Well, I guess I'd better update you on how I did...
I passed 14 GCSE's with grades in this order: A*, A*, A, A, A, A, A, B, B, B, B, B, C, C. I was quite disappointed really, I got B's in English literature and Geography and I thought I'd done a lot better in those subjects. Your results are really down to luck on that particular paper though; I got 3 straight A*'s in my Geography mocks just before the main exam. Damn.
Anywho, I'll be taking a couple more during evening classes next year - I'm aiming for Spanish and German GCSE's mostly next year, but I'm considering a few more aswell as/instead of those. Ideas?
For the record, I almost failed music! Haha, my favorite and strongest creative point and I only managed a C. Oh well.

A New Chapter in my Life ~
This is a huge week for me. For starters, I get my GCSE results on the 25th. They pretty much decide my potential future in education, I'm looking for at least 6 A*/A's. Without them I'm slightly doomed.
Secondly, I quit my band yesterday. After playing bass guitar with two different line-ups over the course of two years, I've decided I've had enough. I love being with those guys, and I love to make music - but I feel as though bigger things are calling out for me. I might pick up guitar at a later date and rejoin them as a rhythmn guitarist, but for now I'm on a break.
So, I start College in two or three weeks, and I'm looking forward to it. No more having to share an institution with illiterate, incompetent fools and no more school uniform. Oh yes.
Quitting the band means I'm going to have more time on my hands. To fill the void, I'm learning Spanish, Swahili and Esperanto (I know, crazy right?), and I'm going to be doing some volunteering and fundraising - This charity ain't gonna start itself. It'd be nice, like, but it won't =(
If my extra-curricular activities go well in my first year, I'm going to drop out before the second. I'll still get my AS Levels which I can continue at any time, and I'll be able to follow my dreams full time.

Let's see how much the UK wastes every year, shall we?
This latest post was inspired by my grandparents, both of whom waste nothing, are grateful for everything and respect everyone and everyone's needs. I've been combing the internet for reliable sources of information regarding what the UK throws away every year financially. Oh and by the way, the US is apparently even worse for this.
To convert the amounts into your national currency, Google (number) GBP to (your country's currency [like this >]) Indian Rupee. Google itself should give you a very accurate number to many decimal places. For example, at today's exchange rate 1b Pounds is 75.25b Rupees.
Current sub-total: £84,486,000,000 yearly. I will update as I find more sources.
FOOD - £10,000,000,000/6,700,000 Tons

Current sub-total: £84,486,000,000 yearly. I will update as I find more sources.
FOOD - £10,000,000,000/6,700,000 Tons
More than half of the 6.7 million tons of food that is thrown away each year - enough to fill Wembley Stadium eight times - is untouched and could have been eaten, according to the Government-funded Waste and Resources Action Programme. Researchers found that £1b of that (£1,000,000,000) is still "in date". More than half (£5,000,000,000) is untouched and edible. - Source 1
Needless Luxuries - £74.45b (£74,450,000,000)
Some of you will dispute the fact that they're needless and say they're important economic or social aspects of life, but I disagree. They're needless.
Alcohol - £55b (£55,000,000,000)
Spent on buying booze: £30b (£30,000,000,000) - Source 2
Although the alcohol industry is beneficial to the economy by turning over £30b annually, that money would only come from elsewhere if the workers in the industry gained new, more useful jobs.
Drinking related costs: £25b (£25,000,000,000) - Source 3
Cigarettes - Almost £18b (£17,950,000,000)
Cost to National Health Service - £1.5b (£1,500,000,000) - Source 4
While that page is very outdated, the stats won't have changed for the better - that much I know.
Spent on cigs - £16.45b (£16,450,000,000) Source 5 (£7 for a pack of 20, divide by 20 makes 0.35p per cigarette, multiply this by 47b [Source 6])
I do have a counter argument for the tobacco industry though, and that is the fact that is the main source of income in many developing nations, and so taking it away would be devastating to them. I put smoking on here just as a value. However, I would welcome any discussion on the possible alternatives to tobacco crop.
Cosmetic Surgery - £1.5b (£1,500,000,000) - Source 7
This is only morally right in the case of disfigurement, and I have no respect for many celebrities purely for this reason.
Recyclable But Thrown Away
Aluminium - £36m (£36,000,000) Source 8
There is a lot more thrown away which should be recycled, but I'm running out of time so I'm going to have to leave it there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In comparison, Africa's total external debt totals $300b, or £180b (Source). So, imagine if the whole world stopped wasting common goods and stopped paying for stupid things. Theoretically, The US and The UK could wipe off that amount in one year, but we all know that's damn impossible. If only... But the whole world? The rest of Europe, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Australia, NZ, Canada etc' could surely do something of immense benefit.
There are, of course, arguments against everything. Please feel free to discuss below,

