here and reasons why and in a few weeks I will announce the winner.

May the best warrior win.

Where the hell is Green Lane

I have lived in Middlesbrough for all of me puny existence and I have no idea were anything is. This realisation has come about due to a few conversations and also a few missed appointments that could have so easily been avoided. I am not alone with this problem as I am sure Samayra also suffers from the same condition.

When I went to Jessica’s party I was concerned that Gemma might have to fork out the money for a Taxi home so that she could get home safely. Now me being a gentleman and a bit tipsy at this point said I would walk her home to save her the money ( I know how money can disappear in an instant if you don’t think about it and being skint is not the best thing). Now I got the impression that she either decided that this was not a good idea for two: reasons one she was repulsed at the idea (I have no self esteem so this would not surprise ma and I am a bit chubby and am not really that fit. I will be the first to admit this and also due to the fact that I was a tad drunk. I use the word tad lightly and in exclamation marks. I just hope she never got the wrong idea at the time) or it was a fair distance from The Central where we were. Now in reflection it was a silly thing suggest because I was leathered and I thought that the walk would clear my head before I got home. Now I do remember her telling me it takes a fair time to get from her house to town and it only takes ten minutes to get to her house from Macmillan. Now with this in my mind at the time I thought hey it will be just a walk through town. Stupid me Green Lane is near grove hill. DUH. No wonder she did not want to walk home. It would have taken a good hour and it not such a good area to walk at night. If someone had started a fight I would have also gone medieval on there hiny or ape shit because I cannot stand seeing any of my friends in proper discomfort or pain. This is due to my apparent aggressive nature surfacing due to drink. This aggressive tendency was explained to me by Carl and I don’t think it is justified.

Next time I offer to go somewhere by foot I must remember to find out how far it is and how long it would take. This will help me in understanding peoples reactions and be able to judge whether it is a good idea or not as the case may be. I must also never go drinking without having a good meal beforehand as the alcohol goes straight to my head.There are lessons to be learnt here.

Hobbies

At the moment I am bored and cannot think of what I would like to do as something in my spare time. At the moment I fill in my spare time with things like playing on my PC, writing blogs and playing random card games with my mates. The problem is that now Dave has left there is nothing to do like go round his. The other thing is that now that Dave has left we don’t play dungeons and dragons anymore because he was our best DM as yet. Ollie is trying to run a game but there are not enough players to have a good game. The future of the games club also grim as none of the committee members can be pestered running it next year. I am now old enough to help but I don’t know if I could be pestered either. Matty is trying to convince me to get back into playing war hammer 40K the expensive game workshop game. I don’t like any of the races and the people who play it are normally rule strict gits who always look down there nose at you. I just want to stick it to them. I don’t think I will be playing it also due to the reason that I am crap at rolling dice.

This month saw the end of GDCI a corporation set up last year to help us piss about as a group of mates. The future looked bright until people started to go there separate ways now it is only me ,Carl, Yankee and Ollie. 4 of the original 7. Not many I know but it does make a difference to the group.

At the moment I also wander the thoughts of my College friends most of them are leaving to go to university this year and I am not. Admittedly most of them are going to Teesside but I cannot think of anything to do together and I can feel the rift slowly becoming apparent and nature’s will losing at its need to fill the void. I also have not spoken to many people from college and I know it is due to the fact that I don’t have the internet chat sorted out. This is because I don’t have broadband.

The future is not looking good so far and I feel like I am going to become a recluse only occasionally coming out of my shell to say hi. I seem to be stuck in Limbo with no possible exit. I will have to sort something out. Even if it is not permanent it will do. The problem is what to do? Eat more cheese?

The Late Present

Well as I write this I am now in my own bed nice and comfy. This is what my auntie and grandma bought me for my birthday. It turned out to be a laptop from Dell. The laptop is amazing and very fast compared to my 5 year old PC. This means that no matter where I am I can now have access to my computer and it would not be too boned (unlike my PC). It also means that I can play all my games on the move.The laptop itself is massive it has a 17” wide screen LCD screen. This means that it is great for watching DVDs and playing on games that require a lot of detail. This also means that it is not that transportable but that is not a problem for me. If you are wandering what the laptop is if you type in Insperon 9300 and look at an image that is what it looks like.

