 A very Jamie update2009-Jan-25 |
I've managed successfully to ignore the fact that I turned 23 last week. Choosing instead to focus my full attention on the recent magnificent rise to power of President Obama. I don't want this blog to be too political, but we should all be happy that Guantanamo is going to be closed, and that Fox News have decided that it means Terrorists are going to be living next door to ordinary Americans. Got to love Fox News.
But anyway, yes, I turned 23. It isn't an age i'm happy about turning. Instead of wishing me a happy birthday, I insisted my friends use the phrase "Happy Wednesday". I don't want to get older. I don't want the responsibility. I want to be twelve again, on the fields of England, kicking a football against the crazy lady's fence, until her unstable husband chases us. That's how life should be. The life of a child is not "innocent" or "tender", it's life. The life of an adult is disastrously pointless.
There is some consolation to be taken from getting older. This week I promptly quit my Digital Photography Course at London South Bank University, I left the accommodation, complete with my broken room full of holes surrounding the room, stains on the walls, an uncomfortable bed, and dead flies glued to the tops of the walls, shot straight down the Northern Line on the Tube to Kings Cross and came home to Leicester.
I got home, to find that I have received an unconditional offer from De Montfort University in my home town, to study Political Journalism at Degree level, along with an apparent "Academic Scholarship" entitling me to £1000 every year for the duration of my course. Which i'm taking as conclusive proof, that i'm fucking amazing. It shouldn't be called an academic scholarship, it should be called the "fucking amazing person award".
Not only that, but i have even bigger news....
I bought a Wii!!!!
It's the most fun i've had on a games console in years. It makes sense that my entire family has hijacked it though. My sister for Wii Sports Bowling. My dad for Tiger Woods golf and my mum, for... oddly..... Wii Sports Boxing, on which, she destroyed me.
I've also spent an extra bit of "treat myself" money this month. Not only on my lovely new Wii, but on The West Wing Season 2; which is the only season I hadn't yet bought, a couple of books; The Presidents by Stephen Graubard, Blair Unbound by Anthony Seldon, Interventions by Noam Chomsky, and The Prime Ministers by Peter Hennessy. They should keep me occupied whilst my family hijack the Wii.
And that's not all!!! My beautiful Girlfriend Stacy, bought us two tickets for Russell Brand Live, this along with me buying us two tickets in July at Wembley for Oasis live.
Apart from being fucking old, it's going to be an interesting year. |

| I'm marching toward 30 (in may) and day before yesterday I had to have a conversation with a friend that resulted in her quitting her job to avoid being fired. If that's not a perfectly good excuse for a Peter Pan complex, I don't know what is. |
