Merry Christmas and an almost Happy New Year

Oh my Jebus Christ. 2016 is finally coming to an end! I honestly do not know where on earth this full year has gone! How about you guys? It's crazy how fast time goes. Anyway, Christmas has just passed and basically, how did y'all Christmas go? For me personally it went really well! I love it! Spending time with the family meant so much to me and it was just so nice to sit back, relax and enjoy movie time with the famalam!

Another reason to why Christmas was good this year was due to the fact my amazing mother bought me a new laptop/tablet thing! The reason for my excitement over this amazing gadget is that I can finally blog once again on a regular basis! I could have blogged a lot more but I was struggling to find the place as well as the time to do so! But now I can take this awesome device anywhere and everywhere I go which is EPIC! I have never been so happy with a piece of technology before!

Moving swiftly on...2017 is two days away and I cannot exaggerate how scary that is! 2016 has gone so quickly and a hell of a lot of stuff has happened during this year! IT'S CRAY CRAY! Let's just re-cap what's happened this year:

• David Bowie unfortunately passed away! 
• The ye olde queen turned 90!
• I turned 18! 
• Prince also passed away! 
• Pokemon Go was released this year...
• A new Harry Potter book was released?!
• and just to top everything off: Donald Trump became America's new president elect.

I don't even know what to say in regards of Donald Trump's new legacy. I still think I am in some crazy nightmare that is permanently stuck on repeat. But I guess that is how the universe wanted things to do so they ya' go. But I did turn 18 this year which means I have a right of passage to pretty much do 90% of things within the UK. I can legally smoke, buy and consume alcohol as well as get inked. But will I do anything of these things? Hah, nope. I am reasonably sensible. Apart from my high chocolate consumption. 

Speaking of chocolate; my new years resolutions begin with NO CHOCOLATE or at least a cut down of sugar. I am consuming sugar on a regular, unhealthy basis and quite frankly; it ain't good for me. I am either going to gain a hell lot of weight or I am going to get type two diabetes therefore I seriously need to calm down on my sugar addiction. I am still trying to work out how to do so! :/ 

On another note, I shall write a blog post regarding my new years resolutions shortly but in the mean time I hope you, my fellow readers, have a lovely holiday and I hope you are all relaxing in the best way possible! 

Adios Amigos! I am ever so sorry for any spelling/grammar errors. I am still getting use to this laptop device! 

Also, Sammy's comedy of the day: 

I found this on Tumblr and quite frankly I have never agreed with such scenario in my entire life!

How to be Happy

This is hopefully going to be a guide to being 'happy'. In the world there are many individuals who are naturally happy. They may be living a stress free life. Or they was born with incredible amounts of serotonin levels. Anyway, my point is that some people on the flip side; are not so happy. I am one of those individuals. Certain things will make me happy but being a happy person 24/7 is definitely a difficult task for me. If I am not at home binge watching YouTube videos or chilling with the boyf', then I am not happy. Happiness is a difficult thing to achieve but it's possible.

Step 1: RELAX. I honestly cannot exaggerate how important it is to relax. Just spending time with yourself is honestly the most crucial step to happiness. Just staying at home relaxing for a day can boost your happiness level by 100. The best way I have found to unwind is running an extremely hot bath. Make myself a cup of tea with a high amount of sugar. Put some relaxing tunes on and get into that hot bath with the cup of tea and ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Relaxation.

Step 2: Get your jobs done. If you have rubbish in your room that is lying around. Then dispose of it. If you have hair grips lying around, put them in jar or move them into a box or something. Basically, but everything in it's right place. I have been doing this for a couple of weeks now and you don't understand how satisfying it is to get into bed and know everything is spick and span. Also, if your parents have set you chores, get them done. Just get them done. Just do it. Shia Labeouf.

Step 3: Go see your family relatives or friends or lover. Honestly, this makes me so so so happy. Seeing a close friend can make your day 10x better and so can seeing your lover. Family relatives also provide food. Food makes you happier too.

Step 4: Remove the sh*t out of your life. Literally and metaphorically. Remove any individuals that are not a good influence on you. Remove all unwanted junk. Make your life free off all stress and copious amounts of dirt. Honestly, this helps. I currently have a high amount of 'outstanding' work to hand in at college but each time I hand a piece of work in I feel so much better and it motivates me to carry on and get even more work done.

I think that is just a few steps on how to be happy. There are many more out there in the world but I honestly do not have the time to write them all down. Anyway, I hope y'all have a fantastic day and just remember, RELAX. R e L a X. 

😊😀😊

IT IS OCTOBER OH MY

IT IS OCTOBER. Shiz. I am ever so sorry for a huge gap in which I have no posted anything. I am 100% determined to achieve a blog post a day! 

Basically, I am currently in my third year of college. I could be at university and what not but nope I am still at college. Just to mention, I haven't failed any subjects or what not I just signed an agreement and now I am here for my third year. To summarize what you have missed off my life:

 - I have booked a driving test which I might be moving because of stupid driving instructors. So, I booked my test and than I have had to change my driving instructor for the third time. This is mostly due to having drove 6 different cars and I haven't even passed my test. My first instructor wasn't teaching me and I felt as if I was being ripped off. Than my second instructor had an issue with the insurance which caused him to have numerous cars. However, he had a lovely little petrol car which I loved and he said he was keeping and than he turned around and said on my next lesson I would have a different car. So, there you go. Driving is going great at the momento... 

- As you already should know, I previously won the art competition. I was invited to a presentation in which I received £250 and a lovely greeting from the business who was operating the competition. However, a photographer was there who took a series of photos so here, have the main one: 

Dah, daaaaaaa. (I am the one in the dungarees looking like a complete spanner, (like usual)). 

