Food

I never used to enjoy food. Before now I've spent a considerable time in the kitchen preparing a meal which then takes me 30 seconds to eat (Literally). I used to think eating food was more of a chore than a luxury but I've learnt to enjoy it. However I now hate wasting food.. to the point where I'm eating other peoples food because it seems a "shame" to throw it away. I had an incident recently which was something that had never happened before. (It's not as bad as it sounds). I was making a very lovely dish of spaghetti bolognese for the first time, nicely seasoned and of which I had a little taste before I served it up. After I had dished it up I was quite proud, so I actually took a picture for the memories. It looked perfect, like the pictures on the cardboard sleeve of a microwave meal (that actually turned out to look like a lump of vomit). It had an essence of "That's not just any spaghetti bolognese... that's my..hand cooked... took me an hour to make... Spaghetti Bolognese."

Needless to say, somehow  during the time it took to get from the kitchen to the dining room, I dropped the plate. The plate smashed. The food landed on the white carpet. My spaghetti dreams were shattered.   I haven't made it since.

What a nightmare.

The Birthday Feeling

It's my birthday today. The big 1.9. I don't know why I get excited but I do. I still have the mind of a child when it comes to birthdays. I'm even sitting here alone, listening to the radio and blogging but I'm still excited. I'd hate my birthday to feel like any other day. My parents were going to give me some money for my birthday because I'm too "old" for presents?! No one is ever too old for presents! It's not about the presents though it's about the birthday feeling.. I think everyone deserves this birthday feeling even if you don't "believe" in birthdays.  I love birthdays, and even if you don't.. who cares? it's an excuse to have a good day!

Facebook

I've got nothing against expression of opinion...obviously. However when it comes to people bringing their love life onto Facebook, we don't need to know. People sharing pictures of them kissing their partner in the mirror are the worst. Or a couple going through a break up with status' such as (reading from my Facebook news feed):

- "Some people are so immature"
- "Can't believe some people"
- "Random quote from a song that people believe has something to do with their love life when actually it's doesn't"

Why do they do it? nothing but attention seeking. It never directly refers to anyone, just "some people" but then other people get involved, which is a huge mistake when they don't know the whole story and have only heard one side. Arguments break out, even fights. Friendships are ruined all from one indirect song quote. Destructive. Keep your relationship to yourself.

Hypocrisy

I am the biggest hypocrite in the world. The things I complain about I realise 10 seconds later that I have literally just done the same. In my complaint about people's spelling and grammar, other than the mistakes I made on purpose, there were some embarrassing actual mistakes. Needless to say I corrected them quickly to keep my composure. Everyone's a hypocrite really so the hypocritical insult is meaningless. I think if you were to call anyone a hypocrite, you yourself then become a hypocrite in this endless cycle. The way to get out of this hypocritical cycle is to stop complaining.....and yet.....

Football Fans

I'm not going to lie, football fans are complete idiots. It's a tricky subject because I myself am quite the enthusiast but I try to go about my football business in a nonchalant, subtle kind of way. Understandably people are passionate about the game but football is unpredictably frustrating and there is no need to be arguing and crying about it. We need to stop fighting with each other about who's the better team or who's the better player because we can't control football.  My team, spurs, lost today, which they shouldn't have but they did and this is how I deal with it. What I don't appreciate is getting a lot of stick from my friends on social networks, about how we were really rubbish today and how we are going to lose our champions league spot. Don't you think I know that? Surely the pain of knowing that is enough to deal with. I don't need you rubbing it in! If I had any control over that game I would have been the first one to try and do something about it but I didn't and there's nothing anyone but the players can do. This abuse that goes back and forth between football fans is a waste of time. No-one should be boasting until the end of the season, it's an unreliable game and it's about time the fans learnt that.

Did you see that??

Have you ever made an incredible shot that everyone else has missed?Moments like these pop up annoyingly unexpected.  I do it a lot. I once made a court length basketball shot without looking. Standing there watching the net swish should have been satisfying enough but it wasn't. Luckily my friend Grace saw me do it but even then, who's society going to trust? two insignificant people with an unlikely claim? She wasn't going to brag, I wasn't going to brag, so that was that. I should have been comfortable in the fact I know I did it and shouldn't have to convince people otherwise. But I wasn't. I kept thinking, I should have made a bet! or youtube'd it so it goes viral and the whole world knows I did it. I would then be spotted for my amazing talent and signed for some throwing sport that'll earn me millions. Unfortunately the chances of it happening again are less than none, so just try to enjoy the moment.
