"Your anger gives you great power. But if you let it, it will destroy you."

Another time. Another blog post. And most likely another rant from me.

Little explanation for the quote. It's a quote from the guru of meaning that is Batman, specifically the brilliant film Batman Begins. Quite a self-explanatory quote really and quite true in a sense. The first part of the quote talks about how anger gives you power, not exactly great power, but power nonetheless. The power the quote is talking about is most likely physical power, i.e. your strength. In a sense the that's true. When you get angry you, quite obviously, become aggressive and for most this prepares them for a fight or makes you want to punch something. So in that sense the quote is true. Anger does give you power. The second part of the quote is, again, quite self-explanatory. If you let your anger give you this strength it can destroy you. Basically if your angry all the time and you don't let your anger go, it will destroy you. This is something I feel I can relate to. Countless times in my past I've been angry and I think that if I never stopped being angry or I never found something to channel it, then eventually the anger would destroy me. I think therefore that if you do feel angry. Please don't keep it within yourself. Find something, anything to get rid of it or to channel your anger out. Because it can and it will eat you from the inside. And it really isn't a pleasant experience. I know the feeling all too well. And I would never wish anyone to have to endure that kind of ordeal.


In a weeks time I'll be jetting off to Spain with a very good friend for a very Spanish road trip and well earned rest. So this will most likely be the last Tuesday blog for a while. But till then I'm feeling pretty nervous and bummed out about Thursday - RESULTS DAY! I mean, FUCK! I don't think I've ever been more nervous for anything in my entire life. This day, for me, will decide my future for me. Whether I'm actually gonna be able to do anything with my life. Or whether I'm just gonna turn to be a fuck up. So yeah, I'm really fucking nervous for Thursday.


So how has my weekend been? Actually pretty good. After spending most of Friday in bed due to illness, I spent Saturday in town with a very good friend. Met some new people who I like immediately. All of them understood that I had the mental age half my normal age which is good. Meant they didn't find me too weird. On Sunday I went for a meal with family which was nice. Doesn't matter how much I may not like some members of my family, if I'm not paying for the meal then I'm happy going. I also got talking to someone I thought previously hated me. I turned out all we needed was a break from each other. And it's true. Felt good to talk to them again. Things may be heading into normality for me. Hopefully. Monday was supposed to be another band practice. But two members were missing, one was on holiday the other had gone to his grandmas and not told us. This left us with only half the band and therefore nothing to do. Instead of practicing then we spent the rest of the day down by the beach, in the sea, and two peoples cases sharing a shower together. Turned out to be a pretty awesome day after all.


Well that's it for the blog this week. So I'll leave you with the brutal and oh so brilliant Killswitch Engage with their song The Arms of Sorrow. Enjoy.