- *tries to think of what else has happened* ... Ah yes, I am still with le boyf. I think I will be for a very very very long time. Me and le boyf have had a snapchat streak going on for over a year which therefore means our current snapchat streak is at 512. Yes you read correctly, 512. Ahhhh, I do love him. We have had so many awesome adventures together and so far I think the one were we went to Center Parcs has been the best. We have been debating whether or not we should go to Center Parcs again in January because it will be cheap and pretty cool, especially if it snows. 

- Also, a trampoline park called 'Gravity' opened late August. I LOVE IT. So far, every Monday me, my sister and le boyf have gone and it is amazing. It is so blooming fun! It is basically a place with tons of trampolines as well as a huge airbag you can jump into. It is so fun. 

But unfortunately, that is all I have time for today. Again, I am ever so sorry about the long needed blog post, my life has been very busy. But I will PROMISE all of you that I shall be uploading photos, blog posts and even more. But, in the mean time you can follow me on: 

- Instagram: @thatdenbykid 

- Twitter: @thatdenbykid 

- Snapchat: samdenby016 ----> I prefer snapchat at the moment, it is fun. 

Anyway, I hope everyone has a lovely week, day, month and even year. Thank you for reading and I apologize now for any spelling errors! 

:D 

I WON

So, as you may already know, I did a large stippling piece of work which was a trawlerman. Basically, I got told that it was a waste of time by one of the teachers at my college and it was never put in the art exhibition in which I was promised it would. Anyway, another teacher loved it and therefore wanted to enter it into a local art competition were the winners work would be displayed in their office building and the winner would also receive £250. So, £250 does not seem that much but to me it is a lot. That is 2 weeks worth of working to me. But basically, I WON THE COMPETITION. I actually won something. I don't even care about the money, my artwork was loved by someone and I am so proud of myself.

Wahoooooooooooooooooooo.

I am so happy.

Live has it's little peaks and tweaks. Sometimes they upset me. Sometimes they make me happy.

I just thought I should let you know and once I get a picture of the artwork I shall show you! WOOP WOOP.

Anyway in other news I am  currently learning how to drive again. I don't like driving and I personally think it will take me a very long time before I even enjoy driving but yes, I am learning. My previous driving instructor has given up on me as he is portraying. He has not messaged me for two months and I have seen him in my hometown teaching other pupils so I shall leave him to it. But my new instructor is pretty cool, I think I have given him two heart attacks in the two lessons I have had with him. I dislike driving. I don't feel confident enough to drive.

I am still watching the Office. Every time I am at home I leave everything just to watch the Office. I think I need help.

I also need to revamp the blog. I would really like a good design and pretty patterns and stuff but I am not that computer savvy. Hmmmmm.

It is still weird being 18.

Anywho, I hope you all have a lovely day/evening/night! I shall speak soon and I shall return with a photo of the day!

Adios!

The Big Return / Him 2.0

Yes, Sammy has once again returned and I guess you are sick of hearing that! God, I have missed writing so much. However, it does feel very strange to write on a keyboard which isn't touchscreen. Very strange indeed. Anyway, yes I am going to try my very best to return and stay put here because I miss this. I miss this very much. 

I am 18, that is something you have definitely missed. I have had my first legal drink which was very interesting if I do say so myself. It was only a Smirnoff Ice but for an alcoholic virgin. Well. But for my 18th I was greeted with many great gifts and an amazing mother! I was mainly greeted with EVERY SINGLE SEASON OF THE OFFICE (US). If you are a long term reader, I think you will understand my love for the office so receiving that surprise made me so so so happy! 

Speaking of things that make me happy. Him. Last week we went away for 5 days to ye olde Center Parcs which can be located in a series of areas around the United Kingdom but the one I went to was Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood, (I think). But yeah the trip was courtesy of Him and I have never been so grateful in my life! It was honestly one of the best trips ever and I am honestly so lucky to have someone like him! He means everything to me and although I never seem to show him that I do mean it. 

... This still feels so weird to me. 

I ONLY HAVE 4 MINUTES LEFT UNTIL A RESTART OCCURS. 

omg. 

Basically, I love him so much and I want everyone in the entire world to realise that! We do have our little disputes but we always overcome them with smiles and tickles. 

TO BE CONTINUED...

sorry for any terminology errors and spelling errors and stuff. 

Consistency

Okay, so I am apparently have no consistency what so ever. Especially when it comes to writing blog posts on a regular basis. I always write a blog post expressing how much I am going to write something everyday but I never do but hey ho, what is the flow? (Don't ask me what that even means).

Life has been rather odd lately. Ups and downs and many round-a-bouts. To begin with: I have a crazy driving instructor. He raises his voice quite and lot and insists on murdering me. For example, earlier today I was heading towards a round-a-bout. You are always supposed to give way to the oncoming traffic from the right. So I did. My driving instructor was insisting that I go but I did not want to die, therefore I didn't go. (There was a silver corsa heading over). My driving instructor told me to then speed up whilst turning into a really tight road. So yes. I have come to the conclusion that he is trying to murder me! YAY!

Secondly: I decided to get a full fringe.

Mind the wonderful reflection within my glasses but wallah. Me with a full fringe. (I aimed for it to be messy so don't judge me please). I don't know why but I really wanted a fringe because I always have my hair up and I thought it would look nice so I had a 'yolo' moment and went for it. Boom. Majority of people are telling me that it suites me but you never know with people. 

Thirdly: College is killing me. No further comment is needed.

yOu CoMe FiRsT

I have come to the conclusion that all boys and men are strange. Especially when it comes to understanding them. I, myself, is the worst for understanding. I don't understand the stupid little things in life and I am starting to think that I probably should.

Basically, never mess a boy around. They also have feelings, (believe it or not). That is what I have done recently and trust me, it is not a good thing. Messing with his feelings was the worst mistake i have ever done because you don't realise what you have until you lose it. Long story short, I am an idiot. But it is all okay because I have finally come to my Sammy senses. I am one large nugget and I have no realised that.

