I'll explain...
Sometime ago I decided to give up Facebook and Twitter for a month. I picked June as the month to give it up, it was to establish, a few things really;
A) What will I miss out? Gossip, Events, News, Britney News etc...
2) How addicted am I to Facebook/Twitter?
C) Would anyone actually miss me?
4) What does my exsistance in The Social Network actually contribute?
I probably knew the answers to the above without having to actually leave FB and Twitter;
1) Quite a lot of Britney news or certainly delayed in discovering it, probably not so much of the rest.
B) Very
3) Unlikely
D) Not a lot I would imagine, even if The Sunday Times list of social networkers has me in the 4000's, whatever that means.
It's been a week now and this all leads me onto...
WEEK ONE
The first day started, obviously, at 0000 hours on 1st June 2011. I was on a Night duty, and the first thing I wanted to do as I was due to finish at 0300 hours was to tweet how annoyed I was for being forced to stay at work due to an incident. I don't normally mind but night shifts are the hardest shifts to get through and I just wanted my bed so bad!
The rest of the week has been similiar, I have done well, immediately deleted the FB/Twitter apps off of my phone and have resisted reinstalling them and having a sneaky peek.
I am quite an honest person and if I did this then I would only be cheating myself and my wee experiment would be pointless.
The biggest change I have seen this week is that I am using other services, Grindr, for example, I rarely used it prior to my annual leave from FB/Twitter, but I have found myself using it more, through boredom if anything else, during journey's to and from work mostly and even at home when I would normally be tweeting or booking.
Overall thus far I have had the biggest urge to tweet, rather than use FB.
Coming Soon
WEEK TWO

I'm a little bit BACK
Guess who's back? Back again?
I should kick start things off by doing a 2010 year review seeing as though I have not posted anything for just over a year.
2010: My Review:
It was a good year, considerably better than 2009.
Now to re-invent myself into a blog for the tennies!
Ideas?

2001
In 2001 I was working full time, still at home, this was also the year I came out of the closet.
Watching Private Benjamin late at night with my Mother, the only reason I ended up watching the whole thing was because I was working up courage to tell her! Eventually I did and she was relieved, relieved that I hadn't got a girl pregnant. She did tell me that when I was 14 she thought I was gay but then she changed her mind.
This was also the year my friends found out too, initially I was Bi because I still wasn't completely sure. Friends were cool with me, and I had no issues! I didn't tell all my family this year.
That was the first major thing for me in this year, I also lost my Virginity this year too, in a park with a random bloke, called Roger, lol don't regret that now, he was hot and plus I didn't hold great care for my virginity!
My most embarrasing story of my life thus far happened this year too but let's just say it involved a bloke, spunk, a nunnery, and a bar.
At the end of this year I turned 18, which is a defining age!
In non personal news, September 11th was this year which is easily the biggest news event of my generation!

All You Can Do Is....Step Back In Time!
The defining era of the Noughties or more aptly for me the Naughties!
I am bringing to life my blog to celebrate and commiserate the past 10 years.
Starting of with the year:
2000
This year I left Barstable School, in Basildon, I went to Palmers College for a month as I couldn't do the course I wanted to do. I did well in my GCSE's but not well enough! So I worked full time at Hendersons in Eastgate Shopping Centre where I continured to work for sometime.
Life was pretty nice, I was paying £200 a month to live at my mums and going out on the piss!
This year I was still in the big fat closet but that was soon to change.
Overall not a great deal happened this year, but leaving School was a big deal, quitting College was also a big deal, wasn't something I wanted to do but didn't see I had any choice really.
I often wonder where I would have been now if I had stuck College out, would I be living here? Would I have met the people I have? I doubt it.

