To be honest, that title has nothing to do with this post.
So anyway I was watching this Drama on TV the other day. Its based on Chritianity and it got me thinking.....
When it comes to Religion I am agnostic pure and simple. I've thought long and hard about wether there is a God or wether there isn't and after much effort i've decided I just don't know. Kind of a waste of time since I started that way.
If you think about it this way. Since the Universe is 156 billion light years across I would like to know what happens when you reach the end. Do you hit some sort fo wall? Fall of a waterfall? Come out the other side like in Pacman? Well I for one do not know. And also. Whats outside the Universe? Is there just nothing? Blackness? More space? Or a pair of aliens playing marbles like MIB would have us believe? Well who knows.
What started the big bang off aswell? Thats probably the biggest question and one that remains unanswered.
So until there is strong eveidence towards an answer to these questions, I'm keeping an open mind.
I don't want to be worng afterall...

I'm just that vain
Isn't it odd when you find yourself wanting to have bad eyesight just so you can wear glasses.
So yeah, thats what happened too me not so long ago. I found myself hoping I had a problem just so I could look a bit more fashionable and sophisticated. Jeez how pathetic. I actually found a pair I would loved to have purchased. A pair of white Armani's. God they were amazing but alas I'll have to take my perfect vision and suffer without.
Got them checked out and had no problems at all. Guess I should be happy but not being able to look even better is such a downer.
Some people just have all the luck

You must be having a bath if you think you're half inchin' that...
After watching a few episodes of 'Little Britain: USA' I decided to see what the Americans thought of this sort of obscure humour. Its not for the faint of heart afterall. I took a peak at the imdb.com page for it and came across a number of Americans complaining about a couple of British comedians faking American accents and making a social statement about the country. Guess they got a taste of their own medicine.
Whenever you watch an American TV show and theres a British character they are always either an upper class twit or a total cockney. I for one do not sound like either. I don't find myself going up the apple and pears or drinking a cup of Rosy lee as the Americans TV producers would have you believe.
I can think of another five English accents without even thinking about it. We have Gerodie, Northumbrian, West country, Brummie, Cornish, Yorkshire....I know thats six but the list goes on and on. Thats just England. Go to Scotland and every different city and area seems to have its own accent.
So Americans, take note. We British don't just speak the Queen's English and we don't speak Cockney instead. We have a diverse language full of accents from thousands of years of history not just the two you portray us as having.
Mind you I won't be complaining about the whole being sophisticated idea. Thats one area where you've hit the nail right on the head.
Oh and hello Steph
Peace out!

Call me Romeo
So i'm a romantic guy. More romantic than most if i'm brutally honest. I'll comeback to this in a minute.
I'm depressed about the fact that theres no romance left in this world anymore (told you I would). I bet alot of you will have just shouted out " What about valentines day?!?". In a way, valentines day is an excellent opportunity for men to brandish their wives or girlfriends with gifts. Its even better if your the owner of a massive card company. So back to my point. Shouldn't everyday be like that. Surly we men don't need a reminder to make the women in our lives feel special.
This gets my goat. What also gets it is the fact that theres no one going on dates anymore. Its now a case picking the girl you want and saying " Yep, you're my girlfriend now"
All women want is to feel loved and that they're all that matters to you and yet you have to be reminded to buy a measly card once a year. Tsk Tsk. Things need to change. Bigtime.

"Baaaa" went the human...
I feel like I'm living in a movie. One of the Star Wars movies to be exact. 'Attack of the clones'. I'm not exactly flying through space right now or fighting off droids with a bright blue lightsaber. That happens when I'm asleep. Rather Its the whole clone part of the story.
Living where I do I am surrounded by tourists in the summer months. They arrive in droves with their bad manners and park anywhere attitude and annoy the hell out of everyone else. Whats worse though is the fact that everyone looks the same. They seem to wear the same clothes and have the same gormless look on their faces.
Being unique is a rarity nowadays and seems to be becoming a sin. Wear something different or listen to a "weird" kind of music and you get a "Burn him/her at the stake" attitude.
It stems from this need to conform and be classed. We're taught how to in school and are expected to keep it up until we're cold in our graves. I for one was absent when this lesson was taking place. I have never classed myself, I listen to the music I want to listen too, I enjoy the things I do and don't care what people think.
Everybodys different afterall. Everyone likes different things so why are people trying to fit into a mould that is two sizes two small. Its time to stand up and be unique.
So for those who are like me I applaud you. I would certainly have a coffee at Starbucks with you anyday.

A long time ago in a blog far, far away....
Wow has been quite a while since I last posted. Mostly because I was making my posts far too long and it became a chore. So i'm back and better than my already brilliant self (My head just barely fits through doorways now).
So where should I begin.....I think I'll start this new blogging streak with a bunch of twats that fill me with rage. Debt collection agencies. Now i'm not in debt myself but have read countless forums and watched many shows full of people who complain about them (and for good reason). Basically they threaten and depress the people who owe them money. They say they'll get the baliffs to visit you and take your stuff. They say they'll take you to court blah de blah blah. They seem to think people can magic money from out of nowhere. Thats the reason there'll be no credit cards entering my wallet. I won't give them the satisfaction of making me feel like dirt.
I did some research into the powers of a baliff. Suprisingly they seem to have none atall. They can't break into your house, they can't just take your stuff and they can't harass you. If you have one knocking on your door, hes not allowed to force his way in like they'll have you believe. Simply lock doors and windows and give him a pleasent smile and a wave as he turns red.
So don't feel frightened by these big bullies offer them an amount you'll pay every month and they can't really reject. If they harass, put a complaint into trading standards or whatever organisation deals with them. Its time for a revolution. Stand upto them and make your voice heard.
I also can't stand people trying to sell you things. Heres a good exaple of how you should answer the phone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5z4Vs26-TI (The link should work but I had to type it out)
So as they say, POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!

PS3s and 360s - AKA Oranges and Lemons
First post for a while. I've been busy you see. I'll get straight to the point...
I'm on the eve of getting one of the greatest games ever. Metal Gear Solid 4. I won't go into any detail about the game because I can't be bothered to right now. Now alot of people preorder games. Maybe I should have done that and had the game today. But to be honest I'm just not that sad. The only game I've ever really preordered was GTA4 and that's because I knew it would sell out and I would have to wait ages to get it.
So anyway back to my point. In my exciting I've been looking around on the Internet for reviews, videos etc etc and stumbled upon this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3zl2BjDSBk&NR=1
It's not the vid I'm about to moan about its the fanboys who have commented on it. You know the guys who like to post things like "PS3 sucks" or "360 blows". Chances are they haven't even used both consoles before and spend their time searching forums just so they can make their opinion heard.
I bought my PS3 for the simple reason that I wanted one. I weighed up getting a 360 but just liked the PS3 more. I'm not about to argue that the PS3 has better graphics blah de blah blah because really who can see any difference at this moment in time. I'm not going to defend the PS3's online capabilities etc. For me online play is not that big a draw in a game. I much prefer a good single player campaign.
So anyway the fact of the matter is this: Instead of arguing with people and criticising each others consoles, get playing them.
Peace out
