They think I'm crazy...


...and I totally agree. There has been a crap load on my mind, hence all the blogging. So I am going to write about the next thing thats on my mind... you don't have to sit here with me and read it... it's cool... but you know.... you may enjoy it...... maybe. So here's the topic, Bravery, well that's not actually the title but it's sort of the best way to describe it. So for me, confidence isn't really high, I am great when with random people because I know there is a high chance that I will never see them again, so it doesn't really bother me but when I am actually with people who's opinion I care about, I freak out! That's why my friend's know me as 'Mr. Awkward'. Also I don't do well in situations when neverous, for example, the last girl I asked out... I nearly passed out, and threw up... I didn't which was good but I had to sit down after.


So something just hit me, as I have stated over the last couple of posts, I am leaving school, forever. And what legacy do I leave behind? What have I done that is so special? The guys who will be remembered are those who actually took the chances that was given to them.

So I am going to do it, even if I look stupid... I am going to swallow my fears and do everything that I know in my heart is right, for me, it's no longer about living for living but for living for what is right but most importantly, standing up for what's right.

a man called Captain Joe Kittinger. In 1960, climbing into a foil balloon, Captain Joe ascended 32 kilometers into the stratosphere. And then, armed only with a parachute, he jumped out. He fell for four minutes and thirty-six seconds, reaching seven hundred and forty miles per hour before opening his parachute five kilometers above the Earth. It had never been done before, and it's never been done since. He did it just because he could.

So my dear Brother's and Sister's, Throw yourself out of your foil balloon, everyday. Why? Because you can...

The Future is ours...


The Future... bam! A big topic indeed. This was the post I was originally supposed to write before the other one but saved it as a draft because I felt the other was more important at the time. The title is pure, 100% cheesetastic silly string, right? I love it. So with this being my last year in school, the future is on my mind... alot. I was scared because I didn't know what the future held for me but I realise now that not knowing what the future brings is a good thing, as I can make it what ever I want, I get to be the author of my own book.


I have realised what I am in the past year... a waster... fact. haha. And yes, a waster to what you see as a someone who wastes their school time, grades and doesn't get a job or really care what they do. I am. but I live the aspects I love to the full like fun, friends, love, passion. See I waste the things that seems like waste to me but grow on the things I feel is important, as at the end of the day, we die and are quickly forgotten.

So at this time in my life, I feel I have the world in my hands, anything is possible. I know that this will not always last but for now I am just dreaming of what could be real so soon. A family that love me, the wife I will rush home everyday just to see, the kids I will raise and love for being them, for celebrating with them in their proud moments and being there in their not so proud, the small house that's far too small for us all but we'll love it like a family member, telling my grandkids that 'touch phones were all the rage back in my day' and closing my eye's for the last time knowing that my life was never restricted by 'my abilities' or 'grades', I lived it and ran the race, I am done.

I am not worried for the future. God is here and that is the greatest comfort I need.

The Shape of my heart.


I had started a post already but I decided to do this one instead for now as it's closer to my heart. Recently I have been thinking about the future... alot. Also the other day I was taking my friend home and we are very close (level 5 on the bro scale) so we have been having really deep conversations and to be honest, it melted my head so much but it's made me think and realise what love means to me and I thought I would share that. I first must state that what love means for me, it can not be described by words but only by seeing, feeling and doing. I once felt the greatest love I knew I would ever feel, from my Father. He loves me so much and I am grateful for this. His love is everlasting and surely fills. I was asked today, 'was I a Christian?' and my answer was 'I am loved by Jesus and I love him but through my lifestyle I wouldn't call myself a Christian'. Again this made me think, the thing that was keeping me and that everlasting love apart was my lifestyle, the way I chose to live.

The next part of love for me is the love that we feel, we all feel it and we all know what it is even if we feel it for the first time or the millionth time. I talked to my friend about 'love at first sight' which I believe in but not when we look at them for the first time. I am talking about seeing someone for who they are, what they stand for, their passions, and their fears... seeing them for the first time for who they are. Although we don't see this love but feel it instead.

There was this film I went to see a couple of years ago, it was really bad, so bad I can't even remember the name of it but at the end, this man said that 'if you never give up, you never loose' or something like that. The fact is, if you feel that love for someone and you'll do what ever it takes, well... do what ever it takes, never give up because love is a great thing. People are stupid, plain stupid, we need to be shown the love we have for each other, that's why love through action is important.

Love is a great thing but our love for each other is only a fraction of the Love of God.

There is so much more I can write but I'd rather not.

I will leave with this though, love is a smile and a hug, love is that really weird feeling you get, it's still there during the hard times but most importantly you know more about love than you think, for you Father has made you to be loving people.

The Jester


Yo yo yo, I'm back for some more blogging, that's right. Well there are many topics I would like to discuss in this post, these are; finishing my Moving images arts coursework, giving up facebook, changing up my mac dock and doing my first project in Adobe Illustrator.


So I have finished my Moving Images arts coursework, which I am really happy about. Now I just got to do my ICT coursework which should be a breeze... I hope.

