I feel like such a mug when I buy a CD, yet can’t copy it onto my fucking computer because it’s copy protected. All I want to do is listen to a CD I’ve legitamately bought and then put it on my MP3. What is their problem? Probably now going to have to download the album now anyway.
Bastard record companies.
Lesson learned (for the 100th time)
Maybe I should just started downloading all the music. At least then I’ll be able to use it.

Comments?
But Formspring is starting to irritate me.
Why do people insist on posting every answer to every question on some social networking site?
Grr.
Reblog if you agree/comment.
To social networking being social?
And why is it, even with x-amount of “friends”, it’s very rare nowadays that anything will be commented on, let alone a conversation coming from it.
People sit at home on facebook playing pointless games inclusive of the word “ville”.
Maybe I’m the odd one, but I miss the days when MSN would be used for conversation with others rather than people posting that they just ate toast.
I can’t wait until we go back to the days before the Internet.
Re-blog if you agree.
“A” is a friend.
“B” is the person they start going out with that you don’t like.
“C” is the person who stops talking to their friend.
Example. “A” starts going out with “B”, “B” is/has been an arsehole, so “C” stops talking to “A”. It is bloody ridiculous.
If “A” is going out with someone who may or may not be good for them, the last thing they need is for so called friends to stop talking to them. What if “A” does start getting hurt again? “A” will need their friends there to support them.
No-one can really help who they like. Friends should accept that, and support them through every choice they make. And be there to pick up the pieces if and when things start going wrong.

As you give him £2 for one small bottle of lucozade, or two if they’re on offer.
He comes back with 1 380ml bottle of lucozade with “not to be sold individually” stamped on the side of it, and only 35p change as he bought some sweets as well. I just gave it back to him in the end.
Most expensive bottle of lucozade I’ve payed for lately, including when I was in London and it cost me £1.35.
Damn my caffeine addiction.

My first thoughts when reading the words “non-fiction”, are big shiny hardback books, with lots of pictures and that I wouldn’t normally choose to read, unless there was nothing else to do.
However, the actual meaning of “non-fiction” is true. So for my choice, this is what comes under the category of “A non-fictional book”.
I choose “A Child Called It”, because although parts of it are probably works of fiction, it is based on a true story.
The first time I read it, I had a tear or two in my eye.
It makes me sad that anyone could treat any living thing like that, let alone a child.
What’s even worse is it still happens. And I don’t think we will ever be able to fully stop child abuse. What I hate is that the people that get the blame are the social services, as opposed to the “parents” inflicting such torment on their own children.
Social services will always be persecuted, whether they remove a child from their parents care, they will get accused of removing a child from their natural environment and tearing apart a family. Yet if they let the child remain there and abuse happens, social services will be the ones blamed for not removing the child sooner.
I hate this world.
Jealousy achieves nothing in the long run. There is also no point in persuing those you are jealous of unless something might come out of it.
Jealousy over friends shouldn’t happen, there’s no need to be jealous of anyone. Everyone has the potential to be in the same situation.
Jealousy in the relationship sense…There are plenty of fish in the sea. If the person’s screwed you over once, they can easily do it again.
Think long and hard about these things. Question every part of any descision you make to make sure it is the best one.
Side-note, thanks to all my new stalkers followers! I will reply to all my messages later when I get a chance, they just keep flooding in. It’s nice to know that you’re all so interested in my blog. :) I’ve got work now though. Have a good day everyone!
A couple of unstructured thoughts…
Humans can be so selfish. Though we may appear to put others before ourselves, in reality a lot of things we do might be for our own reasons, hidden to the human eye.
Maybe losing people is for the better. Does it really matter if you see someone as much as you used to providing that they’re happy where they are?
Why do some overanalyse everything in their life, and others not at all? How can only few people get that balance right?
Who are we to decide on who is good looking or not? How do we even know? Where did it all originate from? It’s all bullshit when it comes down to it.
How is it that people can say they love you when they don’t even know you?
What’s the point?
I volunteer for the Youth Offending Service, to try and stop kids re-offending, yet look at those around me. What’s the fucking point if I can’t stop people I actually know and care about from breaking the law and doing stupid things, trying to coach random kids and make them behave.
How is it fair that people will try and take their own lives, yet there are millions more fighting for the right to stay alive, fighting horrible illnesses, and would kill to be able to have the choice of avoiding the inevitable.
What the fuck is up with giving people asthma, yet those who choose to smoke and destroy their lungs most of the time will get off, scot free. Does a kid have a choice if their parents smoke and they are forced to inhale second hand smoke?
As highlighted in a group I recently joined on Facebook, why it is people get paid more for kicking a ball around get paid more than those who risk their lives and fight for their country. I don’t agree with war, don’t get me wrong. But still, without soldiers our country would be screwed, and we’d have no way of defending ourselves. Same as soldiers should be treated with more respect if they’re injured whilst on the front line, not getting some pathetic compensation payout and tossed aside, whereas people will sue companies and win for something as stupid as tripping over as they weren’t looking where they were going and get more money.
People will have paranoia and other mental health issues, and will wish for the world to take it all away, yet knowing the consequences others will still destroy their physical and mental health with drugs.
Basically, have some fucking respect for yourselves and those around you.
There’s something very wrong with this world. Something I think every day.
Download have announced all their headliners then.
Not sure I’m feeling Rage Against The Machine as a headliner though.
Saying that, My Chemical Romance headlined in 2007. Enough said really.
after posting a slight rant…Although I think you should actually at least read everything before forming an opinion.
Saying that, if anyone disagrees with what I’m saying, feel free to reblog and add your comments. I look forward to hearing them. :)
So, the topic for today is gay marriage. This has stemmed from having these notifications appearing on my facebook stream every other minute.
“Such and such plus this many others have joined the group 1,000,000 for gay marriage/1,000,000 against gay marriage”
I personally have nothing against two people of the same gender being together, however I’m still not entirely sure how I feel on the subject of gay marriage. On one hand, there’s no difference. It’s just two people, sharing their love. However, when it comes to marriage under the religion of Christianity, I don’t think two people of the same gender should be married. When it specifically states in the bible, under King James Version: Leviticus Chapter 20 (correct me if I’m wrong, I’m referencing it from here):
“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”
Which leads me to wonder why someone of a homosexual nature would follow the Christian Faith, and wish to be married under it, when Christianity condemns it (although with lee-way for women). ** Edit ** I would have no problem with it, I just don’t understand why people would wish to be married under a religion that condemns it. Just to state, I am not, I repeat, NOT homophobic. ** Edit ** Although at the end of the day, I don’t think I know anyone who follows their religion to the book. Religion is just really categorising people with a similar set of beliefs, allowing them to meet up and share those beliefs with each other. Although that’s for another rant, another time.
There’s nothing stopping homosexuals from starting their own religion even, allowing gay marriage. This I would have no problem with at all. It could even make the world a better, more open minded place.
I don’t understand why anyone can have a problem with homosexuals. At the end of the day, it’s leaving them with less competition, to some extent helps to control the world’s ever increasing population. I mean, this could go the complete opposite, and we could even end up dying out (highly unlikely, but still). And that would be the day the earth cheered, and everything (if anything) left behind could florish, until the next world disaster species evolved. And seriously; if everyone was bisexual the world would be a much better place. More choice and all that, without the worry of chatting someone up and them not being interested as they like the opposite gender (this applying both ways).
At the end of the day, I think civil partnership all the way. Marriage has lost its meaning, and as a friend of mine once said:
“Marriage is just a bit of paper”.- Fu
Which it is. I don’t see how you can prove your love for someone more than cheering them up when they are sad, being there to hold them when they cry, kissing them and disappearing into a void where nothing really matters anymore, creating a child, spending the rest of your lives together /something which is going to turn very soppy.
Another point, I personally would rather not see two people of the same gender being affectionate. Now, does this make me homophobic? If you let me finish my point, you’ll realise I have the same opinion regardless of gender and sexuality. I’m not a fan of public displays of affection. It makes me very uncomfortable. Maybe I’m hetrophobic too? At the end of the day though, all I have to do is avert my eyes and all is sorted.
I may come back to this later, but I’ve semi-lost my flow.
If you’ve made it this far, I’m amazed. And I’d like to hear all your views on the matter.

