Not a lot of Yessing today, so it could very well have gone to pot...
But anyway, one that should have been yesterday but it was my birthday! Today/Yesterday goes to LIZZY FORD.
However you know her - Beth, Lizzy, Elizabeth - shes probably had more emotions in one minute than you;ve had breaths. Lizzy can go from being the most, defensive and obnoxious person you know, to the most caring, and the best listener you ever speak to. Its brilliant!
So Lizzy is a very close friend to both myself and Isobel, and its all good, providing you catch her in the right moment! But it doesn't matter who you ask, everyone will say the same. The person you can have a laugh with, cry your eyes out to or have World War III, its all good!
LIZZY FORD, you are the Day Dedicatee for Thursday 21st January 2010.

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday @Adam9309
Happy Birthday to you!
It's my TWITTER birthday today, so to celebrate, the blog is for that!
One year eh?! I remember Tweeting about Obama's inauguration, which happened to be my first day. 365 of them later, and we've had over 3,000 Tweets, and got over 225 followers. Its been brilliant - somewhere I can turn to if I need it.
A few Yeses today but it began to fail today. Hopefully it will pick up tomorrow.

Monday 18th January 2010 - Yes Man - Breakfast
So, my first day as a Yes Man is over, with 27 significant Yeses that would normally be a no. The big one though was one that I think kept me going through the day - BREAKFAST.
I never have breakfast - I don't find things I like so I eat them every morning. I get bored very easily of food - and breakfast is key. Pancakes and maple syrup - yum. But if I had them every single day for 2 weeks, I'd hate them for life.
So this morning, a bitta Nutella on toast, and I was set for the day. A load more Yessing led to some new ideas being created, and it is all veyr exciting. I can tell you more tomorrow.
But Yes, Day One as a Yes Man is over!

Sunday 17th January 2010 - Yes.
Today I can unveil to you all my new project. I've been very excited about this the last few weeks, and its great to actually be able to get it into the open. The word you are viewing is YES, and tonight, at midnight, I will commence becoming a Yes Man for the next 7 days.
I saw the film, 'Yes Man', for the first time a few days back, after deciding that this is what I was going to do. I've read the book countless times, and have actually attempted to be a Yes Man before, but this time, I'm being more strict. Rather than having loads of different rules and ways out, I have one.
If it affects me for longer than this week alone, it can be a no.
Simple as that. Its going to be exciting, and very enduring, but it should be worth it! So over the next 7 days, you will be seeing something slightly different appearing in my blog - as not only will it be Dedicated to someone, it will also be a story of my Yesness. What I've said Yes to, what I've now done, and how it is all panning out.
I've made this public for a reason - I want to actually stick to it. I know it will be massively exploited, mainly for the reason that I'm at a Boys School - of which the typical jokes will now appear. But I'm going to try this. And stick to it.
A notebook will be with me to try and record my Yes-ing. And hopefully, it will make me into a better person!
YES, you are teh Day Dedicatee for Sunday 17th January 2010. And my Yes Story begins....

Saturday 16th January 2010 - Ikea
NOTE: This was actually written eysterday. I decided not to put it up, as the people who read my blog check each day, meaning they were faced with my Haiti blog again. It worked, as nearly 100 of you very kind people clicked on the links yesterday. So thankyou very much!
I may have fallen in love all over again. With a Swede, who is very tall, has long legs and a flat body. My new Lack table sitting in my room, all the way from IKEA.
Us Brits call it I-KEAA, whereas it shoudl really be IK-E-A, but anyway, tomato tomarto. The shop is still the same, and people across the globe love the place. Its a wonderful shop filled with as many types of wood, plastic and cardboards you can think of, all neatly fitting together to create soemthing that stands out. We spent over £300 there today, and coming home, and having a whole new room built in under half an hour was a brilliant feeling.
IKEA, I salute you. You are the Day Dedicatee for Saturday 16th January 2010.

Friday 15th January 2010 - Haiti Earthquake Appeal
Today I've been off ill. This morning, I thought I had it bad when I was at home with a bit of man flu. Then I saw the news.
The 50,000 deaths that are rising daily, and some believe could hit 100,000 by next week. The thousands of injuries caused by the rubble. The hundreds of thousands of lives that have been destroyed by the mass devestation to the country. And the millions of people who are witnessing what Haiti, a tiny country in the Carribbean, struggle to cope to the current Apocolyptic conditions they are having to live through.
What can we do? We can join the HAITI EARTHQUAKE APPEAL. With the whole world's eyes watching, there are billions of people who could donate their pocket change to the cause. Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the world, and with bodies littering the streets, disease will hit the nation hard, unless we as a world act fast.
Look at the picture attached to this post. It may seem like a grieving mother, but look deeper. This picture just summarises the situation. The rubble across the streets; the large slabs of concrete coating what could uncover an even worse scenario. And resting on the top are two bodies, just lying in the baking sun. People walking past looking at them, without a care in the world. The reason being, this is the scene on every street corner. This is what encounters every single Haitian on every single street.
We need to unite. We need to come together, and support the people in need. We need to join with our enemies, and become a united front, in order to eradicate this scene of horror. Please please please donate in some form - a penny is still a penny. If you live in the UK, you can do it via the DEC (http://www.dec.org.uk/), or through places such as Oxfam (http://www.oxfam.org.uk)
And if this hasn't convinced you yet, just look at these pictures. If you have a decent bone in your body, you will understand where this grief is from, and you'll help these poor people out.
I beg you, if you do one good deed in the whole of this year, make sure it is donate to the Haiti appeal. They need us more than ever.
