College
Thinking about giving college a second go, not sure what college to go for right enough but we shall see.
Not Nineteen Forever
Sitting up here with my iPod just thinking about life and that.
I've struggled to find a job since I became unemployed in May, probably down to a mixture of it being difficult to find work and me not being motivated enough.
I mean, i'm not a dummy but i'm not the sharpest tool in the box either and if I can't even get a job as a mailroom assistant, what hope have I got. Sometimes I feel like picking admin at college was the biggest mistake I made with my life and not the wasted years at school after all.
Flipside of that is is that if I hadn't gone to college and done admin I wouldn't have gotten my Higher in English, which is the best thing that I have on my CV.
I deeply regret not going back to get my HNC in Admin, I try not to let on that my parents were right mostly because I believe that I have to be right like all of the time, but deep down I know that they were and I feel like I have really let myself down. At present I am looking to go back to college with an aim of doing something good and getting out the house because this unemployment is driving me mad, only thing stopping me doing that is my Jobseekers allowance I just don't know if I would get a bursary for the course.
Moving away from my not-so-rosy garden of academic excellence if you can even call it that and onto something a bit more personal.
I really liked this girl a while back and deep down I thought it was love, she was the first girl I actually liked, I was 16 and she was 15 at the time. We started out friends but then my feelings grew and grew. After just one year at our college she left and I stayed on to do my HNC where I met another girl who was just as nice as the previous one but myfeelings for the older one got in the way and I ended up rejecting her advances, weird huh?
We got back in touch around a year later and we met up and hung out a few times and it seemed like things would go well, which they were. I was coming to the end of my 2nd year at college and with my final exams approaching I was putting thoughts of them aside for this girl and the thought I might finally be able to get this girl and me going places. Bad move.
I failed and although we got close enough for her to give me my first kiss I still messed up and the way it was between me was exactly that - a past participle.
I'm over her now right enough and we remain friends, but the whole thing taught me something about life - there is no such thing as the perfect relationship and that even if you think that person is for you, you might not be for them. Pobodys Nerfect as the novelty hat says and thats a statement that rings true.
What I thought was love was just lust. I put that one down to age and inexperience.
Now I've moved on and stopped feeling sorry for myself over that episode of my life and I now have a group of friends around me, we have a laugh and we joke and I have plenty of time to find that someone. I'm not nineteen forever but i'm certainly not going to die tomorrow either. I also feel a lot better now that I've managed to blurt this out.
Now when Emma sees this she's going to give me hell for mentioning you know who :L
Peace and love,

Saturday post mortem
Yesterday was a great day but it carried several different and contrasting emotions before, during and after the game.
It started off with me rushing about silly for my bank card and having my dad bail me out after that I used some of the money to buy my breakfast which consisted of:
1 large bottle of orange Lucozade
2 Egg and bacon sandwiches
1 Packet of strawberry belts
Not the healthiest I know but I was low on fluids and sugar. Onto the bus and about an hour and a half into the journey my mates heard me on the phone and heard me mentioning that I didn't want Andy Barrowman to score for Inverness and they promptly started ribbing me =[. Moving on from that we finally arrived in Inverness and went to the Caley Social Club where they had a few drinks and I sat content with my bacon roll and chips.
The game itself was a bit iffy, Inverness has the first attack but nothing came of it. The game toed and froed for over half an hour until Liam Buchanan's cheeky backheel gave us the lead, cue massive celebrations. Just seconds later he did it again, this time firing a spectacular chip over the head of Ryan Esson and into the net from 25 yards.
But it was the third goal that really surprised us, Alan 'Archie' Archibald hasn't scored in the time he's been back at Firhill but on the stroke of half time he made a lung-bursting run into the box Liam had the ball squared it to him, Archie sold Esson a good dummy before finishing like a striker to make it 3-0 to the Jags at the break.
Above you can see me (furthest left, grey jacket) and my pals clearly overjoyed at Thistle's impressive finish to the first half.
The second half was something to maybe forget as Thistle in typical fashion not so much gave up but didn't show that quick fire draw that brought three first hald goals and Inverness who had been poor throughout took umbrage from their poor first half and Adam Rooney's penalty followed by a Richie Foran header to pull it back to 3-2 and thus rejuvanated the Highlanders. The ref added on 5 minutes at the end but to be fair with our players having to take sickness pills it seemed fair and it finished
Fake Thistle 2-3 Real Thistle
The night was a non-=event really, my pal came down and stayed the night because his mum and dad were away and he felt bit uneasy after some people were chapping his door. Onwards to next week with the return of Stu Murphy and the debut of Marc in his pink camoflage top.

