Past midnight, Blogging is go.

Ah. So having been suitably roused by some well-meaning idiocy in our quaint student household, coupled with an overarching desire to not-sleep, I find myself as usual in a slightly pissy mood doing what I do best at this time of the night. And I don't mean clubbing children.

GOD. Children piss me off.

Not all of them mind. Mostly only the ones I see around here. Maybe it's because the more innocuous younglings don't draw any attention to themselves and I can happily ignore them in my daily routine of wake->uni->home->eat->go out [replace 'go out' with 'write blog' as appropriate]. But, living next to a run down council estate you'd be forgiven for thinking that every sub-18 year old is a badly dressed loudmouth with the IQ of a football and the public decency of Lindsay Lohan on ketamine. You can't pass a miserable, sweaty group of the jumped up little bastards without getting insults hurled vaguely at you (or anyone you're standing near) in this sort of pathetic pre-pubescent powerplay that smacks of underdeveloped brain syndrome (medically classified as being "Fucking thick").

You know the sort. 

They potter around in their little 'cru' with their stupid hair and their stupid Adidas trousers tucked into their stupid socks, feeling like entitled little dictators. I don't believe in capital punishment for one minute but I wouldn't hesitate, if I were the parent of one of the swaggering little parasites, before branding 'dickhead' on them with a hot iron. That being said, probably the average parent of one of these respiring little shit-sacks is a fat wobbling mass of cheap lager and nicotine farting their way through benefits only stopping to occasionally piss and moan about rich people. Yes fat-cat businessmen are wankers, but at least they're wankers who own yachts and aren't going to die, writhing in chest pains from a self induced heart attack, at an age where their sole achievement is contaminating the earth with their useless effing offspring.

An aside:

I'd like at this stage to add some caveats: being as we are living in an age of very loud online groups with acronyms instead of names, if more than my customary audience of about 20 readers get hold of this and feel that I've somehow implied that all council estate dwellers are in fact bottom feeding scum, I will be summarily lynched publicly and expensively. As this is the case I'll qualify this by saying firstly that I have nothing against council estates inasmuch as I can't have anything against inanimate areas of habitation: and also that I'm somehow generalising whole groups of the population (perhaps unfairly) into a category of sub-human faeces whom I utterly despise.

This second point holds some value: it's impossible to completely generalise people. You can't even say you hate Nazis because Oscar Schindler was a Nazi and he helped a whole bunch of Jews in a bizarrely altruistic way.

However I take the view that most people clever enough to type in a web address (or at least follow a hyperlink) can also realise this themselves. In this case generalisations are useful and you shouldn't have to worry about the sort of covering-your-own-ass which I am relentlessly pursuing in this very paragraph. In short: I'm picking on the people who deserve to be picked on. If you're not a stupid little cock, and your parents aren't blundering arseholes, then I'm not aiming my comments at you and please don't take offence; even if you live/lived on a council estate. By virtue of the fact you're reading this you're a completely different league of human being.
These guys obviously agree with me. You can tell because they have sunglasses on.

To resume, then.

I haven't been alive long enough to make the kind of conceited comment that this wave of human-shaped viruses is somehow a product of the current times/government/digital revolution/water fluoridation. I imagine a large majority of the older populace does just this on a regular basis. My main question though, is why does there seem to be such a divide? This is all based on the microcosm of society that I have been exposed to in my short 21 years but you rarely find people that sit in the middle of laddish-thug and what I'd call a normal person. It's an honest question and I'd be happy for some sociologist to explain to me and then give me a firm telling-off for cheapening their science by blogging about it.

Until they eradicate the stupid gene though, we're stuck with them. We even have the word 'Chav' to encapsulate the whole nauseating class into one succinct syllable for easy conversation. We as a society have clearly hunkered down and just gotten used to the fact that they exist and aren't going anywhere except possibly the old-folks home to steal things and piss on the walls. They're going to keep yelling that bystanders are gay, keep smoking from the ripe old age of twelve, keep knocking back White Lightening like it's not fermented Demon-piss, and keep getting each other knocked up so that their kind can continue to get on everyone's tits for generations to come.

And there's nothing you can do about it. Goodnight.

Not sure where this one will go

I think a combination of constant revision and occasional indulgence has somewhat hindered my blogging abilities as of late. There's only so much you can write on the joys of Thermodynamics... as I'm sure my physics comrades will agree.
Now that exams are over and freedom is (relatively) within my grasp, I'm once again free to revel in the simple pleasures of the web, laser tag, climbing trees, getting lashed, and general socialising.
Leaving school for the summer signified a well earned break in an otherwise tedious slog through the school term. This is something slightly different. Not only will I severely miss Southampton over the next months, it also won't be complete freeloading over summer. Jobs and house-moving are going to be the next big items of concentration. I also feel a strange compulsion to learn something new. I think I have overactive brain syndrome. The big gap created by the lack of physics to come will have to be filled with some new and (probably) less useful knowledge lest I regress to a state of slobbering idiocy over summer and (god forbid) end up playing WoW or D&D.
Maybe there's a lesson to be learned for those poor folk out there who are aware of their nerdiness and wish to reform: pick a skill, say, poker, and learn it like hell. It'll be more fulfilling, more beneficial in the long run (head to Las Vegas) and ultimately something you can hold a conversation about without your listeners attempting to flee through open windows. 

I think music is always something worth getting into as well. Too often has it been said that one "would love too play [enter instrument here]". Like all things, if you really, REALLY, would "love" too, then get off your arse, sign off of Facebook, turn off the TV, and bloody well learn it. There's no excuse really.
No-one's perfect in this respect. Everyone has things they want to do that really aren't practical or possible in certain circumstances, but if you use the L word, you should be prepared to work for it. Nothing's impossible to get into if you don't want to. Especially if you're at Uni. 
I for example, would like to learn Japanese. Not for any particular purpose, just coz. Fact is though, I don't want to badly enough that I'd give up say, playing guitar, magic, climbing, etc etc. to make room for it.

Hmm... I'm getting bored of this thought thread. Lets try something else.

*Flexes thought muscles*

Nope. Nothing meaningful. In that case, let's drop this in for random value:


This is a pretty appalling video- and I won't grant it the pleasure of a long rant. What I will provide is the following response from a number of famous faces:


Which is most definitely oscar worthy.... that's probably true. If Slumdog can win EIGHT. EIGHT. Did they actually WATCH it? Did they not realise the lead character was as likeable as an Amish Labour politician? I spent the whole film wanting to slap his face just to try and elicit some kind of actual emotional response instead of bland indifference. Clearly he graduated from the Keanu Reeves school of acting....
