Hey there all, first of all Happy New year, I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas, and enjoyed your new years celebrations, and I hope you got everything you wanted this Christmas!

Sorry I haven’t written here in a while, I was away for xmas, and dial-up connections are not the best when it comes to maintaining things like this, and then since I have got back to the UK I have been very busy, but now I am settled I can get back to keeping you all up to date with my thoughts.

Oh by the way, those of you who have registered at my site, and also those of you I talk to often online, or who I have the e-mail address of, should have received a Christmas Greeting that I had designed from scratch, if you didn’t get it, please let me know and I will send it to you again, but be aware it may have been caught by your SPAM filter so check your junk mail inbox first.

So it’s come that time of the year, the sometimes dreaded Christmas Parties, the Christmas shopping rush, Carolers left, right and center, spending more money than you have… But yet, somehow its a time of year we all look forward to, maybe because of the days we get off work, maybe because its the main time of the year you get to spend with family… Or realistically its the time of year you can over drink and over eat and not feel guilty about it hehe

So I’ve decided to get into the festive spirit and do a special Christmas post on my blog with a special Christmas caption image of course Christmas for me, is a time of year I get to spend with family, being mostly Greek by blood, family is very important for me, but I think that’s the same for a lot of people during this time of year…

I’ll be heading off on my Christmas Holidays on the 22nd, where I’ll be spending Christmas and new years with my father and my sister, unfortunately my brother couldn’t get the time off work, so it’ll just be my sister and my dad. But at least I’ll be with family, otherwise I may have ended up in Manchester alone this Christmas, and I’m sure that woulda been kinda sad lol

You know there are always times when in your head there’ll be an ocean of questions, and I guess today is one of those days for me, they are a mixed variety of questions, some more fundamental than others, but nonetheless they are there.

So how do I deal with them? I guess I could just ignore them, I guess I could tackle them head on, but I think its best to meet it half way between those two. You see if you ignore them completely, they wont be gone they will linger and keep digging at you until you can’t take it anymore, yet if you try and tackle them all at once they may overwhelm you, so its best to go for the middle, and tackle the questions at the forefront of your mind.

“I don’t think it’s fair to point the finger at Sir Alex, the responsibility lies with the team as the whole, Sir Alex can only do so much, but its down to the players to show the grit and determination on the pitch to carry on through adversity.”

So the first of the group of questions are not vitally important to my life, but nonetheless they are there, being a (Manchester) United supporter, serious questions are beginning to be asked by the media and football’s highest standing voices, but who do you exactly blame?

So what happens when someone who you are really close to begins to change their minds about the way the way they feel for you? I guess it all depends on the person they are that determines how they react to the change in feelings…

Some of them may take the right root and explain how they feel and to talk it through with you so that you may understand what’s going on in their head, another option for them to take would be just to end the relationship without explaining why… The last option is one that is used normally because they don’t wish to hurt your feelings, and are too worried of your reaction if they were to talk it through with you…

This option believe it or not, is quite commonly the root taken, its a bit like being phased out, when once you would have been worth finding time for, it becomes more common that they are too “busy” to find that time… And if you don’t live near each other the communication between yourselves will being to deteriorate and when they do communicate they will talk to you different or cut the conversation short one way or another…

In today’s world there are challenges that lie in front of us, times that arise, that we will have to make certain decisions… But sometimes you may be asked to do something that may not seem “right” to you, but yet the person who is asking you to do it is really relying on you to do it for them…

So how do you react? You have morals that say you wouldn’t ever do something like that… So the question should be, why should you go against your morals? I truly believe you shouldn’t, and someone who is a good friend would NEVER ask you to do that either…

“The moment you start going against your morals is the moment you start to lose the person you are…”

You see your morals form the ground level on the person you are, your morals drive you through life and the decisions you make…The moment you start going against your morals is the moment you start to lose the person you are… I know there are a lot of pressures in this world that may influence the decisions you make, like popularity, impression and peer pressure but don’t let them forget about your morals…

In today’s world, we all live, lives of expectation not only in the goals we set ourselves, but of social standards and ways of thinking…

I guess the main aspect of this is social acceptability, and the attitude and persona you adapt to, just so that you can fit in… Personally I do not believe in changing yourself to suit others, but in today’s age and society there are quite a majority that do…

But the pressures you can put yourselves under in trying to achieve this “acceptability” is quite astonishing at times, and it proves to be the source of depression and in some cases conditions such as bulimia which are know to source closely from the pressures of today’s society.

Over the last few weeks I have been hearing many things about audioscrobbler and Last.fm so I thought I’d sign up to it and try it out myself…

Audioscrobbler is a huge online music database which records on an online database what tracks your listen to using your favourite media player and add statistics and so on to a personal profile just for you, which shows your listening habits…

Now having given in to the latest internet “fad”, it made me think about why the music industry does so well… It doesn’t take a genius to realize sometimes it is just the irresistible chorus, and the beat that makes you start to dance or tap your foot. Depending on the kind of listener you are that may be all there is to it…

First off, sorry for the delay in my next post, on Saturday I had to totally rebuild my PC to fix a motherboard defect… So I spent most of the day doing that… Great fun… Not! But am back so w00t.

If you haven’t realized by now by the way, all the pictures I have used so far in my blog are caption images I have created specially for this blog to match the thoughts I depict here, so I hope you enjoy that part of the blog as well…

So today’s blog, what to talk about? Well the last few blogs have been words, I guess, of advice for problems I have faced in the past, that maybe someone on the day has inspired me to write about, or simply because it lurks at the back of my mind…

Today I deal with my own thoughts, my own state of mind… I guess in some ways I am a worrier, not that I show it much, but it seems it’s part of my nature… Possibly because I care too much? But why try and throttle who I am? I guess you could say it protects me from hurt better, but I’ve tried it and I just don’t feel comfortable doing so… So, I continue to care, no matter what caring comes packaged with…

Of late I’ve felt a bit like I’ve been burning the candle at both ends, there are a lot of “projects” I want to work on but its just a matter of finding the time… There is so much I wish to achieve in life, and yet in perspective not that much time to do it…

In today’s society it seems that if you want to go anywhere there is only one route to take and that’s the long road of progression. Things in life don’t come easy and you have to work for them, sometimes harder than normal… Depending on your personality and mentality, that can be a hell of a lot easier for some rather than others…

Some of the decisions you find yourself making could prove to be very painful decisions to make, but they need to be done to progress down that road ahead of you in life. You have to keep a positive view on things, because if you don’t you could find yourself loosing your determination and your will to carry on…

Jealousy… It’s one of those things that none of us enjoy feeling, but yet is an emotion that we all feel… Some are better hiding it than others… But what is the best way to deal with it?

You see, in some cases a bit of jealousy shown, can make your partner feel more loved… But then again too much and its suffocating, then again none shown at all could be interpreted that you don’t care at all…

So your in a bit of a predicament, no one likes to be suffocated by their partner’s jealousy, so how much do you show? You don’t want them to think you don’t care…

“jealousy is a very ugly emotion, but then again pent it all up inside and you could find yourself loosing it completely…”

The way I see it, is that jealousy is a very ugly emotion, but then again pent it all up inside and you could find yourself loosing it completely… So its good to let it out bit by bit, let your partner know you do actually care at the same time, and you may find you get the best of both worlds…
