And for the second year in a row, there is no real woman in my life :(

In the Metro, about a boy of 10 that had recieved an ASBO for anti-social behaviour over the course of last year.

His crimes ranged from things like being abusive to Police community officers, threatening people with a knife, actually throwing knives at people, stealing from people in the street, burglary and let's not forget your typical vandalism.

Let's remember that this kid, is 10 years old. I can't even remember saying boo to a goose at 10 years old, let alone stealing from someones back garden shed.

Anyway, he recieved an ASBO and the best part of the article (and the reason for this post) was to highlight what his mother said, (this isn't a direct quote) ;

"He's a reformed child now, he doesn't do drugs, doesn't commit crimes, just the occasional ciggerette"

I'm sorry, the occasional ciggerette ? Hahahahaha

Seriously, at 10 ? That kid needs a serious turn around before he ends up on the trash heep along with the rest of 'em.

Oh and in other news, our young offenders "intituites" (prisons) - are overflowing with inmates, so they are going to look at releasing some early.

Please, someone. Wake me up.

Next monday, which is good.

Means i can wake up later and get home earlier. As well as having my own room without having to share with anyone, woooooohooooooooooooo!!

Oh, and i am really begining to like these small posts. I feel as though i should post more, but there is enough advertising and padding within Vox that it spreads them out enough to actually look like real content.

Seriously, every day i come through Ham/Richmond/Kew there is either new roadworks, a dead body found somewhere or something that causes traffic that was different from the day before. I am seriously gonna get out the flags when i managed to make it through these areas without getting shat on by roadworks/dead body/idiot people.

When i first started this blog, i set out with the idea that i would regularly update, take advantage of the latest web 2.0 blog technology and really get into it

Posting pictures, movies, music for the world and my audience to share in (not that i have more than 2 people on my current friend's list, neither of which update) and thus, meet new people and do the whole social thing.

I guess as well, there was an aspect of, a fresh start, with me getting up off my arse and moving back to London after being in Sweden for so many months and getting a job, having the bare minimum of stuff with me (my entire life, 1 box, 1 suitcase) and actually achieving all this stuff i dreamt of when i laid back in my big soft and comfy chair.

The not so soft and comfy reality however is, that i was lying when i said it would be easy, or at least i didn't quite realise myself what exactly it all entailed. Don't get me wrong, i would not change any of this for the world, well it depends if you actually offered the world i might think about it, but i guess it's like when you sit down and you write a list of things to do before your 30/40/50. All of them seem so easy to do, get a job, get married, have kids, cure cancer, win a nobel prize. But the actual reality is quite different.

Again, not asking for easy street, and as much as i would love to win the lottery and live away the rest of my days in financial comfort being able to do whatever i wanted to do without the slightest consequence, there is a great amount of pleasure in actually doing something, yourself.

I remember, sitting in Sweden in my big chair, thinking to myself how easy it would be to go back to London, get a job, work, find a place to live and break free of all the restraints i put myself in, mental or physical.

And so i did, and here i am doing it. I have a job, i have somewhere to stay for a good while and the future is bright as long as my attitude stays the way it is. I think really, that this post is mostly a post for myself, since no one does read my blog, but also a self development style kind of thing (that was one of the dumbest things i have ever written), shedding the old me and creating the new me.

There is still work to be done, and once again, i am the only one that can do it. Not because others cannot help, but because it's so much better when you do do it yourself. Then you can sit back in that big, soft and comfy chair and say ; "I earned this".

to be in London again before the end of Febuary.
