The Wild Robot - Review

After a shipwreck, an intelligent robot called Roz is stranded on an uninhabited island. To survive the harsh environment, Roz bonds with the island’s animals and cares for an orphaned baby goose.

THE WILD ROBOT represents the pinnacle of DreamWorks Animation. A wondrous tale of parenthood, survival, kindness & coexistence in our natural living world. With big-hearted storytelling, plenty of laughs, phenomenal voice acting, and a beautifully epic score that captures the grandeur of Chris Sanders’ vision, it’s a crowd-pleasing & emotionally stirring story that not only deserves to win Best Animated Feature but also to be nominated for Best Picture.

I loved it, the animation was great. I cried at the end. Furthermore, I want another one, please DreamWorks.

A Year Has Come To Pass

So it's story time.

It has been a year since my life went flipped turned upside down. Time to look back on everything April 13, 2022 to now.....

13/04/22

My girlfriend left me. Turns out she was seeing someone else, a guy I never liked who I also worked with. She claimed to hate him too, but it's obvious lies. Anyway after the split we agreed to keep in touch and be friends. Honestly, I was so hurt and upset. I was angry too. I wanted to hurt myself or worse, kill myself.

I had so much racing through my head, I immediately called Jared, and we met up I went to his. Hugged his mum and hugged Jared and went home played some games to try and just get some sort of calm to my feelings. All the while I was messaging and chatting to those people who were there for me. My family, Annika (Zin),Layla, Lewis G, Jared, James.

A few days after the break-up I went to Birmingham with my best bro James to see Ghost who are one of my fave bands and also Impera is 2022's best album.

I had unhelpful advice and messages from people also. The bad shit I was told was "go get another girl, have a rebound.", "best way over a relationship is getting with someone else", "oh she was your first it's ok don't worry these things happen.". She was not my first, she was my first adult relationship though. No I'm not a rebound or sleep around guy. This just added to my anger because boy did I feel so much anger.

A few days passed, and I messaged her about getting my things back and was left on read. She seen my message and did not reply.

In that time, I played hooky with my previous employer for a week following the break-up and I went on holiday and I handed in my notice of immediate departure soon as I returned. It was the same day as my departure that I returned my ex's things to her home and seen her dad one last time, whilst I was still left on seen message wise and had not had my things back. A month later I had a bag of my things dropped on my door step and on that same day I went to meet up with some friends and I drove past her as she was sat in her car on the end of my street, I made it look like I had not noticed her of course and went about my day.

I was eating and drinking a lot, especially drinking, I was taking a lot of tabs even with alcohol, I was a mess. It was a lot of emotions and to try and deal with, and I had to hear my inner voice and intrusive thoughts just speak so little of me and tell me I'm the bad guy. I was evil. I was to blame for all the rot and for the disintegration of my relationship of 4 years. She blocked me and during this time and processing of things you know, I'd look up her profile and check to see what she was doing and who she was seeing, and I had sneaky suspicion as to who it was, and I have seen and confirmed it, and it made me angry, I did nothing about it other than blocking the guy. I have seen people who I thought I was friends with and liked me turn on me and support them on their relationship and I seen people I thought of as friends posting "congrats, you never looked so happy", "I'm so happy for you", "you deserve each other." The same people that said the same thing to me when I was with my ex. Instead of hanging out with me and meeting up when we had free time in our schedules they would be supporting them. My enemies. That pissed me off, and it made me weed out the poison in my head's garden, and so I removed those people and added them to my hate filled anger that scathed and burnt away at me and coursed through my veins.

I went unemployed for several months. I landed a new job in a beautiful care home, but I could not stick it out because I was not well and in the right headspace for it, so I left it after a month.

