It would appear all the things I’ve kept quiet have finall caught up with me, and it’s all hit me at once.

I thought I’d post the following, as I’ve always seen it as almost a guide for life, and right now I think it seems to mean more to me than in previous events.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream–and not make dreams your master,
If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings–nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And–which is more–you’ll be a Man, my son!

I’ll be honest… Im at a loose end, and I’m of the opinion having lots of “Freyed Ends” can’t be a good thing at a time like this? For the next couple of weeks I may leave things as they ar eonline and try to sort everything else out. perhaps I’m just trying to complete too many things at once and my interests are becoming conflicted and lacking? I’ll be back in a week or two once everything else is sorted, and I’ll sort this place out too.

I’ve spent all the past couple of days researching flights, and somewhere to stay out in Italy… I’m thinking Florence (Pisa etc.) I was tempted by Torrento, but the amount of rubbish in the streets at the moment put me off a fair bit…

These plans aren’t completely final, but I should be booking flights this evening, and then I’ll have to find somewhere to stay!

If anyone’s stayed in or around Florence before and wants to recommend me anywhere good to visit/stay, then feel free to let me know! Oh, and yeah…Try get a translation for the title

We got to Birmingham around 11:30 yesterday morning, and quickly went about hunting down new attire… After spending a good hour forcing our way in, around and out of Primark, we headed over to Urban Outfitters…(Extremely expensive shop) Well, for guys anyway… Which sort of brings me on to one of my points…

We must have gone in every single shop in Birmingham suited for mens clothes, (all 4 of them) and I pretty much came away with nothing… I spend

I managed to buy myself some new jeans, and a couple of T Shirts… That was about it…Spent all morning looking for a pair of shoes I like, which apparently, no one makes shoes that I like!

This is only a quick update…I’ll give a greater detailed course of events this evening once I’ve come back from doing sweet F A…Although, it’s not really as sweet as they say!

There is a Wordpress Plugin, but it’s currently in Development stages…Which means (unless it’s finished before the event) I’ll have to live blog somewhere else…

I think the best option will be to live blog to my Tumblr account… I’ll leave the link here closer to the event, I’ll also try to live blog as much as possible!
