THE Josh Aronson

I had an article + someone coming in to help Esther learn how to cook + coursework so just winding down now , so sorry ....  My coursework pressure is off now so will hopefuly be more focused . 

Today Manchester United plays West Ham at Old Trafford. But today is also the first day of studying for my last semester at university, so I made the decision to go to Old Trafford! Only kidding, I'm at home studying on zoom. Yes my TV will be on in the background, but studying at university is advancing my career, which is way more important in the long run. Sometimes in life one must make choices which will affect your life in future and not what affects your life now. Choices are an interesting thing. If we didn't have choices, life would be boring, but having choices also means we can easily make mistakes. It's ok to make mistakes, as long as we own up to the mistakes we make. I've made some terrible mistakes and terrible choices in life, but it's ok, as I learnt from them not to make the same mistakes again. Yesterday I met and spoke to Mr. Philip Goldberg, Chairman of Kisharon in London and when he spoke to me he said, "You don't act autistic....

Today I got a call from DVLA who informed told me that after my health check, I have been given permission to continue driving. I am so relieved! I was scared that I would be denied. I rebooked my theory test for middle of November and hope by then I'll pass and then I can book my practical test and hopefully soon get my license. For me, having a license will be a dream. It shows that dreams can come true, if you push for it. We all have our dreams and aspirations but it's pushing forward that makes our dreams come true. Life is all flexible, we can meet the biggest and wealthiest person, but if you don't show up and give an elevator speech, you won't get anywhere. I want to bring an example of a friend of mine, Nuseir Yasin, otherwise known as Nas Daily. Nas went to Harverd, graduated and started working for PayPal, making big bucks. But then he was unhappy, he quit it all, started traveling and making one minute videos. He became very sucessful and well known, but he ...

I started today with some work, then someone came to the house to see if she can help Esther learn basic skills such as a safe cooking, then dealt with trolls on facebook hating me for not supporting their political party, then recieved a phone call asking me who I'm voting for and weirdly enough, the guy asking didn't know who Meretz was... which is weird. Yesterday, I brought a new vape, going into refillable liquid instead of throw away pods. I spoke today to MK Gilad Kariv to thank him, as he was the one who encouraged me to go to and study and I felt the need to tell him I was going in my last semester before completing my degree. One must always thank people and be grateful as that causes that in the future they will help again. “When you give joy to other people, you get more joy in return. You should give a good thought to happiness that you can give out.”— Eleanor Roosevelt. By being grateful and helping one another, you get joy, and helping yourself gives you joy. I o...

I'm very weak and tired. I feel as if a bus hit me at 1000 km/hr. I'm resting but still have not got enough strength. Last night I went out to my favourite place, Celia's, to celebrate our wedding anniversary. However tired and weak you may be, if you miss an anniversary, you're weaker. There was good food at Celia's. I started off with chicken soup with matza balls and Esther had duck spring rolls. Then I had salted beef with latkes and Esther had steak and chips. We finished off with a chocolate monty which is brownies and fudge on a biscuit with mousse we also ordered apple crumble. Delicious!  For an anniversary present, I took a photo from our wedding that we both love standing outside Manchester United's stadium on our wedding night and got it enlarged and framed. This week our electrician turned up to fix the hob and I asked him how his football team, Bolton, is going. Oops! He was actually an Oldham fan... I got mixed up with tiredness and also because I...

Due to my anniversary I wont be posting today will post more , tommorow 

Sorry was caught in coursework today, swamped. I'm near the end so hopefully will be able to blog more ....

Today I got up and showered and went to my driving lesson. When my teacher heard I had four courseworks due next week she said she's canceling my lesson and I should go and do them. So I did some work on coursework. Then the electricion came and put in a new hob while I was on the phone dealing with several bureacratic errends. Then I watched in horror as Liz Truss, UK's Prime Minister of just over a month and a half, resigned. This country is a joke, four prime ministers in less then six years. We need a general election now and to vote Labour in to deal with the issues that the UK have got themselves messed up in by their own stupidity. Afterwards, I went to town to pick up Esther's present to her for our Hebrew anniversary, which is on Monday. I got lucky in Mcdonald's as I told a staff member that I had an instant win for a coffee, but I felt like a cold drink and asked if i order can I swap and she said no need and gave me a complimentary cola zero. I then went to ...

