The Phobia of Feet

Feet, i cant understand the phobia, if im honest with you.

And more importantly im yet to meet a MAN who is scared of feet.
So my question in this highly disused and forgotten blog, is are you scared of feet and why?

I could understand if someone said they were disgusting but not scary. Any who to celebrate this weird phobia ive decided to find the top ten worst feet on the web as decided by myself. enjoy........

10) The Fishy.


Well ive got to admit the red nail varnish is great and all but I have a slight issue with the fact that there are SQUIRMY WATER BASED CREATURES feeding on the DEAD skin.....

9) The Squashed.


Is that his bone sticking out?

8) The Blistered.


Inside this dome of skin is enough air for a human being to last 7 hours underwater.

7) The Burnt.



This is why your mother always told you to wait for a few minutes before getting in the bath.

6) The ... Tanned


whats worse the tan lines......... or the VEINS

5) The Logan


Im not even sorry mate.

4) The Cursed.



Im cringing and its painful

3) The Impaled


i would like to know how he managed that as well

2) The Chinese



this is real and this is a method of chines footbinding which gives women small and "desirably" sized feet

1) The Chrispy.


And without further ado one of the most disgusting photographs on planet earth.

Well done if you got through them all, i plan to do a post every week after youth group (for those in youth who bother to read this) keep posted, i promise i wont be this disgusting every time.

HAPPY FOOT PHOBIA DAY

Looking from a neutral percpective

Well that's an easy thing to do........

Well it is for me anyway, i can look at someone else and have an opinion in seconds. I even have a parlor tick where i can say word for word what people are texting to their boyfriend etc and understand what the person is thinking behind the text. Nice 21st century idea of a parlor trick.

but why is it when it comes to looking at your own life something always gets in the way of the neutral perspective something always gets in the way of the plain obvious.

This is the same for everyone and the people who would disagree with that are usually the people who arnt looking at their life from a neutral perspective. Unfortunately for me at the minute the one overruling thing which blinds me from the latent obvious truth is my self esteem.

dont get me wrong

I AM NOT A FACEBOOK DEPRESSIVE WHO POSTS ABOUT HOW UGLY I AM

im actually rather synical about that, but even I, Bruv, feels self concious. I know i dont look like it but hey this is what happens to an 18 year old lad i suppose. (i dont know why, i never used to care lol)

See lets take the good old relationship debate....

" im just too (insert irrational derogitary value here) for them, they are out of  my league so blatently"

I know, its sad isnt it. At one point or another most of us have though a variation on this. Instead of seeing the blind obvious truth that if Russel Brand gets to marry Katy Perry then its just proof that your pathically small bad value means nothing.

Thats fine and all and you could probably say that to your mate going through the same thing but when its your own life?!...

Theres one factor that gets in the way, and Thats our emotions. (why is it that when you say the word emotion a blog suddenly sounds deep?) Im sure that if it meant something to you, even "2+2" wouldn't seem so obvious.

I know people who have bottled out on a lot of things or chosen the wrong things to do because of the way they feel. Because instead of keeping a level head they've sided with their feelings.

Thats like trying to fly on a thermal because its the one thing you can feel around you, regardless of where its taking you. Sometimes you end up in the best place and sometimes you end up 10,000 feet over swansea with no easy way home.
We were given emotions to know what to feel about something, we were given our brains to understand why we feel that way and we were given our mind to make decisions accordingly.

Dont decide your life on how you feel, decide your life on the reasons why you feel. That way you keep a neutral outlook on your life and things that you havnt noticed about yourself will become plain to see.

Well that went well

I tried to make a video blog at stathern, and im not sorry to say that i haven't included it on my blog because it was an awful awful attempt at a video blog.

MOOOVING ON

There was one success at stathern lodge that no-one expected.

Sh'ed.

A card game normally only present in 6th forms and colleges however on a strange weekend away at the freezing house of plastic mattresses things can change. (the next bit only really has any relevance if you've played the game, (mr sommers if your reading this particuler bracket then yes you have lost it))

there was a tournament of 8 players and each of them "players" were made up of a team of 3.

By showing these children this game i may have started addictions to the game which may have caused the majority of Saturday evening to be filled with young youth screaming "DAMM IT HE PLAYED A 3!"

Only after this point did i realize i may have a slight obsession with it myself. Not just me though.
I once spent a lunch with a few of the mez making cards out of paper because no-one had brought a pack into college. We even drew pictures of us as the picture cards

(i was the king of clubs)

nothing can compare to a game of sh'ed with a few mates apart from Logan as the Jack of clubs

btw if you cant be bothered to read the whole of my posts just look at http://bruvsnippets.tumblr.com/ for a rough overview of my opinionated life and any interesting findings i see on t'internet, funny quotes of famous or familiar people and overall it looks bett than my blog even if it is less detailed so why not.

The weeks to prepare for stathern

Im not talking about the overall organisation for the weekend.

Im talking about the first video blog ever to appear on this blogg.

At stathern there is an appeal to the diary room being there again.

Although very likely this is still an "if" BUT if the diary room makes a re-entry then there will be a blog done by myself on this very website. I know its incredible.

