About Me
The first thing to say about myself is the fact that I hate writing things like this. I prefer it if people just got to know me rather than have to describe myself, but obviously thats not happening on here so ill try and write a bit.
So where to start.. November, 1987, a winter's afternoon.. A change was felt in the world, people weren't really sure what it was but everyone knew it had happened. For my parents it was an afternoon of joy as they were blessed with their first and only son. After already having 3 girls you can imagine the happiness that filled them.
In the following years I learnt about life and the world around me, it wasn't until I was about 17 that I started to appreciate this however.
I had a pretty normal childhood.. some good times, some bad times.. I've never broken any bones and its probably one of my biggest fears.
I don't think you can appreciate you life and those around you until you've been through some sort of heartbreak, whether it be someone hurting you, or losing someone close to you.. It at this point in life when you really question your surroundings and appreciate what you've got rather than depress yourself over what you haven't. This is why at 17 I feel I became happier with myself and my life. I try not to let little things get me down, as its not really worth it.
In my late teens I realised how important education was and pushed myself in all that I did, and that is why I did well at school and college and am now at a quite decent university. Im studying Film (not the most academic of subjects) but its something I enjoy, and I knew at this age, and being quite independent, I wouldn't last 3 years at uni if I didn't do something I enjoyed.
Aside from University I also DJ, which I love. It can be the most stressful thing, or the most pleasurable. Only those in a similar field can understand the feeling of a successful night. I also care a lot about my family and have a lot of time for them. I try to spend a lot of time with my nephew as hes only 1 and a bit and I want to show him life from a male standpoint, as I am probably the dominant male in his life aside from his Grandad.
Ive also got a lot of time for my girlfriend. I won't say anything cheesy here, but she knows how I feel.
One day ill be happy. I am happy.
I always think in my head about my goals and what I want to do in life and i think once I have reached my goals ill be happy, and every now and then I have the reality check that once Ive reached this set of goals there'll be a whole new set to strive for. What im getting at is that I kind of think theres not much point looking to the future to a time when you think you'll be more happy as you never know what that time is going to bring, just appreciate what you've got while you've got it and try to avoid regrets.
Whether you know me or not I hope you have learnt something from this. I have, I learnt that the term 'learnt' is used in the English language whereas the term 'learned' is prefered by Americans..
If you have any useless trivia please forward it to me..
