The wonders of blogging.

Have you ever wondered why people do this? There are over 961,507,103 on this site alone. Blogging has taken over the world. Today I had a bit of a break from work and spent it browsing some blogs. So many of them are, just as I expected ramblings from people. Thoughts about their life, their worries, their feelings. This is how I use my blog. I don't post very often. I post when I have something to say. When I need to release my feelings. When I just need to have my thoughts out loud. This can be applied to both 'positive' and 'negative' posts. I understand that there are people who read my blog, who will judge, assume, and worry when necessary. But please note that my blogs are not written with a reader in mind. I do not assume that people will read, take note, take interst, nderstand what I am writing about or referring to. I really don't write my posts to victimise or criticise anyone. I do not write them to intentionally belittle or upset or offend. It a way for me to rid of my excess emotions. I can only apologise if my latest post has caused any hurt or upset or offence to any of my 'readers'. This was not my intention and never will be.

Wow...145th post...

...that seems pretty impressive!! I think I have probably written 145 posts of worthless s**t though!!

I don't think todays will be any different. I have had an odd few weeks. I have seen...realised...been made aware of many revelations that have been happy, joyful, amazing, tearful, and sad. It is unfortunate that the saddening and unhappy relevation is fairly dominant over the happy, joyful, and simply amazing revelation. Don't you hate that the bad no-matter how infrequent or insignificant always seems to outweigh the good, if only for a day, an hour, or even a second. That 'bad', soul destroying, possibly life changing...life effecting thing takes the excitement and pure unadulterated happiness out of your life. I know that hate is a strong word, and I refuse to allow myself to actually hate anything or anyone. But for that day, hour, or second I have to admit that I have at times wished that I have never had the 'pleasure' of meeting the cause of my unhappiness. That said, I am a believer that it is only you that can allow someone or something to upset you, and that by overlooking things and shrugging things off you are being the bigger person. But we are only human right? We are not emotionless. Sometimes things are too much. Too upsetting. Too hurtful. It is at these times that it takes a lot to be the bigger person. It is not always achievable. It is at these times that I use the word hate. I hate myself for not being strong, I hate myself for not giving my all, I hate myself for not being the friend that I know I can and want to be. I hate myself for not going the extra mile. I hate myself for not asking the questions I wanted to ask. I hate that I can't find the right words. I hate that no matter what I tell myself, no matter what I try to think I can't stop feeling alone, empty. I can't. And I hate that. I hate that my happy thing, my happy place no longer provides warmth, it no longer provides comfort. I hate that. I hate that I will go to bed feeling guilty for my failures in not giving the day and everything in that 100%.

I hope you had a good day.

February 14th

Well this day...as you all know is famous for Genetics as today is the anniversary of Dolly the sheeps death.

R.I.P Dolly

...You will be sadly missed by the Welsh and British alike!! Hehe

Yes I realise it is St Valentines Day as several thousand years ago St Valentine had a feast... but I don't understand why that has lead to lots of sickly sweet couples giving each other meaningless gifts?? I know you're probably think I'm just a really bitter singleton...but really what is it all about?? Has the day of sending of mass produced heart shaped cards, expensive flowers, giant teddy bears, and lots of chocolate really developed due to Geoffrey Chaucer??

Approximatly 1 Billion cards are sent each year...that could account for around 1/6 of the Worlds population sending a card??!! Of those cards sold 85% are bought by women! This could suggest that 70% of cards sent are NOT replied to!! Why do it to yourself?? Unrequited love is bad enough at anytime of the year...never mind on 'thee day for all lovers'!

Gggggrrrrrrrr...I fear that we are becoming more Americanised each year...continuoulsy making a big deal of 'Hallmark Holidays' such as Today, Halloween, and holidays that actually had meaning such as Easter, Christmas, and Mothers Day are becoming more and more commercialised and the initial meanings are being forgotten.

Ggggggggrrrrrr to the people that have caused this to happen. Maybe you should ask yourself a question next time you recieve a gift off someone. What day is it? I hope you are happy and feel all warm inside after recieving a gift from your loved one because society told them to buy it.

Love to all that have love, and to all that have yet to find love. No hearts, flowers, or candy. Just because I want to give it.