Here is some advice, never listen to other people, always listen to yourself and yourself only. The only person who can change anything is you. You are the reason for why you eat everyday. You are the reason to why you go to bed at the time you do. You are the reason to why you decide to talk to someone. Everything is all down to you so don't let anyone change that for you! Always listen and take care of yourself. I always end up putting other people before myself and that is were I go wrong in life. By putting others before yourself on a regular basis you begin to feel really down yet happy at the same time. This is one contradiction which you will never understand unless you are one of those people pleasers.

You Come First! 

That is what I am going to start doing from now on, put myself first for once. It sounds very selfish to me but in reality it isn't. It is all about happiness and I believe the key to happiness is responsibility. Responsibility for yourself along with others. Please, always remember that!

On a slightly happier note, I finally have an amazing PC thanks to him. I have missed him so much and like I have said a couple dozen times, I finally came to my senses. I finally got my dream of a pc and my dream of a man bag and I honestly could not be happier right now. There are still parts of me which are depressing and sloppy but I guess everyone has those parts to them. Everyone.

Music is amazing. It is a mood changer. But, you know what isn't amazing, this noisy keyboard. It is very early hours in the morning and people are trying to sleep yet all you can hear is the clanking noise this keyboard is providing. It isn't like any normal keyboard, oh no, it is loud, qwerky but still pretty amazing. It does the job though.

Anyway, I better tuck myself back into bed before this keyboard wakes up the whole neighbourhood, Now, that would not be good. It could be rather funny on the upside. I hope everybody has a wonderful day/evening, whatever time of the day it might be! Thank you for reading!

*smiley Sammy face here* 

Hipster Queen

I love the term, 'organised'. It makes me feel happy and comfortable. I am unaware why but it just does. Anyway, I have become a hipster. Well, I am slowly developing into one and that is something i cannot deny. I don't know where it has come from but it has come and now I am feeling more swag than ever. I am going to devise a list:

8 Ways You Know You Are Becoming A Hipster Queen.

1. Your dress sense is turning into lazy but still stylish. Basically, you're wearing baggy clothes with cool shoes and funky beanie hats. You're fashion sense has become funky with a side order of comfort. 
2. Your music taste is becoming acoustic. Yes, I am correct with this reason because acoustic music is a hipsters music. What I mean by acoustic is a bit of Milky Chance along with a side order of George Ezra. If you haven't heard of either of these, well, you need too 
3. Messy Hair. This is were your hair style begins to become messy in a stylish manner. For example, my hair style has evolved into a messy bun with strands of hair falling in front of my face. But it has become that bad that my hair will stay in a bun even though there is no hair tie. 
4. Tea is your new best friend. You know that coffee shop I was on about in a earlier post, well yes, that place is my new best friend along with tea. I don't know why but the warmth of the tea and the coffee place just makes me happy and I am starting to call it my 'stress relief'. 
5. The internet. I don't believe that I need to say any more but the internet is also your new best friend just like tea. Tumblr, Instragram. Blogs. They are all your best friends. 
6. GLASSES. I guess this could be in my fashion category but I am adamant that glasses should have their own section because if you don't have glasses, you ain't no hipster queen. Unless you cannot wear glasses for some bizarre reason, like if you generally don't need glasses then it's okay, you can still be a hipster queen. 
7. Hobbies. Your hobbies involve playing a guitar and writing on a blog in a coffee shop...no further comment is needed. 
8. Taking Interesting Photos. You decide to use a wide range of filters when you upload your photos to instagram or tumblr. You may use Nashville on instagram or the simple black and white filter for Tumblr but no matter what you do, you still add a filter.

So there you have it. A very interesting list which I ironically developed on my laptop in a coffee shop. BOOM! My imagination is definitely cray cray. I love saying 'cray cray' at the minute. If you already didn't know, it means crazy but it sounds more groovy and funky and that is how I am feeling at the moment.

Also, I cannot remember whether or not I told you all that I left my previous glasses on a bus but I got two new pairs yesterday and it is so nice to be able to see again. It is wonderful. You truly don't understand how much you take your eyesight for granted until you are able to see once again. 

Although I love this coffee shop. I wish they could make scrambled eggs. Actually, that is what I am going to have for tea tonight, scrambled eggs. NOM NOM NOM! But, I am going to make the scrambled eggs crispy with a pinch of salt and a side order of toast. Hmmmmmmm.

Catch Up Time with Denby

Y'all have missed a huge chunk of my life and I sincerely apologize but it's okay because I am going to give you all a quick, huge, update!

So, to begin with, my father came back into my life but at the moment we are having a breather because he upset me a wee bit. It is slightly upsetting. Mainly because when you find out your dad is coming into your life you expect everything but unfortunately, you don't often get everything. It is really hard to explain but I just feel as if I have been disappointed in way, I was expecting love and happiness but I only got sadness instead. Yeah, it's awkward to explain.

Secondly, I passed my car theory test first time. WOOP WOOP! Basically, last week I had the theory test. I revised for the theory test. I passed the theory test. For those who may not know what a theory test is, it is a series of questions basically about the road. The vast majority of the questions are logical scenarios but it still can get strenuous when you begin to over think. Basically, just don't over think in life. Just don't.

Thirdly, college is building up my stress levels. Deadlines hither and thither along with a huge dot piece to do. It is definitely becoming stressful. But yes, I am undergoing another huge dot piece. It is torturing me and I regret it because now I only have 3 weeks to complete it but yeah, I will get it done eventually...
Guys, if you are in high school or secondary school, whichever you may call it, just please. Don't fall behind and always get your work done to a top notch grade because in all honesty, you will regret it in the future. Be that A grade student your parents expect you to be! (Or C grade, like me).

I must take a quick exit because speaking of college has just reminded me that I need to get to college within the next half hour. I have missed writing on here so much. I cannot wait until I get all my work done because then I can relax and write on here a lot more and enjoy life like I should me! But yes, I hope everyone has a wonderful and jolly day and I shall see you all later!

