For as long as i remember I've been the chameleon - the one who bounced from groups of acquaintances with no concrete friendship. I've had the world wind friendship where I've been friends with 1 person lived life to the full then some how or another it would fizzle out to barely a glance in the street. I have very much been the happy dog to society,wagging my tail and eyes full of excitement and loyalty but its seems to have got me nowhere in the friendship department. Now 21 with a young child living on my own terms I'm not much further along in life if anything i would say i have less people i would consider friends but merely people i know. The problem i have is a lot of people force friendship especially if your from a small town,rather than finding people who are like minded and have the same interest.More time people will result to people they've known over the years with forced basis. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong? I don't see the point in trying to fit in anymore
But have i decided this too late in the cycle?

My brother The Devil is a captivating film which tells the story of a gang member who struggles to hide his sexuality as well as being a good role model to his younger brother. Set in the urban backdrop of London's brixton this films covers a new side that no other urban film has. Whilst your average Urban film consists of gang crime, drugs, and struggle M.B.T.D has a very refreshing approach . For instance a different minority has been introduced as the main family of this film are Egyptian which is very refreshing . Although the urban basics are understandably sourced through the film Sally El Hosaini has done a brilliant job of incorporating homosexuality in such a raw setting. This is a must see.
The world of feeling is unpredictable, confusing, and hard to control.
That is the nature of feeling. . . . Some people are fortunate enough to
grow up in families that teach that it is all right to experience feelings
and tell the truth about them. Many families — perhaps most — teach their
children strategies that become problems for us later.
-- GAY AND KATHLYN HENDRICKS,
From as early as being 4 years old i have been emotionally suppressed. Both parents have been religious but whilst they had been drumming the fear of god into my innocent brain they weren't so innocent of ''practicing Catholics'' themselves. Yeah they went to church but dad liked to sniff coke and gamble and mum being very young and from a dysfunctional broken family herself was more interested in going out and being the interest of whatever hot guy was around at the time.
But apart from religion i grew up with a unrealistic look on society don't get me wrong i have some very good memories but their not necessarily that great, their just memories Ive made more attractive to my adult mind than they actually were. I can remember exactly the day my life went from being jaded and esthetically pleasing , it was 14/2/2000 exactly a week after my grandad died . And that was it - that's when i started to become emotionally detached . Gone were the days of being the spoilt grand daughter with a cheeky attitude and a unrealistic view on every human around me. A few years later when i became a young adult was when i became the chief babysitter for my sisters, cleaner, lack of encouragement with no routine to my life whatsoever. So what im saying is, has emotional suppression and lack of life skills set me up for failure? They say you make all your mistakes with your first child - is that the case was i the prototype because i was the first child? Either way the older ive got the harder and more resentful i am about the lack of things required for the beginning of a child's life. I never felt like i wasn't loved or cared for before the ages of 15 but now i feel angry and damn right robbed of a chance. Luckily im not the sort that will turn to heroin or prostitution... THANK GOD, well not really.
After 4 months of being down and out i decided that its time for me to teach myself about myself. My problem has been like i have said before that I'm not really sure who i am anymore - a lose of identity. I'm one of those people that can shell out bullet proof advice for every man and his dog without judgement but refuse to take any advise from others, usually because its half hearten bullshit that people reiterate to any one of there friends or family members in a time of need. So Ive decided to fix the problem myself, be my own teacher..... teach myself about myself.

Until you do right by me everything you think about is gonna crumble!
“Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect -and I don't live to be- but before you start pointing fingers... make sure you hands are clean!”
Set in the near future, Frank, a retired cat burglar, has two grown kids
who are concerned he can no longer live alone. They are tempted to
place him in a nursing home until Frank's son chooses a different
option: against the old man's wishes, he buys Frank a walking, talking
humanoid robot programmed to improve his physical and mental health.
What follows is an often hilarious and somewhat heartbreaking story
about finding friends and family in the most unexpected places.
