The World is filling with heavier people, but clothing companies ignore that fact!

As you know (or probably imagine) by the title of my blog and username in various places, I can a "heavy bloke". I stand tall at 6' 1" in my stockinged feet (but that's odd, I have never EVER worn stockings!) and I weigh in at a chair crushing 22st 4lb. This is not the heaviest I have weighed (I used to be 28st) but I have always had a battle with my weight.

I love wearing hoodies, t-shirts and stuff like that and but it is almost impossible to get hoodies in my size. I contacted Vans (one of my favorite clothing brands EVER) and asked what size they go up, and 3XL is a no go, in fact almost nowhere does hoodies in my size. If Vans and other places like that did hoodies in my size, I would start up a hoodie collection (to go with my beanies).

I can get away with 2XL hoodies too but then it is a case of there is no such thing as a universal size and that a 2XL from WWE Shop in the US is huge (My Undertaker hoodie is a good example there) yet I go into Fat Face in Newbury yesterday and try to put on a lovely orange zip up hoodie and I couldn't get it round me....yet I can go to Freespirit in Basingstoke and get a lovely Cream/Brown hoodie in 2XL and it fits nice!

What bugs me is this....why is it that big brands don't make larger clothing if the World is getting populated with ever larger people, and why oh why oh why is it that if I get 2XL (or 3XL when miracles happen) items from more than one brand one will be bigger than the other?

Dammit clothes companies, get your damn act together and this this stupidity out already.

What The Hell Is It With Old People?!?

I was always brought up to respect my elders, for they are older wiser, and that I can learn a lot from them.

I beginning to wonder if this was the right thing to teach me.

Don't get me wrong, I hope that I am courteous to everyone around me, open a door for people, help moms with their buggies ion and off buses, grabbing things from high shelves for people who cannot reach (and no I don't mean grabbing porn for kids!) because that was the way my mom brought me up, to have respect for others.

So why can't the elderly have some manners as well?

All day today I seemed to have bumped into the rudest and most obnoxious elderly people you could ever meet. I was sitting on the bus going to the cinema and this elderly lady pretty much crushed me into the corner of the seat (Im a big guy width wise, but damn she was big!!!) when she could have asked me to move (even though I am disabled and entitled to sit where I did). She then went on a rant at me saying it was my fault she couldn't sit comfortable!

After that I was looking in HMV at the DVDs and BRDs when this lass whacked me with her trolley, and then looked at me as if it was my fault and I had broken wind on her or something!! I would have understood if I was in the middle of the aisle but I wasn't and there was plenty of room to get past me!

Then to top it all off, as I was getting the bus home, I was waiting in an orderly queue for the bus when this old couple just barged to the front of the line!!

What the Hell is it with old people?Do they think because they have survived a war it gives them the right to be obnoxious morons? Damn!!!

Dennis the....Softie?!?

OK, I learnt something today that I think is very VERY silly and wrong.

The BBC have BANNED cartoon character Dennis the Menace from using his catapult, water pistol and pea shooter...he has been banned from picking on Walter Softie, Dad cannot use his slipper on Dennis and even Gnasher has to behave!

Dammit, what the Hell is going on these days?

I'm aware that that bullying is wrong (I do not agree with it, being bullied by many people over the years) but this is just bloody damn ridiculous! This is yet again another case of Political Correctness going over the top yet again.

Dennis the Menace is pretty much a British institution, all my mates used to collect them (as did I along with Dandy comics too) and Dennis using his arsenal and playing pranks was just a bit of harmless fun. Sure he was a naughty boy, but he got reprimanded by his father (damn he must have needed a slipper factory the amount of time he used them on Dennis!).

So...now that is to be changed, and it's wrong. It was a bit of harmless fun, reading these comics never made me a bully or want to incite violence on anyone.

So what's next...a total ban on Tom & Jerry?

Sharp in many ways...

I tend to have the strangest things happen to me...

I was sucking on one of the super sour boiled sweets I'd bought for Haunted Rock Cake yesterday when I had gone to Southsea and thought it was very nice too, when my tongue suddenly felt like it was burning and then my tongues started bleeding! Somehow the damn sweet had cut my tongue!

Here is a picture of what it did (don't look at this if you do not like tongues obviously!!)

I really cannot believe this happened to me, I had something similar happen several years ago when I sucked on a sugar free lollipop!

Perhaps I should avoid hard candy in future, looks like it is REALLY bad for you =:cO

If only today could have lasted forever...

Today has been one of the best days of my life...

Me and Cuddle Bunny hopped on a train (not literally of course, how stupid would that be...and imagine the injures we could have got? Damn...) and went off to Southsea and had some fun in the arcades for the day.

We did this last month on my birthday and it was an absolute blast!

We played on the 2p machines and we didn't really do as well as last month, but got almost 20 keyrings....and I did have a go at the grabber machines to no avail, although Cuddle Bunny got 2 prizes...damn, should have got her to do mine, could have wond a plush Sonic The Hedge or Fizzy Duck!

I also had a play on Guitar Hero III Arcade and it was great fun to play! I played a few tracks and topped the highscore on Easy for Rock And Roll All Nite by KISS (Whooo! KISS ROCK!!!). Yeah ok, I know it was only on Easy which does make me pretty lame, but I got to top of scoreboard so I don't care!

I was a great day, and after a few hours we headed into town and I grabbed a copy of the movie Midnight Meat Train (if you like Clive Barker stuff...you MUST get this movie!) and then we made our way home.

It was a lovely day (aside from the weather a little too hot for me personally, but Cuddle Bunny likes it) and cannot wait to do that again!

Well, that was different!

I just had something happen that made me smile...

I have asked a few people on Twitter if I could have their autograph (nothing ventured, nothing gained) and one of the comedians I asked, lived up to the title of comedian...the sent me a Direct Message with just their name in it!

I replied back to them saying thanks for the digital "autograph", certainly not what I expected (most people just ignore you!) but it certainly made me smile!

A new idea for promoting stuff!

I have decided to have a look at a few more "different" things to promote the various charities I have been trying to help a little on Twitter, when I have hit upon another idea...

I have done some designs for the guitar grip for Guitar Hero On Tour for the DS. So far I have done 2 designs for charity (for Bullying UK and Dogs Trust) and there are more on the way.

If you want to have a look at them then have a look at the photo section of my Facebook Account (http://www.facebook.com/yamerias) and of course please let me know what you think!

I have a few more ideas too...watch this space!!!

An apology...

I've not been online much today, and not really text anybody either because today I woke and I am pretty certain I had a seizure the night before, and I have been feeling pretty crud all day.

I'm not apologizing about not communicating online or by though, I am apologizing to a very dear friend.

Haunted Rock Cake had a day off today, but I'm guessing she wished she hadn't pretty much because I was nothing but a grouchy little shit. she would make a comment and I'd just snap at her...it wasn't my intention for it to happen it just did...and I feel so bad about it now.

She is in bed asleep now bless her, and I did say sorry to her and she said it was ok, but no it wasn't. She didn't deserve it when she has so many other things on her mind right now.

I'm not sure if you are going to read this hon, but I'm sorry...and these words come from the very bottom of my heart.
