Family Poem

Mum are the ones who love us,
Always wanting to cook for us.

Dads are the playmates, the fun guys,
Taking tiredness after activities to new highs.

Sisters are the dearest,
But not necessarily the sweetest.

Brothers are a pain in the bum,
But with them are hours plenty of fun.

Grandparents are the wisest of all,
and we are always concern when they have a fall.

Uncles and Aunts
are the ones who buy those warm thermal pants.

Then all your cousins that you rarely meet
but when you do things work out a treat.


Hope you like. XD

Holidays - Chirstmas

It’s that time of year.

A few days till December, soon be decking the halls and singing on doorsteps. Mince pies and mulled wine (yum!!). Turkey with all the garnishes and Sprouts (yuck!!). Presents, we all like presents. But the best present is just the time we spend with our families/other halves.



But just take the time to think about those who won’t be having such a nice Christmas, those who are maybe going without a turkey dinner or presents or everyday things like heating this Christmas. If you see an opportunity to help, give as little or as much as you can this Christmas, to help those who aren't fortunate this Christmas.



Personally my Christmas is going to be amazing. For me 2 weeks out of my 3 weeks holiday from university will be spent with my girlfriend. 2 weeks of complete fun. But Christmas day I will be at my parents having my usual Christmas dinner cooked by my mum. Good old mums cooking.



But enough about me. TV listings are lucky good, got the usual movies and shows being shown. Sky is offering some new movies on premier. Enough to keep the whole family occupied as well as those old fashioned board games with your parents/grandparents.



I say all of these things as a reminder to everyone each year that the things they need to do is appreciate those close to you and remember the spirit of goodwill this Christmas. Each year many people forgot.

Rememberance and Tradition

2 Key facts in any countries have been kept for many hundreds of years.
1) Wars have been wages for thousands of year, and provided the necessities for the rise and fall of many empires and civilisations.

2) Many traditions are still in circulation and a few have become worldwide.

Using the UK as an example with similar stories occurring around the world.

Our Country with its history has created a good many traditions. Many of these traditions have stemmed from the Wars that were fought by the men and most recently women of the British Isles.

The most well-known of these post war traditions is the Poppy Appeal started at the end of the 1st World War. Its aim was to help provide funds to the wounded and maimed soldiers of WW1. This was reinforced when the world was once again plunged into war in 1939.

The symbol of the poppy came from the Poem in Flanders Fields, a battle ground of WW1. It has been used as a symbol of remembrance by Great Britain and its Commonwealth in helping to remind us of the people who gave their lives to help make a world for us to live in, in peace.

So why, remembering the starting reason, does a Islamic Group decide to burn poppies to protest issues in the middle east. The uproar it caused swept the nation like wildfire, and all other Muslim groups tried desperately to stand away from the extremism of the group.

When they burned the poppies, they shunned those men who died protecting many Muslims during WW2's Africa Campaign. Where if Hitler's forces had prevailed, more people from other faiths would have perished in a much wider holocaust. Instead they return to the roots of modern history and the crusades.

As an atheist, I can see the different beliefs of Islam, Christianity and Judaism. They all have common points, they all want to own Jerusalem, in essence they worship the same God, only the prophet of God is different and the prophets all have similar teachings and abilities to heal the sick and remove bad spirits.


I ask this of you, in the world we live in today. All 7 billion (and growing) of us, we must begin to reach out to each other and apply the same rules to each land giving consistence and prosperity to all. I believe this is essential for us if we are to spread from our home world to explore the unknown in space. We must become a worldwide team that works for Humankind, not for a religion or a country but for the World. Where everyone having their own strengths and weaknesses and everybody is held as equal individuals not matter of religious views, race, sexual orientation or gender.


Personally in the last year I have only come to believe in a few things.

1) This world is the only planet my feet will walk on.

2) The people in this world are losing faith in themselves, this creates mistrust and suspicion.

What I would like to see a world of peace and stability instead of politics, terrorism, denial and trustlessness.

When I remember those who died, I don't believe they died fighting for a religion, it was for something greater, and it was for freedom. No man or woman deserves to be oppressed or forced by rules of law to bow down. For every person is a singularity in a collective, and each person has a voice. A voice they can use to say their opinions and thoughts.

Whether they are man, woman or child, hetero or homo sexual, Muslim, Christian or Jewish, Black, White or Asian, I believe in freedom and justice for those who are oppressed and persecuted for wanting to have their opinions/beliefs.

The Lives of those in Love

So as you can tell from this title, I have found love.

Love - the strangest and most wonderful emotion in the world.

There are many arguments on what love is. My pitch is:

Love - is the uncontrollable longing for someone, with who you want to do everything with. She/he happens to be the only thing that keeps you going night and day. And when your together well, they say love sparks, but sparks doesn't cover what you could describe as a forest fire.

The simple version is you must know in yourself (not just your heart but every cell) that's this person is the right person for you.

I was lucky enough to meet my beautiful girlfriend 1 year ago, however despite our instant friendship nothing happened till 3 (nearly 4) months ago. We live 210 miles apart.

Many people would stop here and go - no thanks.

But another thing about love is - it causes you to do whatever you must to be with the one you love.

So every 3 weeks approximately we see each other, share the duties of travelling. We take every opportunity we can to be together.

For both our parents insist on telling us - Distance makes the heart grow stronger.

So 3 (nearly 4) months in, every possible detail has been spoken about. No secrets and no doubts.

What people of this modern era don't realise is that the biggest part of life now there are over 7 billion of us on this planet and you have to keep your eyes wide but your heart safe.

There is someone for everyone - but u can't find the right someone unless you understand yourself.

It took me 2 ex-girlfriends to find love. It takes others a lot more. And there those who find it first time.

To those who have found it, congrats. Those who haven't, play safe you never know who your true love is........... Maybe your colleague, a best friend, a complete stranger or the childhood crush u haven't spoken too for years. You cannot find what you do not seek.

All of this relates to one point which is becoming a growing concern in most countries.

Why are so many people getting a divorce? Yes we aren't in 1920 where divorce was very rare and under serious circumstances.

There are generations of people around my age (20) who have kids with boyfriends and now are single mums. These people some have unfortunate reasons but the key factor will always remain. If you cannot commit to a lifetime of caring for your child (ren) then think first and apply suitable measures.

Young men are the main culprits. Hormone driven, full of lust (often mistaken for love) and truthfully are like dogs who constantly want to hump something.

Young women aren't the innocent ones in some cases.

Children aren’t something to be taken lightly. To have a child (ren) you must first be sure you can cope. Many young men and a few young women cannot and leave. This causes problems for the child - like who will be there for them as that father/ mother?

To be in trusted with the responsibility of children you must be committed to a lifetime of work. If not then why start the process.

Any Comments??

Peace and War

Peace and War

Whether I loved or hated,

Whether I was praised or berated.

Whether I believed what I heard,

Not just the rumour of word.

Every religion appears

To protest to its peers

Of each other being wrong

Whilst singing every song.

Each government should know

Not to put on a show

But to behave like a responsible body

Instead of always saying ‘sorry’.

If we put the past behind us

And never ever let it bind us.

We could be free of all the War

No matter which shore.

I know that if we stood together

We’d be better forever

With our own hopes and fears

But never shedding needless tears.

Instead having plenty of laughs

Whilst learning new crafts

And always remembering those you adore

Because you’ll always being adding more.

When War becomes Peace

Hostilities will cease.

And we can begin to learn for the future.

The Earth forever will be our tutor.