It's been a day of juggling bureaucracy, coursework and errands, as it was the Jewish holidays. I have been busy with things that have been pushed off due to those holy days. I'm writing this en route to Old Trafford, where I'm going to watch a game so close to me: United vs Tottenham. Some of my closest friends are Spurs fans, and my nephew is a Spurs fan, so hopefully tonight I can cheer as United wins. Some days, like today, bureaucracy can hit you without warning. Today it was a notice that my universal credit payments have been suspended, so I had to run to the Job Centre to sort it all out. Thank God, I managed to get it sorted. I had a great conversation with my editor as I decided to base one of my coursework assignments on the Maariv newspaper. I learnt a lot of new things about the organization which I'm proud to call mine and am proud to do coursework on this organization, which is dear to me.  I also had an article commissioned and printed in The Jewish News...

 It's been a crazy few days with the Jewish holiday of Succot and plenty of coursework that I need to do, the amount of things and issues in my head is overwhelming! I went to town today for a bit of shopping and saw the Chabad succah in town so took inititive and photographed it and sent it straight to the news desk. I had a job interview today as well, so I hope things will go well and I'll get a position. My life is a bit topsy-turvey at the moment and it's you, my followers, who suffer, so I apologise! Life is like a rollercoaster and at this moment, I'm on the crazy part of it. Just a few weeks ago, it was the anniversary of the passing of my Opa, my grandfather from Amsterdam. He passed away at age 100. I was very close to him and travelled often to Amsterdam to visit him. He used to drink often and always drank two shots after another. I once asked him why two shots. He said, "I drink one shot and I feel like another person... another person is also allowed ...

So Its been a while, due to the Jewish Holidays . And we are still in the midst of those holidays,  I just am overtired, so tired I actualy collapsed in bed .... and plenty of coursework to finish so todays blog wont go up . Sorry , hopefully tommorow i"ll have strengh and write you something good .

A year ago, I wore a suit and tie, waiters catered to my every whim, I was chauffered around in a fancy car, even getting to Old Trafford! I had two photographers taking paparazzi photos and two videographers videoing my every move. A year ago, I married my wife, Esther, a decision I've been grateful for the whole year- that I have been lucky enough to find the girl that gives me so much and understands me completely. To give you some background: I'm not religious, Esther, my wife, is religious. We make compromises between us. Yes, it's hard on both of us like on Esther when I'm on my phone on Saturdays (the Sabbath day) and me when Esther goes on and on about religious ethics.  But together, we are whole and work together in so many ways with the same passions, sense of humour and more. As our anniversary this year fell on Yom Kippur, which is a day of fasting in the Jewish religion, we decided to celebrate with a nice dinner without the dinner! Made it cheaper for me!...

Its Just been one of these days i've been running around for no purpose and not managing to do anything . Sorry I will make it up  Those that are fasting Yom Kippur - Day of atonement , safe and easy fast 

It has not been a good day. My body is aching because of back pain. The day started off with me oversleeping. I woke up to discover one of my editors had messed up with my article, which was printed in this morning's paper, and had made a massive mistake, which obviously reflects badly on me. Then I got a message that an old teacher of mine, Baruch Chalamish, had passed away from cancer. When I was between schools at one time, Baruch taught me privately and I remember it as one of the high points of my life. Then, later today, Manchester United lost 6-3 to our noisy neighbours, Manchester City. A major blow up, as I predicted a 2-1 United win. I have so much coursework to do and all I want to do is sleep!  But work is work, so gonna to smoke a cigarette and have a bite to eat and continue. No matter how tough life gets and what hits you, you gotta do what you have to do, to fight for what you need to fight for. At this point, I do have to say I'm jealous of my friend, David H...
