20 on the 20th! 

Yeah, look at me cutting the cake being all 18 and stuff. ^^ Me on my 18th birthday.

It's that time of year again! Time to bake my cake and decorate the flat for my birthday tomorrow.

It's quite sad to know that I won't be spending my birthday with my family this year, it's an odd feeling. I'm not quite use to being without my family in any case but especially for my birthday. I spent the weekend at home back in Hull, so that I could see my parents before I turn the big 20. Whilst packing my things on the Sunday afternoon I came to realise that I'm growing up too fast, too fast for my own liking.

This is where I had a little bit of an epiphany...

Next year will be an even bigger event with it being my 21st and then maybe before I even know it - I'll be turning 30 as my next big event. It's a scary thought. Something I often think about as sometimes in life we have to face getting older. I wish I could say I want to stay 20 forever and I haven't even got there yet! I wish we didn't have to grow up and be all grown up. I don't want to have to face a place where they have rules and regulations about what you can and can't do, this really upsets me.

You're born, you're educated, you work, you die. It's a tough way to think about life but that's how it is and I try everyday of my life to see life in a different perspective.

You only have one life, live it!

Friends often moan to me about how work "Pisses me off!" But at the end of the day, it's a job. Nobody does it because they want to, they have to do it to survive and make a living. I'm not slating anybody who disagrees everybody is welcome to their own opinion. I have a job, I love it. But I only go because I have to and I love it when the money comes in. Until the Tax-Man takes it from you.

That's another thing that pisses me off. You make a living and just as you start earning you get taxed. I don't see the point in working overtime (I still do) because them extra hours you're working are going straight to the government. What's the point?!!!

But yeah going back to the point.

We don't live very long and therefore we have to make the most of it. I shall leave you with the advise that I take into consideration everyday from one of my favourite actors, Robert Downey Jr:

"Listen, smile, agree and then do whatever the fuck you were gonna do anyway."
