Cage Match

In life there are many different men. However, when it comes to violence there are only three.

There are those that fight at the drop of the hat, and due to their experience are quite good, like most members of my family.

There are those who know they are completely inadequate, usually bullied at school, who tend to be bitchy men; we all know the type.

The last type are the most dangerous. They are the ones who try and do anything to avoid a fight. These are the ones who let things slide, over and over. These are the ones who, when you push them too far will snap. More fool you to cross this kind of man, more fool you. These are the kind of guys you avoid annoying, especially when you know you're the second kind of guy.

The problem is youthful arrogance. Arrogance is like a big badge that says "please embarrass me". Those people may think they're winning, but that arrogance is exactly what drives others to ruin them. Eventually, someone does come and wipes that arrogance away.

After all, it is a dog eat dog world.

Happy Holidays

Just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Please take a minute to reflect on those less fortunate than yourselves and remember that not everyone is having an enjoyable festive period.

A Rebirth or an Evolution?

Earlier this week, Amazon made a BIG error. They sent out 500 copies of Lil' Wayne's new 'rock album', Rebirth, despite its release date being postponed to February 1st 2010.

It remains to be seen whether this will affect album sales and whether Wayne himself will change the tracklist for the official release.

It is presumed Wayne wanted the album to be released to coincide with his prison sentence as to maximise his exposure during a time of incarceration when he will have very little.

The actual album itself (don't ask how i obtained a copy, and i'll tell you no lies) is suprisingly addictive. The tracks aren't immediately impressive, but make you want to hear it again. And in doing so, you find the tracks grow on you.

There was a worry that Wayne wouldn't stray to far into the rock genre and would just play around with guitar riffs etc, those worrying needn't of bothered. He goes in, and goes in hard. Harsh vocals, harsh electric guitar, harsh drums. Its all there. And it works.

The biggest track of note is 'Drop the world' and features Eminem. This looks like the albums signature track as the label have made a concerted effort to clamp down on the sharing of this track in particular.

Heres one of the best tracks called 'Knockout' featuring Nicki Minaj:

2009

I havent written anything in a long while. Its amazing how ones life can suddenly pick up pace without any noticeable warning. I have been working really hard at university to try and get a degree of some quality, but when i think back, thats a lie. I haven't worked really hard, but it feels like it. God knows how those other 'good' students manage it.

Anyway, enough excuses. Basically, I was contemplating deleting the blog. I can't see the point in having this taking up web space when nobody really looks or updates it. However, the proactive side of me (the one with a halo and wings) decided to just post and put the feeling to delete off a little longer.

So here I am. Looking back through the posts its quite humbling. Seeing, the promises my friends and I made to each other at the start of the year, to make this about 'the boys'. Seeing that fail. Seeing myself post a list of my perfect woman, thinking it would never be met. Seeing that succeed. Seeing me post new opportunities for writing, then seeing myself quit them.

I realised that this blog serves a massively important purpose. I know ultimately no one reads it, but its a record, its something to remind me where I have been and to write where I am going.

I cant believe this years nearly over, its been one of the best years of my life. The first half had some of the funniest moments I can recall, which has been complicated into a video already - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH6mbWwyMxI - (shameless plug). The second half, has cemented some friendships further, lost many more, found an amazing person, lost many insignificant.

Two contrasting half's of a year, that has been both juxtaposed and intense but thoroughly enjoyable throughout. I've partied hard, relaxed harder. Worked a lot, slept a lot more. Been to Rome. Seen the birth of two beautiful babies. Seen an idol perform. Seen another NFL game. Watched my favourite comedian live. Played the best football of my life. Found the love of my life *cough, Adam, cough*, and this girl called L. (hehe :P)

So, heres to 2010, which I've heard is Gina Harrison's and Atem Eyong aka Jay Breezy's year. So, I've had mine, heres to you guys, i wish you all the best, invite me to the after parties.

2010