Unfortunately i have no idea what to talk about on this. So here is my appeal, people of the world please comment on the Facebook link that you have clicked on to find this very page, and tell me what to talk on.

I could talk about stathern, but for those who are there they will have no need to watch it and i would much rather find something surprisingly random to talk about that would be another interesting insight into my brain

SO PLEASE SUGGEST A SUBJECT FOR ME TO TALK ON.

Anywho....... it is only about 3/4 weeks till stathern and anyone who is 18 or younger is welcome to go.

Unfortunately its very much like grapevine in the way that if i was to describe it, the cold rooms of a lower temperature to outside, the looque warm showers (i know its not the right spelling) and the sink pee'ers....... you know who you are.

Saying that though this is one of the main events of my year and there are many withing youth who will agree with me, such a good event that people remember as the social happening to talk about.

ITS WORTH GOING!!!!

If your interested in going spending some time with some dynamic characters with a chance to learn something about God without being bored or patronised.

Please if your interested comment again on the link ive posted on facebook and ill have an invite sent to you with more details.

BLAST FROM THE PAST

Last year on the 24th of April i posted some rules....... rules that im interested to see how they've changed.....

THE 20 RULES OF BEING  NEAR A LEIGH

ok so if you have seen me and my "lovely" brother dave next to eachother then you may notice after some time there are certain rules we expect the rest of the population to abide by.

there are loads so im not going to list them all just 20 of them..... lol
remember some of these rules are made by dave and i dont agree with them and some are made by me which dave thinks makes me "gay"

starting off at number

1. If it is possible to have your meal in a large version, then thats what your eating. otherwise your just a wimpy disgrace of a human being.


2. whats a vegetarian?

3. over 6 foot you are tall, below that you need to grow some more, gimli

4. "Bruv will never be a man"

5. stuff the shotgun rule im bigger than you are

6. If and when possible thoult shall mock wendels for his "titans"

7. If someone is perfectly fitted into a steryotype that is considered to be inferior or just ridiculous ( note the over bolded "i" and say it where necessary) then they are to be mocked either by imitating them or giving a screwed up/ constipated disgruntalled look.

8. THOULT SHALL GIVE ME THE REMOTE

9. The TV has 20 sound settings, lets find the 21st

10. whoever says that we look like our father should be talked down to with a calm yet stern "Can it"

11. Bruv is his name, what made you think otherwise

12. the leigh brothers do not look like eachother. well done, micheal jackson looked nothing like jamain

13. Someone outside of being a leigh will have the same opinion as said leigh. difference is too hard to comprehend

14. dave is stronger than bruv. may god save you if you say otherwise to dave

15. Bruv hasnt worked all day hes been at school

(heres bruvs section)
16. Dave is a burke and therefore all comments should be thought over if they have come from his mouth.

17. At home dave is nice enough to crack bruvs toes (without warning or permission). at some point remind him of his cruelness

18. Any man doubting the fitness of cheryl cole should get out.

19. neither of the leighs have ever counted the calories in their food. neither should you

20. if a film has no action, death or something to stimulate the mind within the first ten minutes do not be surprised if it is swiftly turned off.

and there we have it the 20 rules of being near a leigh brother hope you had a little inside chuckle(or LIC)

GRAAAPEERRS

Thats what my parents call it, and is the bible basher's social event of the year.

Grapevine 2011 was legendary although i wasn't there for half of it.
If i was to advertise it none of you would want to go.

Where Is it u may ask?
LINCOLN.

Where is it?
LINCOLNSHIRE SHOWGROUND

So it's a field?
YES

What do you do while your there?
HAVE CHURCH SERVICES TWICE A DAY.

SO to round up its in a field in the forgotten county of the country, standing in bible bashing services for twice a day.

That would be true if the services didn't speak to you in the way that they did.
Also that would be forgetting the people that go and the banter that ensues.

Me playing football and ending up beached again was a good note. We won 8, 2.

Sleeping in the worst stink of all. Dan ley's tent.

Staying up till all hours with people who you love to spend time with.

Skipping.

And spending the time in my dads jacket. Strange experience when a jacket fits you in every area apart from girth. well that's what you get for forgetting your own.

And last but not least was Tom Cast being kegged by his sister.

It takes alot of people to make a good thing sound bad.

Cowboys and aliens.

Well it took a lot of people in a board meeting to think up that name,,,

"Well paul what does it include?"
Cowboys against aliens.
"I know what we shall call it...."

What a way to make a film seem worse than it is, give it a name that sums up the entire film in three words.
Even the Return of the king puts a downer on it. I mean even Tolkien didn't decide that name because it was a big fat spoiler before anyone spent the 4 and a half hours watching it.

There's been a history of film names that have done the same. Some with oscar winning actors, the men who stare at goats is one of them. Even star wars, the return of the jedi, the empire strikes back, a new hope. In fact if you wanted to sum up what happens just look at the titles in order and you can work it out.

Theres a new film coming out soon and this one is just brilliant.

Its called.....

THE THING


Im not even joking. Theres a guy who has written a script. It gets picked up by the director and somewhere in that process someone decides to call it that. Perhaps its a homage to the classic film...

THE BLOB


At least this has comedic value.
