About Me

I was inspired by nature and driven by science. I attack everything in life with a mixture of extraordinary genius & naive incompetence, and it is often difficult to tell which is which.

The Fault In Our Stars.

Lately I have been busy beyond compare which has been clearly reflected in the complete and utter (inexcusable) lack of blogs. You see in a matter of weeks I have gone from doing 5 days of college every two weeks to working 3 jobs along with college and unfortunately something had to give in my schedule and that has been my blog. But alas, I am writing again so sit back and enjoy.

Looking back on this year I am relatively happy with how it went, I miraculously got through 3 relationships, 5 jobs and 2 schools. That is not bad going by any ones standards but how would I actually rate this year and my achievements? Well I would give myself a 7 out of 10. There have been some truly out standing moments, like for instances when I got the job with Mark Bailey Racing and my prom. But also some tragically low points like falling out with all my friends over the summer publicly and unnecessarily. But the point to this is not to reflect on the bad points but to thank life for the great points and look ahead to the future.  

When I look back on this year I do not look back with sadness of regret, I look back and remember laughing with my friends, going to campout's, meeting girls and having a jolly old good time. This year I have gone on holiday with my good friend Laurence twice, and have some fantastic memories, like when we decided that we where going swimming regardless of temperature. Being the English Channel it was -1 million degrees and I nearly died from shock. The next day we went kayaking, having never kayaked before I figured the English Channel was a-good-a-place as any to learn, oh but what a mistake that was. I did not bank on a hurricane coming in and after attempting to negotiate 10 foot waves for 3 hours using my limited experiences ( 3 hours to be precise) I very nearly expired due to exhaustion and was beginning to wish I had been because that seemed much more pleasant then the prospect of being smashed aganst the rocks by a wave the size of an average American citizen! Also earlier in the year we decided to go out door swimming in the middle of February, if you're not from England I advise you come here and stand out side in a pound and feel the cold. But here is the thing, I look back on these memories with such fondness and glee. Everyday we live we add to our memory bank and experiences, we all do amazing things and everyday we live we get to expand that bank of happiness. I like to call it are life library. 

The best thing about having lived another year is that I have learnt more about myself, I have experiences new challenges, dealt with new situations, not always making the right decisions, granted. But always learning for the next time. Also I have learnt and the enjoyment and self worth of becoming more knowledgeable is unparalleled. The more you learn the more of a rounded human being you become, you become more interesting, more informed, wise and mostly experienced. I am so much more mature and experienced then I was a year ago and I think that makes me a better person. Also another year down and another opportunity to expand our interest, I now live on blogs and vlogs, I myself as you well know since you are reading this have started a blog, which has gone from strength to strength. It may not be as regular as was originally intended but its still no less here and growing in popularity to which I am hugely grateful. 

As I look in to my fictitious crystal ball looking in to next year I see one exciting opportunity waiting to be seized, I have a new girl in my life, I have a very stable dependable friends group, my family support my direction and it all looks set to be awesome. I might be going to Canada to meet a very good friend, I will learn to drive and I will travel Europe working with a race team pursuing my dreams for which I am so thankful, I must never forget that most people don't get to follow there dreams but with the hard work I have put in I am, I am privileged and it is such a great feeling to be doing it. 

This is the time of year to be with family and friends, but not just with them but to realize how lucky we are to have them, I want everyone reading this blog to have a fantastic Christmas but more importantly a fulfilling and proud 2012, I love you all and you never fail to impress me with the amazing things we can achieve together. We are a incredible community made up of all classes and walks of life but in 2012 we can stand together and know we made the world in 2011 suck a little less and be that little more awesome. Thanks you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my blog over the last half year and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. 

"Fear is killing us, but true love can survive. If we cooperate, we can beat doubt. But first, rebuild trust. Take responsibility. Happiness is still free, though not always apparent when it's right in front of us. So keep calm, it's gonna get better."
