I walk into the middle of a conversation and, blam!

...............................................................yes Molten Boron Man, I too enjoy the pastime of going up to some on their birthday and no matter how young they are say “never mind you’ll be picking up you pension soon”

And it went on so on and so forth. Now what the hell was that about!

Terrible future happenings sent back to us through a time warp.

Take that as a warning!

Now see if you can guess my birthday, I just need the day and the month but you can get special extra points if you guess the year as well.Remember I’m trusting you not to cheat by looking in my profile.

Liberty, Fraternity, Equality.

It seems to me (the rant from hell begins sedately enough) that Nikolas Sarkasky (Frances president elect) is little more than a facist pig, but don't get me wrong this is fascism with a small ef. It seems to me (a phrase that once sounded so sedate and polite now brisstles with rage) that he has a pathological aversion to anything even slightly left wing, which apparantly includes strikers, immigrants, students, and of course anyone who dares to take part in a protest unless of course that protest is protesting something left wing or something in one of the previously mentioned 'left wing' catogries. People say that he's a modernist, but it seems to me that if you want to progress then you build on the past, you don't try and destroy it and Sarkosky has publically stated his wish to destroy the legacy of 1960's student radicalism. He wants France to be able to compete in the world market (OK cool man, but please put down the gun, i say in my finest Parisian accent) so he wants to get rid of the 30 hour working week, fair enough some might say, but do you think he's going to put a limit on it, or do you think he's more likely to let employers set whatever hours they like without any legislative protection for the workers because of course protecting the workers from abuse isn't cost effective, and of course longer hours mean greater productiveness for the average company about town (town in this case being the global market place) If by chance these hours are just the other side proper and good and someone falls asleep because they don't have enough time to get a decent nights sleep then just dock their hours and make them stay longer to make up the time, but wait a second the money i gave them (the worker) after i docked their (still the worker) hours was a lot less than what i gave them before i docked their hours, hmmmmm that gives me an cunning idea maybe i should just pay them less then i get to keep more money and they work longer to earn the same as they were earning before, and i get more money, and they fall asleep more and and more and i pay them less and less and keep more and more for myself and pretty soon i'm not paying them anything at all, and now we're really competing i mean we're going great guns those Yanks better watch out cos there's a new cat in town (town being the global market place) and the best thing of all is that if anyone commplains then you can just call them a Communist traitor, and who ever listens to them i mean come on man this ain't Russia 19 something something cos i didn't do that well in history (but who needs history thats like so yesterday), i mean what are you gonna do send me to the work camp! Ha Ha Ha Haaaaa.

In my honour, moi?

In reference to my post intitled 'Well anyway....................................................'
I also stated that these labels are good thing when I should have said that they are rubbish. The only reason I thought they were good was because I thought that they would allow someone clicking on one of them to go to a list of all the bloggers who have labeled their posts with that, but all they actually do is go to another post in the same blog with the same label, so really they just work as an index, but really what they should have done was just have an indexing button that you can install on your blog, like they have a news thingy that you can install it would be much better that way, and you should be able to link your index to indexes on all the other blogs that have them, this has gone a bit out of the realms of corrections hasn’t it.

Some people say, 'never forgive never forget', others are more liniant with the world and they can forgive, but they never forget, but imagine if you do it the other way round so you forget but you never forgive, so you go around being angry, and holding grudges against people that you can't remember!

Concerning my post intitled 'Midterm ma? maaa?..... something begining with a M signifying boredom.'

Though I was correct to say that the Labour party’s recent thrashing in the local elections was no where near as bad as had been predicted it was still a thrashing and a thrashings a thrashing a thrashings a thrashing, what’s more it has also meant that they have lost power in Scotland, where most of the party’s leadership seems to come from. The party replacing them is the Scottish National Party, commonly referred to as the SNP, the interesting thing about this is that they want to break Scotland away from the rest of the UK, great I say maybe this’ll mean we can send back our Scottish politicians like Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, and Jack Straw, not that this is likely to happen as they have proportional representation in Scotland, and though the SNP got more votes than the other parties they did not get a majority of all votes and thus they will have to rule in coalition, and none of the other parties want that idea to even be on the tables. phhhhhhaaaaiaa aphhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa thats proportional representation for you, no no no say what you like about it but for ruling a country there's nothing quite like good old semi-sonic, semi-detached, semi-democracy. Just like they have in the good old United K.

Concerning my post titled 'Nine Inch nails Year Zero'


I find that on the seventh, or is it the eighth listening, the beats of Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Year Zero’ are ever and ever less and less Alec Empire(esque) and the album as a whole is ever and ever more and more revelatory and even revolutionary it becomes to be ever and ever more and more of a sea change, and at the same time, somewhat paradoxically, the more and more I listen to it the more and more it seems to ingrain itself into the Nine Inch Nails tradition; of course really there’s nothing paradoxical about it, continued listening doesn’t simply allow you to plumb the depths of the thing itself, it also breeds familiarity with it, and with familiarity your rational mind puts it ever and ever more and more into your previously held concepts and knowledge.

Commentary

When i first started writing said peice, [Nine Inch Nails Year Zero] i had no idea that i would end up saying anything negative about the album [Year Zero] at all, i thought i would just make a series of observations, but the longer i left it the more convolluted my thoughts of it became, and so when it came time to write it, i really and truly did not know where i would be coming from, or rather i did not know how i was going to structure the peice, and unstructured writing is very much like thinking aloud, one never quite knows where it is going to go.

