FAT CAT! |
Anyway, onto the Olympics. I think they were absolutely incredible and the push we finally needed to inspire a lazy generation and turn them toward both sport and success. You wouldn't believe that a year prior to these games, I was tweeting about how disgusted I was at the riots and anybody involved in them. London is an inspirational city, driven by the passionate people living here. We all work together when necessary. Great medal haul for Great Britain and I believe we can strive to be even better in the Paralympics, currently happening at the moment. These athletes are the real role models and heroes, ones I wish I had when I chose to give up the numerous sports I competed in. No doubt, GB will be even stronger in 2016 and maybe there will be a chance of topping the medal table. Despite not being involved myself, London 2012 so far has been an unforgettable experience to watch. The atmosphere has been amazing, but unfortunately this only happens every four years that we fully unite as our nations compete!
Despite finding a majority of the opening ceremony boring (Like most people did), I thoroughly enjoyed the closing ceremony. I think it was the fact it was about music which done it for me, all these incredible artists from over the years lined up in one show. However, I wouldn't exactly include One Direction as legendary. Take That were great, and credit to Gary Barlow for performing after such a tragedy. Not a big fan of Jason Orange after his antics, however. My favourite part of the ceremony (Minus Take That), was definitely seeing Richard Jones (The Feeling) play bass for Ed Sheeran. This sort of links into my next topic actually...
Dan Gillespie Sells and Paul Stewart. |
As I began writing this, it's been a full month since I saw The Feeling live. They are incredible and if you like them, please go and actually see them at a show and you will not be disappointed. I promise? :). Hyde Park was brimming with people, full of olympic spirit and I think that contributes to why the band got such a good reception. Everyone appreciates their music, of course. I literally cannot find a person who dislikes this band, for whatever reasons. I especially like their new song 'Anchor,' it's something a little different but good to see they're trying something newer with album 4. I've only seen it live twice but it's growing on me each time I've heard/seen it. I'm becoming a bigger fan of the band by the day!
This time last year I was tweeting about how mortified I was at the fact we lost 5-1 to Manchester City, but at least we were on our way to being 4th in the table. Modric, VDV and numerous others out and I actually believe our squad has been weakened. Ledley King in retirement and our back four looking shaky as ever. I must say, I'm obviously not a glory hunter (I support spurs!!) But I actually don't mind if we settle for 5th or 6th this season. Then it may become apparent that we need new players and a refreshed squad. Spurs fans can never make their minds up though, a few weeks ago they wanted Harry out and now they want him back in. Talk about indecisive. However, football is becoming less and less interesting as seasons go on. My only hope for the season is that the current title holders don't retain it.
I'm actually going to try and be creative for my next blog post and try and attract more readers. I start college next week and I should really start getting something done.
Thanks for reading! ^__^
