Life and what we do with it.

You know. It has occurred to me in the past few months: especially after the recent school R.E. topic of euthanasia and a talk with a good friend of mine, that suicide seems to wrap around you in life once you hit the age of about 16 or so. I have found that during my course of life that many people who I deem close to me or that I know well have been involved in self harm or suicide attempts. So far thankfully none have done permanent damage to themselves or killed themselves but it really makes you think about life. When I think about  I had never heard of many things like this around me until two days before my 16th birthday which to be honest was pretty shit to learn about then that someone really close to me had made an attempt on their own life. And I'll admit I struggled but it has given me a better mechanism to cope with it. Not saying that I particularly like the idea of it but now when I hear about these cases I found that I can try to help and on a few occasions has helped someone a lot with their problems. I don't consider myself a therapist just a friend with listening ears and wide open arms. It seems that even people who I don't really talk to much confide within me some of their feelings at different times in their life when they feel a need to talk to someone and I have been a good emotional outlet but I just wish that there was more that I could do for people who feel that such drastic measures are necessary. Anyway kind of a sad post today not exactly in the brightest mood but yeah stuff happens, anyway guys read and comment if you want. :)

Hello World

Hello to everyone, ;D decided to make a blog about... well everything and anything to be honest. School, work, hobbies, projects and anything interesting that may have happened. So basically a blog about life and how I live it. Of course I'm going to exclude some things that you guys may not want to know about ;) or that other's may not want others to know about but you know you can't really blame me for that sorry to disappoint you on that one so yeah let's see how this goes.

Anyway first off a little about myself. I'm a teenage boy heading in to what a modern society calls manhood and I have a very interesting view on life as we know it. I do not believe in any majestic or mythical power but if dragons were real I reckon that would be awesome. I enjoy my gaming like any teenager who's interested in computing and find it a way to escape the humdrum of everyday life. I like to read. I'm fairly average at school and I enjoy drama, music and painting. My latest hobbies include programming, warhammer and minecraft. Thank you Notch. :) And last but not least I like to use emoticons as you probably are aware of by now.

Anyway that's pretty much sums up the first blog... not sure how many views this will get but hey I'm not here to focus on that. I'm just here to talk to anybody who will listen.

Probs need to get a better profile picture but I will get on to that later.
