Holland Diary Part 2

 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 done, Have freedom explore and mis  behave its all in good fun. basically enjoy it. I went over with responsability and came back with such regret about the company i went with. pick your friends carfully and only take people you truly trust.
Would i go back to work, Nee
Would i go back to amsterdam, get drunk and end up throwing up on a double decker train again yeahboii.

A power struggle. The Story of St-Dan. By Daniel McCourt

Control of the airports was surrendered to the union. The trains had been stopped boarded and used for shelter by those travelling around the land to find food and energy . The citizens’ fought  themselves. The big Business’s had all fallen and money has became useless.   No one was getting out of Britain. This was it, the beginning of the end. The sun didn't seem to shine so bright but burn with a dark yellow creating day glow that seemed only fitting for the end of days. The union had taken over most of London and was fighting its way north collecting more and more vulnerable people as they traveled, recruiting the easily led and narrow minded. The union consisted of The Master, and Heads Of Region. For each area of the country they name their own one person who has shown loyalty becomes Head Of Region. The union believed in old time laws such as capital punishment for even the smallest crimes. People in the Old country of Scotland now known simply as The North started to get

My spiritual confession

My father was never in my life, not that I can remember. One situation I recall is when I was around 5 or 6, my father has been unfaithful to my mum to the point he fathered a child with another woman his name was john we attended nursery school together. I don’t have many memories and it was not until I was older, I found out I had a brother. John was conceived the night my mum was in giving birth to me, that’s right a class act father all the way. One cold and haunting night something very tragic happened. John fell in the park from a high jungle gym type attraction that climbed to the sky. He seemed okay and the night went on to John and his mum gong to the chippy (chip shop). Whilst waiting on his food he slipped on a wet floor and banged his head for a second time in 2 hours. His mum seemed to think he would be alright and continued on with the night john had a best friend called lee whom I know very well. Lee stayed over that night in johns house and lay with him on the couch one

You Make your own Peace of mind.

Picture this if you will, The sun going down over a majestic hill. Falling to the sea as darkness floods in. Clouds separating. The dark blue of and slightly golden twinkle of the night sky gracing the cliff. The only light being the moon to guide you to the edge. You stand and look at your world in front of you. Everything you have achieved and everything you want to achieve. The calming rush of the ocean capturing your senses. Seemingly quiet turns to natures sounds. Behind you is your home. A small but loved stone house. The walls keep in everything you don't want to escape. But you can Leave whenever you want. To find freedom. To clear your head. To live. The sight of trees for miles around. A forest path taken before, Never been seen through these eyes. You take a step back. Find your breath. You cry. You scream. It echos through the trees and the waves. It's a siren of anger. A lonely war siren Only You and nature can hear. If some one was to
