I AM JOSH OKIES

The following is an explanation of my beliefs on the afterlife. It is not complete, there are a few flaws I should iron out and I’m sure I will add to it as I get older.

The mind, the conscience, our “soul” if you will, is so complex that it could never simply shut off. There must be some sort of afterlife. My belief is that when our body dies in this universe, we are reborn, however we want to be.
There is an infinite number of parallel universes, which means that everything, every idea, every story exists somewhere. After we die here, our mind takes itself to another.
When reborn, we can choose to keep our memories, or discard them, to start afresh or start with the memories of our past.
Likewise, we can choose to have versions of our friends or to meet entirely new people. And whether or not our friends will have their memories in our parallels.

Between lives, it is possible to awaken in a perfect version of this universe. By perfect I mean, nothing bad happens. It is a sort of resting area between lives. Here, we can meet up with anyone who has grown close to us and exchange stories or just enjoy company. The person we are here never ages and is just a physical representation of a 25-ish year old us.

In this life, those who are bad, truly evil people. Carry the guilt in their minds, even if they don’t think they are doing wrong. That guilt manifests itself as a sort of hellish universe after death. No-one can escape from here until they truly feel remorse for what they have done.

This cycle of death and rebirth continues, forever.

Basic ideas;
1) We are reborn into any situation we want after we die.
2) Every story, every idea, anything we can think of exists as a parallel universe.
3) Evil people are reborn in a hell like state, because of the extreme guilt in their minds. It can only be escaped by true remorse.

I truely have the best friends in the world. No competition. Don’t even try and argue.

Almost everyday, I’ve had a text from one of them in the morning inviting us all to go out and just chill. Just chillin’ is good, for the last 3 months of our life we are truely free. No school work to worry about, no real work to worry about.

Last week, we decided we’d go camping, and next week we are. It’s amazing how everyting has just fallen together.

I know I say this all the time but I WANT TO UPDATE THIS MORE OFTEN.
love youz x

Yesterday I went to see Terminator Salvation. Very good but too short.

I then got my ear pierced for teh lulz.

Then I went to my friend Frankie’s BBQ.

Whilst at the BBQ many things happened. We ate meat. We ate bacon steak. Bacon frickin’ steak! We played a lot of GH:WT and we watched some Pimp My Ride.

BUT, most importantly, we decided it was time for a revival of the word ‘rad.’ Short for ‘radical.’  A popular 90’s slang term that should be used thusly;

Frankie: Josh… This bacon steak is beautiful
Josh: I know, it’s so rad”

So my minions, I have entrusted you with the task of using this outdated word as much as you possibly can (In context of course).

love Josh. x

This week, tuesday – thursday means non-stop exams. WHY. 6 exams in 3 days. 2 per day.

Here is a description of all my exams this week;

In the English exam I took highlighters, ready to be all highlighty. I only highlighted the word ‘booby.’ Cause it was funny.

Then I did geography, I fail at geography. There was a map.

Tommorow I am writing about Hitler. Hitler is a man who brutally murdered millions of Jews. On the plus side, the second half of the exam is on Medicine throughout time.

Then I’m being aurally aroused by some sexy french accents.

Thursday = chemistry. Chemistry is a subject I believe I have never been properly taught. My plan for this is to confuse the examiner with myriad large words and hope that they’re baffled into submission.

Thursday Afternoon = English Paper 2. Which means POEMS AND DESCRIPTIONS. Yay, I get to write about the room I’ll be sat in and try and make it sound vaguely interesting.

Today I went to see Spring Awakening.

Only I didn’t because I thought it was at half 5 and I was wrong, so I slept through it.

Fuck sake.

So instead, my mother agreed to buy me a lot of clothes from the internet because it is now summer (though it’s raining at the moment) and I don’t have any summer clothes so I have to be too warm.

Oh, and I haven’t done anything this half term. Oh, and I have a fuck load of exams next week. Seriously I have 6 two hour exams next week. SIX. Then the week after I have quite a few as well, but then I have a 3 month summer so it’s not all bad.

And so help me if I’m indoors for more than 10% of the summer. I will consider it a failure.

I went to pay my £20 for a prom ticket today when my head of year greeted me at the door saying ‘oh don’t worry Josh, you have a free prom ticket.’

Now, I’m aware that they were giving the so-called ‘good’ students a free ticket, because of good behavior, turning up to revision sessions, not getting in trouble etcetera.

I’ve done none of these things, whilst I’m not a stabby drug dealer, I’m the worst behaved of the smart students. I was rejected as a prefect because of my behavior. So, amongst my circle of friends, I am the only non-prefect. (However, this means that students lower down the school identify me as a maverick and therefore do what I tell them more than Prefects.)

The real reason the school has gifted me with a ticket to the prom?

I watch films a lot. For reals. I take film studies as an extra option which means I have to stay at school an extra 2 hours every Wednesday. During these 2 hours, we watch films.

I genuinely got a prom ticket for watching a lot of films.

Oh well, I’m not complaining.

The Prom in Britain, in my mind seems nowhere near as romanticized as the US seems to make it. Over here, the Prom is pretty much just a meeting place to go and get hammered at the after-party.

Apologies to those who thought the title said Free Porn.

This quote is all you need to know about my narcississm.

Yesterday was the best day of my life so far, a joint first with the last night of the musical however.

It was my official last day of school, ever. Sure, I’m going to college. But yesterday was my last day of compulsory education.

I was a Ninja.

Everyone in our year went to the park together, a seemingly simple task, but everyone loved it and each other. After 5 years, everyone just, got on with each other amazingly.

No-one was emotional though, but we still have a month of revision classes to go to, not compulsory but, stupid to miss. Then our prom, which will hopefully equal yesterday in it’s amazingness.

Apparantly I can no longer be bothered with youtube. It just doesn’t interest me anymore.

I’m not going to be melodramatic and say ‘ooh look at me I’m quitting youtube’

I just want you to know I will rarely make videos anymore. I have an IRL social life to attend to which I seem to have neglected for the past year and a half.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m so glad I have my youtube friends and I’ll still be at any gatherings I hear about.

Just youtube isn’t my priority anymore.

Although I am going to attempt to update this blog a lot more often, it’s meant to be a diary and thats what I should do with it.
