My Family Tree Mess

For about a year now I have been trying to do my family tree. I've hardly finished my aunts and uncles and cousins, let alone going back to grand parents and their bothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, mothers, fathers etc. I have a few pictures of my great grandma, great grandad, great great grandma and even one i beileve is my great great grandma. I'm really looking forward to finding out about my ansestors and what they did. Who they were and so on. I think its amazing to know about. History like this is interesting to me because its part of you. Even if you never met them, there still part of who you are because with out them, you wouldnt be here. I will let you know what I find out about my ansestors. Good day to you!

Yellowcard! Amazing music!

I heard their song Fighting and I just love it! I can listen to it over and over again and never get bored of it! I just wanted to share it with you. Its not an offical video. Its just one I got off youtube, it has lyrics with it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

By the way Happy Ostara!

Edgar Hansen F.V Northwestern

So for about a year i've been obsessed with The Deadliest Catch. I mean seriously obsessed! I had to watch it with out fail. I loved the Corneila Marie with the late Capt. Phil Harris. But my most favourite boat is the Northwestern! I have a picture with the current crew which I shall slot in here with their names in order from left to right.

Jake Anderson, Norman Hansen, Sig Hansen, Edgar Hansen, Matt Bradley

The only person who isnt on in this picture is Nick Mavar Jr. Now when I started watching DC I thought Sig was a bit of all right! And then I thought Jake was. Not that I still dont think Jake is Yummy! But it didnt last long because Edgar is now my favourite! I know alot of ladies think that and sorry ladies hes happily married with three kids! But i just wanted to put some pictures of Edgar up so you ladies can drool over him some more! Enjoy!

Can we say YUMMY!!

The hardest thing about losing a friend

I just re-read a blog i wrote on the 28th November 2009 called 'Friend or Foe'. It got me thinking about that person in general. If im honest with myself I do miss her. Miss her daughter also, and her mum. And this is the reason for this blog. The hardest thing about losing a friend is re-adjusting. I mean i'm doubting myself for breaking a friendship which uptil a year ago i would have said is the best friendship ive ever had. But at the same time its a few months on and this person inparticular isnt really bothered that i am no longer around. It seems to me like i held the friendship in high regard and she thinks so little of the relationship we had that she hasnt batted an eye lid.

Am i stupid for doubting myself? More to the point am i stupid for wishing that there was something there to slavage? I like to think im a good friend but am i just a good friend in my own mind and no one elses? I mean, if i was that good of a friend wouldnt she want to be friends with me? Is that egotistical? By the way my brain just went haha testical!

Anyway like i was saying.. the thing that brought this friendship to an end was a stupid thing really. An arguement over who let who down more. I dont want to count the times when we've let each other down, it doesnt seem that important anymore. I found myself thinking of the memories and the previous arguments we had. The times reminicing over them and then laughing at how stupid we were to have argued over such trivial things in the first place. This doesnt seem like one of those times.

If fiendship was easy then the world would be boring. But in this case it ws never easy. Its like Lady gaga and beyonce once said:

Beyonce: "you know what they say Gaga, Trust is like a mirror. You can fix it if its broke.."

Gaga: "but you can still see the crack in that motherf**kers reflection".

I think this blog lost the point a little. But what im basically saying is friendships either grows stronger with each argument or sometimes, no matter how strong a relationship seems it can still be shook so violently that theres nothing left to build back up from. Is this the case here? Who knows. Am I wishing and hoping one day i wont be the only one who cares that this relationship as it sits broken and damaged seemingly beyond repair.. of course.

I wanted to share a poem about friendship which i personally think is beautiful.

"A friend is like a flower,

a rose to be exact,

Or maye like a brand new gate,

that never comes unlatched.

A friend is like an owl,

both beautiful and wise.

Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,

whose spirit never dies.

A friend is like a heart that goes

strong until the end.

Where would we be in this world,

if we didnt have a friend

By Adrianne S

Love your friends while you have the chance, you never know when they wont be around anymore! I wont say sorry because the way i see it i wasnt the only one who was in the wrong, but at the same time i seem to be the only one who cares. C'est la vie!

Happy Bday Mum!