ADIOS AMIGOS!
I think I am going to find out what 'see you soon' means in Spanish.
I shall do that.

4 days later...

Howdy! I hate rice. 

I was at le boyf's and I suddenly had a wonderful idea about having some rice and peas. So, I purchased some odd looking packet of rice and a tin of peas. NEVER AGAIN! My taste buds responded in a way I wasn't expecting. URGH! It took 15 whole minutes to cook the rice and it was all for nothing. My stomach feels so sick and BLURRRRR! I ate half the tin of peas though which means there is always something good out of something bad. #Fact! 

My do I feel so sick and urgh. :( 

One of the neighbours cats have cheered me up though. As I was writing this blog post I just looked out of the back window to a black cat. It is such a lovely cat! I just went outside to stroke the cutie! I love cats but unfortunately I have an allergy to them but ah well! I would rather sneeze to death than avoid cats! 

I honestly have no idea what to write about. I believe to have writers block but I wouldn't call myself much of a writer. Therefore, I shall create a new block called 'Sammy's block'. Whenever I cannot think of anything to write I shall just say that I have 'Sammy's block'. YAY! 

I can see leftover garlic bread in the oven and as soft as they look I still cannot bear to look at them. The idea of eating anything just makes me feel more sick than I already do.

Currently, it is 16:06 which means it is 6 minutes past 4 in the afternoon and I am soon to begin work at 5pm. I am debating when to get ready and what I should wear. Now, this is a hard decision for someone like myself because I am full of indecisiveness. YAY! 

Anyway I must go as I have a lot of debating to do but I do hope you all have a wonderful day! FAREWELL AMIGO'S! Tomorrow I shall post today's 'pHoTo Of ThE dAy' because I have nothing to post because I have been a floppy squirrel! 

FLOPPY SQUIRREL'S RULE!!! 

StRAWberry MiLk

I went to the shops today and I purchased fruit. Along with a carton of strawberry milk...
Recently my taste buds have been really odd and weird so everything doesn't taste right to me. (Twinkies are still disgusting). So, I decided to try strawberry milk and see if I still like it or not. I STILL LOVE THE STUFF! I drank 3/4 of the carton and now I feel sick but it was absolutely worth every bit! SSLLLLUUURRRRPPPPP. But, I did actually buy some fruit? That's also a good thing right?!? The one thing I really wanted was some banana's so when I have my porridge in the morning, I can put some banana in it and see if it tastes yummy or not.

I also deleted all my social media. I was getting stressed out and I soon realised how much time I was spending on social media was insane. Therefore I simply deleted it. So far I have gone just over 24 hours without it and I am feeling a lot more better for it. Every morning I would spend about an hour just scrolling through instagram, Facebook, Twitter. I don't even know why I did it, I personally think it was just an excuse to lay in bed and waste more time. But now I feel great without it! I feel like I care about others more and I always find myself being that bit more productive! This morning I woke up and I simply replied to le boyf and then spoke to him for a small while then I got out of bed. This was all in the space of 15 minutes which is absolutely crazy for me! I definitely recommend going without social media for a while. It feels so nice and relaxing!

I got halfway through tidying my bedroom then I decided to procrastinate and write on here because I don't think I have written for a couple of days! I want to move my room around but I am traumatised by the thought of spiders and I know I will regret it if I do so I am currently avoiding that scenario. Between you and me, I have an obsession of moving and rearranging things. It can intend to become really bad but I am trying to behave and not do so.

I am starting to feel even more sick after the copious amount of strawberry milkshake. URghhHHHasdksaj.

I need to return back to non-procrastination Sammy and tidy my room. Therefore I shall leave you! I hope you all have had a wonderful day/night and I shall attempt to write something tomorrow. I have a driving lesson tomorrow which I think might kill me but I shall tell you more about that tomorrow!!!

pHoTo Of ThE dAy:

I love this photo of David Bowie

I don't call myself a number one fan of his but I do love his music!

He is an idol and he shall also be remembered!

Life is full of rainbows and sparkles. APRIL FOOLS!

The title pretty much sums up my mood in this moment of time. I feel happy but also really miserable at the same time! For the past week I have been craving a perfect cup of tea. I tried to make one yesterday and quite frankly, I wanted to throw up but I didn't want to waste tea... 

I had a McDonalds tea the other day but the problem I have with their tea is that they don't put the milk in for you. I don't know the perfect consistency of water and milk in order to make the perfect tea. So, yeah, that was also a fail. The reason why I am discussing tea is that I am soon going to the coffee shop in order to have a cup of tea. I also do not understand why they are called 'coffee shops'. I know some people call them 'tea rooms' but that is only about 4% of the population in the UK. If I was in charge of laws and regulations for this country I would simply create a law which makes individuals call 'coffee shops', 'tea rooms'. DA DAH! 

Well. That was just random. 

 Everything is starting to become a wee bit stressful at the moment and I really do not like it :(. This is all down to the fact we might have too move and the one thing I hate the most is moving because I have to take down my memories off the wall and put them in boxes and stick 'fragile' stickers all over them:(. As much as it's upsetting, it is also very stressful! And I have a lot of coursework to do before I go back to college and I have a slight feeling that I am not going to be getting that done in time. YAY! (>._.>) <--- I don't know what that is. 

I would rant and rave about more things but the 'tea shop' is calling me! I hope you all have a good day amigo's and I hope no one pranks you today, That is one thing I do hate, April Fools Day! It's always about this time in the year something in my life goes 'kaboom' and I always believe its a joke but it never ends up to be a joke. That just got really deep...lel many apologies! 

I HOPE YOU HAVE RAINBOWS AND SPARKLES IN YOUR LIFE TODAY GUYS! 

pHoTo Of ThE dAy: 

I found this meme funny because I have never watched games of thrones and I have never touched an avocado in my entire life!

