Welcome and....read?

Hey, my names Richard Alasdair Iain Anderson. That's the reason behind my blog name. Surprise...! I'm 15 years old, birthday is May the 19th, I live in Doha, Qatar but I'm from Manchester. I decided to make a blog for the hell of it because....My best friend told me I could.

Well. Hope you enjoy reading my blog. If you want me to talk about anything, comment on my latest post and I'll say something about it. Ciao!

Let's go again.

Right, well I feel like blogging right now because...I do? Sarah is in Denmark, Harriet's in Doha with my Dad, my Mum's off shopping and David is in the Trafford Centre with his girlfriend, Ruth. I don't have much to do right now. Well, there has been a whole day of Doctor Who and I've watched quite a lot of it. I may be getting slightly bored of season 3, because it wasn't my favourite ever but I'll survive. Not much has been done lately. I'm really bored, and have nothing to do! I want to play golf, but my Mum won't let me with my foot. She also won't let me get a gym membership for a month because I can't run properly. At this rate, I am going to be so unfit at the start of the school year, and IA will be completely screwed up. I've also put on weight for the first time in 4 years. So yeah, I really need to start going out for runs.

Got nothing else to talk about, so here we go with '50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind'.
6) If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?
This is an easy question. I first wanted to be an actor, and thought that would be good but then some harsh truth's put me off it. 98% of them are unemployed and you have to be VERY good to be successful at it. So I thought doing something basic like being an accountant would be fine for me. I don't really want to do anything massive or special that will make me famous so that newspapers and reporters never stop watching anything I do, and always tell everyone everything about me 1000 times over. But lately, I've watched the series 'Lie to Me'. It's amazing, and I have tried to learn a lot of the micro-expressions that they show in it. I've bought the books, 'Emotions Revealed' and 'Telling Lies' that were written by Dr. Paul Ekman, the man who discovered these tiny movements of the body. If I could become a Deception Expert, and help solve crimes by reading peoples emotions and micro-expressions, it would make me the happiest man on Earth. Just that kind of power, and that ability would make me the richest man on Earth. The harsh reality however, is that at most, 46/15,000 people can automatically tell if someone is lying. They are sometimes called 'Wizards'. Many scientists believe that even with full training, nobody can read these signs in time. Each sign is at best, 1/5th of a second long. Not even the Wizards can read them 100%. At most it would be, I would say 98% correct. So that's my dream job out the window.

I am back.

Sorry for not posting for a few days readers....If there are any of you! I have been busy and lazy the past few days. I had to take care of my foot because the cut on it got pretty bad, but nevermind about that. I've also seen my friends and finished cleaning my room! It's a miracle! It took me a while, and a lot of jaffa cakes to do it but it worked. I reckon it'll take about 1 week to turn into a tip again, but oh well. I've gotten rid of so much crap so it should be okay now. Can't wait until Lie to me comes out tonight! It will be such a good episode, but all of the episodes are AMAZING! Also, tomorrow I'm going to see Toy Story 3 again with Iain because he hasn't actually seen it yet. It was a good movie though so I don't mind seeing it again.

So now I'll continue with '50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind'. Next one was the fifth question I think.
5) What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
What to change most in the world? So many things could be changed that would be good. I could change some laws to suit others? But that would be stupid. You could change so many things, but none of it would matter. In my opinion, I would change the racial tension there has been between people, especially to do with religion. So many conflicts have come from people disagreeing with religious views, and I wish people would accept what others think, and keep to their own views without getting mad at others.


As the rain beats lightly against the window, you nestle your head deeper into your pillow. The sound is soothing and your bed feels like a sanctuary. There is no place you would rather be...

Alonzie!

Today I might see Toy Story 3! Some people have said it's an amazing film, but some of my friends said it creeped them out.. How does a film about toys freak you? Hmm. No one knows! Oh well, I'll judge it myself. I tend to like a lot of films that most people hate, which is strange. I also hate a lot of films my friends like, which annoys me because I can't enjoy myself properly when going out to the cinema sometimes. But anyway, the process of cleaning crap out of my room is going badly. You probably could have guessed that seeming as I'm blogging instead of cleaning. Now I don't know what to say next with this blog.

I might as well continue '50 Questions To Free Your Mind'. What's next...
4) When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Okay...This is even more confusing than the last question... First I need to understand the question. 'When it's all said and done' - That probably means when you have completed a task that has most likely been going on for a while. What's said is probably what you said you would do, and what's done is what you actually did do in the situation. So the answer I think, depends on what you are like. If you are an overachiever, and like to challenge yourself, you will probably have done more than you have said. However, if you are lazy, and like the idea of challenging yourself but are not actually up to the task, you will most likely have said more than you have done. This question was slightly strange, so if you have any ideas, please post a comment below.