The problem was that the surprise was spoiled by the people at Dell. They sent the invoice to our house instead of to Birmingham where my auntie lives (a few feet away from where the tornado hit a few weeks ago). This has pissed of my auntie and in a few weeks I am guessing that she we have a few new sets of earrings(The testicles of the people who sent the bill to the wrong address.). The wrath of god is nothing compared to my auntie pissed off. She has calmed down over the last few years but she will still have someone’s ball for that mistake. Now though she getting even more upset at the after sales service. It was a very nice gift and better than them paying for my driving lessons but with me not having the money to get a car at the end they thought it was a bit cruel I thank them for their generosity.

This means that now I can start to write my book properly and when I can concentrate (at night in bed when it is quiet). I am deciding whether to write a children’s book or a fantasy book for something else. I have been looking into the children’s book idea and I find that the effort that goes into those books is well worth it. I also think that my imagination will lend itself to the genre and also the way in which I write will make the task very easy. The problem that I have is the fact that all the effort goes into the plot of the story and also they are always strange and very fantastic in there ideas. The best children’s novels are all about 1 person and they are always going on an adventure. Of course my research still could be intensified. I could do this by reading more children’s fiction. I have always wanted to read such books as Alice’s adventure in Wonderland and more serious books for children.

I will never stoop to the level of reading Harry Potter Harry Potter Sucks. I read the first three chapters of the first book and could not seem to find anything to even keep me interested. It was simply written and the plot was nicked from all over. I will never read any more of those books. I have also watched the first 2 films. They were bad, nothing about them was good even the special effects left much to desired and I also remember that at some points thing were not in the film that were in the book and I only read the first 3 chapters. I also think that most adults who read them should either find something better to do or find a better author to read (Arthur C Clark, Clive Barker, Tolkein, Shakespeare, Thomas Harris and the legend that is H.P Lovecraft). I want to know how she can keep writing when in her soul she must know that it is a load of reconstituted garbage. As you can see I don’t like them as books. I read them when I was about 15 so I was the right age to appreciate them but I have been brought in a world where you need something special to make it in the world and what I had already read was far superior. I am determined to write a good story that can be read aloud to any child and for that child to propelled into a world of dreams and magic. I want the book to not become a great success but become notorious for its quality and also its content. I will do this and it will help my inner child to free its shackles and break free into the world. Even if it does not work out I will become a teacher and influence a whole new breed of man that can understand the virtues of skill and complexity.If you want a good read then you need to read the following books

Clive barkers The thief of always

A good yarn of a bored boy who gets transported into another world and has an amazing time until cracks start to appear in the fantasy and then corruption spreads through world as he tries to go home. The plot is good and the drawings in the book are so good it adds to the feel of this eerie and compelling fantasy book for all ages.

H.P Lovecraft Anything especially omnibuses

His writing is complex and detailed. The stories are all to do with what we cannot perceive and has influenced many other writers (Arthur C Clarks Space Odyssey 2001). The complexities of the language adds to the archaic tone and texture of the description help give the stories an extra special feeling. All of the stories have a twist and not all of them are good endings. Even though he live over 100 years ago they can still be applied to the world of today. Some of the story have been made into films as well.

Thomas Harris Black Sunday

A book were the main characters are terrorists that are all unstable. The story is short and the language is easy to understand. It is a plausible act of terrorism. This is the only book I have read were I want to help the terrorists. The characters are dark and edgy and so is the plot. A good read that should have your attention from beginning to end.

As I have gone of the main topic I will end this post here saying that everyone should read more and expand their literacy knowledge. That was the main reason why I took English language and literature to help me develop my English.

