You think that because you are on a road, that it’s the only way you can go, and the b-roads leading off from it are not options for you.

But one of those b-roads takes you to a place that makes you happy, where you learn, and travel, and grow. The circumstances might not be perfect, but they are at least challenging, and hey, the place you started will always be there to go back too.

The road you are taking leads to one place. The scenery all around is mundane, boring, grey. But you have taken the decision that takes you on that road, and you have already crashed the car once trying to turn off at the wrong exit. Leaving the road now would probably be quite lonely, and would more than likely involve more than just a crash along the way, this time others may be hurt too.

So you are stuck on the road. Nothing around is keeping you going, and the destination is still a little fuzzy. But you have chosen that road now and you have no choice.

In the distance, can you see thunder and lightening? Strange, that when you look to the side it seems to be quite sunny. Almost like something is telling you something deep down. The road leading to the sun looks like it could be fun.

But you have chosen that road, and headed for the storm you are. The car might get a little battered along the way, but you will be ok inside it. And a car can be fixed can’t it.

Soon it will be time to weather the storm. So brace yourself.

Look at this for a stunning piece of photography.

It is the lunar eclipse in case you are all wondering if it was just a piece of chalk on a blackboard.

Our neighbours came out too, we didnt talk to them, even though I was tempted to say "Im glad we werent the only geeks", but I thought they might not laugh. They don't seem to be the kinda people that would.

We decided that when it (the moon) was fully covered by the shadow it looked like you could reach out and grab it. Very bizarre. It looked like a big grey static balloon, and because we stared at it for so long it started to look like a big meteor coming towards us.

So. This week. Work. Im not aloud to socialise and thats final. I can't pretend I'm doing work to my tutors anymore, its getting a bit ridic.

Oh oh. I met up with my friend Joe who was on Shipwrecked on Friday. It has put me off ever doing reality TV. DON'T DO IT KIDS. People just coming up to you, talking about you while you're walking through Boots, me getting asked if I was his boyfriend by some girls on a bus. Queer. Very queer.

10 things to do when you have no money...

1. Start a blog
2. Drink tea
3. Sit on the internet for hours at a time pressing the refresh button hoping that a new picture comment will come through on your myspace
4. Bathe. But without bubble bath because obviously, that costs
5. Listen to the leaked Sophie Ellis Bextor tracks over and over until your housemates' ears bleed
6. Sleep
7. Shout, cry, whinge and moan about the lack of money
8. Cut your own hair
9. Pretend your tidying your room when in actual fact you are trying to find a t-shirt that doesn't smell
and 10. Read the free Lidl things that come through the post with their latest bargains on.

But never, NEVER EVER EVER, do the copious amounts of work that is due in so you can complete your degree. Just don't. Don't even open your uni bag.

Uni fucking sucks ass. As my friend Harriet put it on facebook. BAMMJ, more like BUMMJ if you ask me.

In the beginning...

There was a boy. He was 21, and had run out of ambition. So he thought 'I know, lets set up a blog and inform the world of the things I think they need to know'

And so he set up that blog. And he saw that it was good.

From that point on he filled the blog with anecdotes, quips, stories and pictures, and he saw again, that it was good.
