And thank you for tuning in. en Colonel_Beanie Colonel_Beanie Wed, 25 Jan 2006 12:53:36 +0100 daily 1 It is so nice to be happy. There are so many people with problems out there, and I see it, and I read about it, and I think, I have a quite uncomplicated life. I am so lucky, so fortunate. Here I am at 20, and it's all just beginning, there's so much possibility out there. I know it will go in a flash, and I will wake up at 80 (if I am lucky enough to live that long) and have the time to reflect on what once was. So I have been thinking, this is life, it's not a dress rehearsal, here it is. What are you going to do with the time given to you? I have already wasted much of my young life with feeling unhappy, with letting people treat me badly, with just... doing nothing, daydreaming. I want to be proud of my life, to have something good to say.  I am slowing making my way. There's still so much that I want to do that I have been too afraid to even attempt. It will all happen. A half-lived life is a tragedy. They say that you should dance as if no-one is watching you, sing as if no-one can...

Yeah, I thought so. Ok, well I guess I got bored with it, but I thought I'd come back and let you know what's going on. What have I been up to lately?? Oh.. nothing. That's right, that's why I stopped writing this. Ok, well here's something. I went out during the week to the pubs and clubs, and I have discovered something; I hate that scene! It's really just not me. I am an awkward introvert, what am I doing in that jungle? I am trying to change though, I hate being socially inept, I have wasted my entire life holding back, and look where it's gotten me?  Anyway, new year, 2006... resolutions anyone? Not for me really. I have always thought that everyday that you are fortunate enough to wake up is another chance. A chance to change or do something meaningful. I guess my hopes for this next year is to do something I can be proud of, so this time next year I can have something to talk...

I was about to get an early night, but then I thought I'd update this. Little Beetle enquired about what sort of movies I like, so, here we go. I like pretty much all genres of movies, except for maybe martial arts, but you never know, maybe one day!! I don't have a favourite movie, but the ones that are right up there are; Reservoir Dogs> I think this movie is great! The dialogue is so incredibly funny, and realistic, and you feel like you know that there are those kind of characters about. It has a good story, and Quentin Tarantino got very lucky with the actors who signed on for it! Schindler's List> An instant classic. What can you say about such a powerful film? The story is so tragic, yet uplifting and hopeful. And the actors, the characters, the dialogue all come together really well. Ralph Fiennes is terrifying in this role! Fight Club> I like what this movie has to say about todays world. It's very smart, witty, and...

Tink thought I should talk about my favourite song, so, seeing it's the only subject I can think of to talk about at the moment, I will. Ok, it's really not easy, but I'll narrow it down to a few. Jeff Buckley of course is right up there as my favourite musician. And the song of his that I would choose would have to be 'Last Goodbye'. It was the first I had heard of his, and it's such a beautifully written song. It has all the right elements. He sings it with emotion; lament, regret. The way the music is composed, the backup singers, the string section, it all comes together really nicely. He had so many great songs, and another favourite of mine is 'Satisfied Mind'.  I have always liked 'You'll Never Walk Alone' by Gerry and the Pacemakers. It's such a hopeful song, a 'light at the end of the tunnel' kind of song. Bob Dylan has this song called 'Positively 4th Street', and from listening to it, you gather it's about an old 'friend' perhaps that was a bit of a...

I don't know who it was or what button I pressed, but it's gone. Byarrrgghhh! I spent like 5-7 minutes writing it! Ok, well hi to all. I did start with something how it was sad because I checked and 3 people had visited my blog, and there was nothing for them to look at because I have been so lazy! I wasn't sure I wanted to do this, but then I thought what the heck. Ok, well about me; I graduated from high school a couple of years ago and got myself a full time job. That's pretty much me. I wish I could say that I go golfing on the weekends and I enjoy fine dining and a la carte' and soup du jour, but that just ain't me. I do however enjoy movies, music and very, very occasionally reading a good book. I'm not much of a reader, which is bad, because for all of my life up until recently I wanted to be a writer. And a writer who doesn't read much isn't supposed to be much of a writer at all. Someone said that. I don't know who. I have a whole stack of books waiting for...
