We Could Be Heroes, Just For One Day.

Recently I went to the cinema to see Lone Survivor starring Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch and Ben Foster. Usually before going to see a film I research it or at least watch the trailer, with this film on the other hand, I did not, so going into the theatre I had no clue what I was going to see. To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement, as Lone Survivor is now in...

That's The Thing About Pain, It Demands To Be Felt.

Recently in my English class at school, we read a blog post a man wrote about his father who had recently passed away. We then had to write an emotional piece on someone we know or knew. I wrote mine about my Dad and I might post it here someday.But that's not why I'm telling you about the class. I'm telling you because a girl in my class wrote her piece about her Granddad and a week on I still can't...

Let's Catch Up, Shall We?

I haven't posted on this blog for quite some time now and for that, my deepest apologies. I've just been so uninspired and posting anything would have been a half hearted attempt. I'm currently preparing to enter into my final year of secondary school, which is extremely daunting and nerve racking. At the same time as being very nervous, I am also very excited, the end is almost here, after fourteen...

Life Is But A Dream.

I've just finished watching Béyonce's latest documentary, Life Is But A Dream. I have so much respect for this woman and her outlook and opinions on life, I admire her as not just an incredible artist with a God given talent but also a human. Watching this has just strengthened my respect and admiration. It's very touching to see her stripped back, talking about her emotions and thoughts quietly,...

Ben Howard, What A Beautiful Man.

I can't even remember how I stumbled across him, it was so long ago. But I do know that ever since then, I've been utterly obsessed with his sea like voice, it so velvety smooth with grains of salt in it and it's just pure heaven. I honestly think I've watched ever video he's ever been in on YouTube, from covers to acoustic sets. I watched him doing the festival circuit on my tv and I cried a bit...

Les Misérables.

Last night, I went to see Les Misérables with most of the cast of West Side Story. I've never really looked into it before, so I didn't know the plot, just that it was set in Revolutionary France. I didn't have any expectations for it, as I had never seen the stage version and had nothing to compare it to, but even if I could of had expectations, they all would have been surpassed. Saying this...

The Meaning Behind My URL.

I'm just procrastinating tonight, I should be studying but oh well. So, the story behind "Happiness is my aim", is that one day about a month ago, in Religion, we were learning about the parable "Who Moved My Cheese". It was a bit boring but then our teacher gave us question to "reflect" on the story. The basic plot is there's this cheese that the mice and little people have and it represents their...

Four More Years.

I never doubted you Obama. I think when it was announced, the whole world breathed a collective sigh of relief. I didn't pay too much attention to the campaigns, just the general ideas of both sides, and the fact that Romney was even elected to run for President astounded me. He was so totally against everything that's good for a country, good for people.  For a while it seemed...
