Being down 6 Feet Under



First of all I want to say. HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!! :-D. I know it's Boxing day but i was busy stuffing my face with food and watching bad tv yet i was pleasantly surprised by the film Love Actually...hmmmm.

So today's early morn/late night post is basically about digging yourself into situations where you feel you can't get out of. Now i'm not saying that it is entirely your fault that you got yourself into "said" situation but all i'm merely pointing out in this post is to: "How you feel once you got into it?" "What can/have done to get out of it" and "Why".

Now i'm writing this because i basically feel as if i'm in one at the moment. It is a girl problem but i'm not going to digress on that. That's for another time and could take a few number of posts. But do you guys sometimes feel that there is no way out in certain situations. That basically whatever you do to try and rectify the situation, it just gets worse. For me, it feels as if that happens all the time. Whatever my gut/heart thinks....i go for it and the whole sha-bang goes south. That's why i keep asking for advice sometimes because what i've done, doesn't seem to work.
I do believe that you can get yourself out of a sticky situations but that takes skill. For instance university interviews. I was at an interview at York and the professor asked me why i wanted to do "said" course. I bullshitted and he caught me out but i managed to, in my belief,  get out of it because they gave me an unconditional offer.

I guess it all depends on the situation and how much experience you have within it. As in, have you been in it before, if so what did you try to recover it.

The problem is i guess is that people are not constant. Each person is different and that's good. It means we will always have interesting people to talk to and hang out but it also means that we cannot predict their behaviour so there is no set formula to guide us into handling certain situations.

I apologise for any grammar and/or spelling mistakes in this blog. I'm just in a bad mood and neeeded to let it out.

Until next time guys.

How would you like to go back to the future



It's roughly 4am and I'm up doing uni work. Things have to be done unfortunately even when there is a holiday. Tears could just come out of tear ducts but i'm gonna hold back lol. So for my first blog I decided not to go down the theme of christmas, with the problem of getting presents and seeing family. I think everyone at the moment is having problem with presents, it just seems to be one of those things.


In actual fact I was gonna write about looking foward. I know that New Years is still around 2 weeks away but looking into the future has been on my mind for a while. 
I know in my head, in career terms, what I would like to happen. I will get into the career tree I want and start from the bottom and work up. It's the way it's going to be. I'll go back home, live there for a while and eventually move out. However what get's my noodle on the odd occasion is thinking how potentially different my life could be if I chose certain things at certain moments in my life. I don't regret now at how my life is now but there are certain things that I think that maybe I would have a better chance if I "did this" instead or "did that". 


In a way it's a thing that crosses everyone's mind but how much do you let it affect you. I have always and will try to continue to live my life without regrets. I'm not necessarily saying that I believe in fate (that topic will covered later) but you should live your life to the fullest and what ever comes in your way you should make the best out of it.


What I guess I'm trying to say and propose to you guys to comment about, is your future and how you see it and if you feel that the future you want could have had a greater chance in happening if you made certain decisions in the past. I do in a way but then i made some decisions recently to make my chances better.


I apologise for a slightly confusing first blog. They will get clearer as I grasp this "thing" better.


For now it's bed, the one thing i think most of us can rely on.

It's been snowing so i thought i start there.

Hi there, so my name is "Patrick Bruce", well it's not really my name it's something else but I will go into those reasons later, for now I will use this alias instead.I'm 22 and live in the South but not in London but near it.I won't go into too much about simple stats because that isn't why I did this. So I decided to start a blog today, just like probably hundreds or possibly thousands of other people for some simple reasons. I want to share my thoughts about certain aspects of life, life from a young persons point of view and essentially to share things that people around my age and possibly younger and older can relate to. That they are not alone and not the only ones thinking about it. Even though I have lived a very short life so far I feel I can help as much now as I can in lets say twenty years. I have been helped by friends and family and have helped them, I feel I can let my views spread to a wider audience. In some respects I feel I have views and thirties year old. Weird no??
So in essence I'm here to talk about life, things in the news, problems circulating people our age and to give hope and a sense of grounding for people. To give them peace of mind that someone else has or is going through what they are going through. I'm not going to preach, like you should do this or I think this and so should you!. I will try to give a balanced view but obviously it's going to be biased in one way because I'm the one feeling it. I would love for you to give your opinions and comments on the blogs. If you have been through something like it and would like to give advice then please post. This is an open forum, I'm just here to lay the foundations of thought.

It's not going to be too serious and dark and sad but you know, a nice frank view with the odd does of humour and seriousness. Think of it as South Park but not so hardcore, well no where near as hardcore.

So I'll give my first post in a few days, until then enjoy the snow and have fun.

P.S. The name for the blog is I think everyone can relate to :D
