Much to blind to see the damage he's done, sometimes a man must awake to find that, really, he has no one...

Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh

She has been so patient with me, even though I've pushed her aside. Hours, days, or weeks; she's always there no matter how long it's been since our last date. She listens to everything I have to say without judgement, I don't have to be the best or most beautiful, I'm allowed to be myself. Ahh I love my blog.

It has been a mad first week back at University, lot's of good little things, one big bad thing. The house is OK for student living really, it's got walls and a roof, can't really complain, it is what you make it. I've already had to break into it once! We're waiting for the Internet to get installed so for the time being we're using pre-payed dongles, which are pretty shit; they take loads of memory to watch TV shows and you can't get Facebook chat on them, proper gay like. I've also lost my phone charger, so have been without the services of my phone for the majority of the week. However, today we did get Sky TV sorted, which is always good. I went out all three nights last week, Liquid, Norma's, and Steam, each one being better than the previous night. Steam I was dressed in a pink tutu and leg warmers, but no pictures were taken, so think I dodged a bullet on that one.

I have ended up having an awesome timetable this year for once, I only have to be in on Thursdays and Fridays. The slight down side to this is that I might not get to see everyone as much as I would like, but I'm sure we'll make it work. The one thing I'm really excited about this year is the boxing club. Last year I was just kind of Andi's friend that came along, whereas, this year already I'm one of the group which is cool. I helped out on fresher fair and something like a 150 signed up for boxing (including the most beautiful girl I think I've seen in my life), and 50 odd people turned up today for the first session. It's nice seeing new faces and meeting new people while still being in the comfortable surrounding of your friends. I've also bought that denim jacket that I've wanted for ages and now I never want to take it off.

The one major setback is that not even a week in and Mike has left the house and university for good. It sucks that he's gone but what makes it worse is the way he left, just disappearing off the face of the planet with no one knowing what's going on. I think I've turned cold hearted, it's not bothered me as much as I thought it would have. I always think, one day I'm going to wake up and all these friends I have and people that like me, has all a dream and I'll go back to being alone again. Once you happily accept that, nothing can really disappoint you.

Thought/Quote/Lyric of the Day...

But now we speak with ruined tongues
And the words we say aren't meant for anyone
It's just a mumbled sentence to
A passing acquaintance.
But there was once you,
You said you hate my suffering, and you understood,
And you'd take care of me.
You'd always be there.
Well, where are you now?

And I sing and sing of awful things
The pleasure that my sadness brings
As my fingers press onto the strings,
Yet another clumsy chord.

But I talk in the mirror
To the stranger that appears
Our conversations are circles
Always one sided, nothing is clear.
Except we keep coming back
To this meaning that I lack.
He says the choices were given
And now, you must live them
Or just not live,
But do you want that?

It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends

So I've kinda realised, I need to be obsessed with something, anything, to be happy. It's like the only time I feel genuinely happy, nothing else can bother me because I have 'whatever' to go back to. I think I've known this about myself for a while now, I clearly feel a different person once I'm in one of these phases, what I'm maybe learning is how shit life seems when I'm not. These so called phases of obsession can be over anything I like, and vary in how long they last. The first one I properly remember was Proof, just after he died, which lasted a good half a year of college. The most recent of these periods, was the Brand New thing I had, which is now over but lasted a good month and a bit. Other notable phases have involved, Eminem, Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, House, and Dexter, as well as smaller contributions by other cool people. Music and TV seems to be a favourite, just because it's the most accessible, I can always stick on the iPod or watch a interview or clip on the Internet.

The last couple of weeks have been pretty drab and bland. I constantly skip songs on my iPod, not knowing myself what I want to listen to, I don't know what mood I'm in. Same goes with movies I try to pick and watch. The closest thing to this love I've been feeling recently is Mickey Rourke. I always have time for this man, and after another show stealing hyped-up cameo he had in The Expendables, it's been all about him the last couple of days. I don't think there's anything left on the Internet that involves him, that I've not seen! He turned 58 yesterday and he is my hero, I could spend my whole life listening to him talk, love that kid.

I was bored earlier, just maxin' on Facebook and somehow ended up on 'my notes', which are a just a bunch of these daft questionnaire things that I used to love doing. They're all a couple of years old, but made me smile reading them back. So seeing as I have nothing new and interesting to say, I thought I'd post old stuff, it's funny to see where my head was at! :)

Let's Have A Toast For The Douchebags

Recently, I've not really been up to much or had anything relevant to say, and the blog has suffered the consequences. I sit here now feeling unmotivated and uninspired. The days have just sort of drifted away, with nothing of worth noting down. Not even listening to anything in paticular.

