Neglect!

It was all going so well with regular updates, but alas, life has gotten in the way yet again.
Ive been pretty busy the last week or so...I guess...ha. We spent a long weekend at my parents whilst I was in town for a couple of photoshoots (which my next proper blog will be about), to get glasses (photos also to follow) and made some personal calls for a change.
It was soo nice to see a friendly face and have just a normal chat. A visit to Gills is never short of smiles, even more so now with her beautiful little girl Grace around and I really enjoyed catching up :)

Upon our arrival home, the last of the Christmas preparations have been being made. Like every year I strive to achieve what I call 'Home Alone' worthy present wrapping and challenge anyone to a wrap off!
Other than that Ive been tring my best to introduce my man to the wonders of The Ultimate Fighter and Lost. In fact Im off to watch some more!

Watch this space for a new photography post in the next few days :D x

SAVE MIGUEL!

Another quick MMA realated blog entry, post UFC 140.(Yey, I got to watch it live! So good to have proper internet access again.)
Typing from my phone so I'll keep this short...

Overall a freakin well exciting card, with a (technically) new tie for fastest KO by Korean Zombie, a snapped arm for Nog and yet another win for Bones Jones.

Duane 'Bang' Ludwig will always hold the fastest KO for most people,  but that takes nothing away from Chan Sung Jung with his 7second stoppage, hes always exciting to watch and I  expected a good fight. I was chuffed for Little Nog too for his 1st round TKO of Tito (who I dislike with a passion) via body shots and was surprised that he made no excuses in the post fight interview...!
The night hit a downer with another of my least favorite fighters, Frank Mir, defeating Big Nog, it was sick to see his arm snap :( and to round off the evening Jon Jones remained undefeated to my mispleasure. Although, all props to Machida for having Bones rocked in the 1st and not tapping to the standing guillotine in the 2nd.

Moving on.
The more important reason for blogging tonight.
The fact of Miguel Torres being realesed from the UFC.
Disgraceful, plain and simple and on the UFCs behalf not Miguels. Anything said on twitter should be taken with a pinch of salt especially with jokes reapeated from else where. Fair enough the company had to cover their own backs but I cant help thinking theres something else to fuel his dissmissal when a week beforehand, Forrest Griffin got away with a pretty similar case.
Whatever happened its certain Torres will be a huge loss from the UFC and we can only hope he is given a second chance.
Enjoy this picture of Me and the man in question from the UK expo last year.:)
SAVE MIGUEL!!

The Happiest Place On Earth.

Disneyland. Full Stop.
I'd live there if I could. I've been feeling a little down lately, on and off and for no particular reason :(
I wish I could just fly away to Disneyland and get a big hug off Mickey!

Its been almost two years since my last visit which is now, regrettably, tainted but I still regard it as one of the best times of my life. I woke up super early everyday in the best of moods, enjoyed each day to the fullest and fell asleep at night with a smile on my face. There's no way you could be unhappy at Disneyland, unless you are a heartless cow, 'cause every tiny detail is superb. I just wish that a certain someone would want to come with me in the future and let me prove how magical the place is. It bugs me when people say they're 'too old' for Disney too, like I'm 21 and am currently sitting watching Dumbo, thoroughly enjoying it. Its also the only place in the world that I would ever be relatively happy in winter!

One thing that I am interested to find more out about is the speculation that Disney, especially the older original animated feature films are full of sexual and drug references. First mentioned by my other half, I have since Googled the apparent claims and think it ridiculous how far some people will go to try and degrade the Disney brand. It is even hinted that Walt Disney himself was apart of the Illuminati!
Lets start with Alice in Wonderland, one of the more believable allegations.

• She is 'Chasing the white Rabbit'.
• The Caterpillar smokes a hookah.
• Alice eats 'Mushroom' to grow larger and smaller.
• They are all 'Acidtripping' at the Mad Hatters tea party. 

I do agree the movie itself is quite trippy and things could easily be mistaken as drug references but I can't understand why the Disney corporation would knowingly include such things in their productions.
Next, Snow White.

• An alternative name for Cocaine.
• The names of the dwarfs can be side affects of drug use.

There are many other story's thrown about on the internet to say that movies such as 'The Little Mermaid', 'The Lion King', 'The Rescuers' and 'Aladdin' to name a few include sexual subliminal messages and promote violence.
I know none of what I have read effects my love for Disney, what do you think?