Today is my Mums 50th birthday. Two days ago we held a not such a suprise party... a few members of my family didnt manage to keep it a secret from her. She tried to play dumb.. but like my mum says, there only so much playing you can do! Unfortunatly i asked her why she hadnt played dumb... haha! Anyway we had a special cake made for her. Its a sofa with a little figure of herself playing on a laptop. Next to her on the sofa is a dog, our dog called smokie. And a puffey with a nintendo ds on it. Cost quite a bit but it was a nice cake... until my nephew thought it looked tastey and decided he was going to eat the figures arm! Then he decided he wanted the ds! It was  funny moment when my mum asked what happened and I replied, "Nate ate it.. but dont worry its arm less!". Didnt laugh? Thats ok, you had to be there! Ayway here are the pictures of the cake!

Close up on the figure and the dog. Looks so much like my mum

The whole cake!

I think my mum enjoyed seeing all the family! Oh and Happy birthday to my Auntie Sue! Its her birthday today aswell. And no my Auntie Sue and my Mum arent sisters.

Our Deepest Fear By Marianne Williamson

This is widely known from the film Coach Carter. I think it is an amazing thought. Every time I read it, it makes me become all teary. I think when you have a dark moment or are self doubting then this piece is something that you should deffiently read. It was wrote by Marianne Williamson from the book A Return To Love.

"Our deepest fear is not that that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves 'who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabolous?'. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifiest the glory of God that is within us. It is not in just some of us, it is in everyone. And as we let our light shine we unconsciously give people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear our presence automatically liberates others."

For the workers!

This one is for the workers out there who work hard and yet their bosses dont seems to notice! So for you to enjoy is this... Ahh yes, by the way, mild language used!

When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be boss. The brain said, "I should be boss because I control the whole bodys responses and functions." The feet said, "We should be boss as we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go." The hands said, "We should be boss because we do all the work and earn all the money." And so it went on and on with the heart, the lungs, and the eyes until finally the assshole spoke up. All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the boss, so the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work. Within a short time the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain fevered. Eventually they all decided that the asshole should be boss, so the motion was passed. All the other parts did all the work while the boss just sat and passed out the sh*t.

Moral of the story: You dont need brains to be a boss - any asshole will do!

Morals..

I found this entertaining and useful. I wanted to share it with you so enjoy!

 

Three lessons to live by:

 

Lesson number one: A crow is sitting on a tree, doing noting all day. A small rabbit sees the crow and asks him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?".The crow answers, "Sure, why not". So the rabbit sits on the ground below the crow and rests. All of a sudden, a fox appears, jumps on the rabbit and eats it.

 

The moral of the story is: To be sitting doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

 

Lesson number two: A turkey is chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree". Sighs the turkey, "but I havent got the energy". "Well why dont you nibble some of my droppings" replies the bull. "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecks at a lump of dung and find that it actually gives him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day after eating some more dung, he reaches the second branch. Finally after a fortnight, there he is proudly perched at the top of the tree. He is promptly spotted by a farmer, who shoots the turkey out of the tree.

 

The moral of the story is: Bullsh*t might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.

 

Lesson number three: A little bird is flying south for the winter. It is so cold, the little bird freezes and falls to the ground in a large field. While it is lying there, a cow comes by and drops some dung on it. As the frozen bird lies there in a pile of cow dung, i begins to realise how warm it is. The dung is actually thawing him out! He lie there all warm and happy, and soon begins to sing for joy. A passing cat hears the bird singing and comes to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovers the bird under a pile of cow dung, and promptly digs him out and eats him.

 

The morals of this story are:

1. Not everyone who drops sh*t on you is your enemy

2. Not everyone who gets you out of sh*t is your friend

3. And when you're in deep sh*t, keep your mouth shut!

 

Hehe hope you enjoyed it as much as i have sharing it with you!

Today sucks!

I'm not having a good day! Bit of an under statement! Nothing seems to be going right. First my mobile phone decides that it no longer wants to work.. at all! Then I hurt myslef again. Then my cooking goes completely wrong! It was rice for crying out loud! Been in a bad mood because everything is going wrong. I might have a job that i wont be able to go to, but if i turn it down i get my JSA taken off me. Its complete bull! They told me the other day that even if i couldnt afford to get to the job on a dayly basis i still had to take the job because A job is better than no job. Idiots! I would have needed a job to pay for the job!

The job centre will hence forth be known as the joke factory from here on out! I dont want to get in to a political rant about the government and their "ethics" because lets face it, you dont want to read that and i cant be bothered typing it. Plus i would just get really angry over the fact that there (cant think of a better word) F#@%ing over the british public! Which lets face it, they are! Bloody Labour party! Honestly, facebook has it right. Jeremy Clarkson for priminister! Haha i would love to see that! Anyway, have a good evening!
