The TToP, The Two Types of Parents.
There are two types of parents, one who if failures they be will do anything they can to make you suceed were they have failed, they push as far as they can without any real consideration for you're feelings, then there are those who if failures they be will not be able to see any good reason why you should achieve anymore than them, it is just as bad to have either of these, and the same can be said of those who are in there own lifes great sucesses there will be those who will be those who will encopurage you in the same dirrection that they themselves went and allways hope and pray that you do just that little bit better than them cos they want to build a dynasty, then of course there are those who will be very much into the idea that you don't have follow them infact that you should not follow them with no consideration given to what you want.
My new addiction.
Some number of months, or was it weeks ago, i wrote something explaining how at one point i was obbsessed with www.wikipedia.org [address provided for those who have not hear of it] the online encyclopedia, and that then my obssesion shifted to blogger, and then to yahoo answers.
I then proceaded to offer you the chance to direct the next movements of my obssesion, but you in you apathy choose not to and thus, my obsession was left to wander aimlessly flitting between yahoo answers, blogger, and wikipedia. Eventially cold, alone, and scared it no longer had the strength or fortitude to brave the uncontrolled savagery of wikipedia and thus left its self to wallow in the barren muck between the worlds, the internet and all it had to offer glittering away in the distance like a far off galaxy. But eventually after untold times of electronic pounding against, the frozen shell of fear encrusted around my obsession in its muck an e-mail got through, an e-mail that was to give new meaning and life to my [lets cut the crap and call a spade a spade] addiction www.mymoviestream.com a saviour an enslaver an open world my new addiction.

the content of this [insert word here] does not seem to lend itself to any title.
Just received an e-mail suggesting that attendance of church prolongs life.........hmmmmmmmmm are you sure it doesn't just feel like longer [I thought to myself] and allso why is it that the inclusion of the word prolongs seems to put a negative slant on those words [ I think perhaps that its {the word 'prolongs'} use is usually acociated with the end of ones life {i.e. a terminal illness}]
Anyway what i was going to say was that i hate it when religionists refer to something involving scientific evidence, in this case that, ' scientists upon taking a survey have found what may be termed a casual relationship between the attendance of church and the living of a longer life for example one person who never attended church lived to 70 whereas a person who attended all their life lived to 80.' but you just know that if anyone tried to test this further to see, for a start exactly how far reaching these findings and secondly weather they can be replicated in labrotory conditions and thirdly weather there is a particular part of the church that affects people to the elongation of there lifes, you just know that if anyone tried to do that they just wouldn't allow it and they'd still be quoting that damn statistic!

Mobility Scooter Menace!
I was just nearly run down by one of those old people on those mobility scooters, they seem to think that they have right of way over the entire pavement, if cyclists have to use the roads when cycle paths are not available then why shouldn't they, course you can't tell them that, the fact of the matter is, is that most of them would be too scared to go on the road and so would probably just stay home and stew in their own juices, this is no solution, really what we need is some laws as for how they should use these scooters while on the pedestrian area of the street, remember, they are not pedestrians, any breaking of these laws should be met with a temporary revocation of their scooter using rights. Of course they'll be a public outcry, and the human rights people will be up in arms but then they often are and this is a perfectly natural and indeed normal position for them to be in, whats more most old people are so angry and bitter that they'll refuse to conform to any such law and go around running young people down as an act of protest, so more old people on ASBO's then.

5 things about “the Madonna adoption.”
1] She has almost certainly PUMPED money into that orphanage and will no doubt continue to do so. [Over two million so far.]
2] There are any number of reasons why she would not have been able to go to the airport and collect the boy herself, only one of these ‘in order to prevent a press frenzy’ has been explored at all and the real reason for her non attendance may well come out in the next few days, and may well cause her critics to eat there words. [Maybe i'm just grabbing at straws.]
3] The boy will almost certainly continue to have contact with his family in Malawi. [Hopfully.]
4] There are more important things to talk about. [But there's no accounting for the press, is there?]
5] The whole point behind celebrity adoptions is that they can be used to draw attention to the plight of children in certain countries and encourage others to adopt in likewise. [That and it gets you lots of sweet publicity.]

