Update...

WOW!!!!! I haven't updated this thing since August - impressive!!!

So what's been happening I hear you say? Jack shit!! The usual Saturday nights out..expensive! Chilling round town as there hasn't been much else to do. Met a couple of people that actually are just a waste of space/oxygen thieves/coffin dodgers!!

What else?? End of cricket season!! The weekends have just added to the boredom...untill I GOT A JOB :D haha wooop!! Driving the old Asda van round - it pays!!

Other than that, nowt else to say.

Peace out.

Wherever you will go

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall yeah fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone could you make it on your own.

CHORUS:
If I could, then I would
I'd go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I'd go wherever you will go

And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To-wards you, to guide you, through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall yeah fall upon us all
Well then I hope there's someone out there
who can bring me back to you


CHORUS
If I could, then I would
I'd go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I'd go wherever you will go

Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind I'll stay with you for all of time

CHORUS
If I could, then I would
I'd go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I'd go wherever you will go

If I could turn back time
I'd go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'd go wherever you will go
I'd go wherever you will go

Grandad..

2 years has passed already and I can't believe how quickly it has gone. So much has happened in that time that I wish you were around to see, but it was just never meant to be. Things have chanced so much some things for good, some for bad, either way its not going to make me forget just how much I miss you, and will never forget you!

Great North Walk

Well stage 1 of the Great North series was completed on Sunday :) was quite a nice little walk lol, shame it was the hottest day of the year and 10 miles long, including climbing Roseberry Topping, of which Karl was fucked before we got there and what was only 3 miles in haha!! Me and Simon (my bro) were waiting for about 10 mins at the top for him as he almost passed out on the way up lol!

That was pretty much the only eventful part of the day, apart from a few rather nice looking ladies that were participating haha! And England lost the football so yeah pretty crap to say the least!

I was pretty pleased with my little effort..even surprised myself that I did it, as it meant being up at 7 on a Sunday morning and not going out Saturday night - top effort!

I Believe I Can Fly

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[1]
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, cause I believe in me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

You Are Not Alone

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone...

Can't Stop Loving You..

So you're leaving in the morning on the early train
I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
Got your ticket
Got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
I could say that's the way it goes
And I could pretend and you won't know
That I was lying

Cause I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I?

We took a taxi to the station, not a word was said
And I saw you walk across the road
For maybe the last time I don't know
Feeling humble
I heard a rumble
On the railway track
And when I hear that whistle blow
I'll walk away and you won't know
That I'll be crying

Cause I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I?

Even try I'll always be here by your side
Why, why, why I never wanted to say goodbye
Why even try .I'm always here if you change, change your mind

So you 're leaving in the morning on the early train
I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
But that would be lying

Cause I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I even try?

May

So the end of another month... what's happened??

Well after being told by my lovely friend Emma that i don't blog enough, im writing some random shit to keep her amused :) lol! so what has actually happened in May thats worth talking about?

Not a riiight lot really. Finished uni for good on the 6th...bringing to an end 3 years of fun, alcohol, randomness, stress, pressure, miserableness (if thats a word) happiness, love (sort of) pain (a & e springs to mind lol) and other random feelings that i have experienced at uni. still hasn't quite sunk in that i actually have to get a job now, otherwise im gonna end up being a bum for the rest of my life lol!!

I have met one or two new pals :) probably losing one or two as well..just shows who really does value you in their life and who doesn't.

I have also managed to get back into the habit of being lewis' personal bank account!! clearly 7 months in Australia has done him no good on the old money front, and his current debt stands at 4 crates of beer :) haha!

May has also seen lots more cricket, lots more nights out including Elaine and Amy's joint 21st in Leeds :) nights out with the cricket club boys, as well as my nearest and dearest..even if one or two of them are doing my nut in!! lol.

So yeah, that's all i can remember atm lol..more will probably pop into my head later! been a strange old month!

Quote of the month - "don't fear tomorrow or regret the past, live for what's now and never look back"

Another day gone

Well another day has gone where I have yet again done NOTHING :( ! Ok so when it comes tom summer time, I have a fair bit to do in the evenings, because if im not playing cricket im either coaching it or training..so evenings aren't so bad. just the daytime is soo dull and boring!!!