 

tWiNkIeS

I have been disappointed. My reason? Twinkies. You know those Hostess American snack things with the cream in? Yeah. Them. I have spent so many months being locked in a search for low price twinkies. Finally my search came to an end when I found a place which was selling a 10 pack of individually wrapped twinkies for £1. I WAS SO HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE. However, I was no longer happy once I tried the bloomin' thing. URGH! The best way for you to understand how I feel is by using an example. 

So, for example: Imagine if you went to a top notch shop like Urban Outfitters and you bought a dress for 247891374983184932 squids, (I have a recent habit of calling pounds squids), and then you go to try it on but the dressing rooms are full so you decide to 'yolo'. Now, you believe you have got the correct dress size and you then purchase the dress, You love this dress to pieces by the way. You get home and you instantly try it on. The dress is too small and then you tear it trying to get it off which therefore means you are unable to return the dress. Da Dah. That is how I felt with the twinkies I understand that it is a terrible example but still. 

Okay, life is beginning to get stressful again and it is seriously stressing me out. I kept saying to myself 'yay two weeks to relax'. Nope. As soon as something good happens, something bad comes running straight up. YAY! Thank you life! You are amazeballs. (sarcasm).  But this blog is sort of a stress reliever, It is like that diary you had when you was 14 and you was going through puberty so you was an emotional wreck and you wrote in the diary to calm ya' down. This blog is like that sort of thing. I like it! Although I let you amazing people read it, I still love it! I want you human beings to laugh about my life because laughing is better than crying and laughing makes every individual happy! :-) 

I also do not understand the smily face thingy. :-) The nose just looks odd and I think this smiley face: :) looks a lot cuter... 

I went to doctors earlier and I was starting to feel hungry so afterwards I went to shop and purchased a giant crumpet. My hunger has now gone and I wasted 75p on a giant crumpet I no longer want to eat! GO LIFE! 

Instead of me being a miserable sloth, I hope you are all okay and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day because life is valuable no matter how irritating and annoying it can get! 

pHoTo Of ThE dAy: 

lel, it's a photo I took ages ago, da dah!

I might start posting blog posts off my phone because I just realised I can upload photos of everyday stuff instead of uploading photos of old stuff.

HhHhHhHhMmMmMmMmMmMmM

Motivation = 0%

In my absence from this wonderful invention I somehow managed to finish a UK series called 'Thirteen'. If you haven't already heard about it, it a drama about a girl who escaped from her kidnapper after being isolated for thirteen years. (Ironically she got abducted at the age thirteen too). But yeah, the drama basically follows her journey out of imprisonment along with her ex-friends and families side to it all. The drama is really good because you are not sure whether the girl is telling the truth or not but then you finally get to find out what happened to her and blah blah blah. I don't think that was a spoiler...! But yeah, on Sunday it was the last episode of it all and it was amazing and I want to watch it all again but nope. I shall not.

Anywho, today I actually left the house despising the fact I thought I was going to die. I went on a journey to see the boyf', go to the gym with the boyf' along with see the boyf's grandmother and go back to the boyf's house to argue about laptops/chromebooks. Basically, I have been considering buying a new laptop/computer for a long time now as the one I am currently using is on it's way outta' here. Usually I don't buy new things unless I have provided myself with a legit list of reasons. For example, the bikes got stolen so I invested in a new bicycle, legit reason right? Well, this laptop is running at 4 years old and is becoming really sluggish and meh. And how can I not forget to mention the screen. I am not actually sure what I did but I managed to damage the screen a wee bit.
So, I have been looking long and hard for cheap/good laptops or PC's. HOWEVER!!! I soon came across the chromebooks. The chromebooks are pretty much laptops with a huge twist. The huge twist is that they are only designed for web browsing. All I seem to do is web browse!! The prices of the chromebooks are in my price range and I feel as if they are designed for ME. (Not specifically me but yeah). Back to the boyf, we were sat around debating about whether or not I will regret buying a chromebook. I am starting to believe that it is a great idea but he is not and he keeps saying: 'don't say I told you so' if I buy one.

I AM REALLY PUZZLED ON WHAT I SHOULD DO GUYS!

I guess I might just think even longer and even harder on whether a chromebook are worth it or not.

Also, as you may have already read, I WENT TO THE GYM TODAY! I actually went. I am more surprised than my sister when I told her! Finding the motivation to get out of bed is hard so finding motivation for the gym? Do-nut get me started. But somehow I went and I really enjoyed the exercise! I am still considering whether to start the legit membership or not!!!

I still feel like a sloth.

I hope you all have had a good day anyway! I am going to try and find some form of motivation to tidy my room but in the mean time, adios amigos!! :-)

pHoTo Of ThE dAy:

on the plus side of everything, I managed to get a kinda cute photo of him!

I understand that the camera quality is really bad.

But I love him!

SEASONS GREETINGS!!!

I am pretty sure 'seasons greetings' is meant to be for Christmas, however I am not too sure. Anyway, Happy Easter My Fellow Amigos! I hope you are all doing extremely well! It feels so odd to be writing on here once again but I have dearly missed it! I love writing on here but I have many valid reasons for my absence. 

Okay, so, reason number one: 

I MET MY LEGIT FATHER! It sounds really crazy, (it was), but yes, I met my dad for the first ever time! It all started as I was getting ready to go to work and my mum just went to me: 'Sammy your dad has got in touch'. Now, I had a high amount of mixed feelings at work that night, it was really intense. It is a feeling I honestly cannot describe. Imagine if you have never seen your mother/father and they randomly come into your life? It is an odd feeling. But then my mum met up with him and they spoke, blah blah blah and then the following week I was set to meeting him! Now that was the scary part! 

Me, my mother had arranged to go to a pub, (more like a restaurant), to meet my dad. We got their first and I had so many nerves going through me it was unreal. But, I met him! I was expecting some bald dude to be like 'sup I am yo dada' but that was not the case! This man came to the table looking smart yet casual and then my mum went: 'This is your dad'. I was so nervous I didn't know what to say and I don't think he knew what to say either. 