Jessica's Birthday Party

An interesting night. I again got a bit drunk and started to loose my sense of style and taste. This again led to me dancing to music I hate (Keiser Chiefs, T-Rex (its not that I don’t like T-Rex it is just the fact that they don’t do good rock music)). I admit that I cannot dance but I felt that I was the worst there and eventually Magranigan and me ended up air guitaring to random songs.
I had had 1 bacon sandwich and a small plate of chips all day so it only took 4 pints and a double whisky to get me drunk. This is the same mistake I made before not enough food. If I had not arrived early (read invite and it said 7:00 and it actually started at 7:30) I would not have had 2 pints or the chips. They change the prices after 7. It was £1.50 before 7 and £2.35 after 7 for a pint. That is so scandalous.
Met everyone from college (apart from Francis who went to see Charlie and the Chocolate factory (see earlier posts)). It was nice to see everyone happy and enjoying themselves.
I spent most of the night talking to Emma about Chris (she would not stop talking about it) and to Gemma about different things. Talked to Jessica’s friend Chewie (as in Star Wars. I don’t know why he has this nickname he looked nothing like the lovable furball and did not look as if he had that much hair.) about random things as well. I spent most of the night telling people that I was ok after my birthday and that I will try and avoid getting (that) drunk again and talking about different things mainly music.
I kept standing on my own trousers, which I need to replace (ripped all up the back. They need replacing because I now have only one pair of trousers that are decent). I also kept giving balloons to people (cannot remember reason why? think I was told to by Lisa) and untangling balloons (Gemma and Emma dancing).
Esther and her sis were the last ones to arrive and join in the fun they already looked a bit drunk and that was not all. Esther was wearing the worst wig I have ever seen. I mean it was so obvious. Even though I was drunk I could tell that the white permmed hair was not Esther’s (could see her hair underneath the wig (brown)). In the end the wig fell of as she was dancing and her and her sis had a right laugh. I admit it did look funny.
In the end some people went to the Crown and some to the Empire (huge cues) this was after 11:30 and due to The Central (the pub it was in) closing. I went with everyone to the crown but could not get in because I was skint (and will be for some time until I cash in my ISA about £400). At this point I went home and stayed up until about 3:45 watching TV (nothing in particular. I think it was Species 2 and something else) until I went to sleep due to becoming tweaked from the alcohol. I woke up at about 12:30 fine and feeling (again) as if I could run a marathon which of course I did not do.
Jessica ended up pretty bad but not as bad as me and seemed to be still conscious when I left. I blame the absinth she had before she went out and not the numerous Vodka and Cokes people kept giving her (one in each hand at one point).
All in all not a bad party.
Remind to get Magranigan back for hitting me in the belly repeatedly as it bloody hurts and aches.
Happy Birthday Jessica
You are only 18 once and I think that was a bit better than mine.

The subtitle Change

I created this website last year to comment on many of the things that happen around but the whole thing changed as I started to write more complex and meaningful posts. This is why I changed it to this:
“Once you enter the rabbit hole there is little difference between the scribbling of a madman and the theories of a genius. How they are interpreted is the key to knowledge and understanding.”
This is a deeper opening and refers to many different things. The reference to the rabbit hole is all to do with the crazy and surreal as it is the opening to Alice in Wonderland. Alice follows the White Rabbit down the hole and enter into Wonderland. It is an amazing tale and shows you that you can never judge the distance and depth of one thing.
The second part about madmen and genius is from a famous saying, which I cannot locate at this point in time (I think it was off the magic card “Unifying Theory”). It is meant to help you understand that not everything is as it seems and that event the weirdest things can become interesting if you start to understand. It also helps add the idea that you must never fear the unknown, as it will never hurt to learn and interpret for yourself.
The final sentence is to help you the reader understand that website is all to with my understanding and interpretation of the world. This is due to it being written from my point of view. That is the reason why it always reads a certain way and If you know me then learn to read it as if I would say and you will enjoy reading it more ( if that makes sense)
As you can see the opening is now more complex and has more meaning just like this blog. Here is the original so that you can compare the two

"This is the website of Adam McConnell AKA The Borbon It contains thoughts, feelings and other things that I want to comment about. This is mainly influenced by the world around me..."