What has happened in the last week or so since you heard from me, is that I've now stopped fasting, which is a welcome relief. It was a long month, and to be honest I don't think I changed anything I wanted or became a better person; I still complain too much, still don't appreciate what I have, still have no patience and get into arguments and generally annoy people. Friday was Eid, which was ok, nothing special really. Although, I did end up getting £30 out of it. I didn't get the jacket that I wanted so I just tramped it out, but it's alright because I'm a tramp idol. It also happened to be Maria's birthday.

Thankfully, it's moved on now, but for the last few days the local fair came to the park outside my house. It just meant lots of people, noise and colours, all just makes me a little bit nautious. However, I did end up going along with my sister and uncle on the last night just before it closed, we were like the only people on the Energizer and Dodgems.

I've added a new tv show to my like list, called Rizzoli & Isles. It centres around the two main female characters, Jane Rizzoli a detective and Maura Isles a medical examiner, who work together to solve homicide cases. It's a new show and only one season old, which I finished watching today, it's a pretty intense drama. I had intended to spend this summer watching hyped up main stream shows, but after a slow start I've ended up becoming a fan of two new small American tv series that no one I know will have heard of, White Collar and Rizzoli and Isles, such a lonely life.

So summer's sort of coming to a close, this time next week, I will be in my new house in Crewe, living the Uni life. It's been a pretty mixed bag really, peaked early and then steadily declining ever since. It started with the release of Recovery, which turned me into beaming retard with a smile ear to ear. That was followed by the start of the World Cup, which in turn was followed by the highlight of the summer, the trip to Egypt. It's funny 'cause I remember saying something similar in the post just before I left for Egypt, but it feels like everything in life is a double edged sword, everything good has a consequence. For example, the trip to Egypt which was easily the best part of the summer, led me to the worst thing about my summer, having absolutely no money for the remainder of my time here. It's a delicate balance, in retrospect would I have done the same thing, who knows.

Thought/Quote/Lyric of the Day...
The death of a blog? Don't be surprised if you don't hear from me in a while.

The Collection - Part 3

I thought I'd post a few more treats for you. They were written somewhere in between a three year period, so reflect whatever I was feeling at the time and vary in content accordingly. I don't actually like posting stuff such as this, just because I don't really feel comfortable talking about it, as contradictory as that sounds. So enjoy it, make of them what you will, but please leave out the awkward questioning.

----------------------------------

Grace

You linger in my thoughts and in my sleep
When I drink and when I eat
In my nightmares and in my dreams
Every time I talk, every time I breathe

I’m so close and yet so far
Are we together or are we apart?
Are we a part of something bigger then this?
Bigger then this ‘love’ that’s only seen through the mist

Do you realise how hard it is
Walking up these lonely stairs,
Knowing that when you reach the top
There’s going to be no-one there that cares?

Friends is maybe all we’re supposed to be
The truth is, you’ll never be close to me
I feel you should have made the most of me
Regret it when the world decides to dispose of me

But the game has been settled, I’ve heard the score
The rejections have hurt I can’t take many more
I have lost, I have lost and furthermore,
I don’t want to wake up on my own anymore

-----------------------------------

The Only Way To Cross The River Of Fire Is By Drowning

Your heart has fallen for a love
It’s going to have to forget
Come into the midst of love
And look from where you first met

Even if you were blessed with beauty
Your insecurities are too great
They will hunt you down and make you fail
To find your eternal mate

This intoxication is your beauty’s fault
Your love is my entire life
You already knew it was over
So why go through the strife?

She’s moved on and is perfectly happy
And now you must do the same
So my smile continues to deceive the world
But that doesn’t heal the pain…

-----------------------------------

Second Best

If only you could see the irony in your words
You would not say what you do

We spend hours talking and laughing
Endless days comforting you when he’s away
But soon as he is back
You forget I ever existed

I take solace in the fact I’ve been here before
Waiting for him to leave again
And for you to come back to me
Love me out of desire, not consolation

The love that last longest is the one that is unreturned
It’s not the despair that kills you, it’s the hope.