There were some things I also felt I had to come to terms with and bury. I have had a lot of resent and regrets of course and I can't do anything about it. I buried my connection to being a father. Me and the ex had 2 miscarriages. So those feelings, the mindset of being a dad and the mentality I carried along with the memories I have put away, I have buried them in a box in order to cope and to move on with my life. I was a dad. I was a lot of things with my ex and through it all, I ensured I was a good man and a good father. Maybe in future relationships a lot of who I am will not come back up on display for my next partner because of the hurt and suffering I have endured during the 4-year relationship I had previously. I do still want to be an actual father to a physical child though. I've had times where I have not and right now I feel like it is something I want because I have kinda always wanted it, it's like a dream. People tend to dream about these fancy moments or dream jobs and I have always dreamt of having my own wife and kids, and so I want that to happen. I want a good woman. I want a son and a daughter. Furthermore, I am human, and these things make me human.

So to continue back to the events of last year, I dug deep into my savings almost spending every thing I had to just survive until I had a new full time job. I went 4 months without a job. My anger was still there, frustration mixed with it over being unsuccessful with employment and opportunities. My sadness was also there.

I found a new job, one I'm still with to this day and although my first month there was tough and gruelling I did enjoy it as opposed to former employers. Funny thing is, it's opposite my old employers haha and yes I did see my ex 2 times in all the time since then to now. Anyway, my first month on my new job, I injured my back lifting heavy objects, so I had some time off and came back and been OK since.

I have seen Rammstein in Cardiff and it was an insane gig! Also attended WWEs Cardiff Ppv clash at the castle.

You know something silly, I have been anxious a lot about going to the local cinema as myself and the ex worked there. I was anxious because I didn't want to run into her or her now partner, because I feared on what I would do or say out of my emotions. I feared lashing out. Happily enough, I am strong-willed and minded because I kept my cool and did not show I cared when I saw certain people and I ignored some very existence. If you don't have the time of day for me, I don't have it for you either. You are with me or against me.

Since January 2023 I've been getting into a better lifestyle and up to now I have lost 3 and a half stone. It's hard work, but it's worthwhile, same as my job.

It's currently now April 13 2023, I am in a much better mental headspace than I have been in years right now. I don't drink much and last time I drank heavily was New Year's Eve 2022. I'm not financially secure, but I work hard as hell and I get a lot of love and praise for it. From my colleagues, to my bosses to even customers, and I'm proud and happy of it and all the love and appreciation I get for all I do. Of course, I wish I had more hours and money that's my goal to work my way back up in the bank. I also want to lose 5 stone, and I'm over half way there. In spare time I'm looking for work, gaming, writing, socialising with friends, making videos, blogging, watching films, attending shows and gigs, listening to music and working out in the gym. I've had my TikTok and YouTube blow up in views.

So, to summarise life is something else, I have been down many times, but I prevail, and I get back up. I don't think I'd ever gotten back up from last year if it wasn't for my special band of friends and family. Layla, Annika, James, Jared, Chlo, Kayl, Lewy G thank you all for doing your part and then some, I love and appreciate you all. Thank you for saving this man, and thank you for cheering me on when I was struggling to continue on. The world needs more people like you all, and I hope you are reading this. Know that if you have helped me that I thank you and I love you. I always will be in your debt and I always will be there for you all, no matter what.

Thank you to my work family and work friends they have also been so lovely, supportive and welcoming to me. Chlo, Bret, Tom, Brandon, Tracy, Sophie, Eva please know I love you all and I am grateful for you all. I don't even know if you will read this but thank you. 

Now saved the best for last, my dear reader. I want to thank you for following my story and this post and my blog in general. Thank you for any and all the support given to me. Please follow and support me on my social media's and chat with me anytime you wish.

I appreciate you!

Thank you!

The Mitchells Vs. The Machines - Film review! - Robotically Pleasing!

Oh my god so, ok this film is so pleasing, charming, warming, energetic, eye catching, entertaining, fun and funny and so self aware. The animation style, actors, music and well I just had such a blast watching this film, it's absolutely brilliant and I already can't wait to see it again and I wish I could watch this on the big screen where it would get the proper treatment it deserves as it's such a big production animated film!