I overslept for work today.
I just forgot to set my alarm. I guess I must have assumed it was already set. Big mistake. Annoying, unlike usual, my house has been completely silent and for once no-one came to wake me up earlier than I needed to be. The one day that I didn’t set my alarm.
I feel I’m repeating myself already.
Even having a shower hasn’t washed away the feeling of guilt that I let my work down today.
I did call up the second I woke up, apologising profusely, asking them if they wanted me to come in and cover breaks. I’m so glad my manager is such a nice person. As apparently they’re really quiet today so wouldn’t have needed me anyway. So score I guess, day off. Not that I wanted it. Especially as apparently I’m not in again until Tuesday. Mind you, means I can go out I guess. And escape this horrible world we call “The Internet”. Even worse, “Social Networking Sites”. I’d say they’re one of the least social places on earth.
Now to go wallow in how appalled I am at myself. Or else torture myself further into creating a new layout that works in all browsers. I was actually dreaming about CSS code the other night.
Bad times, bad times.
I hate you so much Facebook.
You take everyone’s free time up, for the sole purpose of waiting to see if anyone will comment on their generic Facebook status update, their generic Facebook photo or spamming people with invitations to countless pointless groups.
People become addicted to you.
I, thankfully, am not addicted to you.
I could quite easily use other sites to upload a blog to, and upload photos to.
What’s the point, however, when everyone else remains on here and will not look at aforementioned photos or blogs.
One day, Facebook will get boring. What it will be replaced with, who knows. Live webcam feeds maybe? Like a huge big brother. Everyone making video podcasts to each other. Jesus that would get annoying even quicker.
I can’t wait until you die, and see what else this sometimes horrible thing called the Internet has left to throw at us.
Over and out.
Just seems to be used as lightly as people would update their status on Twitter or Facebook.
Maybe I’m not in the right place. I just think Tumblr suits the needs of posting a blog better than for example Wordpress, which doesn’t allow customisable themes.
I don’t know. I know I’m going to probably post excessively on this for a few days, then get a little bored and just post once daily or something, but still.
Maybe I’m just following the wrong people.
I just can’t wait for my list to start.
