| White Riot... |

Anybody catch a little news item over the weekend about riots in Dublin?
Well they took place on my doorstep and they weren't pretty. Rur was caught in the middle of them and fearing for his safety fled onto nearby buses. These buses were the loyalists transport, which they fled onto when the riots began. Jeffrey Donaldson turned to Rur and his friend and said "You're not one of us are ye?" To which they sheepishly shook their heads in unison. Mr Donaldson went on further to welcome them onto the bus and allowed them to ride to safety with them. Mr. Donaldson instructed everyone on the bus that they would probably be attacked as they tried to make their way to the Dail and that nobody was to retaliate or further instigate ire. There was to be no comments, no gestures no acknowledgement of the people outside. He informed them that on arrival at the Dail they would get to march "...maybe ten feet, but we will have made our point". Sounds fair enough to me.
So what can I say to this? There is a problem in this country that needs addressing and it's not necessarily the cross border relations. It's a problem with hooliganism in the streets. It's the issue of correcting youths before they grow up to be misinformed and violent. As far as I could see on Saturday this act of destruction may have been instigated by the "dissident Republicans" that we hear so much about, but they needn't have bothered because society is baying for blood and they will take it under any guise they can. Religion or Patriotism. They're all just excuses to destroy. |

Mad times are upon us.
Global Warming, unofficially prononounced too late to be reversed.
Please be active, be vigilant and conserve energy. Don't waste what can be reused.
It's a time for action of over laziness, it's a time to acknowledge that using a car when not neccesary is murder.
That throwing the latest copy of NME/HEAT/FUNDAY TIMES into a garbage bin and not a recycling bin is murder.
That not recycling your used booze bottles and cans is murder.
It's careless, wasteless & pointless.
It makes you much more of a prat.
It is a greater ignorance than illiteracy and grammatical or syntax error.
And we all know how upsetting that can be.
So just think about it.
Thanks. |

Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to. (would be great if you upload some songs too).
1. Electric Light Orchestra - Yours Truly 2095
2. British Sea Power - Heavenly Waters
3. British Sea Power - Childhood Memories
4. Suede - Stay Together
5. Franz Ferdinand - Evil and a Heathen

I know for alot of you, not living in Ireland it makes no difference. But i would appreciate it, as a friend of mine, if you would sign it anyway in support. It's nothing serious, just an attempt to get some bands playing at something in Ireland in September. It's all explained here
Thank you! |

Work is exhausting and the novelty has worn off, but it's still better than the purgatory I was in previously. Infinitely so.
I feel too tired today to eat lunch in the canteen with everyone else. Too knackered to make conversation, i just want to keep myself to myself. I feel like a grungy casserole dish. I am eating crisp sandwhiches for the first time since 6th class.
Rur got goldfish for his birthday. When I saw them, i thought; "Bad idea. Rur gets attached and goldfish always die"
Now the coolest one is dead. His name was Kerouac and he was blind (hence the name, Kerouac - blind drunk.). He was the weirdest goldfish ever. His eyes were on top of his head and not to the side and for the 1st hour of our acquaintance he scared the heck out of me. He was ugly. But soon that ugliness gave way to charisma. Better than the boring black fish in their uniformity (Gisnberg and Burroughs, naturally.) Kerouac was the life and sole (ho ho) of the fishbowl party.
Now he's dead and we cried alot about it. Then we played the Hopewell song The Fish and dropped him into the river Liffey, so he can swim to London.
RIP my little fishy friend. |

| Ocean Rain Lyrics |
[Aug. 30th, 2005|10:58 am] |
All at sea again
And now my hurricanes have brought down this ocean rain
To bathe me again
My ship`s a sail
Can you hear its tender frame
Screaming from beneath the waves
Screaming from beneath the waves
All hands on deck at dawn
Sailing to sadder shores
Your port in my heavy storms
Harbours the blackest thoughts
I`m at sea again
And now your hurricanes have brought down this ocean rain
To bathe me again
My ship`s a sail
Can you hear its tender frame
Screaming from beneath the waves
Screaming from beneath the waves...
All hands on deck at dawn
Sailing to sadder shores
Your port in my heavy storms
Harbours the blackest thoughts
All hands on deck at dawn
Sailing to sadder shores
Your port in my heavy storms
Harbours the blackest thoughts
All at sea again
And now my hurricanes have brought down this ocean rain
To bathe me again
My ship`s a sail
Hear its tender frame
Screaming from beneath the waves
Screaming from beneath your waves
Screaming from beneath the waves
Screaming from beneath the waves
All hands on deck at dawn
Sailing to sadder shores
Your port in my heavy storms
Harbours the blackest thoughts

So beautiful. So perfect. |

Gah. I was going to spare you all this rant, but seen as most of you just filter me out anyway...
I am so pissed off right now. I stormed home in such a rage i was *this close* to just screaming. I was seriously just waiting for someone to look at me funny or say something so i could explode at them.
I want to leave NOW. Fuck this waiting round. But i realise now, i'll never be happy jobwise, because the only thing i like doing (web design, which ive been doing in work the last 2 weeks pretty much non stop) i cant do.Why?
*Because i get so pissed off when dumb, moronic, non-artistic, inarticulate cuntheads decide they want something that is boring, plain, done and done and done again and again and again and dont listen to me because they think they know better. WELL YOU DONT MR.SHITHEAD! I ACTUALLY KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT SOMETHING FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE AND YOU ARE JUST A CLOSEMINDED, BLIND-SIDED FUCKFACE WHO WOULD PROBABLY LIKE A HORSES ARSE AS YOUR FRONT PAGE IF EVERYONE ELSE WAS DOING IT.
IM SO FUCKING PISSED. |
