"The best nights are those that are unplanned ..."

So it's Thursday afternoon and I get a ping from one of my darling wives asking what I was on. 2 hours later she was on the coach to Manchester. The day before, I brought home 3 bottles of Rose and a mac Henny so I knew the night was going to be eventful :) When me and Md get together it's a madness anyway but with alcohol involved, I feel sorry for anyone around us. We always say to each other, the spontaneous nights are always the best, and once again we were proven right (y)

Since September, when I moved away for uni, my life became even crazier than before. There's been incredible highs and a few lows, I've lost friends and gained even more
but you know what I don't regret a single moment.

Another one to add to the collection...


I am fully in love with my new philtrum piercing :) :)

I was thinking about it for way too long, so yesterday when I woke up, I made it happen.
The pain was immense compared to my labret (which I had numbed) but it was oh so worth it.



Piercings are such an addictive thing for me and I'm not ashamed. I don't get them to impress anyone else, they're for me. I think this will probably be the last facial one, but there's plenty more room in my ears :)

What is free will?

Ok so it's Valentines day and I have just backed a bottle of Pineot Grigio in approximately 30 minutes. 
Usually when the drink is flowing, this can lead to discussion in the CC16 household. 

It started with some talk of Religion when my housemate stated the majority of it was "organised faith" and some other comments I didn't agree with.
I myself was brought up in a Christian household, but as time went on and I started to see things for myself, stuff I had been told previously was now being questioned.

From a young age I was taught we were all put on this earth with free will, but is it possible to have free will when so many things around us in today's world influence us subconsciously and consciously? 
My argument was that everyone has free will. In my eyes free will is the essence of being able make your own choices, be them right or wrong. No one, but yourself can control your body or make you perform actions that you don't want to perform. 
Ben's argument (my housemate): no one has free will, and this is because as we grow up, our surroundings, social lifes etc are forever influencing our trains of thought and actions.

At the end of the day, I am a very stubborn person, and I refuse to change my argument. Although at the same time it was nice to hear somebody elses thoughts on the issue.The discussion went on for way too long for me to go into detail about every point, but Ben's argument definately did get my brain ticking.

Exit Through The Gift Shop



As part of some work for uni, I've just watched the film/documentary 'Exit through the gift shop' directed by street artist Banksy.
If you're interested in your grafitti/street art I highly recommend you watch this. 

Gives you a good insight into this new form of art, whilst being able to take a journey with artists such as, Banksy, Mr Brainwash and Shepard Fairey



After months of contemplation, I have finally created a blog *waits for applause*

Every minute of every day, crazy ideas, theories, and all that other good stuff confusingly runs around in my head, so in order to protect my sanity why not share it with you all :)

Sooo I guess this is my first post, I am now officially a blogger.

Ciao, Auf Wiedersehen, Au Revoir, Adios yeah yeah yeah
