In Defence Of Our Dream

So it was my godson's second birthday today and I went down to celebrate it with his family and gave him his gifts and everything else you do for a second birthday. After the presents were opened and the candles on the cake had been blown out for the second time (he cried 'again!' and started singing Happy Birthday to himself so we had to) we somehow got onto the discussion of jobs and careers. My views on things like University and jobs never seem to go down well with my family, as I am of the opinion that money does not matter as much as doing something you enjoy. I discussed how I will make my future decisions based around the question: Will this make me happy? My aunt simply laughed at my apart naivety and told me that the world wasn't like that. She said that I will most certainly end up doing a job I dislike simply because I 'get stuck'. She asked what would I do if I started a job,  but later discovered I hated it. The answered 'change' was apparently laughable.


We only have one life, and we spend so much of it working - why waste that time working at something you do not enjoy? I believe we should have the main aim of being happy in life, and base our lifestyles around that. Am I the only one who has this opinion of how we should live our lives or are there others out there who don't believe we should settle for unhappiness just because we get more money?

This Is War

I don’t understand when I see all these people saying they are ‘upset’ because of Osama Bin Laden’s death. He deserved it, didn’t he? I also can’t understand why people don’t get why people are celebrating his death because only one terrorist has been killed, rather than them all.

Strangely enough, the first thought into my head was Harry Potter. How many of you finished the books and were happy that Voldemort was dead? Sure, he was not the ONLY bad guy out there, and there will be more, but Harry and the others had the right to celebrate his death because he caused so much death and destruction in the magical world.

Bin Laden is OUR Voldemort. He may not have been the only terrorist, but he was one bad son of a bitch who deserved to be brought down.

Just Be Sure To Wear Your Best

Mood: Happy
Listening to: Beautiful Thieves, AFI

 

So I have recently (this morning) rediscovered my love for AFI and 30 Seconds to Mars thanks to Virgin Media Music on Demand. I listened to some old AFI songs that I remembered, followed by a new one released in 2010 that I had never heard and found, to my delight, that the singer's ridiculous fringe was gone. He was also wearing A LOT less make-up and I realised just how attractive Davey Havok was. Ooh. Following the thought of attractive lead singers I turned on the 30 Seconds to Mars playlist and sat through a bunch of their music videos which seemed to be short films rather than music videos, with credits at the end and everything. From Yesterday was especially detailed, and I have to say I enjoyed the full length version as much as I enjoyed the shortened version that I had watched years ago. So now I find myself blogging in my room to the sound of AFI, a soundtrack that would not have crossed my mind only a day ago. Oh how I have missed them.

So I decided to actually post on this blog. My last blog was deleted after Google took a fit at my Youtube account and decided to take it out on my blog too. I curse the day Google bought over Youtube. I have not had the same close relationship with Youtube since that cursed day - we used to be so close.

I have spent the last hour or so browing Sasa.com for different make-up items as they usually have a lot of good Asian ones - and I quickly learnt of the magical BB creams. I found a few I was interest in including this Jasmine Water BB Cream from BRTC:

The reviews were good so I added it to my basket that I intended to actually buy when I had money in my bank account. I then noticed the price seemed to have doubled between the information page and checkout: shipping. £11!? I then remember it was coming from Asia and calmed down again. I decided to fill my shpping basket with various items including Creer Beaute La Rose Versaille Oscar Impact & Cool Eyeliner and Cyber Colors Silky Lip Pencils. The latter because the packaging was cute and the former because it was cheap. I have no references to base the quality on so I will just have to find out once I actually buy them, which could be a while considering I spent the last of my money today on my Godson.

Kyle, my Godson, is turning two on Monday and continuing the tradition I started on his first birthday, I bought the main part of his present in the Disney Store. I got him a little Buzz Lightyear top from the Disney Store and a book called Huggless Douglas from Waterstones. I had a quick read of the book before I bought it and the ending was so adorable I just knew I had to buy it! I know he is only two but it is important to read to children young, and I hope my Aunt has been reading to Kyle long before now. I just want him to find out the joy of books early, is that so bad?