After that I met up with him again and the bond we have is good but still weird. I love him but it's kinda sunk in but it hasn't but it's just nice to have that fatherly figure in my life! It has made me a lot happier and it has just been crazy! But yes, that s one of the main reasons to why I have not been writing! 

Reason number two for my absence was college! I had so much college work to do it has been unreal but I have done the vast majority of it and I have now broke off two for Easter. I am now highly happy. I finally have time to relax and chill! I am still working at le takeaway which can be classified as another reason for my absence but ya' know, working is just a part of life! 

Reason number three (or four): 

THE BOYFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. I love him to pieces! it has been awkward for me and him for the past couple of weeks due to the father situation but I think it has brought us closer. Well, thats what I think personally! I love him so so so so much. He can be a nugget sometimes but I personally think everyone in this universe has these nugget moments. For example, myself. I have many nugget moments. Many. 

Anyway the boyf' got a new haircut and it suites him so much. I still cannot get over it. His hair was going a wee bit cray cray but now its amazballs. Basically, its long at the top and cut short around the back and sides and it makes him look even more sophisticated and djsiaojfiorjiogwjeiofkeopkflwfkoaksdopa. 

I do love him. 

I hope everyone has been having a good time and I hope everyone has been a happy bunny! 

I also bought another two jars in the time I was absent. I am sorry. I do have an addiction. 

pHoTo Of ThE dAy: 

It is a BOOOAAAAATTT. 

I have just had a grand idea of your photos being placed here?

If you have a photo which you think is amazeballs then email it and I upload it onto le blog!

If you also have a blog I will advertise it too because I am cool like that!

So, this is the part were I apologize for any spelling errors or stupid word placements.

:-)

DO U WANT DOTTING?

SoSoSoSo, as some of you may know, I like to dot! Stippling has now become a hobby I am having way too much fun with. Therefore, I have decided to open free offers to dot some of you amazing people! I don't think that makes any sense. Basically, if you would like me to dot you or another individual please send the a picture of yourself or your other individual to: thatdenbykid@gmail.com

I was going to dot random people but I thought I might as well take requests from y'all because y'all are wonderful readers who stick by me a lot! Just to clarify, the dot piece will be A5 which, I believe, is half the size of A4! I can post them to you if you'd like an original copy, etc, etc, etc. This is a mini experiment for me so if you do not like the piece I produce then I shall apologise now. Also, it's free? Why not?

Anyway, life has been rather busy lately. All I have done is work and spend money and visit people and more work then college work and urgh. It jut feels as if I haven't had a break yet! It is so tiring which is why I would like to dot some more purely because it relaxes me in the spare time that I have!

I have developed a strong love for David Bowie. I already loved him but now the love has become stronger all thanks to 'Life on Mars?'. I LOVE YOU DAVID BOWIE.

Speaking of love, like usual, I love him very much! The boyf' is spectacular and adorable. I want to hug him because he was ill but then he went to the gym instead of college so the tightness of the hug would not be as tight as it usually would be. Many apologies boyf'.

I also miss the brother so much! I haven't seen him in ages :( I wish he lived closer to me or I lived closer to him so I could see him all the time. I cannot wait until I can drive so we can go on mini adventures and I get to see him more!

Oh and yeah, I am never ever eating or touching ben and jerrys ice cream ever again. They don't even deserve capital letters the son of ddsioadsoajdioajdsadsoadioad. That is honestly something I definitely do not recommend. DO NOT TOUCH THE STUFF PLEASE!

PhOtO oF tHe DaY:

I posted this a LONG while ago but I wanted to post it again so y'all know what I am talking about when it comes to dots.

DOTS ARE EXPRESSIVE

ps, sorry for appalling spelling and disgusting use of punctuation. I am not a professional. I do wish I was but I am afraid I am not. Sorry. 

pineapples

The title is irrelevant and random just like I am. Wahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I would love to handle cameras or become a producer of a random TV show. Like, I cool would that be? Just managing your very own TV show which an audience can be formed from then furthermore, a community. A fan base.

Okay, I am thinking way too much like I usually do but it is so nice to be typing back on here! I miss the good old days of writing about my random life. Now I want a cup of tea but tea is strong. Strong as in caffeine by the way!! I need to lay off the caffeine but it is the only thing that provides energy.

CATCH UP WITH DENBY TIME!!!!!!

I had a two hour driving lesson the other day which was eventful and very stressful. I completed many junctions which also provided myself with many heart attacks. (Obviously not literally otherwise I would be in a hospital but still).

I also read a book within 48 hours(ish). It was such a good crime novel. The title of the book was 'Ice Cold' by Tess Gesseten (badly spelt last name). IT WAS AN AMAZING BOOK IN WHICH I WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE! I love crime/thrillers and that was exactly what this book was. Basically, a family relative of mine fell ill and had to have an operation so she had asked me to do a few jobs for her. One of the jobs was to take a couple library books back. I began reading one of the books and IT WAS AMAZINGGGGG! (Tip, always read books which the elderly read).

Also, the boyf' is my soul mate and that is a fact! I had the most amazing valentines day with him! We went for a cute meal and then watched 'Zoolander 2' in cinemas. It is an extremely funny film which I also recommend. I just realised that I recommend a lot of things on this blog. So, if you enjoy reading this blog and also enjoy recommendations then yeah, stay tuned folks!

i LIKE spoons.

Ermmmmm, what else......Oh, I got my new bike which I am taking so much care of since the last incident. But yeah I am definitely unfit so that is my ultimate goal recently. I hate being unfit with a passion! It is horrible! I am also going to begin going to the gym once Denby has time and isn't dying! WOOP WOOP!

PhOtO oF tHe DaY:

I was proud of this photo.

But he isn't very fond of it.

But still.

I love him.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOO

I AM ALIVE

I seriously need to stop saying: 'I AM ALIVE'. Like, obviously I am alive DUHHHH I WOULDN'T BE HERE IF I WASN'T ALIVE. 

