Well as you can see the site has had a revamp. I decided to go with this layout instead of making my own which was something that I don’t usually do. I suppose before it was my pride getting in my way of using a theme that of which someone else had made. But it’s here now and I couldn’t of done it any better of myself. In the next couple of days new music reviews will be up and new movies will be added to the list.

But what I’m really wanting to write about tonight is the fact that in less than an hour I will of reached the age of 20. Now usually it’s the 21 thats a big deal but to me an end to your teen years is something. Well for one now the excuse of “I’m allowed to do (whatever it is thats wrong) because I’m a teenager” is no longer an option, but its also the feeling of moving on in your life I find is the next big step. As I realized that it was only an hour left till my birthday by some sort of fluke I was listening to Colin Hay’s song “Waiting For My Real Life To Begin”. This song was on a Scrubs episode, I can’t remember the name of the episode but it just fits the ending perfectly. In the end the scrubs cast sing it but it originally comes from Colin Hay. But what I’m thinking more of than just Scrubs is that it couldn’t of came at a better time. It’s true we spend all of our teenage years chasing grades, the opposite sex, drinking and anything else that is within our own personal interest; but when it comes down to it our lives don’t really begin until we finish our education. I mean I know people who have gone through a lot in the past few years of my life and are ready to give up but when they realize that its only just the beginning of their lives they are more keen on living than anything.

When our education is over thats us out into the big wide world, the one where there are no bars to hold us in place, no teachers to tell you off and certainly no detention rooms for silly little incidents. Instead these teachers are the police who protect us, these detention rooms are prison and these bars have faded away and we are there to make what we feel is the right choice. I feel that as I’m coming out of my last year at University next year that they don’t really brace you for the real life. Sure schools brace you for student Life but theres still so much more than we will ever know. When we leave education thats us just properly learning about our lives, our jobs and our relationships with other people.
As Colin Hay writes in his song “I’m waiting for my real life to begin” and this is what I am waiting for.
