Cee-Lo - Fuck You

This song is everything, I love the anger, the bitterness, it's everything. And plus his voice suits mine, so I sound amaze when I sing along to it, we are the same vocal type I think. Not sure WHAT we are, but what ever he IS, I am :)

And I lo0ve the bridge, the bridge is my life.

I haven't done a post in so long! So so busy! I do write down posts that are forthcoming, so yeah. Some in the pipeline is what we could say.

Fight at the US OPEN!

Such a funny video!!

Dear Summer, Thanks for Nothing.

Today was basically the first day of school, so the last day of the summer. I sat in the common room looking around, and concluded that in the last few weeks most people have been 'involved' in someone in some way, some girls had fucked literally half the boys in that room; this all made me think about summer.

I've always been so envious of foreign schools with 3 month long summer holidays, because that's the natural reaction. On reflection though, we're all the same, in the last quarter of however long we have we are miserably bored and on the whole fed up with the summer holidays. However, this could be a swooping generalisation as the weather during the summer holidays in places like Italy and the US, is actually what summer's meant to be. Here on the other hand, after mid-august we get rain and it doesn't get above 20 degrees, like EVER!

This was meant to be THE summer though, there's so much hype with this specific holiday after GCSEs. This 10 week holiday, felt no longer than the 6 week ones, but at the beginning for some reason I thought time would be something abundant in value, so much so that during the first weeks I regularly wasted days just sitting about doing nothing. But this wasn't the plan at the beginning, I remember me saying I was going to learn a maths unit, practise chinese, do some charity work, do some work experience and invent the time machines - phineas and ferb make all this look so darnnn easy! I'm not even going to go into the detail of just HOW badly I've failed, one thing I'm happy with is that I went on holiday and I read a lot. I tried to get some charity work, but no refugees showed up, tried to work in 2 different retirement homes and in a charity shop - but for some reasons ALL THE MANAGERS WERE ON HOLIDAY.

But enough of my failures, my biggest disappointment is that I didn't play enough tennis. Normally in summer I play every day, but for some reason this holiday saw literally no action.

So now, I'm probably more excited for school, than I am for the next summer holidays. I actually miss exams and revising and all that, I got used to all that jazz. It's going to be a buzz-kill just going back to lessons but I'll live. I hope your summer was better, mine wasn't BAD, I did go to Italy.  But all the out of school stuff I wanted to do was to look better for Uni especially that special  university and her friend, but recently I'm getting the impression they don't really care that much If i change some old people's nappies for a week, so I think I'll stay put?

Oh and my 'personal vent'  wasn't very well received (well it was, that was the problem), I promise it wasn't about anyone specific, I lie, but still!

Personal Vent

No I'm not in love with you, you conceited douchbag. Who the fuck do you think you are, like seriously? TALK TO ME next time, you actual retard. Literally go die. Remind me never even to look at you again, in case you get the wrong idea. And, I don't remember saying any of that shit to you, so please, PLEASE don't start making shit up. I'm probably not even that angry, I just need some drama in my life. And for the record, that night you pulled me over and asked me to talk, SO fuck you. Saying all this I hope you don't read it.

Anyways, keep my name off your lips your arrogant arsehole.

Beyonce and Lauryn Hill!

Bee was watching her set in NYC, quality of pic is shit, but still!

Start from 2:53, you'll see Mary J Blige, Beyonce and Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Martin Lawrence and JAY-Z in that order.

Summer Reads

It's basically over, never felt like it started. We're in Winter now to be honest, how depressing. It hasn't even been over 25 degrees in absolute WEEKS, so really can't call it Summer. I've had a book in my hand from the very first day till probably the very last day. Here's what I've been reading.

Info - First published in 1973, Small Is Beautiful brought Schumacher's critiques of Western economics to a wider audience during the 1973 energy crisis and emergence of globalization. The Times Literary Supplement ranked Small Is Beautiful among the 100 most influential books published since World War II. A further edition with commentaries was published in 1999.

Some very interesting chapters in this book, it always amazes me how people can formulate such concise and detailed studies. Some really innovative ideas in the book, clearly well ahead of his time. However, some of this book is a bit too 'preachy' and I'll probably appreciate it more when I read it a few years from now. I'm an Economics boff, so have to read a lot of these things.

Info - This concise, accessible introduction provides an analytical narrative of the main events and developments in Soviet Russia between 1917 and 1936. It examines the impact of the revolution on society as a whole--on different classes, ethnic groups, the army, men and women, youth.

After exams I was still considering whether or not doing History was a good idea, more to the point, I didn't really think studying Russia would be interesting. After reading this book, I can't wait for History next year. It's a far more complex part of history than I appreciated. Also, I'll be ahead of the game ;)

Pretty self-explanatory, I just found out I read the 'out-dated' version and there is an updated version out there! How annoying! Still a very good read, and I think reading about Socialism or reading work from Socialist Writers is the best way to learn about our current situation. This book is almost 'aggressive' yet at it's heart remains diplomatic. I still have some chapters left to read but I wanted to move on to Russia again, so I'll have to come back to this one.  The most interesting thing about the book is what he has to say about the 'Black Woman' who in his eyes suffers the most oppression in a capitalist patriarchal and racist America. (Of the 1980s). Of course this was pre-Obama, but that doesn't really change much. 

