This is the first time I've decided to write a blog using my phone and to be honest, being one of the few teens now still wrestling with their Nokia instead of the wonders of apple technology, I have little faith that this wont crash and burn.
I think I'm turning nocturnal. For the past week, I'm tired when I go to bed, but unable to sleep :( Not good for a irritable person, like myself, who screams SHUT UP to anyone vaguely probing in the morning. My idea of "vaguely probing" being "would you like tea or coffee?"
I've chosen this song from a cool group of musicians known as "Simple Minds". This song comes straight out of the 80's - I know, I'm abit of an 80's throwback born into the 21st century - and is the soundtrack to my favourite film of all time.
The breakfast club.
If you haven't had the privilege to see it yet, you know you're going to be in good hands when you hear it was directed by John Hughes. A director otherwise known for other wonderful 80's films like 'Pretty In Pink' and 'Ferris Bueller's day off'.
The breakfast club tells the story of five individuals, each representing classes/types in society, finding themselves understanding each other (and themselves) whilst in detention. It sounds like a really complex story but it really isn't. It's just a group of teenagers struggling with angst, whilst trying to have fun and make their mark on the world. Sound familiar?
It's interesting to see that despite backgrounds or experiences, we are all fundamentally the same. Somewhere we all crave love and acceptance and this is shown through the culmination of their full day trapped in high school. I cannot recommend watching "The breakfast club" highly enough.
"(Don't you) forget about me" opens the film with this poignant quote from David Bowie:
"...And these children
that you spit on
as they try to change their worlds
are immune to your consultations,
they're quite aware
Of what they're going through..."
It's all about acceptance and I don't think acceptance is ever craved more than at school. Unless you're confident enough in yourself to think "Yes this is me, I am what I am, nice to meet you".
Once again I never fail to find human phycology interesting.
Ah it's been a busy day... You travel to Nottingham to see a friend and find yourself in IKEA. To be honest I don't know what it is about that shop, but it makes me so happy. It's like "oooo...that bedding is so nice I should just get some more to happily sit in my cupboard". Mmm... Middle aged much?
Hope you're good,
