I am extremely lethargic today. I am not completely sure why, but I put it down to a lack of sleep. Right now it just feels like I have hit a bit of a brick wall. It just feels like that everything is incomplete and the future seems less resolved then I would like it to be.
Also, that dream I had really put me in a bad mood today. Anybody reading this won't understand, but she was horrible to me. It goes to show that even when you leave issues alone that haven't bothered you for such a long time - it can sometimes haunt you back in just one moment, just that 1 dream set me on this annoying mood swing and although I will probably be over it by tommorow it's something that I'd rather not have to deal with.
Few more weeks until University. I'm looking forward to it!

The Independent
I realised a couple of days ago that a British newspaper, The Independent had used a song in their advertisement on TV.
The song they used was Dr. Dre's Still D.R.E, I think it is a fantastic song, I like the beat and everything and the lyrical content of it all. I do wonder if the Independent know that the lyrical meaning behind the song consists of hating the police, drugs, owning AK-47s.
Just a thought, I still love the song anyway. and I read the Guardian.

Steve McClaren is a Tool.
Steve McClaren is one of those people that everybody finds annoying, he [apart from being vaguely associated with Man Utd] is a complete failure. He is a person who always think he is doing his best, but in actual fact he just fucks up everything he touches.
His career kicked off at Old Trafford, but thankfully he wasn't given a position of much importance, so he couldn't mess up the greatest team in the world. As you can tell I am a United supporter and for that Steve McClaren is a total arse, just a huge one. I am sure Sir Alex sees him as his largest failure in his career, even more so than Massimo Taibi and Mark Bosnich.
Next was Middlesborough, wasn't too bad I guess, finishing 7th and 14th in his 2 years there, and also managing to get to the final of the Uefa cup.
England, now the England FA was up the arse and ignorant in that they had to get an Englishmen to be in charge of the England team. This was after Sven Goran Eriksson was clearly not familiar with the wrath of the British tabloids and the bullshit that comes with them. McClaren wanted to make his small dick larger, so he dropped the talisman captain David Beckham to show that he was the boss and was even willing to put shit players in the team to make his point. He later realised what an arsewipe he was being and was forced to bring him back. England didn't make it into Euro 2008, and this was because of McClaren's horrendous team selection against the final group game in Croatia which ended in a 3-2 defeat.
Carson, Richards, Campbell, Lescott, Bridge, Wright-Phillips (Beckham 46), Gerrard, Barry (Defoe 46), Lampard, Joe Cole (Bent 80), Crouch.
That is the most second rate defence that England have ever seen, and Carson?! seriously what were you thinking? I remember the Croatian goals, absolutely ridiculous defending and the worst goalkeeping you will ever see. McClaren, was sacked obviously and good riddance to him as well.
Most recently, he has taken up the top managerial role of FC Twente, an upcoming dutch team. He was interviewed recently about being drawn against Arsenal in the European Cup, and while I watched this interview, I fully concluded that this guy is and always will be a tool.
Steve McClaren you are English, we all know you are English and we all had to put the with the bullshit that came out of your mouth when England were knocked out of the Euro 2008 competition. So why on earth is this arrogant tool putting on a fresh new Dutch Accent? Just because you manage in a different country doesn't mean you have to use their accent. Sven always tried to speak English but he never put on some stupid fake accent. He is an embarrassment, the people in Holland probably think he is a fool because the Dutch can speak perfectly fine English.
Last of all, Steve, you lost 2-0. In his match report he claimed that he was happy with his result, and that he had Arsenal rattled for 60 minutes. Alright 60 minutes there were no goals, but by all means FC Twente were not winning were they?! After 60 minutes Gallas scores, OH NO! our plan has only worked for 60 minutes! If they had scored after 8 minute I am sure McClaren would have claimed that Arsenal were rattled for the 8 minutes prior to the first goal. Idiot what kind of reaction to the end of a game is that?

