Maybe

I'm strong
But I break
I'm stubborn
And I make plenty of mistakes
Yeah I'm hard
And life with me is never easy
To figure out, to love I'm jaded but oh so lovely
All you have to do is hold me
And you'll know and you'll see just how sweet it can be
If you'll trust me, love me, let me
Maybe.
Maybe.

Constant

Some things in life are Constants, and others are Variables.

Sometimes, Maths - and life - comes down to deciding which parameters are variable, and which you will hold constant.

Will it be x?
or y?
perhaps z?

Location?
Career?
Test scores?
Partner?
Alcohol intake?
Dreams?
Ambitions?
Dinner?
Outfit?
Income?
Morals?
Preferences?
Shoes?
Thinking too much?

While pondering my time-series assignment I suddenly realised.

The only constant is me.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. As we let our light shine we consciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others" - Nelson Mandela

Curry night

James
9:03am Mar 11th
Hello all,

I have some vouchers for Weatherspoons that will get us two curry meals for £6. These are normally £5 each and include a drink. I only have three vouchers however... (B can you help out here as they were put through the door? Or Bill, you may have even got some?)

We are limited to which curry's we can have though, the choices are either a Chicken Tikka Masala, a Lamb Rogan Josh or their Goan Vegetable Curry but we are not restricted to a specific day. Weatherspoons have a curry night every Thursday, just like we do but we can go any day we like (although Thursday would be the obvious choice!)

I open the floor for further discussion....

I use the floor to respond to my Right Honourable Friend. I would like to state that the constituency of Watsonland will be voting for a positive movement towards "Thursday night curry with vouchers evening" to be implemented with immediate effect.

We also move to improve the name of the event to "Cheaper Curry Evening".

We release the floor.

His Royal Highness, the Duke of Cornwall, Honorary member of the Household and Defender of the West, would at first like to commend the Right Honorable Mr James for his dedication to the study of the curry.

The Duke would like to pass on that he is indeed committed to this ideal although sadly regrets that no such voucher has ever come into his possession.

That is all.

The Islamic Sultanate of Pierreistan fears this proposed western imperialistic invasion the free states of Weatherspoon, combined with the clear western capitalist intents, will take a long period of time as this soldier of Allah has work to do.

I wont be able to go to swimming, but ill go to dinner, without staying on for drinks afterwards.

May the grace and peace of Allah be upon all of you,Shah Pierre I al-Mohammed, Sultan of Pierreistan , chosen by Allah to lead his people to the promised land.

Reasons

So Jennifer, Why do you want to work for Big Airline?

Jen's brain : Cause you've got a forest in your lobby, streetlamps down your "main street" and I get 90% off air travel. You bought me lunch. Oh, and I need the money.

Jen's mouth: Well, I've always seen myself working for a highly respected company - which is at the forefront of it's field - ..........

Sometimes, i hate my mouth.

Security: Hello Madam, Can I take your name and reason for visit please.

Jen: Umm, yeah babe, got a lecture in a hour or so...
James: Well I just wanted to talk to you about something
Jen: Are you dumping me? Cause you know, we live together, it will probably get messy.
James: No no no. Well a little.
Jen: Eh???
James: I'm dumping your shoes.
Jen: ... my... shoes?
James: Yes. Just the ones down stairs though. The thousands under your bed are fine.
Jen: why? which pair are downstairs?
James: Pairsssssssssssss, plural babe!
Jen: ok, which 2 pairs of shoes are downstairs!
James: No, not 2... 5!!!! You have 3 pairs of shoes in the kitchen, 1 pair outside the bathroom and one pair of rather kinky boots in my room. But those can stay there, i quite like the feel of leather against my skin****
Jen: 5 pairs!! oh. oooohhh. i was looking for those.
James: I'll give you a hand carrying them upstairs......

James: Jennifer!!!
Jen: it wasn't me?
James: There are another 2 pairs outside your door woman!