British Society, Aint it Great?
No, not really. It was, but that was in excess of thirty years ago. Times do, infact, change. For example, the British were once considered some of the most hard-working and proud people in the world, and now our unemployment and crime rates are at an all-time high. We have youths who can't say a single phrase without the use of the words "fucking", "sket" or "whore", if you will excuse my French. It's these same youths, or chavs, who stand outside the Jobcentre every week in Barnsley to collect their dole (benefits) money. The idea of benefits in the UK is that if you're unable to find work for any reason you have a short-term aid while you look for new employment. This is so abused.
Ask all the guys outside the Jobcentre if they're actually looking for a job, and a good 75% will tell you "nehw meyt, why would a'?" without a moment's hesitation. This makes me so mad when they spend a huge portion of taxpayers money on cigerettes, alcohol and illegal drugs, when in other countries families manage 1% of what these apes receive for free. In my opinion, limit unemployment benefits to six months unless the individual has a valid reason not to work. Or, at least slash the stupid amounts they receive.
On another issue, the British Police are not tough enough. Take the recent English riots as a great example; the Police were swarming the rioters, and still the arseholes felt no fear for the cops. That's because the Police walk up to you, hit you with a stick and repeat on another perpetrator. Where are the tazers, bullets and water cannons? I mean, they only have to use them as a last resort, but then at least the public would be better defended and the criminals would have some respect for the law.
Also on the justice system and the riots, a 20 year old abusive man got one day in prison for smashing shop windows, setting bins on fire and swearing at Police. But then there was another man with no criminal history, no abusive traits and a quite decent life who was very thirsty, saw that a shop had been looted and went in for a bottle of water. Come on, I know you shouldn't steal, but 6 months for some water when that first guy got 1 day?!?! What. The. Priorities; mixed up.
So what else is wrong with the UK? Well, we also happen to have a rich, pompous snob in power who knows nothing about the working class, being brought up in a protective bubble somewhere between the middle and upper classes. "Let's cut the budget on this", he says. "Let's cut the budget on that", he says. This and that are too commonly resources and services that are immensely important to the working class. "I know", he says, "let's cut public transport, public education and and social services - cos, well, let's face it - I don't need any of that stuff". I like how he hasn't cut the budgets for insignificant pleasures such as government-owned country clubs, golf courses and summer camps for rich kids (yes, we do have some here).
Now, what else is wrong with my country? Well there's false economy as well, I guess. But hey, that's worldwide. We just have it really bad here.
England used to take pride in engineering and producing some of the finest quality goods in the world, now we pay extortionate amounts of money for something that's likely to break before you've even had chance to use it properly. Nothing's built to last anymore. Whereas before, the ideology was "let's add this part to add stability and extend the product's life, thus improving society", now it's "let's take this part away to save money and hope it breaks so they have to buy another, further increasing our profits and filling my greedy pockets". I'm all up for Capitalism, but what went wrong with it? Can't we try and fix it? Please? Come on, don't make me go all socialistic =(
There's other things too, but this was just an article written to get my thoughts on cyber-paper so I can look back later and reflect.

