You can't always get what you want?

Sometimes in life things just "aren't meant to be" sure you aim a bit too high, bit too far. But you realise these were rather stupid aspirations "I want a be a dog when I grow up" was my favourite, slightly out of my reach sadly It seem's a much easier life.

Sometimes you are scared to reach out to even attempt these dreams or ambitions in case you fail, a sort of "I wont get there...lets just leave it at that and not waste anyone's time" I understand exactly how you feel/felt because thats exactly how I feel. I have wanted to do so many things in my life, I've been lucky enough to actually have a shot at some and one I still regret to this day.

Take the one dream that you think is in your reach, what do you have to do to achieve it? Move? get a job to help fund it? travel far to get there? well I say, Do what ever you can do. The joy you will have from the sense of achievement alone should be a major incentive. Imagine waking up in the morning and wanting to go to work, loving your job.

Now I myself as a lover of comedy would not exactly kill but heavily disfigure for a shot at it. TV or film, acting, writing or performing. These are the things that I believe I would love to do, whether or not I could do these is another matter, for the audience to judge, or at this stage those around me.

Writing, or simply getting my thoughts out is one of the only things that keep's me sane. I cannot simply keep my mouth shut, I've tried gaffa tape and super glue to no avail. My mind must have its say, or rather my mouth must say what my mind cannot. Sometimes it is better for me to just keep quiet or at least stop at a certain point. Is this the point to end it now? no, or perhaps yes, I do keep going until the point has left your mind as to what I was referring to in the first place.

I do hope you enjoyed reading this, hopefully it helps you think or at least takes up some of your time when you are bored. I await comments or feedback or anything your want to contribute. @MackemAB on twitter.

FIFA - Money talks?

The envelope was handed to the pointless man on stage, after he rabbited on about some nonsense, he slowly opened the envelope to reveal... "Russia"...To say there was a stunned silence is an understatement, there were the cries of victory and celebration from the Russian side. But around you could hear nothing. This was a shock, a bid that seemed to have been given up on, Vladimir Putin did not attend the ceremony after saying, Citing “unscrupulous competition", this was seen as Russia giving up.

England on the other hand, we sent the big guns, Beckham, Cameron and Prince William...Oh and don't forget Ed, Ed was the part of the bid which I thought brought it back to what the World Cup would do for England. The bid video was aimed at English football around the world, showing many different people in English football shirts, Manchester united, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool were the main names present. I want to know how much input there was from the Premier League or if the bid was just the FA.

But anyway 2018 to Russia...Vodka for all.
The 2022 envelope comes on stage, the candidates: Australia, Japan, Qatar, South Korea, and the United States. Personally, Japan/South Korea was in 2002, I find it hard to understand them bidding for 2022. Was a long shot if I've ever seen one....Speaking of Long shots, Qatar.

1.6 Millions people, it has five of the 12 stadiums already built, but those five stadiums all planned to be expanded. The current capacity of the five venues is 140,000, the total capacity of the 12 stadiums will be approximately 600,000. Alcohol is tolerated to a degree in Qatar, in high end hotels and clubs, not for your average civilian. Alcohol will be allowed in special fan parks, and undoubtedly it will only a certain beer at a high price.

When the World Cup is over, what is going to become of these stadiums? these stadiums that are going to have air conditioning. I'll let you make your own minds up for that.

The envelope is opened revealing the small Middle Eastern nation, the stunned silence from the 2018 result has if anything increased. Now I'm not one who is going to through allegations out there, I'm far too unknown to get any attention, I'll let the media do that! (follow the link below)

I look forward to seeing what is done in the future about this, time to show FIFA we dont need them? England, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Germany, Argentina and France could surely breakaway and create their own federation?

I await your decision and opinion's, comments always welcome!