Final clinching proof of the non existence of God.

More diplomatically called, ‘three arguments against the possible existence of God’

Argument 1

If God is God then he must be the biggest thing possible.

If God is God then he must be separate from all things.

If God is separate from all things then he must exist completely outside of any possible thing, God must exist outside of the universe, and if God exists outside of the universe then there would be a space bigger than God, i.e. The universe plus God.

Argument 2

Some people would say that far from God having to exist separately from all things the opposite must be the case, he must exist inside of all things, but if God exists in all things then he must be indistinguishable from them, and if that is the case then one can not logically talk about any entity called God, this however is the difference between the polytheistic eastern concept of god and the monotheistic western concept of God.


Argument 3

If God is God then he must be perfect.

If God is God then he must be sentient.

If God is sentient then he must be capable of free choice, but if God is perfect then all of his choices must be perfect choices, and if all of his choices must be perfect choices then he cannot make bad choices in which case he is not truly capable of free choice, in which case he is not sentient.


God can still have the qualities of all knowingness and all powerfulness, but these are of little use to him without the quality of existence.


“Oh dear” says God and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

Mommy smack bad Tony

I tell you that git Tony Blair, he such a baby 'Me no wanna go, me nooooo wanna goooo!' 'Now come on Tony its time to let Gordon play Prime Monkey' 'Don't wanna, i hate gordon' 'Now Tony you know thats not true, you love Gordon' 'I love George, Gordon, smells' 'Well then he should be well suited to playing Prime monkey, now are you going to give it up or do i have to take it from you?' 'its mine, its mine, iiitttttttsssss mmiiiinnneee!' and so on and so forth.

'Wah Waaaaaaah', says british public.

Midterm ma? maaa?..... something begining with a M signifying boredom.

We just had our midterm elections over here in blighty, and i thought... well i won't bother to pay much attention to them, barely knew they were happening infact, i mean i'm a voter but they weren't happening where i live, so i couldn't vote, i don't live in some wierd Vatican like enclave its just that they are staggered over here, or so i would imagine they are, on second thought maybe i do live in a Vatican like enclave, its called London pleased to meet you, so anyway i didn't really care, midterms never make a dent in the political spectrum, and they never really change anything.................... but then i remembered the most recent mid terms in the US................ didn't the Democrats fend off everyones predictions of another boring mid term by winning The House? If you have a very poor memory and don't remember, then the answer is yes, yes they did that thing, they took The House, they fought them here they thought them there they stormed the beaches and they came out triumphant, it almost brings a tear to the eye.......................................... no such luck for UK, Labour were given a bit of a thrashing but not as big a one as everyone was predicting, same old same old, same old same old.

take advantage of the absence of the devil and he, or in this case she, will come.

So i'm at work and my boss has been gone for sometime and i don't have anything to do and so i'm getting a bit bored to say the least, so i start to think maybe i should use the free time to post something on here, and so i start composing it in my head and i'm about half a line in, or so, and in she walks all fire and fury and brimstone and red glowing pride with her tail and pitch fork..........well allright she isn't actually the devil, just a bit analyretentive, if that how you spell it, she's allright though, well maybe...............

Phat joke about fat people.

How do fat guys pull? They have their own gravitational field, so occasionally girls just get pulled into orbit.

The Punishment of Strength 2

An epic narrative exploration of the effects of egalitarianism on certain individuals living within society. The punishment of intelligence. Disruptive children are rewarded with attention whereas quite children are ignored. Weaker students are rewarded with attention regardless of whether there is any hope of improvement, whereas the stronger students are ignored or to put it another way they are punished for their intelligence. The consequences of this is that the stronger students eventually gain much resentment and lose much faith in the system and as a consequence of this they stop caring and stop trying and thus they end up being weaker academically than those who are less intelligent than them, worse even than those who are considerably less intelligent than them. I would put forward a supposition that this is irony, though more ironic than that is that this is the best probable consequence that one can hope for, there are far worse ones, and that is an irony in itself.

another blog? yes another blog, why shouldn't i, you have 5 yourself you know? well allright no need to get snippy, i'm just saying.

I’m thinking of starting another blog, bringing the total to four, five if you include my one totally inactive, or rather, unused blog, blog from the bog. It’ll be totally dedicated to the lyrics that I’ve written over the years. I’ve put off doing something like this for sometime now, basically because I’ve always been worried about bands taking them and using them without my permission, I don’t really have a lot of knowledge of copyright law so this is justified to a certain degree. However I recently learned that in America, where blogspot, or blogger if you will, is based, you get automatic copyright, or ownership rights, or something like that on anything that you write so those fears have been dispelled, somewhat at least, I still don’t know much about copyright law, let alone international copyright law. This of course, leaves just this one nagging doubt, putting my lyrics out as poetry, written word without music, wouldn’t that be an admission of defeat, like me saying to you, “yeh I know I’m never going to form that band, you where right all along, I admit it damn you.” But increasingly I’m starting to think that if I put myself forward more as a musician and lyricist then maybe it’ll put that problem to rest. For the last few years I’ve plowed on with my own music without that aid of band mates maybe its time I did the same thing with my lyrics.
