2006-06-21 12:39  ( this was written when i was 16, many things have changed but i just wanted people to know that i could still wright very well when i was younger. ) Julie, So today’s a new day I can’t wait to tell of what happened in the last few weeks. Well firstly there was Julie she is a self confessed lesbian and uses people for money for e.g. Greame Jones her ex boyfriend and now apparent friend. Greame has lots of money and Julie hangs out with him because of this. You may think that I’m sad for talking about her like this but I make a valid point. Well as time went on julie and Greame friendship grows stronger due to recent events I saw a side of Lauren I didn’t see before a horrible two faced side but Greame  is yet to see this but will be shocked when he does. Recently when I was still friends with them both I lost my job and didn’t have much money because I wasn’t buying Julie much anymore she turns to Greame and asks him to buy him say somet

Light by Danny McCourt Jr.   There are many different meanings to the word light, the definition is to ignite or to make dark light. Light for me means many things, it means the light at the end of the tunnel meaning always move forward and eventually light equals happiness. people always say it gets darker before the light and its true it does. The glow of a expecting mother the sunshine in the sky. The word light meaning to have light in your life to follow a faith and to give people hope. Its hard to think that just one word can be the starting point for such a positive mentality.

Think of a small stream carrying with it the litter of society untill it reaches a point on its journey where the litter cant travel any further because its being held back by netting by a row of metal bars only allowing the stream through into dark tunnels where eventually after travelling through a series of tunnels hoping to catch a speck of light eventually come through the tunnel into a wide open space full of water and trees, the sun shining down on pure life, The litter gathers being pushed with a steam of water against the netting until one day two little pieces of litter are forced through the netting swooshing and whirling and pushing against the edges of the tunnel wall and are eventually floated through to the light , the sun and a different way to what they had before but the rest of the litter keeps blocking the netting and only when the stream thinks there ready it will take them through to a new chapter in its journey. wrote a few month ago

 The Way the dutch people spoke reminded me of galic, it is a very strong language with the people there pronouncing every sound within their words, putting such emphasis on their K's and H's etc. I had to get used to the way of living over here for a while, they didnt have the west of scotland culture, this is when you drink to get smashed. they had a more laid back approach they drank wine and beer to be sociable but never to get drunk. I never really grasped that concept to be honest.  Hallo, meaning hello, ja, meaning yes but pronounced with a Y sound not J. Nee, meaning no. Waar? meaning where ? waneer ? meaning when ? warrom ? meaning why ? veel geluk, meaning good luck Dag, meaning Goodbye. Another word that came in handy was KIP meaning chiken. due to the fact there was a dominos pizza 3 doors down from our house. If i could take one thing away from going to holland it would be, experiance things whilst your young, go over on Holiday not to work as i don

16/10/2011 location veenendaal Holland. 2 weeks have passed and seven to go. It's such a wonderful place. It's very picturesque, small and peacful. it's hard to believe that only 40 minutes away by train is Amsterdam. i was there yestarday for the first time in years. What a place Expensive but full of life, culture and the odd coffee shop..... It was a very busy place and you see it through diffrent eyes when you are 22. The town of Veenendaal is very diffrent from anywhere i have ever been before. there is litraly a wind mill in our back garden, no joke. Like i said though a very small town, and very christian aswell, That's one of the last things you would think of when you though of Holland. The only places Open in our town on a sunday was a Hotel and the Burger king. This place is remarkable and the diffrence it has to Glasgow is astounding.

Go back a year, change things, go down a different road in life and see why fate does what he does. These two stories are about a group of friends. The first group met as friends often do through the most original way of socializing through conversation. confidence and chatting on line. This was a pretty regular routine for a while until Greg the oldest of the 4 decided he wanted a night out. Little did he know that the night they would embark on would change the groups life forever. Greg gets ready and left his flat in rural Glasgow to get a bus into the city centre  for the meeting of his mates, some have made each other acquaintance before but for Sarah and  Luke this was a first time meeting.  Dannielle was the fourth member of the group she was always full of life and eager to get on the vodka, never knowing where she would end up or who she'd end up with. Greg used to joke that her middle name was cloud because she was always floating around in her own little world en

Okay! I'm not angry i'm just really...... Forget it. No i said forget it. Your not worth talking to and my life is not for you to note down with your expensive pen and your smart note book in your massive office. How can I even speak to someone who was born with a silver spoon in their mouth, who went to medical school and made somthing of themself. And then there is me. Simple at times, jelous at times. I list things too much, in my head, all thats wrong with me, my hair, my weight, my glasses, my family, my friends, my lifestyle. Infact for the last four years my life has been a disapointing.....a disapointing. okay the best way to describe this is, when you buy a epic pair of converse, that you can't return and you would think that they would fit and that they would suit any situation but when they dont fit you that's the feeling i get when decribing my life. i tried squeezing my way into a relationship that just didnt fit, i tried forcing myself into a new flat, onl

Madness comes to those who wish it. It also appears to those who least want it. For Example "misery loves company", even if its through madness. I'm not one for handling things very well expecially those situations that have emotion involved. It almost feels like i drag people down with me i don't know why they stick around to be honest, it makes me happy they do, Madness has presented itself to me in many ways, shapes and forms but most recent it would be in the form of friends. Things build up in my head, these tgings are small stupid and insignificant, these things in the bigger picture dont even matter. i feel that because of my past and because of what i've been through trust will be hard to find. I don't like people that lie, i dont understand why lies can destroy the best of friendships. Fingers crossed that soon madness will turn to normality and i'll be able to get on with my life. extract from my journal  on 14/3/2012 This was an extract i w

Leaking stanks drench the streets, the wind howls, hardly hearing the city sounds. people covered from head to toe, hardly seeing faces and nobody noticing anyone any where. The clyde rushing through dragging the city through its currents as Glasgow rushes to the sea to find the sun. Whilst the people, the cold, the young, the old, the smart and the dumb stay in the dark to wait untill the summer months . Extract from my Journal from 08/12/2011 Daniel McCourt
