Most people we meet in everyday life have some idea about the direction they want to go in and the path they want to take. I have none I wing it so to speak all the time. I currently feel that my life and the projects in my life lack direction. That is why want to find a project that gives me a purpose of what I want to do , and where I go. This realization that my life lacks direction has gradually crept me on me as I recently read a newspaper article where it stated that a study had found that people who felt that their lives had meaning and where going in a known direction lived longer. So that is why I am going to think up a project that I can do that provides me with a sense of meaning and purpose and gets my life going in a chosen direction
That's all for today folks

My dyslexic experience
I have made a promise to myself to remember that I have started a blog so I will try and update it as often as possible.
Dyslexia has been a part of my life since I was about 7 years old and even before that I remember struggling with reading and writing in school. I didn't learn to read properly until I was 10 and I have always felt there is a huge gap between my peers and through out the course of my education.
When I was a child I thought having dyslexia was the most embarrassing thing in the world. So for a long time I tried to pretend that I wasn't dyslexia and didn't have a problem or need special help with my reading and writing. All through primary school I hated been taken out of class away from my peers to have help with my reading , writing and spelling.
When I got to secondary school they school initially did offer me help but I refused to have help in school. But my parents could still see that I was struggling with keeping up with my peers at school so they sent me to a tutor to help me with my spelling and reading. But I was still very embarrassed that I had to see a tutor to help me spell and read so I used to lie to my friend about where I had to be on Tuesday night after school. I stopped seeing my tutor when I finished my GCSE which I somehow passed. But I did have to work very hard just to get mostly C grade GCSE. Once I recall my English teacher being surprised that I had got a B in the English coursework as she knew that I had dyslexia and she asked me if I had done the coursework myself.
Then I started my A levels and somehow forgot that I had dyslexia and ended up getting 3 B's. Which at the time I thought was a breeze but I didn't realize how had I had worked to get the grades I did. So when I got to university and found myself struggling with all the readings and the coursework I finally stopped denying I didn't have a problem. Now at university is the first time in my life where I have come to understand that I have a problem which is not a burden. But something that I need help and support with. And is a part of who I am.
Having dyslexia is one of the reasons I have started a blog. I want to be able to clearly communicate what I am saying via writing as recently I have been thinking of becoming a journalist when I eventually graduate form university.
That is why I hope this blog will help me in learning how to write clearly so I can improve my writing skills which I will then be able to use in my university assignments and for a future career.
I just realized I confused had for made in the first line. Because I didn't proof read my bad.
My life is pretty much like a dyslexic man walks into a bra.
I still for ever make spelling and grammar mistakes on Facebook in emails and via text so I always have a fear that people won't grasp what I am trying to convay.
Hope this helps.

I forgot I started a blog
So I forget I started a blog.
I haven't even been what you would describe as busy because I am a student who only has to attend university 12 hours a week or less. So that is no excuse. So I've pretty much been wasting my time binge watching Tv shows ( If binge watching tv shows was an Olympic sport I would get the gold medal).
Carrying on with the Tv show theme , I have now decided that I am going give a quick review of my top 5 tv shows.
1. Breaking Bad-
Okay I know that pretty much everyone on the planet has watching this program. I don't know how people can't be sucked into the universe of Walter White (or heisenberg ). I personally think the character development in this show is great you get to see an ordinary guy transform from a mild mannered chemistry teacher into a big shot drug lord and the highs and lows he encounters along the way.
Also just seeing a caravan makes me think could that be a meth lab ???? You never know....
2. Heroes -
Your probably thinking why mention Heroes didn't that finish in 2010. Yes , yes it did is the answer to that. But I for one was very disappointing with the ending of Heroes there was so many questions that were left unanswered for me.
But it was recently announced that there will be a Heroes Reborn starting in 2015 and I for one can not wait. 3. How I met Your mother-
I didn't know if I was going to include this or the Big Bang theory as that is pretty good too. But how I met your mother won.
This show I found was BETTER than Friends yes I said it. I love the comedy in this at first I thought they are basically ripping off Friends but how wrong I was.
Barney Stinson is one of the best sitcom characters out there I reckon. Although I think how I met your mother is a great show that 9th season has not been brilliant but it is ending soon and I will be upset when it dose.
I would have been upset if I hadn't met Ted.
4. New Girl-
Zooey deschanel is brilliant. I am glad I get to see her on Tv every week. Everything with New Girl just works.
Also its a bit hipster and I like it.
5. Anything by Chris Lilley
I used to secretly hate Little Britain. But then I discovered Summer Heights High and it was bloody brilliant. Chris Lilley dose a great job of emphasizing the funniest characteristic of people and he dose it in such a convincing way I now believe that he is a 17 year old private school girl called Ja'mie.
Summer Heights High I think was his best creation as the characters in that were really memorable so I was glad that it was announced that he would be working on a show called Jonah based on one of his other Summer heights high characters.
Now he just needs to take on Mr G.
So that's all for today folks
and I will try and remember to actually update this blog.

The blogging world has beckoned
I'm not entirely sure what this blog will be about and no one will ever read it most probably and I will just be one of the countless hoards expressing some part of themselves on the world wide web. Maybe I'll just rant on this blog or maybe I won't as that my get on peoples nerves.
I don't know if people introduce new blogs or not ? Is that a thing ?
