God’s perspective

Personally, I am an atheist, but I was asked to write a piece on what god would want to say to us if we did believe. This may help you decide if you should believe in a god or not.

…

You asked for strength, I gave you difficulties to make you strong.

You asked for wisdom, I gave you problems to solve.

You asked for courage, I gave you dangers to overcome.

You asked for love, I gave you a heart.

I gave you nothing you wanted; you received everything you needed.

I have answered your prayers.

 

I gave you a brain for knowledge, you invented crime.

I gave you hands, you created weapons.

I gave you fresh air, you pollute it.

I gave you healthy lungs, you destroy them with smoke.

I gave you clean water, yet you don’t share.

I gave you everything you needed; you did what you wanted.

Answer your own prayers.

 

I gave you peace. You chose war.

 

Top 10 Disney films

Celebrating Mickey Mouse’s 90th birthday for the other day, I decided to try and pick my favourite Disney films. This was probably the most difficult thing I have put myself through as I am a HUGE Disney lover. I had some help from my younger sister and we have been trying to make this list for the past two days. I have left out Disney Pixar, as I will make another list of my favourites.

(Just some old pics of some of my family and I with the famous characters.)
  1. Lilo and Stitch – all time favourite of mine.
  2. Mulan – ‘I’ll Make A Man Out Of You’ is one of the BEST songs.
  3. The Little Mermaid – I used to have a wig of hers.
  4. The Lion King – Did you know this film is inspired by Hamlet?
  5. Frozen – I had an obsession with this for 3 years…
  6. Moana – I watched this over and over and over.
  7. Oliver and Company – why does the poodle do exercises?
  8. The Black Cauldron – okay what was that dog thing in it?
  9. Pocahontas – When I was a kid I thought my hair looked like hers in the wind.
  10. Aladdin – Jasmine’s clothes were to die for.
  11. Peter Pan – who hasn’t ever wanted to fly?
  12. Beauty and the Beast – The beast is better looking than the real him.
  13. Dumbo – Elephants are my favourite animals.
  14. Hercules – I love the sass of the singers
  15. Bambi – when his mum dies 😦
  16. Treasure Planet – I love the little pink blob.
  17. Chicken Little – I had no idea this was Disney.
  18. Wreck-It Ralph – I want to see number 2 already.
  19. Brother Bear – the old woman makes me cringe when she says ‘beauty’
  20. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh – one of my favourites as a kid.
  21. Fantasia – can’t remember much, but still remember that it was awesome.

Okay you’re probably wondering why I’ve listed 20 films here. Basically, I couldn’t choose a top 10…and I sort of still can’t. ALL Disney films are amazing and that’s why they should all be listed. However, that’ll be a very long list.

Each film can be your favourite at different times depending on your mood. Although Lilo and Stitch will probably always be my go-to film.

That’s life.

Is that what you do all day?

Sit their drinking your life away.

An abuser,

That’s what you do to her.

You work hard and earn money,

Spend it on drink, you think it’s funny?

A beater,

And probably a cheater.

You’re not lazy, I’ll give you that.

But most of the time you’re just a fucking twat.

A drunkard,

That’s what everyone’s said.

What happened to acting like a dad?

You don’t even try; you’re just sad.

An alcoholic,

You couldn’t give two bollocks.

Constant stench of smoke and beer,

Your children and wife full of fear.

An Eeyore kind of day

eeyore

So today was raining again, and it’s a Sunday. That meant only one thing… a lazy day!

Everyone loves a lazy day. Don’t argue with me on this. You know, those days where you stay in bed till noon, wear pyjamas all day, and eat ice cream for breakfast. Only joking, I was actually fairly productive for lunch. I cooked garlic butter chicken. It was AMAZING – with a little help from the boyfriend of course. It took all of about 10 minutes to make, and half an hour to cook. I thought it went well with being lazy, by not having to do much except cut some garlic. Quite a lot of garlic in our case… we’re big garlic lovers. Thinking about it, we’re probably the smelliest couple around.

Lazy days are the best, when you can just ‘Netflix and chill’ all day, but they’re always better when you have someone to be lazy with. Whether it’s your friend, Mum/Dad, bf/gf, being a sloth with someone is better than doing it by yourself. Do you know why? That way you feel less guilty for eating that whole packet of Jaffa cakes and watching about 6 films in one day.

What’s your ideal lazy day?

Rainy days

rain.gifI woke up this morning and the sky was grey, the trees were wilting, and there was no one outside. It’s now gone midday and nothing’s changed. It’s finally looking like it’s Autumn.

Reasons why I hate rainy days:

  • it’s cold
  • everyone seems miserable
  • I don’t want to get out of bed
  • today I needed to go shopping

Reasons why I love rainy days:

  • you can wrap up in a blanket
  • watch films all day (if you don’t have a gazillion assignments to do like I have)
  • drink hot chocolate to warm you up – I appreciate them more on a rainy day
  • you can jump in puddles

Are you a rainy day person where you like to embrace the soggy weather, or would you rather be lying on a beach in the hot sun? I know my answer would be the second one but I have work to do…

The journey begins

Here goes everything…

It’s tough being a teen/young adult. I want to do well in school, I want a social life, I want money, I want to keep fit and healthy, I want… so much. Don’t you?

Trying to keep everything balanced seems impossible nowadays. That’s why we have to prioritise. To school or college that means putting your education first. To parents that may mean doing your chores first. What I really want is a social life first but we all know that can’t happen in this moment of time.

I’m finding, in my second week of Uni, things run quite a bit different here. It doesn’t mean you get less work or it’s not as important…hell to the no. BUT it does mean that your tutors/lecturers take into consideration what life is like. You’re busy, stressed, running in circles (not literally). But it also means your social life basically is doing assignments and attending lectures. To me, I find that fun…but I can be a boring old fart.

For me, it’s the freedom that I love. Living away from home, waking up when you want, eating what you want. Right now I’m digging into a pack of cookies but who’s judging? NOT MY MUM.