Michael Jackson Is Dead
Those words just don't add up. Those four words just doesn't make any sense, does it?
Michael Jackson Is Dead
My mind can't seem to comprehend those words, and like MILLIONS out there I am not the only one.
It's been a while since I have written a blog, a number of reasons really, and no reason to discuss in this blog as this is my tribute to the King Of Pop!
So what can I say about MJ, that hasn't already been said by millions of fans across the world.
We are uniting against the haters, and those that just don't get it.
When I was 3 years old, maybe younger, I have my first memory of MJ!
It was the Thriller video, my Nan used to be obsessed, she has it on Beetamax! She showed me it once, and I was so frightened I hid behind the sofa, then went to bed, I used to sleep in the little room, and above the little room was a painting of a werewolf which obviously had its connection with Thriller. Then everytime I would stay at my grandparents and I got cheeky and didn't want to go to bed my Nan would just simply say "I'll put Thriller on" and that was it, I would run up the stairs as fast as my little legs would allow me too! My Nan was mean! Bless her.
At that stage of my life and for a number of years afterwards I used to be scared of Michael, petrified. I used to have two recurring nightmares with MJ in them.
First:
I was strapped to a table in a dark room, and the table was spinning, and Michael Jackson would be standing to the side of me laughing his head off. I close my eyes now and I can see it as if it was happening now. Very odd.
Second:
Again another short nightmare, and this involved being chased by Michael whilst he had a knife in his hand, I would be running continuously down the side of a canal and he would just follow, he never did catch me though.
I remember one time I had one of these nightmares and I ran down stairs when my Mum was having a party and her and her friends comforted me.
Then as I got a bit more older I learnt and found a new appreciation for MJ, Moonwalker was one of my favourite films, I used to watch it every weekend!!
I distinctly remember Bubbles from his Leave Me Alone video I believe it was. Michael Jackson had found a place in my heart without putting the fear of nightmares in me!
I remember the first allegation of Child Abuse and not really knowing what it was or anything but I knew it wasn't good.
1995 I got my very first CD player from my Mum for my Birthday/Christmas present, and I remember I got a CD with it and it was the MJ "HIStory" album, and played it to death! Every track is amazing. Earth Song No1 for 7 weeks in 1995 and at Christmas. In February 1996 he performed at The Brit Awards, how incredible, I have never forgiven Jarvis COCKer for what he did though.
In all MJ has played a massive part of my growing up, even if it is a little odd!
His music is inspirational, and there is not one person on this planet that hasn't had some effect from one of his singles if not more, I know I have.
You can love Rock music, Classical etc...you will still have a MJ song that you loved! I don't believe there is another artist on this planet that can match that!
Even Queen of Pop Madonna doesn't even come close to the power of musical genius that is Michael Jackson.
I will miss MJ massively, I can't really celebrate his life, it's all too weird and all too soon to be able to celebrate. I have listened to nothing but MJ since late Thursday night (not even Britney!), and I will continue to do so for sometime.
I will finish by saying that no matter what you thought of Michael, you cannot deny is true talent. He really is the last of our generation, there will not be and never be another figure like him on this planet to have such an influence in popular music and in people, and the things he has done for people on this planet, he wasn't sucked into the world of ego.
He had passion, commitment, good nature, ambition, and he really did want to change the world!
Michael Jackson I will never forget you. I cannot accept that you're gone.
Rest In Peace - They can't hurt you now!

The Horn
I have the horn big time today, weird, for a while now I haven't been that horny for sex, you maybe aware I recently went through a break up and it was hard and still is, and I haven't been overly horny until recently!
Maybe it's because I am hungover, maybe its because I am just a randy devil who wants hot sex right now.
Helping hand anyone? haha.
Sadly not overly confident enough to indulge in one night stands (unless pissed) or to meet guys online, but it gets boring to just have a wank!
Basically I want a sex life again...

The Press: Army vs. Police
Why is that when the Press report on the Army, very nearly almost good things, and what heroes they are etc... and when they report on Police it's nearly almost all the bad things that happen?
I am not anti Army at all, infact I have often thought about joining the Army, the guys are FIT! But what's with the blatant favouritism? lol
The Police do fantastic work, they are constantly whizzing around dealing with 999 calls, or undercover work hunting for the drug mules, or dealing with the mass of robberies that occurr, dealing with sensitive rape cases etc...
The Army is amazing, they do amazing work, they work hard and they are away from their families but let us not forget that we are in the 21st Century, these days you are not forced into the Army, like you were back in the day, it is a choice you make, exactly the same as the Police, you choose to apply to work for the Police.
My question to you all is...
Are Soldiers really heroes?
If so, are Police not heroes too?
