My beginnings - aka "Spartans Prepare for glory!!"

Hello Again Bloggers , Viewers,  Friends and all generally welcome again to Joey The Blog
Today's blog comes again from me reflecting after a really good chat with people and this idea came to me today from a chat from friends Emilie and Debbie , so thank you guys today was awesome in so many ways.

I thought I should reflect on even though now I am not at my top or best form at the moment , how I got to here and how far I have come to stand where I am now, these are sorta my beginnings.

Here is something I should tell people which some people know, some people don't and it surprises both either way :

I have now Borderline Aspergers Syndrome

It affected me more as a child but still has lingering affects even now but I have took steps and built myself up to over come it, for those who don't know aspergers syndrome it is a hard mental illness ( if thats right term for it ) to describe, there is a wide spectrum of aspergers and viewed more as social handicap ( again i hope these are right words to choose ) generally people with aspergers find it hard talking to other people usually seeking solitude or only comfort / company in form of one or two people. Though they can be quite clever picking up certain skills or knowledge quickly making them quite a intelligent person but will also struggle to understand other things. 

As said its hard to explain I mean i didn't gain any confidence or my knack of making friends until I went to college at age of 16  and when I was younger I picked up my knowledge and skill of math when I was younger very quickly along side science ( specifically physics ) but anything to do with english , I found it very hard to grasp and still do on occasion. 

But when I went to junior school , I and my parents were told that I'd be lucky to learn little bit of math, little bit of english and science just enough to get by in life..... 

I am currently working on a course that is allowing me to go back to university for second time which will be for a course I adore, I am viewed as quite knowledgable , loved by all my friends in my social circle ( which is bigger then I ever  ) , I have performed in front of hundreds of people for acting and comedy , I get paid for doing close up magic and I have done stuff that many people take a lifetime to accomplish. 

I have done all of this even though at a young age I was told I was gonna fail so guess what ...... fuck that haha I am going to go further then before I will always do so because I refuse to lose. 

One thing I love is that at this moment , to how much my friends have been there for me and my ability to still solve their issues even when I am at my lowest point :') thank you guys , you all mean world to me. 

I truly am a believer in this and been nice that they all want to stand for me, but I stand my ground when I say I would gladly die for any of my friends but I don't want them dying for me. But thats me, I will stand for my friends because that who I am , I will always make others happy over my own happiness.

I sorta unsure how to wrap this blog post up because I am still in my flux even though I've had a good day , I still have that little bit of emptiness in me , so I will leave you on these couple of little points 

Firstly people - http://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/you-will-never-see-me-fall  - have a look at this poem , its a brilliant one and one think all should read and live by

secondly - http://www.whitedovebooks.co.uk/inspiration/poems.htm - this is a good site, great couple other inspiring poems but check out if by kipling its amazing 

thirdly and last , I am yet to give up and it may take me a while to stand up again but I wont lose yet, even if all odds are against me I opened with Spartacus because that man did so much even when all was against him the most famous sorta story of his , is him taking 300 spartans and fighting against overwhelming odds of persians , ( check out the real history its quite cool ) but if you've seen the film you understand what I mean about one man taking a stand and making such a huge impact.

Thats what I feel I have done and what I have accomplished since a very young age to now, look at me better then ever and Im no where near ready to stop yet.... so then 

SPARTANS - PREPARE FOR GLORY - WHHHOOOOOOO

Best regards

Peace and love

MInd Power - Your Brain &Thoughts

Hello again people of the interwebs, bloggers and fans alike

 I am writing this with about 5 hours sleep with me and one hell of a lot in my brain and one experience of a trip to london with people wooo, lets get crack on eh
This is basically an insight to your brain , its thoughts and your power of it all.

I am inspired to write this currently by Rachael Statham, Stacey Newsham, Georgia Murray, Emma Bratters, Sophie Mellor and Ella Mcnulty - so thank you guys for inspiring this.

Your brain is blessing and curse of a thing, I say this because you all give me insight into so much of my life, we have all had chats / talks about so much, we all have shared drink and had great and sad times in all , so you guys general rock, but you all know where I come from when the brain can be brilliant as much as it can be terrible.

I orginal started to think of this when Rachael said to me a quote about philosophy and life she believe it is suppose to be from Dalai Lama ( I couldn't find it)
But basically it is along the lines of :

If you can do something about something affecting you life do it, if not then you have no control and should not worry about it, for it is out of your control.

Me and Stacey found it amusing to no end that it took five minutes for Rachael to even start that quote XD, but it got me thinking that we all end up trapped inside the creativity of our own minds sometimes and make us worry or stress about so many things.

I believe that the mind is double edged sword it can be a powerful weapon for you to use and it can be a hard one to handle when your at darkest or hardest moments when it used against you by you ( if that makes sense well done me :) ) 

But why do we worry about small or no existence things..... generally because it matters to us and so how much we care about this thing or the impact it has on our life, if we can do something about it why not do it, if we enjoy something , embrace it, if its a bad impact on us, let us remove it.

We live but one life and our brain if used correctly and with motivation can make us great and powerful things and you are all people who help me, when my brain is against me and make me remember that I can use it to become just as awesome as you. I hope I do the same for you, you guys me a lot to me and thank you for this post because our brain is major part of who we are and how we function , and i know we all give each other the tools and tips to achieve greatness.

Train your brain daily guys, solve problems, read books, keep it strong because it will help in the long run

right im off to finish about two lots of work XD and catch up with sleep.

Thank you all and see/speak soon people 

peace and love

your man in the hat