Anyway, CATCH UP TIME WITH DENBY! 

Firstly I thought I was going to die from sepsis because I have a cut on my finger and I am pretty certain that its infected. 

Secondly, me and le boyf are amazeballs.

Thirdly, all I think about is food. I really want to start le gym. 

Fourthly, I have a driving lesson tomorrow.

Fifth, I have had a really bad cold which has almost killed me.

Six: TV is great. 

7: I refuse to pay money for a plastic bag.

8. I have really bad stomach ache.

9. I am just ill.

10. To be continued...

URURURURURURUR

So, Friday. I worked until 11pm. I went home. I went to sleep. I woke up. My bikes were gone from my garden. I thought my mum had moved them. But nope. They were stolen. THANK YOU TO THOSE WONDERFUL MATEY'S WHO STOLE THEM. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE MADE MY LIFE GREAT. THANKS.

I struggle with my weight okay and cycling calmed me down but now I don't have a bike to calm myself.

I am trying to be happy but it has really upset me. I am going to get a new bike if I don't hear anything about these bikes but it is the concept of what happened. Why steal? Why do such a thing? How could anyone live with themselves? Just the thought of going into someone else's property and stealing something sentimental makes me upset.

URGHHHH.

They may have only been bikes but to me they were my anti-depressants. Yes, it sounds really stupid and sad and pathetic but urgh.

The worst part is that one of the bikes was my boyf's and now i feel even worse because it was my responsibility to take care of it but nope.

Okay. rant over.

Anyway, there is some good news. I am getting a new phone! I love my phone which I have now but the one thing which is annoying is the camera's on it. The back camera is okay but it has a front camera which can't even detect a face let a loan colours. I cannot wait because I can now take pictures on the go and it has tons of storage which also means I can download apps including blogger. Installing blogger means I can write on the go! EEEeeeeekkkkkk.

Anyway, after my rant and what not. I am going to go and rest because I am still upset. I can't bike to college now:(

I hope everyone has a good day and I hope everyone is positive and happy because everyone deserves to be happy.

PhOtO oF tHe DaY:

I found this picture a while ago.
I love little illustrations like this.

It's cute.

Ps, I apologise for any spelling mistakes, blah blah blahhhhhh.

Yes, I am alive.

I died mentally but physically, nope. Basically, I have been very busy last week! I attended college every day, then I went to work four days in a row. It has been very tiring. BUT, something amazing did happen. I HAD MY FIRST DRIVING LESSON!!! Ever since I was little I have always wanted to drive and as soon as I turned 17 last August, I had been waiting for my first ever driving lesson. Then I finally had it. WAHOOOOOO, BROWNIE POINTS FOR SAMSAM! I managed to drive the car and go up to 3rd gear and back down again. It was amazing! It has seriously motivated me in all aspects of life. My next lesson is today. I am slightly nervous but my excitement is overwhelming that factor.

I hope everyone has been okay. I have dearly missed writing on here because there are no rules or guidelines unlike my college work. Speaking of college, it has been going good for once. I have almost finished my huge A2 Pointillism, (stippling) piece which has taken me over a month to do. And the only lesson I am slacking a bit is science purely because I rather dislike practical work and that is all that I have seem to do. I am also slacking in taking photos, I need to take more PHOTOSSSSSSSSS for you all to seeeeeeeee.

I have college in 20 minutes and quite frankly, I would rather stay here and write all day about my adventures in life but nope. My 100% attendance is apparently more important.

OOOOOOOOOO, I forgot to mention le bro. I finally managed to see him this weekend just gone and it was AWESOME! I miss the good old days of just chilling and messing around but in a mature way. It was honestly amazeballs. (Just to clarify, I hadn't seen le bro in about a month).

Le boyf' has to be mentioned if the bro is. Me and le boyf' are amazeballs. I oddly miss him even though I see him almost every day! I cannot wait for Valentines day though! I have the best gift(s) idea ever! But I need to find a date in which I can get these gifts.....hmmmmmmm.

I must scadoodle because now I have 15 minutes to get to college so I hope everyone reading this, (and everyone else in the world), has a wonderful day because Tuesday's are wonderful day days. Anyway, farewell, I shall speak to you all soon!

PhOtO oF tHe DaY:

I took this a while back purely because I was baffled by the statue's sandals.

Sandals are weird to me.

Don't ask.

January Blues (or blus)

Today is the 18th of January and the time is 08:49. I am currently at college writing this blog on a laptop with two keys missing. Life is great. I don't know what I am on about now. 

Anyway, winter has finally arrived. I have witnessed a blizzard, hale stone along with ice cold rain. I have also witnessed ice which I have to admit that it is the best thing about winter. I just love sliding around...I am a child stuck in a 17 year old body but still look like a child. YAY. 

I have loads to write about a moment ago but now I have just hit a wall which is probably known as writers block I think? I am not to sure. 

I have a new song(s) recommendation!!! Arctic Monkeys - Knee Songs. It is such an amazing song! I cannot get over it. The funky tune and the lyrics is purely sensational. (Yeah...I am being a little bit over dramatic but ah well).  Another song I have discovered and highly recommend is X ambassadors - Renegades. This is a song which is actually in the charts somewhere but I like it. Usually popular songs don't appease me but this one is amazing. If you like Imagine Dragons then this song is definitely worth putting on your playlist. 

Urghhh, Monday means I have work to do but I could happily write on this blog for days on end. But no...WOOOORRRRRKKKKKKK. I have loads of work to do and to catch up on. For example, I have tons of artwork which I want to do but I need to get my health and social care work done before I can do art purely because I have spent way too much time on my artwork. Oops. 

I cannot decide on what music to listen too whilst I do work. You see, the problem I have is, I am limited to what I can listen to as I have only certain songs on my phone and the rest is on my Kindle. URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.  

