It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside


On the 14th of May 2011 I stood in the guest tent, and heard this song played live. I was at Radio One's Big Weekend in Carlisle.

I let the words jingle in my ears. It's an old song, but never ever has the words to a song been so relevant.

When you can't describe what love is - listen to this.

I dedicate this to love of my life. Never ever have I loved anyone the way I love you. For the rest of our lives we will remember standing in that tent trying to fight back the tears.

It's a little bit funny
this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money
but boy if i did
I'd buy a big house where
we both could live

So excuse me forgetting
but these things I do
see i've forgotten if
they're green or they're blue
anyway the thing is
what i really mean
yours are the sweetest eyes i've ever seen

And you can tell everybody,
this is your song
It may be quite simple but
now that is done
I hope you don't mind, i hope you don't mind
that i put down in words
how wonderful life is now your in the world

If i was a sculptor
but then again no
or girl who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much but
it's the best i can do
My gift is my song and
this one's for you

And you can tell everybody
this is your song
It may be quite simple but
now that is done
I hope you don't mind, i hope you don't mind
that i put down in words
How wonderful life is now your in the world

I sit here and I gaze out of the window, I ponder how much the view has changed since I moved in 12 months ago.

The buildings have not changed, the road outside has not altered it's direction or where it leads, but it looks different.

What has really changed is my outlook and I now see in a different light.
It's a bit cliche and for that I apologise, but it's true.

Today, I have reached a Milestone. WE have reached a Milestone. Me and @nettofabulous have been together 18 months. At 7:38 tonight it will be 18 months to the minute that our eyes first met over a snowy Railway station car park in a small cumbrian market town.

During the last 18 months I have been on an amazing journey and have experienced some outstanding acts of generosity.

There is one thing that has been right by my side throughout this. One thing that has helped me through the deepest and darkest hours, so dark that the shadows are overflowing with painful memories.
'It' has followed me through tough decisions.
'It' has shared my joy and revelled in my happiness.
'It' has made me cry
'It' has made being alone enjoyable
'It' has filled tea breaks
'It' has made spray the contents of my glass from my mouth in laughter.

'It' has often been the only insight to my untidy mind.

'It' is more commonly known as Twitter.

I have met some amazing people, I have followed a few individuals through some of the toughest times of their lives, I have lay awake at night thinking about the people I follow and praying to give them strength. I have checked time lines in anticipation and offered my shoulder in support. I have often been moved by peoples words and at times disgusted.I have felt the buzz of excitement as I share in a followers happy occasion.

Twitter has at times acted like the over flow pipe from my brain, when it gets too crowded up there the overflow pipe dribbles out and pours into other people's timeline.

I wouldn't change Twitter for the world. Without being melodramatic, I'm really not sure where I would be without twitter. I'm pretty positive I wouldn't have personally achieved what I have without its constant crutch of support.

So, Thank you Twitter.
Most importantly Thank you to all the individuals who form twitter, to all you brave enough to let us in to your mind and life.

I can sit here typing this, sipping coffee because you helped me to believe in myself.

Thank you.
