I did some thinking last night. I hadn’t done any of it in a long time, what with school and all, so I thought it was about time I tried to do some of the stuff. Anyways, that (plus the fact that I’m hiding in my room, away from drunken relatives) has led me to do one of those posts where the poster just rambles on and on about everything and nothing. None of it interesting.
I have English coursework to do. Romeo + Juliet – I have to annotate a copy of the first scene, directing it all as though it was a stage play. Not a bad deal considering most classes are doing essays. Pity it’s not a film, because that would be pretty fun to do, especially casting. “Right then, the first scene is gonna be set in a strip club...hmm, I’ll need strippers…ok, I’ll give that part to Jennifer Lopez…”
“Right, I need someone to die in the opening scene to show the audience that this is a world where death is commonplace…Di Caprio would be perfect…. Especially if we used a real gun with real bullets…”
Not that I wish death on anyone or anything. Death sucks, simply because it is so final, and it is unavoidable. No matter how good a life you lead, you will die at some point, never to return. That really sucks. I don’t want to die, ever, simply because I don’t buy into the heaven/hell concept. Once you die, that is it, your consciousness is gone and you are no longer an entity capable of thought. You are just a bunch of cells in a grave somewhere.
That’s really depressing…I am going to die, and it won’t be the end of the world. Life will always go on. The human race could all die, and it wouldn’t be the end of everything. Electrons and stuff would still move about, bacteria would do stuff (I think). That’s what I don’t get about some people…they believe that if the human race dies, it will be ‘the end of the world’. It won’t be the end of the world. It will be the end of the human race.
Bored yet?
Watched Pearl Harbor today. Terrible script, but altogether it’s not as bad as people have said – the action sequences in particular are superb. As good as they are, however, I wonder if they’re really worth what it cost to make them. I don’t know the exact budget for the film, but wouldn’t the money used to make it be better spent giving kids immunizations in some 3rd world country? I mean, if this film wasn’t made, it wouldn’t exactly make a huge difference to our lives. But if $550,000,000 (or whatever it was) was used saving some kids somewhere…wouldn’t that make a bigger difference?
Woah… what the hell am I talking about?
I won GAD 3 the other day for a batch of Tony Hawks hints. Special Reserve rule – I mean, I have won 7 stuffs (nice word that) from them – 4 games, 3 DVDs. £40 for Zelda 2, £60 for CBFD, £25 for Shenmue, £45 for Tony Hawks 3, £25 for Fight Club, £22 for Shrek, and another £22 for The Matrix double pack. My sister has also won a FAD which she hasn’t claimed…and she won’t, until she gets home from uni.
That’s £249, or thereabouts. Would rather have had the cash, but that amount of stuffs for talking to (generally) nice and interesting people is a pretty good deal. Dammit…I just realized that, instead of typing this, I could have made a pretty good GAD attempt. Ah well.
I got served alcohol for the first time a few weeks ago, which isn’t bad considering that I’m about 4 years too young. It’s a great breakthrough for me and my mates – no more harassing parents to buy us stuff, no more stealing tiny amounts of cooking rum from cupboards. Alcohol rules – it’s a great excuse for pretty much anything. If you do anything stupid (In my experience, things that come under the definition ‘stupid’ tend to involve members of the opposite sex), blame the booze. No, it doesn’t matter if you weren’t drunk – it is still the fault of alcohol.
While I’m on the subject of intoxication, I may as well talk about smoking we…erm, I mean smoking herbs that a perfectly legal, but get you high. I’ve been doing this (I call it stoning, although it is not at all illegal, and the herbs do not come from Jamaica) for about 3 months now, and aside from the usual side-effects you get from it (not being able to run, reeking of smoke etc) I haven’t noticed anything particularly bad about it. It just makes you happy.
I don’t see why weed is illegal. I mean, as Bill Hicks said (I think), have you ever heard of someone running over a kid while high? It’s much safer that alcohol, IMO. Probably just illegal coz the government couldn’t tax it effectively because people could just grow it in their own homes.
Holy Shiatsu Dog… I have rambled well today. Must be something to do with Christmas. Anyway folks, thanks for reading. Yeah, both of you.
Hmm….what forum should this be in?