Inverness preview
Tomorrow we head for Inverness, my first visit there is not one I would like to look back on fondly.
But in all honesty, from what I remember of that day, and there isn't a lot, we didn't actually play as poorly as the 3-0 scoreline would have you think.
But moving away from that and almost a year on we meet in the league for the first time since 2002 when we were also beaten 3-0. Thistle welcome back Liam Buchanan tomorrow after he missed last week's centenary game with Dunfermline due to his red card against Raith the week previous and although Thistle won comfortably against the Pars without their main man, there seemed to be something lacking about us going forward.
Fromn whats been said the home side may shuffle the pack tomorro0w given their midweek cup exertions against Motherwell with Andy Barrowman being a possible starter. Largely ineffective in the time he was on the park against us in the Alba Cup tie at Firhill, he still scored against us in the shootout that ultimately saw Caley through.
Its at times like this when you maybe start to get an idea of how the league is turning out, once everyones played 6 or 7 games and they don't have half the league to play you can see how it will pan out and, albeit with a couple of surprise names in Raith and Ross County up near the top, it's going to be like I predicted, a tight tussle between Thistle, Dundee and Inverness with Dunfermline not far behind and Queen of the South in the middle.
So onto tomorrow, early start for me so it's up at 6.30 AM then get everything sorted shower wise etc. then phone Mick and head up there then the bus into Glasgow and onto the coach up to Inverness for half 12. Good times!
Live long and prosper

Sparky update
Hey there people, just updating the blog.
I've pulled a muscle in my back right at the bottom above my backside, no dount down to my broken bed, makes me a bit apprehensive about going to the gym.
On Saturday i'm away to Inverness for the game. Been up there once before and we lost 3-0 on a pish day. We leave at half 9 so I need to get into Glasgow for at least 9 or quarter to. Ugh.
Moving slightly away from football, I've been given two jobs to apply for from the job centre - gonna get those apps away then after that its down to the Leisuredrome to hand in my gym membership doctors note.
Been talking to this girl of late, she's nice and a good laugh. I hope to meet her sometime, MSN has its advantages but at the same time it is so impersonal.

Breaking the tape
Over the past few months since I was unemployed I've not been myself but since I started thinking differently it's taken off and I put it down to my music. I've been listening to my iPod and Spotify a lot lately and a few songs have made me think about what I've been through and how I now feel.
Marc's getting over the hill top 20:
20. Working on a Dream - Bruce Springsteen - I'm a big boss fan and anything by him is bound to get the flowing whether its the fast, lively From Small Things Big Things One Day Come, which also appears on my top 20 to The River, which falls just short. This song just fills you with that belief and determination and that you can work on your own dream.
19. Digital Love - Daft Punk - Admittedly I am not a fan of electronic/dance music, but there are some aspects of Daft Punk that I love and this is my favourite song because of one line, "Oh I don't know what to do, about this dream and you, we'll make this dream come true"
18. Not Enough - Our Lady Peace - My favourite band's first of many appearances on this list. Not Enough is a song I have LOVED since I was quite young, mostly down to my love for wrestling [at the time] and Jeff Hardy, this song was used as his 'desire' promo theme years and years ago and the little bit where the guitar starts thumping and Raine belts it it's not enough repeatedly gets the blood flowing.
17. The End - The Doors - The slow, eery ballad that made the Doors famous is my favourite song of theirs. The soft, slow rhythm of the song coupled with Jim Morrison's deep, soulful vocals makes it almost enchanting. One can almost imagine Morrison talking to them in their sub-conscience. One for the lower points but certainly had to be included.
16. Jukebox Hero/Whole Lotta Love [Live 2005] - Foreigner - I love to air guitar and go mental at this song, it is loud, bangy and very cathartic to lose yourself in its energetic delivery.
15. Loch Lomond - Runrig - Never feel more Scottish when I have this song on. Happy times ^_^
14. Dirty Love - Thunder - I love this song, have done for a while. One of many songs that remind me of the first love that I lost.
13. Far Away - Nickelback - The favourite song of a girl I turned away because I didn't want to ruin our friendship, but then realised that was a really stupid thing to do.
12. Friends O'Mine - Bowling For Soup - Song that means more now than ever =)
11. Jump - Van Halen - More shouty, mental madness, this time from my favourite hair metal band
10. Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) - Bruce Springsteen - Felt something for this girl once and this song immediately took on a new meaning at the time, still love it anyway. Young lovers everywhere should listen to this song,
9. Song 2 - Blur - Thistle's goal song ^_^ One of the songs that makes me buzz - when at Firhill. Football is a big part of my life.
8. Forever Young - Rod Stewart - My favourite Rod Stewart song makes me realise that I haven't maybe ruined everything yet, best is yet to come.
7. Good Fucking Bye - Alkaline Trio - Song that took on a new meaning after my fall out with my first love.
6. Outlaw Pete - Bruce Springsteen - This is a brilliant, brilliant song. I could run out of superlatives for it it's that good. The song reads like an epic poem and just ranks as one of my all-time favourites.
5. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley - Heart-jarring, emotive and sheer brilliance - and thats just the backing track! Jeff's voice is one of the finest in music, he put his heart into every song and it's felt in this brilliant song which I always play when I want to relax.
4. Heaven - Bryan Adams - Song for my newer, happier times :)
3. Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen - Another Springsteeb song I could run out of superlatives for. I took after my Father in listening to him and again take after my Father in having this as my favourite song of Bruce's
2. Unwell - Matchbox Twenty - A song I hadn't even heard til earlier today! It just made me thinmabout all the stuff I've been through and how i'd come through it all.
1. All You Did Was Save My Life - Our Lady Peace - A song that I heard recently that means something further back. When the first love of my life effectively did save my life, not literally. I was going through hell and couldn't cope with unemployment and thought extensively about taking it. I didn't and this song sticks in my head to remind me of it.
Well, thats all folks hope you enjoy not reading (a)
