Today I don’t feel like doing anything…I just wanna lay in my bed…*whistles* :-) & I’m gonna!

Lazy Sunday activities:

  • Stock up on comfort foods/drinks (my choices: Cocoa, Oreo’s, crisps, Pepsi and Ice cream)
  • Surround yourself with your favourite scents like perfume or candles
  • Watch all your favorite dvd’s
  • Dress in comfy pajama’s and slippers

This instalment in the hometown glory series, focuses on our beautiful City, London…and who will be our Mayor.

Some people might be put off of voting because they are new to it, hate politics, and think this doesn’t affect them, the first two excuses i’ll allow, but that last one is a no-go!

Here’s why (watch the advert below):

 

Now granted, that was to advertise the general elections some time ago, but the point it makes remains valid – politics affects pretty much everything – so get involved & have your say! ;-)

4 reasons why it’s all your fault!

20
Apr 2012

Responsibility can suck sometimes – but sometimes stuff is just your fault. Whichever way you talk it round, make it up, or pretty it over, sometimes – you are to blame for whatever the issue is.

Unfortunately though, all too often a person caught with their hand in the cookie jar (I too thought this was an annoying cliché until once, I was actually caught pinching one of mums freshly baked cookies from the kitchen… 8-O ) wont own up!

Anyway, I thought it might be interesting to list why sometimes…you should just accept responsibility. This doesn’t refer to responsibility for anything in particular, the same points could work against anything from annoying work-days to dodgy fashion choices…

1. You’ve been in the same situation before, and the results weren’t great. You willingly get into that situation again, this time hoping for different results; and then get annoyed when you don’t get them…Your fault!

2. In a conversation (discussion/argument) you get to that point where you know you are either right or wrong, but you continue to talk/comment/respond rather than just conclude – which gets you annoyed…Your fault!

3. You asked somebody you trust’s opinion, and they gave you great advice, and then you went against it & hated the results…Your fault!

4. You went against your own gut feeling & then hated the results…Your fault!

Sometimes…it’s just you, you know?  - But cheer up, you’re only human! :-)

Hometown Glory – Part Five: Nando’s is coming to Hammersmith!

13
Apr 2012

Now I know it’s been a while since my last hometown glory post, but folks, I have big news!!! – Nando’s is coming to the ends! :-D

I just came across this bit of glorious news nosing through our local paper, The Fulham Chronicle and it seems, if all goes to plan by the end of the year, ‘smith could be hooked right up with some of the best flame grilled chicken there is in London.

…& my friends, if that ain’t hometown glory – I don’t know what is! ;-)

Gaining from Loss

10
Apr 2012

Ever lost something valuable and told someone, who then jokingly sang the infamous lyrics from Life of Brian? Infuriatingly funny, right? :-P Anyway, even though it’s an annoying cliché, it’s pretty much right on the mark.

When you lose something, you automatically gain something else (other than a bad mood) if you allow yourself to. – One of these things is perspective. You get to see things clearly, for what they are.

Unfortunately, we often only understand the importance of something until we lose it, and then annoy ourselves thinking about how we would have done things differently had we known the future outcome. How much nicer you would have been to your colleague today about that huge email error (or something), had you known he was going through a messy divorce, how much more sleep you would have gotten rather than staying up to watch the tele, had you known that studying would require you to be sleep deprived for years on end…

…This questionable little video illustrates that not everybody is affected positively by the whole ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda’ idea:

 

8-O However, I’m sure this doesn’t apply to you…and on a more serious note, have you ever gained from loss?

Respect is not a gift…

05
Apr 2012

People chime on about how they want to be respected all time time…and too right, they should be.
However – never forget, that whilst no-one is better than you,  you aren’t better than anyone either.

Now, I won’t pretend the world is perfect and that we live in an era of mutual respect and love – Aretha did’t make that song for no reason! :-P – Yet, respect is not a gift, it must be earned.

This obviously doesn’t mean you should be treated like dirt until you move the earth, or discover life on another planet, but means, in my opinion, that you should treat anyone you meet with respect, and then expect to receive it in return.

It starts with you…