There are a lot of things I'd like to do with my life, and I'm sure there's a lot you'd like to do with yours. But how far would you stray from normality? I mean, are you adventurous or what?
Imagine a group of say 10-30 people travelling the world together, through forests, tundra and desert - walking the whole way. Imagine a self-built ship prowling the waves or a human-powered tour bus doing France to Mongolia. Imagine that I may or may not be slightly tipsy and/or shattered as I write this.
There are so many cool, adventurous things you can do. Infact, all the most exciting possibilities require no education, whereas the other, boring end of the spectrum asks for masters' degrees and doctorates. £150k/year? Sod that, I'll take £1k/year and a life full of adventure.
^ That, there. That be what I want to do. Travel, live off nothing, help people as I go using a charity I'm already part-way through establishing with my Kenyan friend. I'll spread the word of YFOST internationally, and good ol' Sam can oversee the projects he's already planned (he's a genius, by the way). I'll sort the funding issues and build up a reputation.
For now, I have nothing to say. So... tarrah!

Happy, happy, happy days! =)
So if you read my last post here you'll know of my, well, predicament. I was pretty convinced my girlfriend was going to leave me once I said "tarrah" and hopped on a 2 winged thing to Africa to do my humanitarian work. I've been sitting on it for months and it's been driving me frankly bonkers.
Anywho, I went and emotionally blew up in front of her today - as you do - and she held out her hand to me and just said "Me and you, together". She had a tear running down her cheek and smile that lit up the room, so I knew she wasn't having me on. In my mind I've played through every scenario I thought possible, and not one of them ended nicely. But it looks as though the scenario that really matters, will. Ohhh, Yipidipido!! :D
I have no real reason for telling any of you this, but I feel like I have to talk about it, it really has made my year. I could not have been any happier with the reaction she gave me. Sure, there were tears and awkward moments, but that just lets me know she's serious. It was just her hand, a statement and one very nice, passionate kiss. Yeah, yeah. Sad, I know... (You're totally jealous).
So that's it, me writing to let you all know it's 03:51am at the time of writing and I have Never been any happier than what I am now. Never has my future seemed so bright and full of opportunity, but to be honest, never have I even thought of it that way.
Yay for totally Bipolar me!!
On another matter, what are your opinions on mass immigration to the UK and US? I'm interested in what people think. You can comment here or use the common way of messaging me which is to drop me a bell on Interpals. http://www.interpals.net/al-le-gr-fi