I watched this film a few days ago. Worth a watch but not life changing! Solid story with inevitable ending... a few ''funnies' but was more of a drama than anything else. Glad i didn't pay to watch it that's for sure.
Did this blow your mind like it blew mine? I bet it did!

When a Kyrgyz man decides to marry, he often abducts the woman he has
chosen. Typically, he and several friends hire a car, stake out his
bride-to-be's movements, snatch her off the street, and take her to the
groom's family home. A delegation is then sent to her family. The
abducted woman is held until someone from her family arrives to
determine whether they will accept the "proposal" and she will agree to
marry her kidnapper.
BRIDE KIDNAPPING documents in harrowing detail four such abductions,
from the violent seizures on city streets and the tearful protests of
the women, who are physically restrained and persuaded to accept their
fate by the women of the groom's family, to the often tense negotiations
between the respective families, and either the eventual acquiescence
or continued refusal of the young women.
Californication is back yet again for a new season and so far Becca has quit school to be a writer (go figure) Karen got high and got a job, Marcy is , well typical Marcy and after a intervention from all of his nearest and dearest ,Hanks in rehab! Oh and of course he meets a pretty young girl with her own issues whilst he there, obviously! Not before getting raped....Dont ask,youl need to watch it!
I'm hoping though that this season its not your typical hank gets drunk,fucks,fucks his kids head up,starts all over again yadda yadda...BORIN NOW GUYS.
Hank drinks his own piss in the first episode so you can see where im coming from.
But still you've gotta love him!
I just hope the writers know what there doing or this might be the last season.
Brazils poorest residents at
indefinite risk of losing livelihoodin
preparation for Rio 2016
Thousands of
Rio’s poorest residents are living in fear of losing their homes to forced
evictions that are destroying their communities. 170,000 Brazilians are at risk
of losing—or have already lost—their homes in forced evictions tied to
preparations for the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016. Forced
evictions happen primarily in highly valued areas of cities, resulting in the
expulsion of the poorest people to the outskirts, where there is no access to
basic public services.
Humans rights
group WITNESS have made a short documentary about the evictions highlighting
just how the people of Brazil’s shanty towns are currently suffering. WITNESS partner ANCOP is organizing several
events around the Rio+20 Conference to send a message that development that
violates human rights is NOT development, and Brazilian government must commit
to upholding the law and international human rights obligations by putting an
end to forced evictions tied to mega events.
More than
3,000 troops launched a pre-dawn assault on Brazil's largest shantytown ,
driving heavily-armed gang members from Rio's Rocinha favela as part of an
continuing effort to clean up the 2016 Olympic city.At
around 4.06am armoured personnel carriers clattered into the slum. Residents had hung banners asking for peace
from their balconies and windows but special forces met no resistance as they
piled into the slum's alleys past shuttered shops, stray dogs and heaps of
rubbish.
Susanna Lira
a Brazilian born film maker said ‘’ I have witnessed how the city is changing, and
changing fast, as a result. Huge infrastructure projects have been launched to
prepare the city for these events. In order to make way for new highways and
transport infrastructure many families have lost their homes.’’
So who are listening to the voices of the vulnerable?
According to
the City of Rio, 140,000 people from the most vulnerable areas will be able to
benefit from the ‘’Alliance for Sport and Development’’ which aims to better
the lives of many children. This initiative has brought together key partners FC
Barcelona Foundation, NBA and Inter-American Development Bank who say this WILL
improve the lives of underprivileged children and youth in Rio de Janeiro.
‘’The
project will contribute to the legacy of the World Cup and the Olympics and to
an enduring development impact in Rio and in Brazil,” said IDB President Luis
Alberto Moreno. “The IDB has helped train thousands of youths in our sports for
development programs and we´ve seen how sports can help a community develop in
an integral way.”
With that
being said many of the tenants that have lost their homes without warning still
haven’t been given any compensation or answers. With many of them planning to
protest you really get the feeling that these people are seen as disposable.
With
similarities to Beijing 2008 Olympics where 1.5 million residents going through
the same scenario ,the clear up will
continue indefinably with or without protest.