Funny news.
Two teenage girls were on a railway platform beating up a third while telling her that she can’t hit them back as they are pregnant. Kinda sums up our society, doesn’t it?
Self-analysis.
The first time I took a sabbatical from blogging it was essentially because I was busy and didn’t have the energy to do it the second time I wasn’t busy at all and I had plenty of ideas but I simply couldn’t muster up the will power to place them down on paper as it were on this occasion however the problem is much deeper I feel very strongly that I have simply lost the knack for structure this was I think caused by an increasing feeling that there was no importance in what I was writing probably caused by the fact that there seemed to be an increasing lack of interest in the blog and perhaps worse than that the fact that the people who were regularly coming on to the blog were rarely making comments and when they were they didn’t seem to say anything that added anything to the blog [see my previous post] this I suppose proves that I am not quite as secure within myself as I have previously thought, increasingly however the knack for structure has returned and yet I still feel like I don’t have enough energy or time to do it [despite the fact that I am getting up earlier than I have done for years] and so I feel as though I have come full circle and well here I am to prove it, back for good I hope.

Negative discussion killing liberalism running rife through blogger.
I've noticed something recently, that people [on blogger] seem for the most part to be unable or unwilling to make any percific comment, when speaking about someone elses writing, they just make a joke or something else vague. I don't think that anyone could think this to be a possitive thing as it allmost completely stops disscussion and as such is worse than those who write long comments of criticism and then never come back to see my counter points [yes this is me centred]. The fact of the matter is that discusion is never a bad thing regardless of what you're saying atleast its out in the open and can be countered and perhaps even ripped apart [or of course agreed with] if need be. So what's the reason for this , is it motivated by simple fear, fear that they may be made a pariah [in this case it would also be paranoia] or is it more to do with not wishing to offend or perhaps just being too lazy to think about what has been said the internet does after all does breed a certain sort of entertainment comes first thinking second culture but in any case there is one major cause for all of these things and I'm afraid that that cause is liberal society. I know that liberalism is often seen getting completely unjust beatings from conservative idiots and I disagree with that, liberalism has given us many wonderful things and its legacy should not be poo pooed but the fact of the matter is that liberalism does not breed people to be brave and forthright, it doesn't empower them to do the unpopular no matter how necessary it is, it makes you bite you're lip when you want to scream all the while not criticizing others for not biting theirs, it breeds hypocrisy and when you're a bigot possessing nothing more than the worst quality's of a Neanderthal this is a good thing, but liberalism has bred [for the most part] those quality's out of society so I ask you what is the point of it? Break free of the spell of false tolerance and speak you're mind.

Persecuting the skinny
At Milan fasion week they have put a ban on models under a certain weight meaning for instance that 5 foot 9 inch tall model would have to weigh atleast 8 stone now thats perfectly reasonable but what i object to is the completely hypocritical affront to personal liberty that this ban is. Being over weight is as bad if not worse than being under weight as it is easier to gain weight than it is to lose it [ i should know as a child i was under weight by about a stone but i'm now over weight by the same ammount ] but imagine if such a ban was introduced against any over weight person. My second objection is a logistical one what for instance what would happen if some one weighed just a pound or less under imagine the scenes back stage everyone piling in the crispy creams making themselves sick just to make sure their allowed to do their job.