One simply cannot win. Why do I even bother?
Note - I would make this "un-boring", but I see no point. I've already chopped huge parts out of it purely for the sake of not offending people. To be honest though, this is merely what I am thinking and I frankly don't give a monkeys whether it entertains you or not.
These are still early blogging days for me, nobody is really reading and I doubt that will change - that's how the world works: Right circumstances and you're loved, even if you have no talent, no organisation and none of your own opinions. But enough of that, down to business. My life... Dayum, it can suck...
If you've talked to me before, you'll know I'm big on charity, and I plan to co-found one. This world has many, many imperfections - and I want to fix some. I see the issues facing society through a unique, autistic lens - one that so commonly comes back to haunt me. All I have to do to make myself a completely depressed insomniate for nights on end is to think up a new problem, perspective or case of douchebaggery.
I've done things in the past that I regret to no end, but they're in the past and I cannot go and change them. Since I claimed back my own mind from the selfish fool that was controlling it, I've vowed to spend the rest of my life helping others. I weigh decisions on morality - who will benefit the most, and to what degree? So, I want to visit LEDC's (poor countries) or war-ravaged regions and carry out humanitarian work. Scratch that, I will do humanitarian work in deprived areas. I don't care if I rarely or never see my loved ones, I don't care if it puts my life in danger, and I don't care if I have to live in squalor. I will do it - the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. That is my philosophy and mindset, and it will not change.
I love a girl, I mean, I really love a girl. We've been together for 2 years, which at my ripe young age shows just how much she means to me. While I rightly do adore her, she is unfortunately less philosophical than myself. She wants a 'normal', domestic kind of life. She says she's fine with me sodding off for long periods of time, but I know she isn't. Hell, she's too blumming normal to even let me talk to other girls without getting jealous. When I leave for Kenya (initial preference, by the way), she's going to leave me. It's set in stone, and there's sod all I can do about it. It will tear me up, I will love her for the rest of my life and I will regret leaving forever. That doesn't mean I won't go - I feel it is my duty.
Even now, I have a hobby of talking to people from other cultures online, and my girlfriend gets jealous, stroppy, and she plays emotional blackmail on me. I do know she loves me, but I can't stand this. I hate to be held back. What can I possibly do?
Because I know what's going to happen my judgement is being severely impeded, not just over decisions regarding my humanitarian future, but all across my life. I have Asperger's syndrome, and I guess this is becoming an obsession. I had a really bad year in '09, and it's changed me. It's been a slow process, but I've noticed it. I don't eat as much, I stay up while 4am daily, I don't do anything physical. All I do is think. Think, think, think. I dwell on too much too often, and it's ripping me to shreds. I mean, I don't enjoy anything anymore. When somebody does something fun I just think of it as immature and whine like a brat. I've lost the majority of my friends, and I find myself not caring anymore.
Things are really getting to me aswell. Large corporations, fickle people and fascists are my current pet-hates. Oh, and footballers. "I'm not playing anymore cos you only pay me £150,000/week! I deserve way more than that! Also, I have big ears and a bald head!". Three guesses as to who that is; Yenoor Enyaw.
I can't even remember what I've already said. I'm pathetic. No I'm not, most of you are. Other nations are worse than the UK for it, but I have to use my example. David Cameron, why is money that could be spent to save several African or South Asian familes from disease and malnutrition being spent on some bone-idle chav so he can buy his daily six-pack of lager? It aint right. People in the developed world have too much, that's how we get Chavs and snobs. People in the undeveloped world have too little, that's how they get Malnutrition, Aids and Malaria among other things. Balance out the equation and... Win! Well, not really, but a little better...
Even though I'm to donate my life to charity I will make little difference to the worldwide situation. Sometimes I feel like it's pointless me even trying with anything. For God's sake, I can't even talk to anyone I know about what I'm thinking for fear I'll make things awkward. If there's any comment you'd like to make about anything I say, please make a Google account and comment on the post.

The first post in a substantial line of ranting, hellzyeah!
So, as you'll probably guess, this is my first ever blog post. Anndddd.... I'm talking to myself! Wuhoo, Wuhoo! *Bangs head against nearby wooden object in self-depreciation*. Anywho, I'm a British teen with strong opinions on this world and the matters it brings to the table.
If you really want to stalk me - I mean learn about me in detail, check out my profile. I think. Otherwise, just keep yourself updated with whatever rubbish I happen to spout! I promise you, there'll be some golden nuggets (not the cereal, but yes, the cereal. Oh my God, Golden Nuggets!!) in with all the tosh.
The first annoyance I'll be covering on here will be my stance on whiny, "oh noes, my life bad" western brats. Yay!
So, I was talking to some American girl online (nationality has nothing to do with it, by the way), and she had this to say: "I hate my life cos I have nothing and nobody cares about me". Poor girl has to live in a small house, she only has access to the internet when her sister's laptop is free and she has to eat cheaper brands of food than many, as well as having to put up with those annoying parent thingies. Aww, bless.
Let's imagine what's happening right now as you read this post, there's some lil' Kenyan kid, yeah? He's eight years old, he's got no parents and he got HIV from his mother. He drinks out of the village toilet, I mean river. He lives off whatever he can bloody find.
This kid, somehow, gets to swap places with this American brat. Said brat kills herself, or rather, is killed within a day by forces unknown. The African kid sees a house. A house. If he had a mouth like mine, I'm sure his initial reaction would definitely be something along the lines of "Fuckingham Palace!! :D".
Life is all about circumstance, and it shows how unfair circumstance can be when you have to drink where you tinkle. I beg of all you emo's, and all of you other assorted whiners, take a trip to Africa - your education will make my head a nicer place.
