I really had to…

I Don’t Know Much About Art…

…but i know what i like.

“This self portrait of Polish artist Pawel Althamer has been erected outside the Palazzina Appiani in Parco Sempione, Milan’s main park. It is claimed the floating model has attracted more than 3,000 visitors since it was installed on Monday.”

Allow me to be Frank

“And now, the end is near…”

How fast has this year gone?! You get bored of everyone saying,
“Oh, this year’ll fly by”, and you just nod and agree but don’t really give it a second thought. But sadly, it is true.
The final stages of education at Wath are here. Everyday another year group seem to be leaving, and with the Y12s gone on Friday, the common room will seem deserted (although cleaner I must admit). I’ve been wondering all year what leaving would feel like, and I have to say I think it’s affecting me more than I thought it would. The inevitable realisation of leaving all my friends to make a new life at uni is terrifying, and yet I’m really looking forward to living in Hull. Remembering how scared I was moving from Primary School to Secondary School isn’t a comfort, at least I was moving with friends.
But, even though I sound depressed and all ‘emo’ like, I’m not.

Still, I am apprehensive about uni and I realise I will be until the day i get there, all I have to do then is make some new friends!
Everyone is saying that they can’t wait for uni, to move out from their parents and to start a new life with new people away from Wath, being scared of this prospect seems to be taboo amongst peers, so I hope I’m not the only one who feels like this.

Anyway, I know that once I am there, making new friends and forgetting about Wath, not much of what i have just said will still stand true. It’s that first hurdle that I need to get over.
So, on the Friday that we leave, when we are having our ‘do’ (Mr Naylor, the backboneless Taylor), goodbyes will be flying round the common room and to be honest I’m not looking forward to this either. For some people, it will be the last time I see them, and I’ve never had to say goodbye in such a situation as that.
But, as Frank said, the end is definetly near, and all we’re waiting for now is that
‘final curtain’.

The Epic Of School

This is the video everyone’s been looking for, ‘The Epic of School’.
It a parody of ‘I’m not OK’ by ‘my Chemical Romance’, made with clips taken of peoples phones in the sixth form common room. Even if you don’t like MCR you should watch it. After all, it features year 12s being physically harmed, and our very own Henry ‘The Lim’ Lim.

So yeah. Here it is. Enjoy.

long day

This saturday started off normally enough – woke up late after goin to bed late (go figure), had breakfast, brushed me teeth, got in the car, remembered I was still in my PJ’s, got dressed and set off for Wing Chun.

not much to say, apart from that I got a pot of brown stuff that I have to keep out of sunlight, and a punch in the lip to boot.

finished Wing Chun at 12 as usual, got to Parkour late – as usual.

practiced my precision jumps, fell dowen a lot, looked at Jordan’s bone – that’s not a euphamism for anythin by the way – actually lookin at the bone in his knee while he was washin the blood off it (was awesome)

We trained on the cathedral for a while, where some woman came up to me and said it was inspiring to see young christians making the most of “what the Lord Hath given them” (or something like that)

(eh….christian…….o….k)

left Parkour a bit early to register for the “planet fear urban race” (not as exciting as it sounds)

The deal is: The Sheffield Adventure Film Festival (ShAFF)is on to promote extreme sports n stuff, so as an activity they have maps of the city centre with check points marked on that you have to get to.

I took the option of runnin the shorter race of 30 mins, meaning I had 30 mins to get to these points and answer questions on the area to prove I’d got there – I know what you’re thinkin – “apart from the running, it sounds simple enough.”

NOT THE CASE!!!

one check point that really took the piss was;

checkpoint-33 Q: what year did Richard corbet die?………………………….AND I’M IN A FUCKING GRAVEYARD, WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY EXPECTIN ME TO DO, CHECK EVERY LAST GRAVE STONE FOR SOME ANCIENT DICK?

needless to say I wasted little of my energy on this futile endeavour

-not that it helped in the slightest, I got back to the start point panting like a dog, 10 minutes late and got penalised 10 points GAAAAARRRGH!!!!!!

after that tiring business I booked my ticket for the Parkour and freerunning seminar in the showroom later this evening and buggered off home

where I was met by the horror that is…….Dennis and her webcam (she was going to show me a red 18 inch double dildo *whimpers*, still fun chattin tho)

sorted out the plans for tomorrows cinema excursion with Dinos and started writin this blog

But the night is still young and I have an interesting gig to get to. Peace out till tomorrow Y’all

this is one of the guys I train with at the weekends

skip to the last 2 minutes if you don’t want to hear the speech

Im BACK!

Where did he go, you ask?
Well, I went on a Business Studies residential to the JCB headquarters in Staffordshire, lots of diggers!
The visit was an overnight stay at a youth hostel (see pic), nice isn’t it?

Funnily enough, the JCB song by Nizlopi wasn’t being played inside the factory. Call me insane but I thought that at least one of the people we met would’ve mentioned it.

Anywhoo, just thought I’d mention it. Talk to you soon.

A radical thought

I know that many people will disagree with this but I really don’t care. I just listened to that radio broadcast about that old woman in rotherham who was murdered in her own home by a man who was only just released after robbery charges.

It just brought me back to the conclusion that I had already reached many years ago – the death penalty must be brought back into force in Great Britian.

In case you need further evidence of this you needn’t look far – the results of the recent Unicef survey clearly showed that British youths were the most socially destructive in all of Europe and the US, and there is no better deterrant than the fear of death.

please consider this objectively – but you know the statistics don’t lie!
