Me on BBC News

So I know it's stupid and it only lasts like 3 seconds but...
HELL YEAH BABY I was on national television.


This was also broadcast in like October of last year. Hence the distinct lack of hair!

My Picturesque View

Here's a poem that I've been meaning to post for about.... 8 months but never got around to actually typing it up.

The night sky here is beautiful,
not a cloud to be seen. Filled with stars that burn like wildfire
a picturesque view, this could only be a dream.

Because you are never kind enough,
to let a moment like this be true
to give me such pure solemn joy
to provide me, my picturesque view

All I want is for you to show me
that things like peace & love are true
And that I can find them in my own life
That I can find my picturesque view.

Here's a poem I wrote in February 2010, yes a long time ago I know. Eventually I'm gonna run out of all my old poems that I keep coming across and I'll have to write some new ones #DreadingIt
 Anyways here it is. If you're clever enough to figure out what the poem is about (which isn't too too hard really) post it in the comments below (: Enjoy


Waiting for your movement
Seeing you there, oh so still
You’re dark and quiet
 Utterly motionless
 There is no life within you

 Your provider’s message gives me false hope
When I look into you, there’s nothing to bring me joy
You’re just a cold lifeless brick
Mocking me with your emptiness

 And when at long last you come to life
The words on the pages you give me
Are words that finally make me smile
Because you tell me the things I love to hear,
From the person, I love to hear them from

Bare Night Sky

Here's a poem that I wrote in the summer of 2011 while staying at my auntie's house in Tixall, Staffordshire. Literally the most beauty place I can think of. If everyone has a sanctuary . 'happy place' then this is definitely mine. Hope you enjoy the read.
Please leave a comment and tell me what you think.


The sky at night outside this window
Is like none I've ever seen
And the wind that whistles through the trees
It feels like its song will only play for me

There’s not one cloud in existence here
Not one fault to be found
Not a bird in the sky
Nor a mouse on the ground

The formidable tones of black through blue
A mystic orange glow on the woodlands edge
Every star that lights the sky
Burns with the intensity of an eternity

A million shining specks of inspiration
Sitting with potential for generations
Ready to fulfil, enlighten
And never ask for anything more than the occasional glance

At the undying beauty
Of the bare night sky

And for the first person to come and find it.....

When I Run

Right I haven't posted a poem in a while so here's when I wrote a good few months back that I've never really been too found of! Tell me what you think?



When I run it makes me feel free

I run without a care in the world

I run for myself and no one else

I run to feel my feet hit the tarmac
And to feel the cold winter air hit my face

When I run it’s not in fear
And it’s not to escape from the world around me

Because when I run nothing else matters

I run for freedom

I run for health

I run for me

#30ThingsAboutMe

So anyone that knows me personally knows that recently I've become, let's say, a Twitter addict, clocking up nearly 200 tweets in about 5 days (yeh I know right)

My favourite thing about twitter though (which is probably the same as most peoples) is Hashtagging! It's so #Addictive

So this morning when i noticed that #30thingsaboutme was trending I was like "Hell yeah I'm getting in on this action" until I realised "hang on... this is harder than it bloody looks"

Also the fact that many of my followers started to get annoyed at my excessive tweeting.

The ingenious idea to turn this Trend into a new blog came from Sam Woodcock. Thank you Samantha.

Postsecret

For those of you that don't already know "PostSecret is an ongoing community mail art project, created by Frank Warren, in which people mail their secrets anonymously on a homemade postcard. Select secrets are then posted on the PostSecret website, or used for PostSecret's books or museum exhibits." Thank You Wikipedia

I was first introduced to PostSecret about 2 years back by an old friend of mine; she lent me the first book in the series "PostSecret By. Frank Warren", which is available on Amazon, (Side-note, sorry Becky if you read this I will get your book back to you one day, I swear) TBH before reading I was abit sceptical, the idea of PostSecret itself seemed abit of a farce to me. I was expecting to be over loaded with childish antics and ridiculous "secrets". But to my delight I was astonished. The amount of pure emotion and raw feeling that the contributors put into every postcard. The number of heartbreaking pages, the occasional joke and the many cringes make it truly is the most authentic way of personal expression I have ever seen. The courage that goes into every postcard that gets sent is inspiring from the consciousness of ones own flaws too, in one case, an admittance of murder. the book will, unquestionably, have an effect on every reader.

And then it got me thinking... Do I have a secret? The only restrictions on the content of the secret are; that it must be completely truthful and more importantly MUST NEVER HAVE BEEN SHARED BEFORE! And thats the deal breaker, do I, in myself, think something deep down that I find too hard, dark, troubling or even embarrassing to share with anyone, even myself.

So one night I stayed up, got a 6 pack of . . . Red bull, a pen, a stack of paper, and a single black C4 sized piece of card. With the sole intention of finding my secret, making my postcard and joining the 1.7 million people that, prior to me at the time, had already become part of the Postsecret Community. The process itself was, let’s say, harder than anticipated. Unless you’re fully aware of it already, a secret is a hard thing to come by. In the end my personal PostSecret was something completely arbitrary but deep down it really meant something to me. And you know what. After I finally realised it, put it on a card, and sent it away, I really did feel better about myself.
I’ll be finishing this post of by showing you guys some examples of my favourite secrets that i’ve come across, one of them is also going to be my secret. And finally I’d like you, that is if ‘you’ even got this far and/or care to get involved, to send me a PostSecret of your own, do it anonymously in the comments down below, sent it me in an email () or for the more traditionalist out there send it by post ;

Enjoy.
