Beauty? Its On The Inside!

A couple of days ago i had a massive feeling of ranting building up inside of me, i seem to remember getting worked up about the general feeling of if your not beautiful you will get no where in life. Now i cant for the life of me think why i had to rant about it or why it even crossed my mind? Maybe i saw a model on TV... but thinking about it more it does seem very un-fair and also not true.

Take school, most of the time the most popular people at school are either the most confident people or the most beautiful, this is not always the case but you usually find a popular person with one of those attributes (sometimes you find a popular person who is beautiful, confident and has a very squeaky voice...they may be attractive but also very annoying) and of course they have the biggest number of 'friends' on Facebook and also manage to make fake Id's work better then anyone else but this is not a passport to a great and happy life.

I was not a popular person at school and i was not friends with any of the popular people, but i had my group of friends and i treasured them! I don't care if they are beautiful, confident, have an annoying voice and are good at sports (that was another thing that made you popular...cant see Tim Henman being popular at school but anyway) they were my friends because they liked me for who i was and i liked them for who there were (plus they paid me....sorry bad joke) and thanks to them i have friends for life, and i know for a fact i will not fall out because i have the same shirt or have the same girlfriend!

I was also going to go on and on and on about celebrities but i think i have made my point, we obviously can look good, and its good when we do, but being 'beautiful' does not mean success in life, however it can mean having loads of annoying, screaming, squeaky voice girls running after you at a concert and rolling about on the hood of Whitesnakes car....what a life.

(I do actually like Whitesnake, but having a girl on the bonnet would either damage the paint work or fall off and sue you!)

The Transfer Market Has Gone Crazy

I remember sitting here a couple of weeks ago thinking that the usual rush of early purchases by Football Clubs. Usualy there is a couple of big name buys early on and a few random players who no one has ever heard of.

But now it has all kicked off in a big way and its not (or wasent at least) Manchester City leading the way. Real Madrid not happy with breaking the world transfer record after buy Kaka, destroyed there own record by buying Cristiano Ronaldo for £80,000,000! Personaly that for me is a bit much for a player who spends most of his time rolling around on the floor crying then just to be even more annoying scores a few goals along the way.

Not happy with this either Real have also signed (using slightly more humain money) Raul Albiol (A promising looking defender from Valencia) and Karim Benzema, a target for Manchester United (HAHAHA!).

Back in England Manchester City signed Gareth Barry and Roque Santa Cruz, and now Carlos Tevez and are expected to sign Emmanuel Adebayor (Who i think is a waste of space on any football pitch). Two players who could have been on there way to Spurs, Barry and Santa Cruz just incase you hadnt realised, sadly when to the new mega force in football.

In recent days Spurs have been linking with young defenders Kyle Walker and Kyle Naughton and ex Arsenal Patirck Viera...now the transfer market has gone really crazy!

2009 So Far

As i sit here on the 15th of July 2009, i have been thinking about the year so far.

Obviously this year has been dominated by going on's down Whitehall and the Houses of Parliament. Having not been blessed with glory when the Credit Crunch then Recession hit us at the end of 2008, our trust and faith in Parliament was rocked when the Expenses Scandal hit us and shocked us.

When it was discovered that politicians had used tax-payers money for second homes, dodgy DVD's, Moat Cleaning and a Duck island/home everyone was outraged, and with voting for the European elections around the corner this heavily influenced the mind set of the voting British public.

Despite MP's pledging to pay back around £100,000, and admitting to taking advantage of the expense's system, i believe that for most people the damage is done and it will take alot of work and maybe a goverment who know what they are doing to repair the damage.

At least we have the legend that is Boris Johnson as Mayor Of London, he may be a wally but he is a 100% golden legend!
