Word Press – The last Utopia on the Internet?

 

 

I had a chat with someone not 10 minutes ago and I said this, and now I will blog it; I have a strange way of blogging, just say “Yes Shaun” and go with the flow…………

The title is what it says, with Twitter and Face book and all these other Social Media sites and all these groups on Yahoo and other places, I have been on them all and have always came across nasty people and strange behaviour

I have had this account 6/7 months now, and only really started blogging hard when I left my last blogging interest, sport in January 2013

I came here, and from day 1 people were nice, and to this day I can honestly say I have not came across one nasty, horrible, evil, angry person. All these emotions I have read about, but never seen thrown at other people. As the internet grows and we are so easily connected in an instant from where I am in Edinburgh, Scotland to London, Paris, Australia, South American, The States, India, the Middle East, Africa, South Africa and Europe to Russia and all in-between, I truly believe this is one of the last places where love flows, caring really happens, people understand and people take a second to be nice or say a nice word

I came here at first to talk about my Disability, Chronic Pain Syndrome, Chronic Pain. I am in agony all day every day, but the help and advice I get here has helped me in ways I can’t say, it is just filled with Love and compassion, people willing to just leave a small reply to say “I care” or “I am thinking about you”

I have never been judged to my face, although I am not foolish enough to think it may not have happened between the odd person somewhere, I am honest, I am me, you are you, so if people are nasty, they keep it to themselves, I don’t see gossips or hear them, I have 70+ people from here on Skype a few on Face Book I hardly use and many I email with, it is a fantastic place

I have been online since the world came online in 1994, I came online the day the world came online with the first version of Windows Operating System and I truly can say in the almost 20 years online, and TRUST ME I have been to many places online and this is the only one I can really say I feel we all share one common goal, and that is to care. I blog also for “Bloggers for peace” So there is another goal I have in common with many here

Is this the last Utopia we have online? The last true caring place? The final freedom on-line where we can care and help? I am just asking, I feel so…

Debate away

Word Press, Awards and YOU!

 

When I joined Word Press in July 2012 I didn’t blog much, as I was doing a sports blog. The reason I started this blog was to talk about my disability and reach out, in the hope others reached back.

OTHERS REACHED BACK!

I can’t say how thankful I am about having 27 awards, all from 27 different people. To say I don’t feel as though I deserve these awards is an understatement. Some of the blogs I read on here are just BRILLIANT. Awards aside, this place is just brilliant, I can’t say this enough, you ALL came to me when I needed you, each in your own way. So thank you

Some blogs are from people like me, to people who take pictures and share, or just have fun, some blog just to blog and talk, the variations in bloggers here is breathtaking, Word Press is an AMAZING place. I can’t speak highly enough about being here

I said in a blog a while back “Word Press and I found each other JUST at the right time” And I can’t really go into too much detail, but please trust me, this place fell onto my lap when I needed it, and the people I have met and speak to, many on Skype Audio, some email, some here is overwhelming to say the least.

People do care; people will take that second to say something. Just speaking about me personally, when I am down, you all lift me up, when I am up, you all laugh with me. When I want to have fun, you all have fun with me.

Below is a chart of my blogging activity. As you can see it wasn’t until the New Year, 2013 I made a new year’s resolution to blog more about myself, and reach out, again, in the hope other reached back. I have only really been blogging hard since January 2013. Each month shows the blogs I did that month

I would like to thank you all again for “Just being Human” You are all spread out across the globe. I speak from people from the USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, India, Russia, South America, Africa and all over Europe. I escaped my own country’s bubble and took myself to the world to speak about “Stuff” and it is my honour so say this

 

I am proud to be a part of the Word Press Family  x

As I do,  I leave you all with a song x

Define beautiful in a person

Boring plain old me..

This is a blog I wanted to do for a while. My partner did a little modelling when she was younger. She had not before I fell in love with her, I fell in love with the woman, that came next; she is beautiful in many ways, inside and out.

Many Woman are very nice looking, but ugly on the inside if you follow, trust me I have been on the wrong side of many, they think because they have the looks they can have any man, and I guess that is kind of true, but not all men are sex hungry fools, I certainly am not

Anyway, when I talk of beauty, I talk about what I hear, what I feel, how the person comes across, how the person looks is secondary to me

But we are all different, and this is good, if we were all the same, it would be Orwellian and 1984 and boring, so it is good we have differing kinds of people.

Men, I did a blog on Men, so this blog is about Beautiful people in any and all of the sense of the word, if that makes sense, I hope it does. I know friends, nice lads, some are married some are not, sadly many cheat on their partner, they need to feel like they can say “Look what I did”

For me if you meet ANYONE, and on the first night Sex is on the agenda, you know both people are that type of person and some expect a relationship from this, but then get disappointed when they realise the person is just in it for Sex. Many people go up town to meet people, score the first night, and then get upset when it was just a one night thing

That is not beauty that is ugly, inside and out. I know many beautiful woman, my partner is fine with me having girl pals, I was like this before we went out then got together, so nothing has changed, I like a good night out with my pals, get drunk, even though I don’t really drink, I think we all need a good blow out for time to time. My partner and I live in the area we grew up in almost, so people we both knew we meet a lot, and I have found myself online trying to explain to girls “Sorry, I am not like that”

But this is about beautiful, Men, Woman, young girls at college and young lads also. The song below hits the mark for me. I know a man who dresses as a woman, is he any less beautiful than some blond woman with big chests or a man with a 6 pack and good looks? No, the answer is no

Beauty is on the inside. People can be facially good looking. I feel in love with Kylie Minogue as a young man, but it is just a stupid thing we all do, my partner likes a famous football player (Soccer) player and has pictures of him on her phone. Big deal, lol

Kylie. Good on the eye. But what is she like as a person?

Rudi Skacel, a fancy man my Partner likes. He is actually a decent man

So what is beauty? I will let you decide, as everyone is different. This is my blog, so please, feel free to add a comment on your opinions; this is what debate/blogging is for, people have hangups and go through life thinking beauty they see portrayed on TV as “This is how I should look” This is not the case, and TV is wrong to do this, in my opinion, I know many woman and men who look at magazines and TV and copy beauty they see. Again the song below, I think covers my argument here well. I hope you agree. Some people are Gay (Religious issues there) But being Gay isn’t a choice, Gay people are attracted to the same sex. And I know many gay people, men and woman, I have never met any nasty horrible people with any, they are happy people, but get judged. This is 2013, the world has moved on, so have feelings and emotions, should we just ignore this and condemn gay people to hell? I don’t think so. But I know gay people. So my take on it may differ from someone who judges Gay people without knowing them. They are just NORMAL PEOPLE for the love of God. Sorry, but this is a bug bear for me. And I in no way want to upset anyone with my views, all these are, are my opinions, feel free to fire your opinions into this blog. Debate and blogging is for this, so lets……..

This video speaks VOLUMES for the point I am making, and again, a superb song

We all know the singer in the Video above, she was bullied at School for being ugly. I don’t know her, some of her videos can be “you know” This one is her speaking from her heart.

My partner is good looking to me on the outside, but the person on the inside is so much more. And she knows this also.
