Song of the Day #11

Oh my word...10 days since I was last on my blog, I do apologise for that such a hectic few weeks.

Today I have decided to choose the fabulous The Black Eyed Peas. For the last week, I have been addicted to dance beats and boogie like a complete idiot.

So here is The Black Eyed Peas and "Don't stop the Party" Turn the speakers up full blast and jump jump jump!!!

The Good, The Bad and The Unemployed!

It is literally impossible to get a job!

With so many people unemployed and so little jobs, it is a war that only one person can win. For every job there is roughly 500 people going for the same job. You can't win...people complain when they have no money but they don't want to work. They rely on other people to pay for their habit and feel like they can do nothing all day and get benefits. However, when honest people who have been working for 20 years and never missed a day in their life, they get near to nothing to live on. It is disgusting and people complain why they can't get employed they are too damn lazy to work for something. I'm applying for a douzen jobs everyday and never get a reply. It's like getting blood from a stone. Maybe, I should find an unique way to get money. Dance in Princes Street Gardens, play my trombone on George Street. Who knows what the future holds. Fingers crossed it includes a job.

Song of the Day #10

Well looky here, we have reached #10 and to celebrate this I have decided to choose this cheesy 90's classic pop song that was always on at the Primary disco and got everyone up and booging til 9! Haha

So, the lucky recipient is the wonderful and very cheesy Rednex with "Cotton eye Joe" Get the cowboy boots and hat out the attic, dust it off and turn it up full! Let's dance :)

Kids Out!

What a day!

It has been fabby, really enjoyed myself and it was lovely to spend time with the children and act like a kid myself. My duty for the day was to help out at the Balloon stand and oh my word I think I have found my new career. Haha. I found it really interesting and the things that the guy was making were incredible.

Before I knew it, it was lunch and got my face painted as a tiger and I looked more like a sun burnt tiger than a normal tiger but oh well. So, I had my face painted, balloon hat and ready to get back to work. After about an hour or so I managed to get the hang of it and started to make hundreds of weird looking dogs and swords. Obviously not advanced at it. Even the children were not taking my balloons but at least they were having fun. Throughout the day, Firemen and Army guys were walking round and have to say not too shabby, would put my life in their hands ;)

Near the end it was time for the disco and all of us from Royal High were straight on the dance floor and booging to all the cheesy 90's tunes. We were the only ones who knew the dances and the children had no idea what we were doing. Aww got to love the 90's, all my childhood memories flooding back. It was a great day out and the only down side was going home. Literally. Had to get the bus home and everyone was looking at me like I was a fool. Well, I did have my face painted as a tiger and had loads of balloons in my hands. Also, when I got off the bus, school was coming out and everyone saw me and laughed their heads off. Should of sprinted home but the balloons were flying everywhere.
Gotta love High School.

Busy Busy Busy

So many things are happening in life.

Just started sixth year and started the new courses. Already stressed as I am finding them oh well lets see impossible to catch onto but we will see how it goes. The saying for this year is "get involved!" and I think I may have taken that to the extreme.

Tomorrow I am going to the annual event "Kidz Out!" which helps disabled and vulnerable children. I am doing face painting and can't wait there will be a lot of tigers and cats tomorrow. It's a wonderful event and hey get a free t-shirt Haha
Then on Thursday and Friday there is the 6th year conference at Napier and we are assigned into groups and produce and show presentations. It's not the speaking I'm scared of it's me being left to do all the work and people taking credit for it. But hopefully it will not happen (Fingers Crossed)

The next few weeks are going to be hectic but hey I would rather be busy than sitting doing nothing all day. :) Always looking on the bright side

Walking on Sunshine

Oh what a glorious day it was in Edinburgh.

The sun was shining bright and it was roasting (it was 17 degrees, practially burning the pavements) Haha. Of course when it's sunny here in Scotland you take it by the horns and you don't let go. It is a rare occasion. So, myself and the girlies went for a lovely picnic in Princes Street Gardens and have a wonderful time. :) Show this couple that just got married and got their wedding pictures taken in the gardens. How lovely! Congrats to who ever they were. Haha. One special and rare moment was when managed to receive the Quote of the Day. Woo Hoo. It was after one of the girlies said "I have been treated like a dick" in which I reply "No, even a dick would have more respect!" A genius moment which is one in a blue moon for me.

However...The day was not over yet. No, then we met up with the guys and had a fabby time in Pizza Hut being very noisy and laughing our heads off. I swear I drank like 5 glasses of tap water. Uh I hate tap water, not to be snotty, but it tastes disgusting I could taste the cheapness (even though its tap water and its free anyway) :P

Will post pictures up in due course!

Britain's got Talent

Evening my friends

Just loving the new series of Britain's got Talent. Some people are just amazing. Tonight there were 3 Scots in one show...my word there is something you don't see everyday. Also, what is up with the dog acts this year, they are not as good but the best for me tonight have to be the Oxford group (Out of the Blue) Haha would love to have them for my brithday...And the Scots guy who sang Children's TV songs like the Teletubbies and the Wombles. Just fabby! Come on Ed you did the Teletubbies proud!

However, I did prefer last nights show. It had the Welsh guy Jay Worley who is like the Welsh Michael Buble therefore I love him. His version of Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" Cannot stop playing the song and I thought, well, since I haven't done Song of the Day yet, I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone. So for Song of the Day it will be Jay performing "Use Somebody" :) Love it!

Is today's world all about grades and exams?!

To get a job now you need to have a fancy degree and have travelled around the world trying to win the fight over poverty. Fair enough it is good to have qualifications and degrees in your pocket and had some work experience. But, today we are swamped with work and exams and have no time just to enjoy life. You only get one shot at life and we are too busy stuck in offices and schools kissing everyone elses butts.

I applied for a job (not going to mention which company) but the job I applied for was a simple part time job and descent pay...HOWEVER...you had to have perfect grades, work experience and everything else under the sun. I'm sorry but the job was not serving the Queen and trying to fight terrorism. It was a simple customer assistant job and they were expecting this straight A kiss ass person for the job. Obviously companies need some standards but employing perfect people is not always going to make the company successful. If I go into a shop, I don't want to be served by this posh, snotty person who thinks they are better than me because they have a degree. I want someone that is friendly and can answer any questions I may have. I know, I'm ranting on but it bugs me because they expect so much from people and every exam I go into I think, is this going to get me a job or will I end up working in Asda for the rest of my life? Hey even Asda are wanting people with degrees. What next? You can't walk into a shop without having your certficate from Edinburgh University saying "Butt Kisser 2011". I'm not wanting to turn into the posh kids I see uptown with their designer clothes with their Daddy's credit card in their snake skin purse. I'm keeping my dignity and hey if I don't get straight A's at least I can hold my head up high and say "hey I did my best!" Some of the most famous and smartest people in the world left school with no qualifications and achieved their dream.

...And breathe. That's my rant for today. Let's see what else can I complain about

Song of the Day #8

The ball is still rolling and there is a clue to who is today's artist for Song of the Day.

It is the fabulous Adele. This London gal is tough yet gentle, and has a voice of an angel. There are so many songs that I love from both her albums 19 and 21 but I decided to go for the one that always gets my foot tapping and unfortunately I know all the words and always sing it in the shower in the morning. Haha

Here is "Rolling in the Deep"