Dead dogs and idustrial tribunals.
Just heard the story about a postman who was fired after he took a week off work to grieve for his dead dog Brandy [don't know how he spelt it] who he had, had since he was 11 [16 years good age for a dog] he then took his former imployers to court and the case was thus found in his favour he got his job back and was paid damages [and hopefully expenses]. Alot of people have suggested that this was a silly case and no doubt further proof of societys desent into luvy dovy madness and perhaps you'd exxpect me to agree with them, i do after all often attack this idea of molly codeling as a weakening and therefore negative influence upon a person [allthough on second thoughts a may not have actually done that on this site but i assure you i do hold tha opinion] but i think that the fact of the matter is, is that if a person can prove that they were grieving no matter what they were grieving for the simple fact of the matter is that you can't force them back into work before they are ready as this wouls cause potentially massive emotional distress on there part and allso probably prevent them from continuing to do the job to anything approuching a high standard and thus it would be a bad idea.
The ironic thing about this case is that the steriotypical relationship between a dog and a postman is that of the dog chasing the postman out of someones fron garden and bitting them on the bum.
Chief Rabbi Major Idiot reporting for duty.
The chief Rabbi of Great Britain has recently suggested that England has the most anti-semetic society on the planet, and yet there is another country were you get Arabs and Palastinians of various different sorts killing Jews and you get Jews of various different sorts killing Arabs and Palistinians keeping in ming that these people are essentially all part of the same race [the semites] surely this society [Israel] is more anti-semetic than England.
Having said that clearly there has been a rise in anti-semetic related incedents and obviously this has something to do with the recent Israeli war in Lebenon. Thae fact of the matter is that there are certain ignorant barstards in this and every country in the world who cannot tell the differance between their local Jewish butcher and an Israeli soldier driving a tank through Lebenon in much the same way as the Israeli soldier is incapable of telling the differance between a terrorist and a small child.
Why the title?.......well its just fun.

Giving oxegen to insecurity or to mild comedy?
Do you ever phone someone up, to arrange a time to meet up, only to then get scared that if you don't stop talking to them now, you won't have any conversation left fo later. It seems to me that this is based on some sort of profound insecurity, based on some idea that you have not lived and ultimately there is no path of escape from this monster because nature abhors a vaccum so it allways fills it with something but at the same time this insecurity creates paranoia and thus if you were to start doing more things thus filling tha vaccum your self in a way you would only give the paranoia oxegen the ironic thing being that there is allways something to talk about, the best thing to do is to fill the vaccum with your self.
this week [by week i mean whats gone by of this week and last week also] i have been mostly
watching Clerks, like Richard Linklaters i don't know how to spell his last name] Slacker inspired Kevin Smith, Kevin Smith has inspired me to do what? i'm not sure make a movie i suppose but i think i'd have to do it on somewhat less than twenty eight thousand dollars[!!!??!!?!?!] i have some ideas, well alright i have one idea, bassically make a movie about making a movie where the story is told through a series of auditions seen through the eyes of the directer and through this you would see the plot of the movie developing and allso see who gets what parts and allthough there would be only one camera and you would only ever see the audition room you would allso see the story of the peoples personal lifes building up through little comments that the people make durring the auditions like say for instance explaining why they were late and you would also see the story of those making the movie unfolding in a similar manner so the film would in effect be telling four story lines at the same time. most of it would be unscripted only the major plot points and the a basic film script for them to read from would be written before hand.

the american media gluts itself on 'pedophile thriller porn'.
The coverage of the ramsey case kinda ammounts to 'pedophile thriller porn' and the american media clearly loves where as in britain i haven't heard anything about it seamingly for weeks, is this just because the american media were complicit in the hounding of the ramsey family or is it the nature of the american media and indeed america its self that has caused them to latch on to this story and equally is it the nature of the british media and of britain itself that causes them to treat it as a small story or is it something implicit in the case itself the makes it unimportant?