------------------------------------

A Pure Drop In An Ocean Of Noise

Can’t wait ‘till I’m gone, can rest in peace
Live forever without the stress and grief
Can’t push my feelings aside, I’ve died inside
No point trying to swim against the rising tide

The constant pressure, I’m under siege
Everyone waiting for me to under achieve
As the days go on, people come and go
Too many times, saying goodbye before hello

I feel defeated, beaten and filled with sin
Only person in the race and still won’t win
I feel ugly, bored, tired and sick
I want to stop breathing, I’m dying to quit.

-----------------------------------

Vodka & Vicodin

So I continue to hurt myself
It’s no more then I deserve
I go back to my oldest friend
The drink, I could never swerve

I lost everyone that ever loved me
Chased away anyone that cared
I go back to the only thing I have,
The ugly drug to which I’m snared

I’m sick of following my dreams
Tired of reaching out for greater
I’ll ask them where they’re going
And catch up with them later

Some days I see a pool of blood
And imagine myself lying in it.
But I know, living in misery sucks
Marginally less then dying in it

-----------------------------------

I Know Enough To Know I Don’t Know Much

We talk all night but I don’t hear your voice
I don’t feel you near me, it’s not my choice
I don’t get to see you smiling at what I said
We talk all night but sleep in different beds

Our love is unspoken in a broken heart
We’ve both lost the time to play the part
And if this were a movie, we’d find a way
Yet here in real life, I have no lines to say

I’m vile and depraved; I know where I stand
I can’t be saved, so please remove your hand
Push you away; hope you discover who you are
I don’t deserve you, I’d only bring you scars

-----------------------------------

Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't

Now that Summer is pretty much done, we can all go back to looking good again. Yes it's nice to see beautiful people walking around not wearing much, but for I for one definitely look better the more covered I am. This being said the Autumn/Winter season is my favourite for clothes. The weather is decent enough so you can still enjoy being outdoors, whilst it still being cold enough to be able to wear layers without melting. Continuing slightly with the the theme of the last entry, I've been looking and found a few items that I would love to add to my wardrobe. It really has been a long time since I've bought something, and I feel a few new pieces would be a welcome addition for the year ahead...




Unsurprisingly, these items all happen to be from River Island, and the grand total of them, with the jacket from the last post included, comes to a tasty £236. I know what I'll be spending my loan on then. It would be a lot easier if I didn't have to buy a new laptop as well.

So as I alluded to in the post yesterday, I started watching a new show called White Collar. Maria came home over the weekend and was raving about it, so I've spent the last three days getting up to date with it, which is half way through its second season. It is about a charming, expert, highly intelligent, art forger and criminal. The whole show begins with him escaping jail and subsequently being caught by the same F.B.I agent for the second time. The reason behind his escape, with only months left on his sentence, is to find his girlfriend who he thinks is in trouble. Cafferty the criminal, manages to broker a deal with Burke the F.B.I agent, which involves him being released under the FBI's custody to help consult on other similar cases.

At the moment, I'm just going to say it's good but nothing special. I don't know if it's better than any of the others shows that I watch, however I'll keep watching it. Plus, it's given me something to pass the long days and late nights whilst staying up waiting for eating time.
It's finally September which means that House, Dexter, Chuck, and Castle all start again! All the seasons ended in really dramatic fashion, so the wait for new episodes have been exciting. I already know that for House and Dexter at least, the new season begins right where the last ones ended. Thought I'd post some links of the season endings, even if I'm the only one that'll watch them.

House and Cuddy finally got together after six seasons, now we get to see if they can actually work as a couple. Plus, House is meant to now be happy, which will be weird but intriguing. Very tense finale.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghM0nAHbZ-U&feature=related
Dexter's shocking final scene. This is the first time I'll be watching it since December, and finally in real time as I caught up with the first four seasons after they had aired. What will become of Dexter?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd8907jjkU4&has_verified=1
Castle's finale ended up being one of the saddest episodes I have seen of any drama and what really elevated it in my opinion. Plus, there's an amazing song written just for this episode.
Chuck ended with his father being killed and his mother who we thought was dead arriving on the scene. Couldn't find a decent clip. And while all these have been away, Leverage has kept me going and deserves a mention.

Thought/Quote/Lyric of the Day...
Do you believe you're missing out?
That everything good is happening somewhere else
But with nobody in your bed
The night is hard to get through