Yes... I did it... I gave up Facebook for a couple of weeks as its just plain bad. It feeds on our time, imagination and builds up our anxiety so I am taking it out of my life for a while. It's only been two days and I'm struggling but I have not been on yet. I have taken some measures, I have deleted the Facebook App on my phone (main source) and deleted it from my Internet browser. If I feel that I can't stay off it, I am going to get a friend to set the parental controls and block it with their own custom password. I am going to do this! As I have done this I have been tweeting more on Twitter and actually doing useful things with my time which takes me to my next two points.

I have updated my Mac dock and I must say, it's looking pretty slick... yes I did just use the word slick... hey, at least its better than groovy.... So I used two programs to do this, the first was to help with the dock panel and it's called 'Dock Library' which is a free download at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/26972/dock-library and then added themes by downloading at http://leoparddocks.com/Browse_Leopard_Docks_Designs.php. This is all free and I would recommend this program and website if you want to change your dock panel. The next thing I did was change the icons and I used a quite popular program to do this. It's called Candybar, which I must say is a great tool for changing icons and has basic tools for the dock panel aswell. With this program I was able to change the icon for Safari, Mail, iTunes and Final Cut Express. I was sooooo happy to change the iTunes icon because I flippin' hate it! And I changed the Final Cut express icon to the final cut pro icon because it looks so much cooler. Candybar can be downloaded for a 14-day free trial which I am currently on but you can buy it for $29 (about £18) which I am considering to do.

So because I can't go on Facebook I started to play about with Adobe's Illustrator CS4 which I downloaded but never really used. I used it to do some 'vector art' as they call it and created the front page for my Moving images arts coursework. I must say after working with it, Illustrator is a pretty sweet program, especially when creating from scratch, although I did add a texture overlay in Photoshop but everything else was quickly created in Illustrator. The final product is the picture by the way.

Well thats all I have to say now.

Bye,

Wilson Lynn

Those will be the best memories

Well as you can see, I gave the look of the blog an update, pretty groovy right? Yes... I did just use the word groovy. Not a lot has happened in my life since my last blog and this post won't be as intense as the last one. My life has the routine button activated at the moment, my week has consisted of: Wake up, drive to school, watch Thomas the tank engine, not really do any work, distract friends from work so I don't feel so bad about my own, lunch, stay after school to do the work I haven't done, drive home, go on Facebook and bed. Repeat.

This will hopefully stop though as my Moving Images Arts has to be in tomorrow so I will be able to get out more. For example, I am going to see Iron man 2 on Saturday..... I have spent too much time in school.


The last couple of weeks I have been having great 'banter' as they say, from hanging out with my matey's and it's been good craic. We are all panicking because it's our last year and we need the grades to do this and that but we have so much work still to do so we know were screwed. At the start everyone was sorta down about it but we are starting to see the funny side to it. Don't ask me what is the funny side to it as I have yet to be able to explain it but if I had to some it up now, it would be "were pretty bad at this whole life thing, aren't we?"

In case of fire


Well, that's another hectic week over. It's been a bit crazy, I must say. Although I did get to watch Thomas the tank and friends this morning. In school, because it's our last couple of weeks, we have been getting pictures and been given questionnaires about our time in school and its made everyone think and discuss the stuff thats gone down in the past two years; the good and the bad. It's been kinda nice reminiscing about the past event's like the pre-formal, Jonny's party, the night we stayed up to do coursework and many others. I have realised that in these last two years, I have never laughed, cried and peed my pants so much in my life and I have enjoyed it. I have made so many friends and I would like to say that these friendships will last forever but instead I'll say our friendships will last the course, wether that be a year or 50 years. I will never forget those who loved me for who I was, and who I loved for being them.

It feels like 'an end of an era' sorta thing but instead its just a new chapter. I am really scared of what the future brings but so what. I recently read a friends blog there and he wrote about a death of a friend who was in his teens. He then went on to explain that life is greater than numbers on a page, and this is true. It has really inspired me to do what I want to do, not what others say. My life is 17 years overdue and it's only by the mercy and grace of God that I am still here, so I say friend, go out and live your life, eat, drink, get married and be merry for this world's epilogue is about to conclude.

Peace,

Wilson.

Rules don't stop me


Well well... It seems like it's that time again. The time in which I blog once more. Right now I have never been so stressed and tired in my life. The work is being piled on and to be honest, all I want to do is nothing, just chill really. Procrastination is at its best right now, I have coursework for tomorrow but instead I have watched My name is Earl, the big bang theory and how I met your mother, and right now I am writing this so not much of an improvement.


A lot of stuff has happened in the last week or so which at the time I said 'I should blog about this' but I never did. To be honest the highlight of my week has been going to school in the morning and chillin' with the guys and watching scooby doo... oh and I made an awesome pot noodle earlier... it was pretty rad.

Well I am going to bed, G'night.

Peace,
Wilson.

(Bam! Check out that old school photo as well!)