Anywho, I apologize about the boring post, I shall update you later once I have time. 

FAREWELL! I hope you all have a good day/evening/night. 

PhOtO oF tHe DaY: 

this is a photo I took last year, I love blossom trees in summer.

Disney Party?

Yes. Denby went to a Disney themed party. Basically, one of my close friends turned 18 and she threw a Disney themed party which meant that those who were invited had to dress has a Disney character. So, me and the boyf' went as Minnie and Mickey Mouse. Sadly, he didn't have a Mickey Mouse costume...so...he had a marvellous idea of printing out an A4 label saying 'Mickey Mouse' and then stuck it to the back of a t-shirt. I have to say it was pretty funny. On the other hand, Denby actually had a Minnie Mouse costume and I regret wearing it. Boobage is the reason why and I shall not go into detail with that. 

Anyway, the party was really fun but me and the boyf' didn't drink and got tired really easily. So, we wandered off back to his house were we chilled and watched the documentary 'Catfish'. If you haven't already seen it or heard of it, please, go watch it. It is such a good film/documentary. I don't usually watch films twice but this film I have seen about 10 times and still can't get over how good it is. 

Speaking of documentaries, I watched 'Blackfish' which is a documentary about SeaWorld and how they basically 'preserve' the whales and basically how bad it is. I definitely recommend watching that along with 'Catfish'. (ps, they sound alike but they are definitely not in the same category or genre of film). 

I just realised we are 10 days into 2016 and I haven't really kept up with any of my New Year Resolutions. I might start 2016 tomorrow since tomorrow is a Monday and Mondays are the most cliche date to start anything new. (Most commonly; Diets). 

I would love to stay and chat to you, (aka myself), but I must scadoodle and consume some food with the family. Farewell amigo's. I hope you have or had a lovely day/evening/night and I shall speak to you, (myself), again very shortly. 

PhOtO oF tHe DaY: 

Why yes, it is such a clear picture of a picture(s).

But, its of me and le boyf' at le partayy.

We had fun.

Liebster Award

Soooooo, I recently have been nominated by the amazing Abby for the Liebster Award. I didn't have a clue in the world what it was until Abby tagged me and it honestly looks really fun.
By the way, please go check Abby and her blog out, it is really amazing and her artwork is un-real! http://abbyandthepens.blogspot.co.uk/

There are rules to this thing and they areeee:
1 - Link back to the person who tagged you...2 - Answer all of the questions...3 - Tag 11 bloggers who have less than 1000 readers...4 - Ask them all 11 questions...5 -Let them know that you have tagged them...I honestly have no clue why I added ellipses to the end of every rule...

1. Last song I have listened to?Halsey - Hurricane. Honestly, I found it on YouTube and it is such a good song. Highly recommend.

2. Favourite Children's Book?Omg Omg Omg. I have too many. My ultimate favourite is definitely James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl. If you haven't read it...please...go read it! :D

3. Favourite Quote?"Just take it with a pinch of salt" - My Nan.

4. Ice-Cream or Cupcake?This is really hard to answer but I guess I have to say cupcake purely because I have sensitive teeth. Ice-cream is amazing but cupcake wins this battle!!!

5. If you could live anywhere for a month, where would it be?Straight away, America. More specifically, Florida. My dream is to go to America and simply rent a car and drive around the place. I don't know where my obsession began but I honestly love the place yet I have never been. I don't even have a legit reason to go but still!

 9. When was the last time you laughed and why?When I was with the boyf'' because he always makes me smile and laugh. Simple.

10. What is something that simply makes you happy?My Bed?

11. The best thing about blogging so far?It definitely has to be the people I have come across. I made this blog so I can portray my feelings and learn how to write properly but the people who have supported me and made me smile with great comments are definitely the best thing about blogging.

Teenage Blogger Central

I was browsing the web, as I usually do, and I came across Teenage Blogger Central. I was instantly impressed by the format of the blog and especially impressed by their initial purposes. Basically, the blog promotes other bloggers to blog readers, (that is how I impersonate the blog). But the idea is simply amazing! I wanted to find some more blogs out in the internet world for myself to read and then I came across Teenage Blogger Central and I found exactly what I was looking for. A blog full of blog posts to read. Who would of thought of such an interesting idea?!? Also, if you want to find more viewers for your blog, you can simply register on the blog basically advertising your own blog and the admin will advertise your blog on the blog. (I JUST CONFUSED MYSELF AND PROBABLY YOU, I AM SO SORRY). But yeah, you should probably go check it out!

I apologise for the really made spelling and grammar. I need to learn how to write again.

But, the link for the amazing blog issssss:

HAVE FUN AMIGO'S!

I am turning Healthy.

I am turning Vegan. Hopefully. I am quite shocked with myself but I am determined to do it. I hate the fact animals get hurt and killed for us humans. I am currently undergoing a lot of research about it but I believe I can do. I understand the difference between Vegetarianism and Vegan-ism and I definitely want to pursue a Vegan lifestyle, not so much Vegetarian. I will miss a lot of foods but I'd rather save a chicken than eat one any day! I am hoping that this lifestyle will make me feel happier in myself. But anyway, I will attempt this crazy idea of mine and I shall document my journey through this blog I guess.

So, it is the 3rd day into 2016 and I am feeling a little better thanks to him! I saw him today and he has made me so so so so happy! I love him so much! I am one lucky chicken nugget, (I won't be saying that any more).

But yesssss, the internet is once again working in the Denby household. I am even more happy then when I already was because Denby cannot live without WiFi. Okay, that does sound pretty bad. What is happening to me. I AM AN INTERNET ADDICT SAVE ME PLEASE.

AWWWWWW I REALLY WANT A PET CHICKEN THEY ARE SO SO SO SO CUTE. I WOULD FEED IT AND STROKE IT AND FEED IT AND RECORD THE NOISES IT MAKES AND YEAH. I am really really weird. SSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssssssSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
