When i am gone from this world, I would like you to remember me as a liberator of the unhappy, trying to see good in everyone and trying to brighten up everyones life, I would like you not to cry but to smile and laugh in the memories we have and the joys we have shared, I ask that on the Anniversary of me leaving this world not to feel sad because I am no longer there but to be happy for the time that I was, seek happiness and may you live a prosperous life and enjoy what you have as we never know when our time is up in this life, the greatest joy in life is living, so live your life as if the greatest feeling were joy.
22 years is the length of time I have been here and I have enjoyed every moment, to the world I may be one person, but to one person I may be the world.
When you look at this post I hope that it will make you remember someone close to you and you will basque in the comfort of knowing that one day you will be with them again for death is but the beginning.

A night in Thai land
Thursday 26th March goes down as one chapter of my life when I can honestly say that I had one of the most enjoyable nights of my life, good friends in the form of work colleagues and good food at the Thai Orchid in banbury, I arrived fashionably early after losing my way to the car park (It was the first time I had been driving through Banbury on my own), I managed to find my way to the car park after a couple of mintues driving and searching, then I was stood outside The Dog and Gun pub and from out of nowhere Karla shows up and says "Turn that frown upside down" I was just quite tired from work and driving and couldn't wait to sink my teeth into the meal that I had been waiting for for so long, after a quick Mango and Apple J2O courtesy of Karla, we were sat by the window and saw Katie drive past in a white Volvo, we casually walked across the road to the Thai restaurant and as we crossed the road a coach drove past and Karla said "Wow, Santa got a day job" it had to be said that the man did show a striking resemblance to good ol Santy clause, we got into the restaurant where Nigel and David were waiting for us, the food was absolutely lovely and we had a good chuckle and some really nice food, there were no arguements or squabbles.
Leigh-Ann showed up a little later than planned looking lovely (as always), she had just got back from the nail salon, when she had finally sat down we put in our orders for the evening, as I was driving I consumed no alcohol and opted for Coke and water for the night, I don't drink much anyway.
The restaurant looked very nice with carvings on the walls and 2 Elephant statues outside which we took photos of with us around it afterwards, it was like the Tardis, from the outside it seemed like a quiet little restaurant but on the inside it was quite big, with a long walk down the corridor and up a flight of stairs to get to the toilet.
I think on the whole everyone had an enjoyable evening and will remember the evening for quite a while, a lovely evening to mark the end of an era for our esteemed manager and friend Sir Nigel Redford
The drive home was a relaxing quiet drive, opting to take the back road from Banbury past Brackley, then driving through Buckingham and making my way home to Milton Keynes, getting home for 20 past 10, which was rather nice as I managed to get home in time to walk my dog, have a bath and get to bed refreshed for work the next morning............ All of this and our account manager was completely unaware of the situation (He's not very popular with the team, got one of those faces you'd just lvoe to slap)
So all in all an excellent night, with celebrations, but it is a sad time for us as we have lost a valuable member of our happy little team

Insomnia
Its a weird feeling, being tired but not actually being able to sleep, I myself have been like this since I was about 6 years old, I often find that I'm sat in bed at 01:45 in the morning failing to sleep... Despite needing rest... It just doesn't come to me sometimes, usually when I have a lot on my mind... or I'm stressed about somwthing or worrying about someone hmmm... The mind does boggle, sometimes I wonder if I will ever sleep properly and have a normal sleep pattern... but until then I sit here waiting in the dark, staring into the black chilled air that fills my room

The song I wrote last June
The Girlfriend I Never Had
Verse 1:
The Lights are fading, its getting late in, this empty town
I'm all alone and where do I stand, Where are we now?
Is it too late to turn the clocks back? I'll tell you how I feel
The chance has gone now, I can't go on now, This wound it might not heal
Chorus:
Take my heart and please don't break it, I thought that you and I could make it
How could you not know thatI liked you so... Much has changed since we first spoke
From the sweetest dream I finally woke
Verse 2:
Day lights breaking and I'm waking to another lonely bed
Dont know why I didn't tell you the thoughts in my head
Its too late now, I can't just turn around and walk back there again
Why didn't I tell you that I felt you were more than just a friend?
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3:
I've been waiting with my fate in, your open arms
I should have told you I want to hold you, what could be the harm?
I realise now I can't go back and say whats on my mind
Another girl like you..... Just the only girl like you, will be the hardest one to find
Repeat chorus twice
The importance of being a team player
So, 3 weeks ago I joined my brothers football team, he plays in a work league and him and his work mates formed a team, I joined the team 8 games in, unfortunately there are only 6 more games left in this season, but it is very enjoyable...
Yesterday was a day like every other day apart from the fact that I have finally realised the value of my worth, it all started when we had a game against a team which are 3rd in the league standings (our team are at the bottom, they had a bad start to the season) I was in goal as usual which is my preferred position, having lost our previous 2 matches I thought that the fact that we were up against opponents that were more accomplished and of higher calibre than our previous opponents the score line at the end of the game may of reflected on our lack of team chemistry and supposed lack of skill.
This was not the case, during the first 10 minutes of the match our captain, one Dominic King had picked up an injury, which unfortunately retired him from the game and we were forced to bring on a substitute, now this was a guy who we didn't really know... he was just standing around waiting for teams who require extra players, like a predator waiting in the over growth, so he came on and was of decent skill.
The score line at the end of the match is more than I ever expected for us with neither team conceading a goal, the other team had a much greater number of shots at me and I'm not sure why but I felt a bit different as the game went on... more competitive, more alert, i guess this reflected in the way that I played and I was delighted at the end of the match when the referee came up to me and I quote said "I'm giving you man of the match, you played an awesome game today." With that the other team came up to my goal and praised me on a job well done, it sumed up for me what the meaning of a "good team player" really is and my fellow team mates could not have been more appreciative of my presence, admitedly I wouldn't of been as good had it not been for my 2 defenders, they played just as well as I did, I look forward to next weeks match and this time we are looking for a win... Wish us luck.
Rob, Dom, Smithy, Blakey, Linsell, you guys are awesome and I am happy that you chose me as your goal keeper, lets get a win next week
