Pointless Rebellion and life choices

  Throughout our life we are given guides and constant instructions on how too do things. They often occur within cooking, jobs, school, swimming pools, gyms and anything with health and safety risks... - Like a big step that is marked with 8 strips of black and yellow tape instructing too "Mind your step." This is all too make sure that you can see it a mile away and prepare yourself for this step that people may not easily see, even if it may be in the direct sunlight and lead up into a doorway that would look odd if it was floating a metre off the ground.

   People often rebel, it's obvious, isn't it? Living by rules for most of your life, you want too break the conditions and not think about the conciquences later in life or in the next second. A way of feeling free and a posibility of having power or recieving respect? It's all debatable and it's down too how you think and feel about things.

"Life's all about fun and games until someone else is put in a position or in jeopardy."

Life is like baking a cake.  - Apologies if that sounds cheesy, I find it's the easiest way too describe something.

Flavours - Friends.

Basic Needed and Wanted Ingredients - Family.

Mixing and Blending and Toppings - Your Life Choices and Experiences.

Once Finished - Your Life within a cake, it's original and unique, made the way you wanted it, with minimal instructions.

By not following instructions and making your own twists on things is a form of feeling free. You can have the flexibility of making changes that could improve the end result or change it for the better. If it doesn't work out the way you think it should then you start over and or work with it until it is the desired result or better.

Working with what you have and not what you need is a way of opening your mind too new posibilities, enjoy.

Just a short blog.

"Give someone one of your smiles, it may be the only sunshine they see all day, it can change the world, maybe not the whole world, but their world."

  Smiling not only makes you feel better as a whole, it effects other people. Seeing someone smile is contagious in some cases and can just make you feel that little bit 'Lighter' emotionally. 

   I understand when you take a step outdoors into the typical English rain that soaks your clothes and just dampens your spirits you can often think; "Seriously, why me?" Instead, roll your shoulders back, hold your head high and think "What's the worst that can happen?" and stay optimistic, it's only as bad as you can make it out to be.

   Life may not be all fun and games but I'm sure if you try and be happy or positive, those moments where it wasn't so great will slowly melt away into nothing. I can guarantee that not everything will be a smooth sail but you have to have the challenges in life to make you appreciate what surrounds you everyday. 

Love and life. So, live your life with a smile.

Photography.

   In life we see things and some of us will get out our phones and probably take a picture. Updating Instagram with this 'wonderful memory.' Half of the time I hear that most of the people update a picture of their dinner. Sometimes people will go into a restaurant and snap pictures of their latest plateful of bangers and mash decorated with a "Sprinkle of rocket."
   Photography is a chance to create memories and inspire people. It's a form of art that can be shared with millions. The reason why I love photography is because of the effects people use, the focus and the dedication to getting a photo that they would maybe advertise to others for them to view. 
   I can't quite get to grips with the cameras like Hasselblad H4D-60, Canon 600D or the new NIKON. However some people just contain the knowledge on how it works and instantly snap away. 

  CLICK. CLICK. CLICK.
   Photography could be a way too keep memories digital or not. It may also be a way to show people how something as simple as an drop of water or a stream can have such an impact, and enlightening them on this power. It gives people a way of seeing life in a different light, and capturing something that sometimes the human eye can't process quick enough. 
  I would personally see this as an art, something that you can use too express yourself and in some cases manipulate onlookers emotions too, it gives people a chance to understand or view things in this new light. - In a good way.
   I know a little about  photography but I just think that if you have the talent to produce something that could inspire others you should grasp it in your hand and build from it. 
   Even something so simple as someone smiling could change spectators emotions.
   A picture paints a thousand words.

 The photos I used were from one of my friend's websites, it is worth looking through. He has a lot of skill with his camera.

Films.

   We as a nation and a society are easily amused, well.. sometimes.
   If not by failing contestants on BGT that can possibly make you feel uncomfortable and cringe worthy, football or a good ol' chat&banter, films seems like the last resort in my eyes.
 Films.
   So sometimes films are the main thing that we turn too for comfort. In hope that it will keep our minds occupied from the boredom that was once swallowing us whole.
   Sitting down with loved ones or the family watching a classic like Grease or Pitch Perfect. - I have too say, I'm slightly obsessed with both films, knowing most of the words to the songs off by heart... true dedication. - Sitting with friends scaring each other with a scream when there's a tense bit, then actually screaming because there was a loud noise or a face popping out of nowhere. Cuddling up to a partner and watching the soppy romances... that are just so repetitive you just need too look at the cover to know what it's about.
     I personally love films, I love the classic films like The Lion King, Toy Story, Lilo and Stitch, Winnie the Pooh. - As you could probably tell, I have a slight compulsion to watch Disney. I'm pretty sure everyone has a favorite Disney film, we've all grown up watching them and seeing the advertisements of the new and unique talking animals, monsters, people, children and scrat. 
Scrat and Ice Age.
   Scrat's the little sabre tooth squirrel, slightly delusional acorn-obsessed and dedicated partner of a nut. He is forever opening and closing the show of Ice Age with a world changing action. Without even murmuring a word other than his howls of pain when he is parted with his beloved nut, he shows us how innocent and enthusiastic if not, slightly depressed an animal can be. His pain I find humorous but in his eyes, it's traumatic. He spends his life forever devoted to his nut and often finds himself in ghastly situations that only his stubbornness gets him out of.

    Ice Age is almost one of my favorite sets of films. The random occurrences and well thought together plans for this unexpected "Herd" are the easiest way to make me smile. Maybe I'm just easily amused by the stubbornness of the animals or maybe I'm just generally a child at heart, take your pick. I'll leave it at that.