war war the expanded edition.
The war on terrorism, the complete inefficiency in government, all the bumbling of everything from enquirerys to the hurricane katrina relief effort, everything, and I mean everything, that bush does is done in order to bankrupt the government, to drain the beast of its life blood, and when this process is complete, when there is no blood left to drain, when the government has no money left with which to run anything, then shall the vultures sweep in, the corporations from oil moguls to arms dealers. The government will slowly but surely be auctioned off. It will start out with the public amenities, then the army, and finally the white house itself and all who remain within it including the presidency. Yes in the end the president and indeed the few people who still vote, will be nothing more than fronts, patsies, and token gestures the only people who will actually have any real voting power will be the stock holders and the more stock you have the more votes you get.
Why will this be allowed to happen? Answer: The average American. The average American does not care, he does not think about politics be they global or local “that’s what the politicians are there for numb nuts”, the average American does not vote, in fact considering these other facts I would not trust the average American to vote. Bush was allowed to steal an election not through lack of information but because the average American could not be bothered to get of its humungas collective beeeehiiind and do something about it.
Why is this? [I now move from ranting into a more world-weary style feeling now to be completely destroyed] why this power? They are not politicians they are not intellectuals they are not moguls but they are the majority they have power in numbers and security and it is that security that it is the reason for their incredible apathy they feel I think collectively invincible whatever troubles they have in their everyday lives the greater world of politics never touches them so they don’t care about it they don’t care about anything that doesn’t touch them they won’t care all that much about a earthquake or civil war in some far off and unknown region until they feel it at the gas station you see it all the time on the news “how long before we feel it at the pumps”. The public gets the president it deserves, in the case of George W Bush and in the case of all those that will come after him, the president is manufactured. He is manufactured to be as close to the average American as is possible. He may be an ex-oil mogul but not a very good one and he certainly ain’t no intellectual and he’s a terrible politician, that’s what people like about him they expect nothing of him and that’s exactly what he gives them nothing and a whole load of crap, and with a president like that in charge one can’t help but wonder if the united states of America would be better of as the united corporate states of America but considering that Bush’s buddies in Halliburton are likely to be running much of the show I suspect that, that is not going to be the case.

Günter Grass
perhaps one of Germanys greatest living authors, has recently admitted that in the closing stages of the second world war [at the age of seventeen] he had been recruited into the Waffen SS. One would imagine that in a country so traumatised by its recent history such an admission, especially coming from such a high profile figure and one who is so vehemently anti nazi, would be seen as an act of bravery but no, he has been roundly and venomously attacked by politicians, by his contemporaries, by just about everyone. I find it to be further more disgusting proof of Germanys [almost] complete inability to move on from the past, a past they cling to in such a manner that it causes them to persecute anyone who questions them in this regard and to villainies individuals such as Günter Grass who like most of the country of the time were caught up in it. The fact of the matter is that the man cannot change his past only his future and his present, should he have previously been so reticent about his war time activities, no of course not but had he come out earlier he would simply have been crucified earlier.

war war
this [the war in Iraq and just about everything else he does] is all part of bush's grand plan to bankrupt the goverment so that it won't have any money to run anything and will thus have to farm things out to the private sector eventially a consortium of bankers, arms dealers and oil moguls will be running the show and when that happens the president and indeed the few people who still vote will be mere patsys, fronts, puppets and tokens only the shareholders will get to really vote. Not that that will bother the average american as the average american doesn't vote in fact i wouldn't trust the average american to vote, W is in power because the average american doesn't care enough to get off their great collective beeehiiinds, so maybe americas new corporate overlords will acttually run the country better, but then seeing as its likely to be haliburton running the things, probably theres no hope of that.

ceasefire?
Israel has once again wrong footed itself as it has been doing since the very begining of this war, the ceasefire may not be over, after all Hizbolah hasn't completely restocked its arms yet, but Israel has certainly broken it. When the ceasefire began Hizbolah said that it would be made invalid if Israeli troops were to remain in the country and thus they would be fired on, Israeli troops have indeed remained in the country and yet Hizbolah has failed to make good on its promise and as it turns israel has been the first to brake the ceasefire by attacking Hizbolah killing three Hizbolah fighters and losing one of its own, they claimed that they were dissrupting arms coming in from Syria and Iran noble aims perhaps but this entire opperation makes Hizbolah look like the 'big man' and Israel........... well it doesn't make them look very good atall. They have as i said once again completely wrong footed themselves this entire war which Israel launched not simply against Hizbolah but against the entire Lebonease nation has made Hizbolah who were previously dispised by much of the Lebonease people and there goverment look like heroes.
And so what is the international comunity going to do well......... probably nothing at least not for some time what they need to do is broaker a similar ceasefire in Gaza and then go onto more permanant stabalising action in Lebonon preventing any other war from breaking out, and then back to Israel where they need to enforce 'the road map' but this won't happen the fact of the matter is that conflict in this region seems so much to simply be the status quo that no one cares all that much about it except to the extent that they speak many token words to make themselves look good and the fact of the matter is that if there was no oil there then they probably wouldn't even do that.
