So yeah

Good morning campers!

It is Sunday morning and last night, we had Youth Extreme starting up for the year again.

And you know what? I doubt if I could be more stoked for what is going to happen this year. We have an AMAZING bunch of young people (I'm included in that) who are gonna change the world! Mushrooms are coming up guys.

Zero Gravity is where we are. We've stepped off the platform so now it's time to soar. No zip lines holding us up now guys, just God. You ready?

Big love from the Ginger Wookie!

Peace out :)

A photo of me recently...

So I've decided to get back into blogging!

And we will kick off where I left in that 30 day challenge where I massively missed completing it in the 30 days but I digress. This is a photo from Youth Extreme: Zero Gravity Camp. It's the team who kept everyone alive and got them home and I can honestly say, I'm a big fan. Whether they are from half way across the world or not, they were awesome in an awesome weekend.

Big love from the ginger wookie!

Recent Photo

So many to choose from...

We'll go for during the mammoth midnight drive that meandered from manchester all the way to the magical whitehills :)

A photo from over 10 years ago

So yeah, back into the blogging game and all I need to do today is put up a picture of me from 10 years ago. Thanks to Dads recent upload to facebook, I have such a photo.

A lovely photo of my siblings and I in our primary school days. Ahhh Robert Jones Junior. Really kicking it old school. This photo is so old, I think it is actually older than all the guys in youth extreme...



And before any one says it, yes, I was cute and no, I don't know what happened.

A photo I took

Our christmas tree. This year was my first year when working on christmas eve. And I came home to this.

A tree. Not just any tree. This tree was perfect. Turned my not very christmassy feelings to suddenly realising, my family was home and it was christmas day tomorrow. The best day of the year.

Family is so important and christmas time is family time. It is the most wonderful time of the year. I cannot describe to you how good it was. Even with it nearly being derailed by me, it turned into one of the best Christmases ever.

Perfect.

A photo that makes me sad

The first late post for my blog challenge. So yes, I have failed in the challenge. But I shall continue with it anyway, so that after 30 days, I have 30 blogs.

Today's title was a photo that makes up angry/sad. So I found a picture of a homeless man in Togo. I cannot believe that with all the capabilities and technologies we still have countries torn apart by war, and people (like us) are still forced to live on the streets.

I don't know if my heart breaks or if I just feel fury at the pure waste that our human race makes. I'm desperate for my emotions to sort themselves out so that instead of anger at my fellow man, I am only left with one option and that is to love the . From the homeless man who has been kicked down by life, to the rich man who inherited his fathers business and has never worked a day in his life. I need to love my fellow man, not just pity him.

Day 7

Now I know what you're thinking. Where was day 6 of the challenge? Well, day 6 was whatever tickled my fancy. And my fancy was to not write a blog. So I have managed to stick within the rules I would say ;)

But back to day 7. If this has worked properly then a photo of y wonderful family will be somewhere on this blog. They make me happy. It's near impossible to stay mad at them, no matter the reason. They've all been there for me and they are all super heroes in their own rights. Big love to my family.

Once again, another simple blog for the challenge. I am honestly wondering when I will write a lengthy blog again. Seems to make more sense just having short, regular ones than lengthy bimonthly ones to be honest.

Anyway, massive shout out to my friends cause they're awesome, big love to everybody and I will see you tomorrow. Peace out

Day 5, my favourite quote

Good morning and happy new years to anyone and everyone. Lets start this year right with big love going to everybody and joy being felt by all.

2013 begins but I will not let it derail me from my blogging and the current challenge that I have undertaken. Today is the 5th day of 30 so there is still a ways to go. Now there are literally millions of quotations out there so this one has me returned to the same level of previous difficult selections.

For example, the wonderful sentiment of hope within The Crow "It can't rain all the time" giving us reason to believe that even though this film has a dark tale to tell, we can still hope for our protagonist.

Or maybe the wonderful monologue that closes out Blade Runner "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." Proving that it is not what is in our outside or even on our inside, but what is within our soul is what makes us human.

So many films have great moments and produce great quotations. "Use the force Luke!" or "I am your father" or even "Great shot kid that was one in a million".

But there is one quote for me that has stood above the others and it comes from Hook, the most wonderful adaptation of the story of Peter Pan. "To live would be an awfully big adventure" So very true. When we are children we day dream out adventures and even play with our imaginations running wild that we are swashbuckling with pirates and fighting indians but just by a few years change, we are living the greatest adventure.

Peace out folks