Charlie and the Chocolate factory

To analyse this film you can two opinions one of the film critic and the other of the child watching the film.
The Inner child
The film was great from this point. There were no problems with noise in the cinema as the kids around us were not bored and there was plenty to look at. Some of the parts were excellently done. The Umpalumpas even though CG’ed were a nice touch and the songs were excellent along with the dance routines (especially rock gods). The film had a good feel good factor. It had its good points and also everyone laughed at certain points. A good film for an audience
The film review
It was a very bad film. Not very memorable as I cannot remember anything in it and I saw it only 4 hours ago. Johnny Depp’s acting was good (and I mean very good). Not typical Tim Burton though no weird angles (apart from the house). No gothic material as you would expect from Burton and it looked as if the contrast on the screen had been turned up.
Review
Not bad could have been done better. Acting very well done (not on the part of the kids I must say). Not very memorable and good for kids for entertainment but more fo a video film.
Stars = **

The People around Me

This is a post to tell you who the people around me. Each name will be accompanied by a quick comment on who they are and also how I met them. This is to help you understand and put int o context some of he posts on this site.

Adam McConnell cannot be held responsible for any problems as a result of misunderstood sarcastic comments.




I am so sorry about this one. I thought it up last night and it tickled me to end. I am still smiling now. But on a more serious note

The Sarcasm trust
Can you pledge just £2 a month to help me educate people in the way of sarcasm?
Not understanding sarcasm is a born defect in some humans (like Americans not getting irony) and leads tem to believe that some statements are true. This can cause them problems in social gatherings when surrounded by people with a really high intelligence. They feel the need to laugh at the comment without knowing their true purpose.
With just £2 I can help one such idiot understand that sarcasm is not a bad thing and that it does have its place in society.
Here is a comment of one such idiot
“I was the butt of many sarcastic comments in our group of friends but thanks to Adam I now understand sarcasm and can think of witty retorts as come backs to the many sarcastic comments I receive on a regular basis” (Chris, Middlesbrough)
You too can help many more people with just £2 a month.
So please give generously because they don’t understand the importance of such good humour.

Curiosity killed the cat

If curiosity killed the cat then Einstein must have help start a cat holocaust.
I am getting a present delivered from my auntie and grandma. It is a joint present for my birthday just gone. I don’t mind about the wait and the fact that it is late. I am interested in what it contains. They wont tell me what it is and neither will my parents so it is a surprise.
The problem I have is with my curiosity itself. Am I more interested in what it could be that what it is? Is it the wait that is driving me spare or the idea that I would have to be expensive if it was being delivered by courier?
It will be delivered in the next 3 days and I cannot wait to see what it is.

The other thing is, was it what I wanted (I don’t know what it that could be) or will I be disappointed when I get it (whatever it is). I just don’t know.
According to my auntie it has to be feed and will be very interesting. This was said while she was laughing so I don’t know whether to believe her.

This thought has been in my head for days, as I have no stimulation to remove it from my mind.
In a few post I will say what it was even though I know that you don’t care.

The other thing that I am curious to find out about is my exam results. They are due in about 3 weeks time and I need to know how well I have done (or not in this case). This will allow me to make important decisions that could affect the rest of my life. This is mainly due to the course that I want to do being one in which a career future is definite. I am also curious to see if any more information has come up about that job a Macmillan (probably not).
At the moment I am on about 7 cats worth of curiosity

Missing Cassie

This is a very unusual subject and involves the reason of dreams. It has so far been about 3-4 months since she had to be put down.
As my sleeping pattern fluctuates so does the quality of my sleep. Normally a person would into a deep sleep (REM I think). This is where the body shuts down completely apart from life processes and eye movement. At the moment I am not reaching this stage of restfulness (due to something). This means that I am still able to move and talk in my sleep when I am dreaming. This has resulted in some unusual thing happening when I dream.
As I am now subconsciously missing my cat she now appears in most of my dreams. I remember her very well and she acts the same as she did in real life, which means I don’t find out the dream is a dream until I wake up. The dreams are very real and allow me touch and feel again. Not usual in dreams as all senses shut down so you cannot feel pain or anything else until the time of waking up (apart from flying in dreams have not had that explained).
A few days ago I woke up with my arms cradled as if I was holding Cassie as I had been in my dreams in which I had spent the whole night (in my dream) crying over her death.
It seems to me that I need to gat over it consciously and then my sleeping will return to normal. This could hep with the removal of my stress and might explain why the last I got drunk I burst out crying without knowing why.
Anyway this was just to inform you all of my unusual insomnia.
