#Quarter past Midnight#

Another new year, another...New Year's Day. Sorry, but I just don't see this year's as any significant. Yes, it's the first time I'm 18 during the New Year, but I've still to fulfil. Could next year be one of grand significance to I? Well, assertiveness is my number one New Year's Resolution.

Angry Rant

Not aiming to parallel Ra'mond, I'm angry about a particular area. Are you ready for this? It's...ignorance. I'll go for blatant acts of ignoramus. Yesterday, I intended to buy Bjork's 'Family Tree' Boxset from MVC, but alas, regardless of ordering it 14 days ago (their record, not one I kept). So I got Kingdom Hearts instead, for a bargain-ish £25 brand new.

Obvious problems aside (slow 50Hz with borders, well done to all at Sony Europe), I played. Then...I noticed. It's fucking Haley Joel Osment or whatever he's called. He does the main character's voice. And the character is a complete stereotype of every other Japanese thing presented to me by...Japanese Animes. Great. Next there's the ally who acts all mature and believes he knows more than you and is better than you in every way, but is in fact a complete prick. Damnit. And the other ally, a cute girl.

Oh fuck, do Square learn shit at all? There's never any other people from other ethnic backgrounds, no ugly people, no people with medical problems and the sort...I'd like to kick everybody's arse at Square (or Square-Enix, as it shall be known now). And the fact that they decided to use Americans to do the voices pisses me off still. Is Britain not a country? Just because we could kick the shit out of everybody else in the world doesn't mean we have to be ignored. The fact is, I don't care about the Disney characters making it a 'kid's game'. I hate the fact that the game features all other irritating clichés that I have ever come across. F'ck you, Square.

Go

Merry Christmas, y'all. I got the diablo!

Jerry Christmas, Everybody

Indeed. Less than two days. Great thing! There's a place opening in Liverpool called Fact which is basically an artsey-type cinema affair showing individual efforts, films that you'd find at film festivals and other creative technological things. I will be spending my spare moments there, mark my ear. Only gotta wait 'til the end of February...how hard can it be? Otherwise, find humour aplenty in the comic strip at catandgirl.com. Where are you, Gay Byrne?

Super Uppercut, Please

Feelin' funky. Would like to have funky Christmas, rather than the usual commercialised one that relies mainly on people's short memories. I know probably for a fact that the next job I will get will be at the fairground, since that was easy (although I suspect cold in March). I suppose one of my calls in life is to be an idler, but that somehow requires work. A great deal of lateral thinking (thinking in a different way to the norm) is required, which is related to building up more than enough common sense. I suppose that the ideal lifestyle is to do what you want, but applying what you can to getting it. Incidentally, after about 40 minutes thought, communism could work. However, there's little chance of it happening in our lifetime.

In the future, machines will do all jobs. Money is nothing. We can get any object that we desire, provided it exists. People would choose to follow whatever lifestyle they desire, whether it be 'being a ninja' to 'being a pro-wrestler'. Health is no problem, as nanomachines or whatever they're called cater to all our bodily needs. Everything ever is renewable, except bread, still. People can still do things they want to do today, as well. Drugs are all legal, except the useless ones, and guns don't exist, except in some cave in the lower regions of Cumbria, in case we have a war with some aliens. If somebody wants to learn something, they learn it like in that film, 'The Matrix', where a disc will cater to all your needs. I think that works.

And everybody hates the KKK.

Bought something before Christmas, ashamedly

I don't think it's a good form of judgment, but to buy something merely on the basis of the cover is quite a gamble. Thankfully, mine paid off, as I bought 'Zombina and the Skeletones' debut album from Probe Records t'day. For a tenner. Frightfully groovy, marvellously laid back and acceptable to be called a band from Liverpool. Since the cover had a picture of Wolfboy (weird comic book that has caught my eye a few times), it had me in it's grasp. If you can get a copy, buy, buy, take!

