Ethics
Take a Picture – On Objects and Souls
Careful everybody, this could be a bit of a bumpy ride.
I’ve been reading up on the objectification in porn arguments again. Some interesting and potentially controversial points show up here, and lead me to here.
So there’s a lot of talk about objectification here. A couple of things that stand out to me are the following:
‘Objectification [...]
Five Questions
We’re back in the meme business temporarily. I found this one the Bit’s blog and was intrigued. The particularly fun one about this is that its different questions. It depends upon what someone else wans to know about you. Feel free to ask for questions below, I shall provide to the best of my ability. [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 51 so far )The World around us consistently remains more Fucked up than we could ever Imagine
Seriously.
Another brief post here. All I want to do is point you in the direction of an article in the Guardian today that I just read and seriously wrecked my faith in humanity.
The world is fucked….and it’s people that are fucking it…again and again.
I am actually kind of hurt by world journalism and the my [...]
News O’ye Worlde – Today I learnt and Thought
…about lots of things. Some have been bubbling under for a while, some have just popped into my head. In an atypical post I shall attempt to deal with real events in the real world…the news.
Yes that’s right. I just read the Guardian…and by lord I’m going to talk about it. Just you wait.
Not long [...]
Tired and Ill but still thinking too much – Lies and Fantasies and Raising Children
So, this is being written while I’ve got something resembling a cold. Also my guts are churning and my head is screwed. I may not be on top form. However, I am also trapped in work and this is the only time I have to use the internet. We are very busy and everybody is [...]

Of course, I didn’t shoot Andy Warhol, at least not in this life.
But I’ll get back to that later.
First, a warning. This is going to be another of my long rambling rambles. I am not going to restrain the free wandering nature of my mind. It is also potentially a very controversial post. I’m going [...]
Variety and Revolution – Why the Recording Industry should just Fuck right off
So….I’m not really expert in these matters…but my tuppence on it is getting bigger and heavier and I really want to get this stuff out. Plus my post yesterday was lamer than a centipede that’s lost all of its legs in a freak yachting accident.
Or something.
Anyway. Basically, I’m optimistic about a big change in the [...]
Computer Abuse – Weird Language
So. I work in an internet cafe/gaming cafe. This means that I get to watch and listen to people getting very excited about computer games. Regular readers will be aware that I enjoy playing games, but to be honest..since I’ve started here I’ve played less. I prefer the solo experience (insert onanism innuendo here) and [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 10 so far )Today I shall mostly be talking about…History – and probably getting it wrong, but who cares.
Before I start I’m going to make it clear that before my blog gets too highbrow (two posts in a row not about being drunk? what are the odds) I will be utilising the words bum, poo and willy as often as possible during the following, rather more serious discussion. I will also probably get [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 13 so far )Ponderous Ramble – What Motivates Me and Makes Me Who Me Are?
So, first up the good bit. I’ve finished my Nano. Well that’s not entirely true. I got to the 50K boundary after which I could call myself a winner. I dived over the cliff and through the finish line with a wonderful woman I have never met called CJ (I know her name but believe [...]

[The following is a transcript of notes made on the second half of a train journey from Brighton to St Albans. I'm gonna be accurate to the feeling of the moment and just write what I wrote in the notepad. However I find it difficult to read my own decrepit and malfunctioning hand writing at [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 11 so far )Capitalism, Bigotry and Beats – What’s Hip Hop really all about?
So, I decided I was going to write something today and couldn’t work out which one of the many that came to mind I should right about. The other two plans involve gender identity and me, and Freud and Bullshit. They will come soon, but right now I’m taking advantage of an opportunity to link [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 11 so far )Saddam must be Hung – Wait a second…Do I think that?
Just a quickie. Basically no. I’m sorry, I know the guy was a bit of an arse (and yes..I’m intentionally underestimating his arseyness here…it’s intentional) but I don’t think he should be killed….punished certainly…for the rest of his life..but not killed. Why the hell does everyone think its fine. Since when did it become the [...]

So this is half silly I know, but only half silly. As I was playing through Half-Life 2: Episode One (which incidentally, was brilliant, the game still looks gorgeous and runs smoothly, expanding the narrative and raising a few questions while not interfering with being a great game…my only gameplay criticism would be that it [...]

As an apology for being so self obssessed, here’s some links to some clever things from our man Drake.
Keep it up Lads, I’d be lost without. Also Check out Subliminal’s article on the Q awards.
This is just to make sure that you are aware that other people exist.
For they do.

Oh, and happy Guy Fawkes Night [...]