I think i kind of underestimated how hard it was to find a job..hence why i dont have one lol (granted things aint gonna change in a day) but still...lol!! i just dont know..words cant describe how i feel right now..apart from tired haha, as it is 12.05am! but..meh just gotta keep plodding along i guess :)

Another update...

Just thought I would give a quick update on what's been happening in my life recently..not sure how many people read this or even care but i'm going to say anyway!! :)

Obviously I have now finished uni (just waiting for a few results) which means that I am now in the biig wide world...and unemployed! I need to get a job soon if I am to make it to Mr Lee Murdoch's wedding over in Australia in March...which will be amazing!! Although the search isn't going too well at the minute.

Having no job means I have nothing to do during the day, apart from job hunt...could be a good time to get out and about I guess lol, would freshen up my mind anyway.

Cricket isn't going toooo badly at the minute. I'm determined to beat Mr Murdoch's 946 runs that he scored last year..270 (including 2 hundreds) in 5 matches is very good for me haha, so i'm on the way with that one!!

The great north series...HAHA! Can't exactly say I have been preparing well for any event so far, although how hard can walking be?!?!

Apart from that everything else is pretty much the same...still bored, still single, still pissing people off which is totally unintentional!! I guess I am just an attention seeker at times..well most of the time tbh :/ it's what makes me..me! (probably where im going wrong tbh).

Anyway that's the update at the moment. Thanks for reading x

Bored.com

Not having anything to do all day is THEE most shittest thing ever! Everyday until someone decides to give me a job is going to be the same...get up, do nothing, go bed.

Ideas of how to waste my life away would be muchly appreciated lol :)

wow!!!

it has just occurred to me that not only was last Thursday the end of an era for university, but also for my 17 years of education :O !! wowy wowow! life really does start to get serious now...no more acting childish and not having a care in the world.......................help :) lol!!

Sooooo...

the end of an era...3 years of university has gone surprisingly quickly, and yes it has meant that I have been moaning and even more grumpy than usual =] lol! but there are so many memories from the last 3 years that I will never forget, and some that I will dread being reminded about!!!

I'm going to miss all the random crazy nights out, all the banter, NOT the work though coz that was actually crap! but im also going to miss having my own place and the freedom to do what I want, when I want (cant do that when living with the rents!!)

so whats next? well I have some cricket coaching organised over the summer for Yorkshire CCC, so will give that a try as I'm not entirely sure if coaching is what I want to do at this stage. job hunting is required over the next few weeks/months as I now have no student loan to rely on :(

as for everything else...pretty much same old really. nothing has really changed in my 21 (and a half) years of life..apart from the world of course lol, but u know what I mean! just going with the flow like usual :)

anyway I suppose I should start getting sorted for this stupid Great North crap that I have been roped into, fun times eh?!

thanks for reading such drivel :) byeee x

Update....

Just a cheeky update with whats been going on lately...been busy with uni work the last few weeks, just got a week left (or 4 free days) to get my dissertation finished and printed and bounded or whatever we have to do aha! that means come next thursday I will no longer be a student!! on the plus side it means I will have looads of time to DO WHAT I WANT!!! :D

training for the Great North series will begin a week on monday (10th May)..thats gonna be ehh fun! At least it will be nice to see young lewis again who gets back from Australia sometime tonight!

So yehh thats it really, just plodding on through shit on my own lol.

Laters x

Cricket......

So the first weekend of the new season is over, and my god I am sore!! 12 overs of bowling is tough, not to mention the 40 overs of wicket keeping on Sunday :/ and despite two defeats (but 3 points gained) it wasnt such a bad weekend :) at least the sun was out..and I got burnt on my nose lol.

Looking forward to actually scoring some runs this weekend (as it would make a change)!!

Follow...

Please follow these two blogs..there the guys that are taking on the Great North Series with me so it would be nice to keep up to date with what there doing too :D

Picture

and yes, I do need a better pic of me lol...

So...I got a blog haha!

After much consideration, I decided to get a wee blog and chat some random shit like I usually do!! Although this was inspired by the fact that myself and a couple of pals (Lewis Mallinson and Karl Monger) are participating in the Great North Walk, Swim and Run in the next 3 years, starting with the walk on the 27th June 2010. Just thought it would be fun to keep a record of how the training is going and having a moan about how hard it is lol! Although the training wont start until Lewis gets his arse back from Australia at the end of April :) so yeah here we go lol!!
