cover white sky vampire weekend

There is so much good shit out there!!!!!!!!!

Frankie Boyle's Most Offensive Jokes

Why don't I try embedding it properly....

Does anyone else find they have turned into a total retard since the internet became capable of running videos?

Every time I sit down to do work I end up looking up so much shit. If i'm at home it's usually porn, hours and hours of porn. Even if it's in public I end up looking at the most offensive stuff I can find that's not porn.

It is really fucking funny though!

seriously- what am I doing with my life?

That post below- it's pathetic- xfactor/facebook- what's going on? how did I become so disengaged with real life? I did actually recently disable my Facebook profile, just cos it's such an unrimeting time theif and nostalgia fest, and I don't see how any good can come of it.

Just spent two days off sick in bed (like you do?-dont ask), I ventured out today to get some last minute christmas shopping and realised that the town I live in is an ACTUAL shit hole. It has no inspiring features at all. I mean, yea it can be kind of funny to live in a total dump and see the flip side of everything, but also when you step out your door, I think you have to be somewhere that engages you and gives you a sense of "wow" every so often. To me the best cities are those that have great highlights and deep low lights.

This partly stems from having started to read Stuart Murdoch(of belle and sebastian fame)'s Diaries "the celestial cafe" they're ok, pretty bog standard, this happened then this happened the I had this hipster musing about something or other. Well actually I kind of love the hipster musings and they're generally about Glasgow, which is a city that has incredible poverty and scumminess cheek by jowl next to amazing city scapes and architecture and people that have and incredible wit.

Maybe I'm just being moany because I'm sick and tired of having cold wet feet every time I step out of the door because of this god-awful winter we're having. Its not a new realisation to me that I live in a horrible soul-less place that I don't want to remain in any longer than I have to (for professional reasons am stuck here for the next few years) but it's just that sometimes I deal with it better than others. Sigh.

ok so another year, another x-factor final, ended up on this blog and there was a real live comment at the end of the post from last year- so I thought I would go nuts and write another post.

x-factor- matt won- total scandal, he sounds like a cat being strangled.

Hung over today as was on my works christmas night out last night. It was the usual nonsense, I was completely and utterly pished. That's probably the only story worth mentioning. Actually I've just had a flashback of someone snorting coke in the toilet..not one of us, it was one of these christmas functions that you take a table at, have a shit meal and then a disco. So this guy must have been from another company, but I mean- WTF? I'm quite naive I guess but i've never really witnessed that before.

The best bit about it was not having watched x-factor and going on facebook this morning and seeing the massive amount of status updates everyone had posted on it. Gave it a real sense of anticipation when catching up with it on youtube. There were a lot of comments on matt practically cumming in his pants when he was singing with rianna.

Just saw the new coke advert for christmas where santa moves the miniature city around and influences everyone's life...I think they have him mixed up with god?

Welcome to my boring life

Will anyone read this? I decided about ten minutes ago to start blogging and am now suddenly really nervous. Not sure how I'm going to populate this, but hopefully with as much trivia and minutia as possible and aspects of the media that have caught my glare

Trivial story:

Met a seriuosly annoying person the other day. I was at my work, having almost finished having lunch with this very quiet guy I rarely work with and hardly know. However he was sitting alone when I entered the canteen and although I'm genuinely not fussed about eating alone (make no mistake- I'm an extremely self conscious person), I also am not averse to just sitting there for tweny minute talking absolute boring pish to pass the time while shovelling gruel into my mouth.

Anway, he buggered off back to work and then suddenly someone started calling my name, I've only worked in this institution for four months and it's rare for anyone to recognise me. This person happens to be a lot more junior than me, but is very outgoing and friendly and seems a geniunely decent sort of bloke. He asked if I wanted join him and his two friends. Fair enough although I really was getting to the end of my alloted time for lunch. Again I hardly know this guy and didn't know his friends from eve.

So he's like
"how's things"

I was like
"yea alright but I got a lot on this afternoon so I'm just shoving as many carbs into my mouth as possible" (I was having chips [FRIES], vegetable Korma and had [rather disgustingly but also deliciously] sprinkled cheddar chese on top)

a chuckle from the guy I knew

"so you'll fall asleep in a few hours"

came the voice from one of his as yet not introduced friends.

excuse me? who are you and why are you so fucking annoying? what is the thought process behind this? she was potentialy trying to engender some sort of conversation about carbs loading and how you get tired after a bust of energy after simple carbohydrates, but please, just fuck off.

Within the short space of 8 words I entirely have the measure of this person as an annoying opinionated pain in the ass. She's probably doing something fun like being out for dinner with her husband or something right now and I'm at my laptop making a bad job of retelling a boring story that no one will ever read, however I clearly have the moral high ground on this one.

Susan Boyle.

You've just got to love it don't you? After a dissapointing X-factor finale I watched to Subo special, which was OK "I scrub up no to bad you know" and the crying when getting the gold disc being my personal highlights. However the main thing was it led me back to Youtube to watch the initial audition in Glasgow. It gets me every time, her going on about pebbles, the little bitch in the audience that rolls her eyes (fact: this individual has now been vitimised at school becuase of her sneering, poetic justicehttp://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2009/04/27/teenage-girl-in-susan-boyle-video-victim-of-internet-hate-campaign-86908-21311804/) and the looks on people's faces when she starts singing and the line

"I had a dream my life would be so different from this hell I'm living"

Too true Sue