-----------------
Well, I just finished watching Toy Story 3. It was so good! One of the only number 3's for movie's that actually worked though. Sorry, has to say that. I'll post again tomorrow.

Lets Continue.

Another day, another post, but still the same blog. David has gone up to see a friend for their 21st birthday, Harriet's gone to Doha for the last time in a while because of University. This means it's me, Sarah, my Mum and my Gran in the house only. Oh no. This could be an interesting weekend, but right now I'm supposed to be clearing my room for all the crap that's in there. I must admit, I never thought the place was getting that messy and cluttered over the past 15 years, but what do you know! I've seen books that came out 20 years ago, which is odd. I've seen old games, bad DVD's, random stuffed toys etc. It's funny really for all the rubbish in here. Well, it would be funny if I didn't have to sort it into piles and go through everything systematically and get it sorted, cos it's boring. Veeeeery very boring. Ah well, I ate a muffin today which made things better :D Cos muffins are amaaaazing! Now I'm just ranting about anything random, which I suppose is what most bloggers do.

I guess I'll continue with the '50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind' now. Lets go on to number 3!
3) If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
Hmm. This is a more difficult one I would say, but still. I guess many of the things we don't like to do are necessary to gain the oppurtunity to do those good things. For example, if you are working your way up a business, you might have to do many things for your boss that you would see as beneath you, but still you would do them to get higher up in the business. Also, some people might not like excercise but they would have to do it to stay skinny or buff, which many people want to be. Then they could go down to a beach and show themselves off to people, which isn't something you get to do all the time. That goes on I guess. But I think that as time goes on, people do more things they enjoy compared to years and years ago. But really that depends on what you find interesting or not. You may be an avid gamer and play things like 'Call of Duty' all the time which is fun, but if you are an avid reader, you would find books more enthralling than games. Also because of technological advances that are becoming even more rapid each year, we get to live the life of luxury more often because when better things come out, the old things reduce in price, but old can still be good.

Sorry for ranting a lot about that, it seemed to go on for quite a while, but right now I have a sudden urge to watch 'Lie to Me' instead of cleaning my room, so I'll post again tomorrow.

2nd post....It's a record! :D

Hmm. Another post? What should I write about now? How about my day, because that is what everyone else's blog's consist of. Well I've heard about www.onemanga.com closing and...It sucks! I mean, why close it down when it's the biggest sites for manga ever! Everyone I knows who reads manga goes to there, so...why? I guess I can go for another site which is easy enough. I have one that gives manga out a day earlier than everywhere else, but the amount of time it takes for each of those pages to load makes up for that day... =.= Ah well. So yeah, saw my friend Iain today. Wooh! Played games, played football and I screwed up my leg! :D What an awesome day haha.

So, let me continue with my answers to '50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind'. the next question is:
2) Which is worse, failing or never trying?
I would say obviously never trying. What's the point in never trying in something? It's just saying you don't want to succeed in life and don't want to get anywhere. As long as you try your best in the things you do, you can say you will improve. Trying leads to improvement, so you will get better and eventually succeed. Doing nothing just leads to being lazy. Example? Not doing any excercise and becoming very fat. Not good. So yeah, always try in what you do! I'm half way there but some things I become lazy about and do badly.

Uuuh...

How do you start off a blog? Um...Dunno. Do I have to talk about my problems to everyone and moan about my life for hours on end until I have nothing more to say? Naaaah, life is too short! I've seen so many depressive blogs, and in the end, they don't make me feel sympathy for those people, they make me pissed off. Why would you talk about your problems to people who either won't actually listen, won't care, won't do anything about it, and will just end up hating you? I don't know.

Anyway's, I know this AMAZING site for questions that will make you think about anything, get help with life problems and yeah. It's really good!
That's the link if you want to take a look at it. I found one page called '50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind'. It's one of my favourite areas so I decided I would give my say on the questions. I'll answer one question each blog post. So here I go:

1) How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
- I would say one idea is if you were a baby, you wouldn't know your age as you are too old. So some kind of age below 2 maybe? Or, if you are very old and have a bad memory, it could affect you so you don't remember your age. Maybe 90+ then? My final thought is what if you hit your head really hard, and had amnesia. Then you might forget everything about yourself, which would most likely include age as well.

So yeah, if you want, you should really take a look at that site. I recommend a lot of those posts. They all have a lot of meaning and relate to all parts of life.
Well, I can't think of anything else to say right now, so....I'll post something later. If you wanna comment, please use the section below.
