With intentions true

Well, I went ofr a walk with my Nan a short while ago and waffled about a lot of things. I moaned, about how people seem to be stuck in a rut, doing the same thing day in, day out, and bla bla bla. I've realied that even though I'm not doing the A'typical day to day stuff, I am still repeatedly doing things teh same every day.

Every day I start with the best of intentions to get some uni work done. I don't do it. I only tend to crack down on Uni work at the very last minute. I don't find it a pressure situation, but it is very repeating. I sit in my room day in, day out, and do absolutely nothing. Time, although made up, is passing me by, and rather than living in the moment, I'm living in the habit.

So I've got things that I intend to do. I don't just intend to do them, I am going to do them. Here's is my list, which I may add to on the odd occasion if anything extra comes up.

1. Walk at least 3 times a week for at least half an hour
- this means I get fresh air, and more of a chance to connect with nature, and life, and everything. Just breathing it in and feeling the air move around inside me.

2. Do something to help someone every day.
- Whether it's just listening to someone, answering a simple question, smiling at someone (smiles are infectious), doing something to help mum. It doesn't matter what it is, but to help someone not only makes them feel good, it makes me feel nice.

3. Finish Uni and get AT LEAST a 2:1 level degree.
- I'll have achieved something that some people never thought I could. This means that I can proove to myself that I was right to keep believing in myself, when others didn't think so. And know and believe in my hear that yes indeed I could.

4. Visit at least 50 different countries in my lifetime.
- Even those with cultures not so different from my own. No matter what culture and society is, and whether it's good for you or not, there are many different ones. I feel it is vitally impossible to experience as many different ways of life as possible. Visit as many sites, and witness as much of the goodness of nature as possible.

5. Laugh
- The ability to laugh is the best ability that the human mind offers. Laughing can do so much. It makes you feel liberated (is that the right word) and releases a lot of stresses in the body. Unnecessary stresses and tension I might add. Laughing is also infectious, and just maybe that


That's five to start. I do not wish to plan how or when I do such things, I just know that that's my intentions. And I shall carry out those to the best of my ability....my ability is infinite.




Now then, thinking about being stuck in a rut. I ventured on to you tube just a few moments ago, and typed in the search bar I've made a plan. The first video that popped up was a music video from a band called Simple Plan, the song is When I'm Gone. I thought I'd post the lyrics here, if you look and see you'll notice how they fit in with this blog. Happy days.....

Here's the video...


Here are the lyrics.....

I look around me
But all I seem to see
Is people going nowhere
Expecting sympathy
It's like we're going through the motions
Of a scripted destiny
Tell me where's our inspiration
If life won't wait
I guess it's up to me

Whoah
No we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
Whoah
We wont come back, the world is coming out
Whoah
Leave the past in the past gonna find the future
And misery loves company
Well so long
You'll miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Procrastination running circles in my head
While you sit there contemplating
you'll wind up left for dead
Life is what happens
While you're busy making your excuses
Another day, another casualty
But that won't happen to me

Whoah
No we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
Whoah
We wont come back, the world is coming out
Whoah
Leave the past in the past gonna find the future
And misery loves company
Well so long
You'll miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone

(Let's go)
Won't look back
When I say goodbye
I'm gonna leave this hole behind me
Gonna take what's mine tonight
'cause every wasted day
Becomes a wasted chance
You're gonna wake up feeling sorry
'cause life won't wait
I guess it's up to you

Whoah
No we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
Whoah
We wont come back, the world is coming out
Whoah
Leave the past in the past gonna find the future
And misery loves company
Well so long
You'll miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone



See where they fit in? I don't personally thing the song itself is all that great, but hey, that's not the point.
