This month's blog is in the form of the above video. Just a quick word of explanation, Cafe Sundae is a monthly event where the videos I make to accompany my blogs are shown: so when I refer to putting your hand up and looking around you in this blog I'm talking directly to those attending the event.

I'm the first person to comment this month!!!
"Make the most of your youth" seemed to resonate with a lot of people there...
One question, could you post a link to the type of headphones that don't damage your ears?
All headphones damage your ears, but it's the in-the-ear type (like those sold with i-pods) which are by far the worse.
Hello again, being a youthful teenager i am forever regarded as a stupid, ignorant boy with little respect for others *ahem...Jean Moore's view. I find as much as people may segregate the elderly as frail chatterboxes, there is certainly a discrimination against teenagers - just because some teenagers have nothing better to do than to 'hang around' the village on a friday night dressed as hooligans, doesn't me all do!
I'd like to make the point that i am proud of the fact i am immune to the 'Mosquito' being partially deaf , and i also take care when listening to music...unlike certain individuals.
Here's something Rob found!
Summary of Life
GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
2) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.
GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge..mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fibre, not the toy.
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD
1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.
THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.
SUCCESS:
At age 4 success is . .. . not piddling in your pants.
At age 12 success is .. . . having friends.
At age 17 success is .. having a drivers license.
At age 35 success is .. . having money.
At age 50 success is .. . having money.
At age 70 success is .. .. ... having a drivers license.
At age 75 success is .. . having friends.
At age 80 success is .. . not piddling in your pants.
Well seeing as I've hopefully got the right blog this month i might as well make the most of it...
To be honest I think the age of the teens is stereotyped by most old people maybe partially due to the invention of... the chav.
Equally Old people have been stereotyped by the younger generation due to the invention of... bingo.
Now Im well aware of both these stereotypes and how they are both viewed by the respective generations... Lets face it they're half right about the chavs...
Also talking about chris' idea of the village hooligans hanging around drinking vodka with increasingly higher miniskirts and screeching at the top of their voices we find them annoying.
Trust me the girls 'aint much better.
I don't want to sound high and mighty about this but I don't see the attraction of going and getting drunk every friday and saturday. Simply because I'd actually like to keep my liver even if it may fail me in old age but it does raise a point about how stereotypes may appear. The teenagers get drunk... Harass old people... and then get stereotyped. I wonder what would happen if the old people got drunk and harassed the chavs that hung around in the park. Would be interesting...
I think that something that is very much lost nowadays is the opportunity to actually live for now. Since I was 14 all I can remember hearing is that I need to make sure you work hard and that I should be focussing all my efforts on studying so I can get into a good uni and get a good future. What 15 year old actually cares about how much they will be earning when they are 40? But to be perfectly honest, I still don’t think, at 18, that I want to worry about my future now. I’m now looking down what seems to be the few steps until I go to university, but I still think that I have never really had the chance to actually be a teenager. I really think that there are too many pressures on people nowadays are too great. I want to take a year out and go travelling, but I know that if I do, I will be one year behind everyone else when I graduate university and therefore, less likely to get a decent job. Let’s not be naive here, everybody knows that turning 16 is a big deal to teenagers for various reasons and turning 18 is an even bigger deal for even more reasons. But who can say that they honestly had the chance to enjoy those perks of so called maturity, without school or college or exams getting in the way or school or exams etc suffering because the pub ranked a higher priority than revision. I think the pressure placed on teenagers is a lot, and I don’t think we will truly see the affect of this pressure until later on in life, personally, I think it leaves a hole in the growing up process. Apparently I’m one of those with my head screwed on, one of the ones who wants to succeed, actually I’m just one of those that thinks one of the main perks of going to a so called "high ranking" uni is "high ranking" bars.
Very impressed with that video. You should be a Children's TV presenter!!
All I can say is you must have very good speakers at your Church for all the frequencies to come through. I can normally hear 17kHz but only heard up to 15 on my rubbish computer speakers.
As an atheist I fins this blog incredibly interesting and I think I will continue to read it! (Until I get bored, anyway.) :)
