It's a long one... comfy?

Hey y'all.

First things first, I'm sorry about the quality of posts thus far. Sometimes i forget that quality is better than quantity. I'll try and post more interesting (and, if you're lucky, Relevant!) things from now on.

Speaking of which... I have a question. Why does everyone feel the need to state the obvious?!

Recently, i've noticed that people are pointing out the most obvious of things! For example, The last few days i've been trying to learn a new trick on the halfpipe at central (the local skate park) and the kinds of comments you get...

Things like "Oooh, you almost had that one!" when I land it one footed, Or something like "Yeah, you gotta turn a bit more" When i might land only halfway around.

I mean, i'm not the first guy to notice this! If you havent read "The hitchikers guide to the galaxy" (which incidently, is a trilogy in four parts), then aside from being utterly literally challanged, you're depriving yourself of hundreds of laughs. Real ones. As in "i just shot milk out my nose" funny.

But I digress, In THGTTG, One of the main characters, Ford prefect, makes a note that Humans seem to feel the need to comment on everything. Otherwise their brains might start working.

Y'know what? it'd be funnier if you read it yourself... go buy it now. You won't regret it!

Aside from people I havent seen for almost a year telling me that i'm loosing my hair ('cause, y'know, it's not like it's on my head or anything) I've been just surviving. The papers i need to aquire my visa should be arriving tomorrow, and then i can book an emergency appointment... and with any luck i should be flying 5 working days after that. So, woot for me huh?

I'm only 10 days late so far. Not too bad...

Anyhoo, i have a new thing to finish on. Seeing as how i've been blogging for quite a while now ( This one was first Then there were two, and More recently, this one.. If you're bored on the internet, read these. They have some good posts in there. I'm hoping for some good content like that when i finally make it to America!)

Again, I have strayed from my point.

The new thing i'm gonna finish my posts on (until I think of something better) Is that i'm gonna use my D in media studies to analyse a line or two from a song. See, I have hundreds of songs that mean a lot to me(lyrically that is) and i want to share some of those meanings!

We'll start with something nice and easy, real puddle-deep stuff. Just take this on face value...

Robbie williams - Strong

"And you know and you know, 'cause my life's a mess... and i'm trying to grow, so before i'm old i confess,
You think that i'm strong, you're wrong, you're wrong..."

This means something to me, because it talks about a time of my life (as most of these will do!). This is exactly how i felt just before i went off to America the first time. Everyone was praising me, saying how proud they were. When all I was feeling was that I had to change something. Life was going nowhere. I could honestly see myself working in TKMaxx for too long... Hence the "before i'm old" part.

I dunno, thats just how i feel about how i felt... (did i just type in the first and third person at once?)

Anyways, Keep it safe kiddies,
