Ahhh...my favourite time of year....Halloween closely followed by Day of the Dead....
this year I will be carving pumpkins for my balcony to scare away the local youths and attract nice and fluffy spirits.....I will be drinking and celebrating with good friends....also planning a trip to the Crossbone Graveyard in Southwark to pay my respect to long gone ladies of the night...http://www.crossbones.org.uk/

Anarchy....
It has been a weird experience living in London during the riots. Whilst the scenes form Tottenham were shocking they felt somewhat remote for anyone outside that area. The day after I was barely aware of it but horrified to find out that it had all kicked off over a shooting.
It all became very real on the Monday when I was at home...

I hope the rioting ends soon. Nothing good ever comes of group violence like that. There's never a black and white answer as to why it happens--just a lot of questions.

xxxxObservations of 90's Teenhood..
Im pretty sure that every decade has its own guidelines to growing up. Being a teenager in the 80s must have been very different to being a teenager in the 90s. But what about it was different, was it just the clothes and music? Or is every teen the same no matter what the decade.
I dont know but i was...

Those who spent our childhood in the 80's and our adolescence in the 90s ... are indestructible!
If we survive these decades, we can survive anything: P