Add some Edam. And pepper. But not basil

Today was the last of all two of my exams for this semester. Now, I'm not sure if stupidity is supposed to run rife, but the exam today was INSULTINGLY easy. It was a multiple choice exam. I haven't had one of those since pre-GCSE years. We had an hour to do 30 questions, I finished in quarter of an hour. And got bored. Bored enough to ask to go to the toilet, talk to some guy outside the toilet, ask a teacher there for an early finish (but could not get), and bore bore, bore. Hell, my revision consisted of, "Ho-hum. I could do this or play Pro Evolution Soccer/ I could go watch King of the Hill/ I could contemplate when I will get the first Mr Scruff album". Suffice to say, I think I got about 28/30 questions correct. Plus, the Christmas Tree in the Living Room creates an atmosphere that is too relaxing.

Sick to the back teeth...

...of new wave nu-punk bands. Boring me, man. I need to get albums by:
-The Upsetters
-The Music
-Doves
-Depeche Mode
-Hawkwind (don't know why)
-Captain Beefheart
-Amen (still not got album yet)
-Roots Manuva
-A Tribe Called Quest
-Jazzy Jeff
-and other hip hop.

Proposal Sevendy Two

New Proposal that I pray I will follow through (no, not have a dump or what-have-you) - make a new society. Unless I'm too late, I want to make a new society, unless it involves too much work. Either: a games society, were people just bring consoles along and play a lot of games, or a wrestling society, where people bring wrestling vids/DVDs and watch. Not too hard, right?

Twat

Well, I decided what my most looked forward-to Christmas Present shad be. Unfortunately, I don't know where to get them. I asked for a unicycle. Worthy of learning, and if I make enough, I want to get a violin as well. And driving lessons. Frank to say though, Christmas Television looks a bit shit this year, what with no Rex the Runt, Channel 4 showing that shitty 'comedy' that begins with 'F' and ends with 'riends'. At least Spy Hard is on.

Not exam

With the exam that was mentioned by Syld, I took it. And it was pretty...easy as cake, really. Presented were a list of seven topic areas, and the participants were instructed to 'Write notes about four of the topics'. No questions, just bung down as much crap as you know about each subject. And I was like 'yeah' and 'dudey' (my phrase at the moment) and 'God, I wish I didn't drink so much lemonade. I need the loo'.

Give Down


Which WWE finishing move are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Cheers, Quizalla. And Popdog.

Give up

Well, I give up. I'm not going to be writing tawdry old tat for a good while now, as I will have to get genuinely interesting stuff. I feel like more of a gossip-monger at the moment than someone original, so I shall only be using this page for more interesting posts. Or at least detailed posts, since sharing a computer can really hamper the amount of stuff that can be written. Out.

Sell me the soul of the nearest goat

Speaking to old friend in MVC t'day, he told me how MVC had cancelled one of DJ Goldie's orders, as it had been a month since he placed the order, regardless of being in the Big Brother House (for all of three days). Then he had a go at the people in the shop. Some people just cannot be satisfied. I don't know where Goldie lives, but he must have a place somewhere near Southport. Eediot. And I decided to get an application form for Blockbuster Video, since I'm really lazy. Either that or Fast Food work - and you obviously know what I wouldn't choose.

To be Frank, or to be Hilary...

Truly excellent. Inspiring, to say the least:

SKIVER OF THE WEEK
29 Nov 2002

London's Metro newspaper tells the story of Ashley Hardy who was jailed for eight years after swindling £1.5 million and spending it all in three months.

When he was arrested he told police: "I am Ashley Hardy. I am the person you want to speak to. I have spent the lot. I have been around the world and had a fantastic time and I'm fully prepared to go to prison."

Thanks, Idler. Makes me want to rob stuff. Seriously.

Smells like Children

Don't buy a game this week! Screw the urges. I wanted to get Baku Baku Animal from *location not being given, a-ha*, but I will not succumb. Of course, it would seem stupid if the world and his wife bought games willy nilly the following week, but be good. Bring down capitalism. Sell it to George Bush.