The author traces the evolution of the Soviet political system from its origins in 1917 to the present day. He shows how power has rarely been devolved outside a particularly tightly-knit ruling elite. Special emphasis is placed on the experience of the peasantry, urban workers and professionals.

I've never been 'glued' to a book like this before, he makes everything really interesting and goes into far more detail than the book I read about the revolution. I'm not reading all of this, just select chapters but it's a nice read.

Italy 2010 - In Pictures

This picture was taken after we got of the plane in Milano Malpensa Airport, it was on the bus that takes you to the main building of the airport. The flight was so quick, and I always forget I'm scared of flying till I'm actually taking off; when I'm flying and on the ground I totally think I love it - but i was genuinely nervy when we were taking off. I love what I'm wearing, that's one thing (out of many)I loved about the holiday, I dressed so well during the 10 days, I did have some dud days, but on the whole A+ for sure.  We were so excited here!

We got a coach from the Airport to the train station, which lasted like 50 minutes for some stupid reason. This meant that we missed the last train to Modena (where we were staying) it was like midnight and we had to scramble to find a hotel. I say that but there were like 5 hotels outside the central station, we just picked the first we found. This was taken in our room, the view outside the window was so good. I'd never been that excited to be in a hotel room! However one bad moment going into the hotel was that one drunk hobo said to us 'Go Back to Africa' I was like 'woah'. Now It's sinked in, I'm more surprised that he could even speak English! Most people there couldn't which is completely backward I felt, but that drunk abusive and ignorant hobo could, how does that work? Good for him though!

This was at the hotel's restaurant, then we thought finding a Ristorante-Pizzeria was really unique but it turns out it's even worse than 'FISH'N'CIP' places in England, there are 5 pizzerias for each sq mile! This one was run by chinese people, who didn't speak English, so I had to speak chinese to them. The funniest thing was that as soon as my mum saw they were chinese, she started asking for special fried rice and noodles! Which we just CRACKED up at!

The view from outside the flat we stayed at. So nice! The flat was SO spacious, when you think flats in England you think of boxes, but this was a 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom flat! I swear it was even bigger than most HOUSES in England. 

The cutest baby in the world, my little cousin! We stayed with his mum and dad! His name's Destiny, he's one! Literally the best baby ever, I miss him so much!

Buff picture of me.

A wedding we went to, there were so many black people in the town! Quite surprised, some parts of Italy are literally Africa apparently! I heard more Igbo (nigerian language) than I did Italian I think! Madness!

The town's monday market, so busy! And again so many black people! Found some nice shoes there.

From left to right - My uncle Mike, My mum, My aunty Juliet and her son Destiny.

Literally so many nice buildings there! And the churches were AMAZING, we went in one to take pictures, and suddenly everyone looked at us like WTF, so we just acted like we were praying and left ! 

Everyone rides bikes over there, so we thought we'd join in. I love all the colours I'm wearing! HA! In this particular bike ride, i saw a huge dog throw up, I was traumatised.

Left is my sister with her very attention-grabbing hair. I want to post more pictures of my cutie cousin, but perverts are about, and my sister said I ought not to!

Some classic sightseeing in the main town. This was some ancient castle, the annoying thing about this trip was that everything was closed and everyone was on holiday somewhere! I couldn't get over how lazy Italians were! It was like this all over the country, like seriously could never imagine that, even in England;s smallest towns. We could only go in certain parts of the castle, but still managed some fit pictures.

Made a friend, called him Joe.

As well as Pizzeria's every sq-mile had a Gelateria (Ice-cream parlour) and MY GOD was it good! The food was amazing too, just to say, Pizzas and Pasta and ish were buff! But  the ice-cream takes the cake (no pun intended, or indeed achieved) Came back to England and found Italian-style ice-cream, just the fact that it's at extortionately high prices and the quality would most probably be questionable. 

After many days of searching we found our first clay court! I was so excited! Next time I go there, I'll definitely sign up and play! Never seen a clay court in the flesh, had to grope it and all that. Quite exciting, for me at least!

Some friends we made there, sisters Jessica and Mary. The one on the left wants to do Economics, like me, so spent some time lecturing her about what she needs to do and that. This was at Destiny's birthday party, which we had to basically run and organise.

My outfit, my oh my. Middle Guy is Junior, another nigerian, cool guy. 

On the last day, before we got the train to the airport.

Such a good 10 days, and after I've been to Paris and Seattle, Italy is next on my list for sure! That may not sound like much, but it is! I loved it!
