don't be afraid to be you
Maybe the world lock down can have its positive as well, maybe the all new you can start now. You have promised yourself to become a new and improved version, why not now. Learn new things, listen to new things and watch new things. Find out your hidden talents while you have the time. Don't like someone or something because everyone else seems too, find out yourself.

Social media is bad for you
With the world going to hell in a hand cart and a world wide toilet roll shortage imminent , it might be worth considering the major cause. Chances are you have popped in here after using the main cause, the main bringer of doom and gloom, social media. Yes I use it but in my defence I take 90 percent of it as rubbish. Its mainly for games, music and looking at nice pictures.

Its not the end of the world
The worlds on fire and the plague has returned, at least that's what the media says and many seem to believe. Apparently the response is to buy toilet roll by the shed load, pain killers and hand wash by the gallons. It does make you wonder what people did before the panic. Have they suddenly realised its a good time to wash their hands and not cough in peoples faces?

school of life rules
My 2 brothers and sister went to college/university and got their degrees and earn loads more than me. I didn't do sixth form and although had reasonable grades I was happy to exit stage left from school just short of turning 16. I did a 2 year YTS scheme, which for the under 40s is on the job training with a day or 2 a week in college. I fixed phones and went to college to study electronic servicing. So I did the job and learnt the practical at the same time.

keep the people quiet
I should start with a warning, I believe in many conspiracy theories. Either partly or fully. The official report of 9/11 has more holes then a crumbly swiss cheese, jfk was killed by the CIA and many more beside. please don't turn off yet dear reader because the rest is an opinion you might have, possibly without realising. You might also agree with me in part, maybe you will read this and in coming days and weeks come over to my side of the fence.

its all about you
This piece could go in a few places as it covers a few subjects. Its born from mental health and it could be an unpopular opinion , but here it is in motivation territory. I have learned over time that the there is only one person you need to put above all others, one person that deserves your full respect and one person that you should love and cherish above all others.

they are just like us
My opinion here will appear strange to many but hopefully after some thought they might nod their heads, consider and then even accept. The opinion I have and have always held is as follows, celebrities and other famous people are just those that have been lucky and are the same as everyone else. This is a blanket opinion covering music, television, film and sport.

its just a theory
I have a few opinions I like opinions I like to share, even to argue about that tend to be unpalatable to some. It just I like a good conspiracy theory, even a bad one sometimes. I am sure we all see a spouse appealing for details about their missing other half and think I bet they killed them. That's a basic conspiracy theory, your being told they are appealing for the safe return of someone, you are choosing to not believe them and consider an opposite answer.

Dear rich people
The world is going to melt or freeze or drown soon. Sorry if that's a surprise but I somehow doubt it. Some of you are making an effort but most of its a token one at best. Rather then trading carbon emissions and setting your forests on fire while blaming others do it yourself. Rather then big headlining ideas look for small and build up to the bigger picture. You need to change a few laws, bring in some new and above all make sure they are obeyed. You might upset a few of your friends but they can manage.

keeping it real
This a subject that I have explored slightly with my fiancé and after the reaction try and not visit to often. I prefer her and other ladies I see to be as natural as humanly possible and to look like they do as they fall out of bed. I hate false nails, false eyebrows and anything else you need to glue on or apply with a marker pen. Shaving eyebrows to reapply with a felt tip always confuses me the most.
