Ever have one of those weekends where you do nothing and feel like your just waiting to go back to work on Monday? I had one this weekend due mainly to its proximity to payday i.e. payday soon, me brassick (broke for those sukkas not from the streetz). They really bring home how much of our lives we waste/wish away. Who doesn't spend half there time wishing it was next week/next month/Holiday time! There is always something better just around the corner, you just have to sit out the time until then. It seem like such a waste of life to me, and im the worst at it! Can't wait for the weekend, next weekend, payday! So you spend your time sitting around bord rather than being constructive because you convince yourself that without money/with work tomorow that you can't do anything! And even being able to see that this is what i do, i still carry on doing it, telling my self i'll change it in a couple of days once i have been paid! And so the cycle continues. I think it is a symptom of a society which is a mix between the need for instant gratification, paradoxicly, always waiting for a REAL improvement such as not having to work everyday for 40 years to put food on the table and a roof over your head. Anyway should go now, got to get on with waiting for payday, it will all be better then!

In responce...

I feel people misconstrued my 6th point. My point, not very well put was that Ardel O'Hanlen has gone from 'Father Ted', which was great, to 'My Hero' which is awful. My point was more that BBC1 took someone who was great, stuck him in a poor sitcom, and now he's a bit shit. Hope this clears the matter up.

10 things wrong with the World
@ 2005-09-22 – 18.24:24
I was just having a chat with someone at work and decided to compile a list of 10 things that are currently a bit shit in the World we call Earth. Now some may be a bit contriversial, and you may disagree with me BUT remember this is just from my point of view and you are more than welcome to suggest changes or give me a pursuasive argument why any should be droped. I am a reasonable man and will give any comment due consideration.
Here goes:1) Religion in its current state. Start of with the big one! My reasoning is that although a belief system is important to a lot of people and has been important to human development, in the current climate of the World it is mixed with politics, which is wrong on many, many levels. The collective mixed group of people in a country should not have decisions based on one persons beleif systems, even if the majority agree. Your spiritual belefs should be a personal thing.
2) Unnecisary poverty. Dont need to go in to any depth. People starving when there is easly enough to around, and the fat countrys could still stay fat is just beyond comprehention to me.
3) Oil. Bit of a boring one, but if people invested as much time, money and effort on finding a viable renewable energy sourse we would have a much cleaner and better world and i have a sneeky suspistion there would be a little less bloodshed!
4) Obese People in revealing clothes. If you want to wear that crop top, lose a bit of weight! Dont punish us because you eat ice cream for breakfast and butter your bacon.
5) Pikeys. Kids walking around drinking cider, wearing Burbury, shooting at Pigions with BB guns, and generaly having no sence of shame or feelings at all it seem. When i were a lad, in the 80's (not that long ago) i got up to mishchief but if i did anything abit boarder line i felt guilt, what with being human, but they seem to have lost there humanity which worries me slightly. And if i wanted to drink at 16 i'd find a pub that excepted fake NUS cards!
6) Rubbish BBC1 Sitcoms. From 'Father Ted' to 'My Hero' in one easy step downwards. 'Last of the Summer Wine' or as i call it 'Old out of work actor retirement scheme' and don't get me started on 'the Vicar of Dibbley', the characters are ever so slightly one dimentional "I've got an idea, some bloke says 'No alot, but then says yes! Genius!".
7) The trend toward effeminate looking men. Oh yeh he might look pritty like a girl and spend longer on his hair than you, but not much use if you get attacked by a wild dog, or are trapped under something heavy is he?!
8) Spiders. Pointless killing machines. People keep them as pets? Really?! 'Oh he's lovely, those cute little fangs, red blood cell destroying enzymes, 8 georgious eyes' What a nasty piece of work. There place in the food chain is pointless, in England they eat flys, get rid of them and Frogs can take there place, a marked improvement!
9) Grey Represive Skys. A northern European phenominon. Low grey skys but no rain to clear them away so they stay for 8 months of the year!
10) Top 10 lists
My top 10 good thing about the World coming soon....

Drinking too much is bad for you
@ 2005-09-19 – 13.54:25
I know what your thinking, what a load of rubbish, and i am inclined to agree. Having said that after 5 days of drink i would have to say i feel a bit worse for ware. The problem with working in a big company is that it is always someones leaving doo, or birthday and the problem with generaly getting on with most people is that you are expected to go to all these events. To be fair its better than never getting invited (i feel bad for those people, not bad enough to invite them, but i do feel bad) but it does mean spending all your money down the pub rather than on the more important stuff, like food and vital opperations, and you do start to feel rough so oftern that you forget what not having a hangover or being drunk feels like. So i have desided to have a de-tox week to allow myself to recover. I'll let you know how i do. I'm sure you will have a good laugh when i give up after a day! Not that im a pessamist!
