Yooo motherfudgers.
Sorry, again, for not doing as i planned, and to be perfectly honest with you, i have no excuse, so you will just have to forgive me. :)
My post for today is a song, as i haven't done one like this in a while. the song is entitled 'Loser Like Me' and sung by The Glee Cast.
The main reason for this having an inspirational effect is the whole 'I'm a LOSER, I don't care' sort of thing. This attitude is good for having a high self-esteem, which is mostly the whole theme when it come to Glee.
Basically, my advice to you for this week is to ignore what anyone thinks of you, be your own person, and be proud of being exactly that, and not what everyone else wants to be.
And just think, those people who mock you for being different to them, will be the ones that when you grow older, you see on street corners begging, working as binmen and on Jeremy Kyle :).
AND THEN IT'S YOUR TURN.
here is a link. go listen to this song, and listen to the lyrics well. :)

I'M BAAAACK! && Defying The Doctors.
HEEEEY.
I'M BACK! sorry for the looong boring hiatus, it was like two months right?! but yeah, i've been crazy busy. exams, revision, back to school, relationships, arguments. yeah, its been a mental month and a half.
but now i'm back, i plan to do a post every once a week, not sure which day yet, but i'll be sure to let y'all know.
aaaanywaayy.
here's an inspirational story about the father of a disabled boy, who has done so much for his son, its unbelievable. a basic overview is that when Rick was born, the doctors told his parents that he would be disabled for the rest of his life, but they did not want to believe this.
after a lot of hard work, Rick's parents forked out for an amazing piece of equipment which allowed him to communicate. due to this, Rick told his parents how he wanted to help the other disabled kids, and so Dick (Rick's dad) has done so many things to contribute to helping the disabled, things like sponsored runs, towing Rick in a dingy while swimming, and so many more.
the amazing love that a father can give to his son is most definitely emphasised here, and it is just so beautiful to hear someone go to that much of a length, not just for his own son, but for other disabled children too, shows that this man is someone to look up to, a role model.
anyway, enough of my jibber-jabber, go read it for yourselves, and think to yourselves, what lengths would YOU go to for your son or daughter, or even for someone you love. think how much they mean to you, and what they would do for you. think about what life would be like without them. unbearable? hard to take?

and then remember that i love you all, no matter what ;)

Schedule&&Taking Chances.
Hey y'all.
I know these posts are a little irregular, and I should be doing them everyday, but with school and homework and all my friend problems etc I really don't have time to be doing one everyday. What I have come up with is to do one every Thursday or sooner. I'm hoping not to make them any longer than a week apart, unless one of the following happens:
1. I contract malaria
2. I become a famous ninja
3. I'm kidnapped.
On a lighter note, here is your inspiration for this week. This is a song, which haven't done yet in terms of types of inspiration, originally sung by Celine Dion, but I am choosing the Glee Cast version because I can relate to it easier. The song is called Taking Chances, and it is basically all about that, about jumping off a cliff, not knowing whats below you, about taking a risk for someone you love.
Anyway, enough of me blabbering to you, here is the Youtube link for the video. I have chosen a lyric video, so you can see the words.

Enjoy.

JEEZ I NEED TO UPDATE THIS MORE OFTEN&& Lead Out Loud.
Sorry everybody, I have just been super busy the past week. I went back to school and it was ca'raazy. But anyhoo today I thought I would post something different and interactive, that could inspire you, and I came across an amazing video, which moved me incredibly. If there is anyone going through a hard time or just needs some reassurance, this is the video to get the wheel spinning.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEqdr_Awdak
There isn't really much I can say about this video that wouldn't be repetition, so go and watch it, feel good about yourself and feel inspired. Oh, and watch all the way to the end, won't be worthwhile otherwise.

Sorry&&Love Has No Gender.
Hey y'all.
Sorry I didn't post anything yesterday, I was mega-super-insanely busy with all the New Year lark. So, to make up for it, I am going to write about a matter that is quite close to my heart for many reasons, and something that I will be able to go into major detail about.
The quote of which I am talking is actually one of mine. I'm sure you have heard other people saying it, and I'm not trying to gain possession over it, but it is one that I use and believe in.
'Love has no gender'
Ryan Trowbridge
Love isn't a person, it is a feeling, so how can a feeling have a gender. Angriness is not a 'male' feeling for example, anyone can feel it, and feel it's effects, and love should be the same.
Now this really hits me hard, because it is so true. People in the LGBT community most definitely do not get enough rights. Especially when it comes to loving each other. Love is like a game of spin the bottle, whoever it lands on, that's who it has to be, you can't just change that, and people can't change that for you. If you decide you love someone of any gender it should be allowed. Marriage is about love right? That's what the Church teaches is it not? That you should love each other with all your heart etc. etc. blah blah. So what the Church are saying is that gays or lesbians do not love each other if they want to get married? Who are they to announce that someone loves someone or not? If the Church stated that one straight man did not love his wife, there would be a total overthrow of the church and it would probably make the newspapers.
Yet the Church are allowed to do this to people of a different sexual orientation. Which is another complete balls-up of the Church's teachings. They teach we are all equal, and then go and do this.
What I'm trying to say overall is, you can't help who you fall in love with, be it man, woman or both, love is a feeling, not a gender.

Money Cannot Buy Happiness&&Happy New Year
Seeing as today is the last day of 2010, I thought I would end the year with a light-hearted story to make you feel better about yourself, and I have come across the perfect story.
A Canadian couple, Allan and Violet Large, who won $10.9m (£6.7m) in the National Lottery in July of this year, have given away nearly 98% of their winnings to the people in their lives who do not get much recognition for what they do. Some of these places included Fire Departments and even the hospital at which Violet received cancer treatment. But the most inspirational thing about this story is that the Large couple were not rich themselves, but instead stated they were 'happy with what we got' and adding 'you can't buy happiness'.
This is a very poignant statement, as it is thrown around a lot, as many people have different beliefs about it. My belief is that you cannot buy happiness. You may have the best sports car, and a 52" 3DTV and a 20 storey mansion under your wing, but you could still be miserable. The things in life that mean something are non-material, and it is only these things that can make us truly happy.
Sure, having all the newest rad things would be cool, and you would be very lucky to have them, but take away these things and you are just like any other person, with the need to be loved and wanted, and the need for happiness.
Considering that the vast majority of people believe they don't have enough money, if you feel you have enough, you can consider yourself one of the richest people in the world, no matter how much is in your bank account. Think about this, and ask yourself how much is enough?
Also, Happy New Year to all you guys, hope 2011 is an inspiring year and that you enjoy yourself.

Life Has No Smooth Road.
So, I am sitting here at quarter to nine in the evening, and I'm thinking, 'what can I start my blog with?'. now obviously, there are many ways of inspiring yourself, may it be a song with meaningful lyrics, or by watching a celebrity who is also this inspiring. but then I came across this quotation:
Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself.
W. C. Doane
Now, this really struck me, and made me realise the absolute truth of it. And what I gained from it was this, my advice to you for today; life is going to be hard, there is no easy way out unfortunately. You have to just go with it, and going with this more challenging and rough way of life, will be incredibly rewarding in the end, though you may not see it now.
Don't take the path to gain nothing, just because this path is easier, take the more challenging path, and gain a lot.
This is probably very relevant to me, because in school, I seem to just go with the flow, I don't make an effort to fulfil my potential, I take the easy road in school, and I shouldn't. Which is why I urge you to stand out, make a difference, if your not like the rest of your peers, well hey-ho, look at it the other way round, they are not like you, take the hard road and succeed in life. You will be grateful later in life if you do.