The Plot: A quirky, dysfunctional family's road trip is upended when they find themselves in the middle of the robot apocalypse and suddenly become humanity's unlikeliest last hope.

Funfact: This film was originally named Connected.

Sony's animation studios has done their magic again with the design and animation style very similar to Spiderverse and this film is as good as that!

I really enjoyed it!

Do Not Doubt Your Abilities!

My friends do not doubt yourself and your abilities! 

Honestly if you can draw, play guitar, code games, play any instrument, or write songs or poems, or play games professionally or play sport professionally etc. These are talents!

Basically if you have a talent do not put yourself down and be like "i'm not talented, i wish i was better at it" no no no that is all wrong! 

You can play guitar you know how much of a talent and skill that is? 

You can play games and get paid for it and you can make your own games and so do you know how talented you are for that!?

You can draw so much amazing things, you are talented! 

Do not doubt yourself!

Sleepless Nights & Tired Eyes (original poem) by Scott Jones

Sleepless nights and tired eyes,

Screams of hunger in the middle of the night,

Cries of changing, keep me ever so on guard,

I try to silence them for you to get your rest,

We created a beautiful being,

You pushed and kept giving but they were no longer comfy in their cell,

They impatiently made us wait 9 months to arrive into our lives,

And how thankful and happy we are now,

As we hold hands bearing witness to our blessing of life,

To see the product of half of my life and half of yours in a single being,

The tale of equivalent exchange we heard a long time ago,

The best stories always stick with us,

I am so happy to have been blessed with such amazing people,

Those who stuck by my side through the thick and thin,

To my wife who has helped bandage up my mortal wounds,

To my child who has the light of hope inside them to carry on,

For my family who raised me with kindness and respect and love,

To my friends who have been there when i had none of that which i have now,

I thank you all for following me, it's a tough old life,

I hope we can all sit around a table when we are old and grey and look back,

Hopefully we can all smile and say we made it,

Dearest darling wife and i will be happily sat in our homes at 90 smiling,

Surrounded by our children and their children,

Oh such happy times and many rainbows all to come,

We have endured such storms and we'll all endure many more,

We will all survive and live happily ever after.....

R.I.P. Nana Jones

I love you lots Nana❤❤❤❤❤❤ You meant the world to me, we had such a laugh from all the times you baby sat me as a kid, to our adventures out and about and down Porthcawl on holiday. Your "yisee mawrs" and "jesus thomas" always made me laugh and I will miss them greatly. Such a great, wonderful, funny, cheeky woman I've had such an honour to have known and it's been an honour to be your grandson. I'll continue to make you proud and make everyone laugh on your behalf. Thanks for the memories and laughs, I love you so much and I'll miss you....always. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's a crazy world and we're in such a crazy time and year at the moment and I'm saddened and lost for words on losing you but I can sleep easy knowing your not in pain or suffering anymore and that you'll have a hell of a party up there with Datsy and Kenny and Scooby! ❤❤❤❤❤

In loving memory of my amazing, wonderful Nana. I've donated and I'm raising awareness for Dementia.👍😊 My mother and sister did a lot for my nan in her last years and took such great care of her and they are such wonderful women and superheroes for all they did and continue to do so thank you both.😊❤❤❤ The nurses who also came to take care of my nan I can't thank enough either. They allowed my mother and sister to have a break from their constant care of my nan and we can't thank them enough for what they did to. From getting my nan up and putting her to bed to doing her some lovely cuppa's and giving her, her fave foods and fave biscuits, the rich tea kind of course.😄 

I miss my Nana a lot and I know it's hard times and this just all feels like a bad dream but I know and find comfort in that she left this world in peace and she is not suffering and in pain anymore. She's reunited with my Datsy and Uncle Kenny now so that's why we are blessed with such gorgeous weather as the heaven's are smiling and she's letting us know that she's safe, she loves us all and she's at peace. 

