saving the world

I've been quite thinky recently. For my course 'children and young people in society' I have to read a lot of things that say the world is doomed and we are killing our children and no one is happy and our nation is falling apart, it makes me a bit sad some times because it's a bit true, and I see a lot of messed up kids where I work.

I was reading this week about how awlful our current education system is and how bad our childrens spelling and grammer is and I know mine is really bad, but this week I heard a teacher say 'I've been inspirationed by indian music and I want to learn it you' I tryed to be a supportive suport worker, and nod and smile but I couldn't it was just too funny.

I feel like I am nearly at a point at which I know how I could save the world but not quite, my thought so far are that if everyone spent more time playing board games with friends and family that would at least slow down our society from meeting it's impending doom. I bought two board games from charity shops this week so I definatly feel like I'm doing my bit to save the world.

I wrote this blog attually a while ago, since then I have come up with a plan to save the middle east which I will share next time.

snow

I've decided today is my last day of being in my early 20s as tommorrow I am 24 and that is definatly mid 20s. I never really feel overly old or overly young because of the way your perspective changes as you grow up. for example I remember the first time I heard the abba lyric ' Dancing queen....something something...only 17' and thinking 'only 17! that's anchent'

Anyway I've had my midlife crisis already. I think that was when I was turning 14 or 15 and I realised I couldn't wear orange jeans forever. I hated the thought of beeing older when I was younger because there was a definate divide between adults and children and having birthdays was like joining the enemy.

There has been a lot of snow recently, possible the longist lasting I have ever seen. It started on the day I had my driving theory test, which I went into town for and then couldn't get the bus back because all got cancelled. On the way back I passes some people having a snowball fight, who looked far to old for that kind of stuff but it turned out they were my friends and I was invited to join, by the new method of invitation that only aplies in snow: everyone thowing snowballs at your window.

On Wednesday I got the day off work after a long conversation with my boss who I eventually realised couldn't tell me not to come in but was trying to subtly tell me, to tell him ,I couldn't come in. but I really wasn't getting it.

I went on a trip to sefton park with other people who had got the day off. I managed to put my foot in what I percived to be a frozen lake, straight after laughing at Jon for doing the same.

p.s I've discoved the perfect murdor wepon: a pointy icycle because it will melt away leaving no evedence.