Wake Up
Wake Up is just a title of a song which I like, it's a bit lonely and sad. On a different note I really like Calvin Harris' music right now too.
Updates on life. Tennis first I guess. I got my racquet restrung because it was being anal and finally snapped. Played against Jason with it for the first time today, 6-0, 6-0, 6-1. I'm not sure whether my racquet did the work or if it was me. I kept on thinking about the placebo effect and on how although better equipment your game alot of the time it just comes down to the person. I'm trying to get fit again but it's so hard by yourself, sure you can play tennis and football, which are my 2 favourite sports, but you always have to have somebody to do it with, you can not do it by yourself!
What else, ah yes gaming. I now own a DS Lite, green too! It's so small and compact. Like IE! haha. I will soon own a PS2 as well, and hopefully I will get Singstar and Guitar Hero for next year at University.
I start my job soon, this Friday in fact, I hope it all goes well because I've been waiting a long time for this!
I'm starting to miss IH again, I didn't before but it's been a while now and thinking about the people at IH just makes me think about all the good times, I might get a chance to see the guys on Monday though, that will be good fun.
Watching the olympics is inspirational, I get goosebumps! especially when Adlington won her gold, absolutely fenomenal. In football, I found it hilarious that Portsmouth missed 3 penalties, in particular Glen Johnson. I hope united sign a striker soon, my preferred choice would be Berbatov, but Henry would be more audacious.

The Dark Knight
I always struggle to think up a good title for my blog post.
But as I saw the Dark Knight the other day, I thought I would write a small review on it.
It is amazing, and will easily be the film of the year in my eyes. It will go straight into my list of films that I really respect. It was quite a long film, but was worth sitting through it all. Credits do go to the main actors, who played Batman, The 2-Face man and especially the Joker, Heath Ledger was surely mesmerising. The film touched upon many different themes and triggered many thoughts. I'd advise you not to read on if you don't want spoilers.
The Joker had made it his mission to prove that everybody was corruptable. And this, he did to Harvey the district attorney, who was driven to the 'evil' side through the Joker's actions. The Joker didn't just relentlessly kill people, he tried to make everyone corrupt. It just makes you think, that everybody has a limit. A limit where you will go against your own beliefs and values, and follow a different route to get what needs to be achieved. Another scene where Bruce[Batman], knows where two of the captives are, Harvey and Rachel. Rachel is the person who he believes he will eventually be together with despite her relationship with Harvey. Bruce will go against his professional choice to go for Harvey the more important of the 2 captives and instead go for Rachel the girl he loves. That of course is wrong, but understandable - people will always go for the option which has more personal value, even though morally they should not.
Anyways go watch it, it truly is amazing and as many critics have said, it has redefined the comic book super hero film genre. 10/10. and not many films get that. only great films like mean girls, shawshank redemption, lion king, american gangster have recieved that rating from me. =p
Memory, I have always thought. What if you could erase parts of it, the parts that you didn't feel were worth remembering, due to the pain or whatever. I've always wished that this could happen, not particularly because I have had a painful past or bad memories, it's just that there are parts that I would rather forget, I know in due time I will eventually just forget that rubbish that I think I don't need. I always wonder about re-meeting people as well. Sure everybody has their friends now, but say if you forget how you met somebody and to start afresh. I know it would be really upsetting for the other person to realise that you had forgotten all the memories that they you had of them. But, apart from that wouldn't it be really interesting, to see if your relationship would turn out the same, surely your friend will remember the relationship you had before, but you would have to start from the beginning. I always have strange thoughts like this sometimes, these 'what ifs' that of course are not actually scientifically possible unless I had a crazy accident and fell into a coma. That's all.

Post Number II
2nd post. Getting into this!
I keep on fiddling around with my blog, it changes colour all the time as I am never happy with the font and colour, I have now settled on this dark background, which is easy on the eyes even though it makes me appear a bit dark and strange.
I am unable write interesting, good blog entries, not like my good friend Hok, he has a style of writing which is so much better than mine, and I shall make it my aim to get to a style as admirable as his. Perhaps I need find better topics to write about and jot down my amazing ideas that I have during the day.
I am addicted to tennis, so addicted that I played 4 hours today. I have gymnasts hands as a result. It is an amazing sport I want to play it every day, and I would if I could find enough opponents! Played Jason today, he can not beat me, I must not let him beat me. I feel that even just 1 defeat against him will shatter my whole aura. You don't go and win every match against him [around 10] and then lose 1, you must go on winning, and the more you win the larger you win streak gets, and each time you play there is more at stake and more pressure to win. It'll just keep going on, and until I lose, and then when I do lose? then what happens?
Tommorow. Dark Knight. Can't Wait