I love you so much my Nana. Enjoy time with Datsy and enjoying John Wayne movies.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 

Don't Take Neeson's Family (A comedic folk song - Original lyrics)

It summer 63, Me and my family went to Spain, there was a high jacking and my family got taken on the plane, I was 6 years old with no training just a normal little boy, when suddenly a mask came down and I suffocated the highjacker away,

Don't mess with me,

I am Liam Neeson,

Please stop and think about who your dealing with,

I'll kick your ass and push you through glass,

Don't Take Neeson's Family,

In 85, I had my first child, which my darling wife agreed to spend her life with me, urine came spilling, no that's her water dripping, my phone called the doctor and he came as fast as he could, he was 8 foot and he looked a bit shady, he delivered my baby and started to run away,

That's when I said,

Don't fuck with me,

I am Liam Neeson,

That's my child, in your arms,

Hand her over now,

Or I'll kick your ass and stab you with glass,

Don't take Neeson's Family,

Summer 97 my daughter went away, to Spain her first trip, she couldn't wait to skinny dip, there she went on her trip for a month. I was in the bath and my phone rang, I answered who's this and they said "we have your daughter" and I said

I don't know who you are,

Or what you want,

But release my daughter at once or I'll kick your lilly ass,

My skills are very particular, I'll find you and make you perpendicular,

I am Liam Neeson and I'll kick your ass, sending you crying to mama and kill you with a blast,

Don't take Neeson's Family,

In 2001 I went away alone, on a business trip all was nice and then on my way home, I got into a taxi, but this Arab starting yelling and I said bitch please

I am Liam Neeson,

You can't take me,

I'll slit your throat and take your goat,

Don't take my family,

At my house in Denver it's 2011 and I've been resting and all's well since my family left me, they were too scared of being taken, and having me kill, for their safety I guarantee no one will be taking me,

I am Liam Neeson

Don't fuck with me,

I'll kick your ass and put you through glass,

Just don't take my fam a leeeee

Inspired by Liam Neeson, I was sitting in a foyer in a cinema waiting for my mate and I was thinking about Liam the taken series and his newest film at the time the commuter its nothing much really had a tune in my head of a folky song and just went with it. 

If you wish to make an instrumental or if you wish to do that and sing your version of the song, please tag me and share the video with me and credit me please. 

The WHY@ Family WWE RANT

The story of the Wyatt (non related) family never changes. Cut promo,play mind games,group beatdown,lose feud,move along. Yet tonight at battleground ppv they won and I thought it was for the titles yet it wasn't? What even?! 

I don't see a point in them and that does my head in. Gonna make a Wyatt family Austin style shirt range soon. Arrive,cut promo,lose. WYATT 3:16 SAYS WE JUST LOST YO ASS. Husky Harris I bet had more wins than Bray. 

Heck I'll combine Sin Cara,Tyler Breeze,Fandango,Zack Ryder and Zach Gowen to beat the Wyatts wins. I'm sure the Wyatts are only there to put others over because I don't see anything with them. I don't remember them owning titles and only thing to remember of them is a time Bray did a good promo. Harper and Rowen and Braun are just there while Bray is on his own spouting his gospel of a sister that is nowhere to be seen. Now hold on let me talk to ya as I'll quote ELI DRAKE for ya. Ahem Wyatts DUMMY YEAH!

The story of the Wyatt non related Family runs like this. Bunch of swamp living anti social people got together had a rassle and the  got hired by Wwe to be weird for loadsa money and to lose almost every match and to do the same thing all the time. Promo,beat down,mind games,rassle,lose,leave repeat.

What's the point?!

There's guys like Cesaro then punished and overlooked for stumbling words or for saying he wanted to be somewhere else or he wanted to be in this match or that he shoots and says what he really thinks. How does that deserve punishment?! Why is he overlooked? Why hire him to mistreat him?

Wyatts have been given everything for cutting a few promos and being creepy. Yet a guy who talks 5 languages and can out wrestle half the roster gets the shit treatment?

Very nice.

Many reasons why I dislike the Wwe. These are two.

I might do more. Do you want to see more?

I'm a rantasaurous Rex. Mother fuckah!