“Hosting the
Olympics should be a cause for celebration not fear,” says Yvette J. Alberdingk
Thijm, Executive Director of WITNESS, a human rights group that did a short
documentary about the evictions. “Forced evictions undermine the mission and
spirit of the games.We call on
government officials to immediately put a stop to the practice of forced
evictions.”
The 2016
Olympics coupled with the 2014 FIFA World Cup has brought a lot of human
traffic to the financial capital of Brazil. However, the forced eviction is
tempering the nerve of the people who are either affected by it or are
indirectly involved in the labour chain.
Mega event
clean ups like Beijing & Rio are seen as acceptable but London 2012 didn’t
have a mega clean up and I’m sure if that was the British nations voices would
have been heard . So why is it acceptable in countries where the vulnerable and
less fortunate doesn’t get heard.
It seems
that the idea is for Rio to become a more ecstatically pleasing capital where
the original culture of slums and shanty towns will be wiped out for a more
higher classed lifestyle.
Among many
companies capitalizing on anew look
Rio, Donald Trump has announced plans for the largest office complex in Brazil
as part of the controversial redevelopment .
With the
redevelopment being obviously money motivated the hope for residents over the
next few years is bleak. With the mind-set of the authorities thinking progress
is demolishing community’s just so they
can host the Olympics for a few weeks , many of the residents know that the
peoples country has become nothing but a cooperate foundation for offshore
investments with a ‘’your with us or
against us ‘’ attitude.
Will the
IOCwill pick a more established country
for Olympics 2020 ?Or will it bemorecommunities being forced from their homes to make way for profitable
arenas and international investments .
After a long awaited few months KENDRICK LAMAR finally began his first uk tour, and what a show he put on! Friday 18th saw him perform at Birmingham's HMV Institute
The gig was fuckin insane,and we as his fans raved it up!
It was like every single person n the place were all hardcore fans more time it was the crowd performing his songs lyric for lyric.
The crowd were on there scruface-skank,which was definitely fitting with the impeccable systems HMV have. The place got hype quick.
With performances of songs from his album Good Kid,M.A.A.D City ( The Art of Peer Pressure (Intro),Money Trees
Backseat Freestyle .Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe ,Poetic Justice,The Recipe,m.A.A.d city ,Swimming Pools (Drank). As well as songs from his critically exclaimed digital albums O.verly D.edicated & Section 80 like P&P , Hol'' Up, Tammys Song and A.D.H.D- the set list was on point.
Unfortunately for me, and probably many other fans that night, He didn't perform ''Compton'' which i had be highly anticipating, that being said that was my only issue but you cant have everything can ya !
The concept album follows the story of a young Lamar growing up in Compton, California, while including skits at the end of several tracks that relate to the story of the album. It is referred to as a "short film by Kendrick Lamar" on the album cover. The album's concept narrates a teenage Kendrick borrowing his mother's van
to visit a girl named Sherane and experiencing the Compton gang
lifestyle with his friends, then entering reality after the death of a
friend during a shoot-out
Section.80 is a concept album
that revolves around the life of Tammy and Keisha and it explains their
personal hardships in their lives. "Tammy's Song (Her Evils)" revolves
around two girls cheating on their boyfriends after discovering they
were unfaithful, and eventually sleeping with each other because they
can't trust men. "Keisha's Song (Her Pain)" is about a prostitute who seeks comfort and control, only to her demise. Lamar explains that Section.80 is for people born in the 1980s until now.
Although King .K smashed it, his support acts really baffled me. I'm all for upcoming artists but without a doubt Rascals were not the right vibe, and god they got much more stage time than they should of had.
These guys couldn't get a staffy hype!
These guys should of came out done 2 songs then left! but instead they performed ,i duno how many tunes but it was to much. it resulted in them being boo'ed and being left hanging when everyone refused to ''put ya hands up'' - it was just plain embarrassing. But yeah, good luck an all that guys but stick to ur target audience
