Well, currently I'm sitting at home... 10pm on a Saturday night. all my friends are a party that i wasn't invited to. Not that I'm complaining of course (the host and I don't get along) but it's left me with nothing else to do apart from rant on on a website for the eyes of strangers.
I was out last night... Had an interesting experience with alcohol and people. Was interesting.
And I'm out tomorrow: another friend of mine is gigging with his band in Glasgow.

But for now...
I.
Am.
Bored.

And I've found that it is generally in boredom that people are most productive.
As for me - I write songs, drink soda water, type random events of my life, and even plan out my future life.
But that's for another entry, perhaps.

What spurred me to write this entry was the film "The Day After Tomorrow" which is airing on the tellybox as i type. Makes me think:
American film-makers are rather defeatist...

I can't rememeber the last happy hollywood movie i saw in which the plot did not involve a major disaster or the death of a high-ranking member of society.
Now, that's not to say they're bad... I just think a film about the happy events in life(that isn't as predictable as a chick flick, or as absurd as a RomCom) would be nice.

But maybe I'm just being far too picky. I should probably go to find a film with said requirements and go back to drinking my soda water.

Sure, I TRY and take this basic question places... but it never works. Now... and here's the thing... WHY does this not work?

Is this simple question just a habitual action of the fingers typed straight after some form of greeting? Or do we truly mean to ask how someone is feeling at that moment in time.

Do they do it in other countries??
(Foreigner 1: "Bonjour"
Foreigner 2: "Salut, ca va?"
Foreigner 1: "Oui... ca va."
Foreigner 1: "Et toi?"
Foreigner 2: "Oui, ca va."
...
-Forgeiner 2 has signed off-)

Do we do it even in senility??
(Old Man: "Hello there good friend. How are you?"
Old Woman: "I... ummm... what?")

Do they do it in other spiritual realms, where not only their existance is debatable, but how they are??
(Guardian to Pearly gates of Heaven: "Yes... yes... you have done a great number of good deeds... but... one more thing... How are you?")
--[The above does not insinuate that I am a believer in Heaven, God or Christianity, nor is it meant to be offensive, k?]--

OK, so maybe the last one was a bit over-the-top, but you see what I mean: There doesn't seem to be much of a point in asking a question that gets us nowhere in conversation. If I ask someone how they are... I'm not expecting a disseration on their current mood and how it is affected by such variables as events of the day and how other people have been treating them... but an ATTEMPT at conversation would be very much appreciated.

Another thing that annoys me on online messenger services in particular, is when someone says they will "be right back"(or more commonly "brb" which comes up as a colourful little picture that I think is supposed to look like a door sign of some sort), and never... really... come back. However, along with the whole "Why did you add me if you never talk to me" thing, that is a different rant altogether.

Anyway... the whole point in having my own blog is so I can talk about me. Call me self-centered, but I don't care XD

I watched High School Musical and had face mask on in the company of three girls last night.
It was... a... unique.. experience.
They said: "It'd be good for your skin" but i doubted that very much. It was green...

D-Days for Prelims come soon... How fun.

And on the subject of school... AAAAAAAAAARGH!!!
Stupid people who think we don't care and we do and i hate the way trhey speak to us; just because their older and know more doesn't mean they need to make it CLEAR.

urgh...

and don't even ask about the so-called "love life".

but hey... I've got really great friends and they're awesome and that makes me feel a bit better.
Actually, they're all having excellent ideas and I'm like: "woah... calm it... where are all these bursts of brilliance coming from?"

hah XD

New Year... and I'm getting increasingly popular o_O
Which is alien to me. But hey... XD

First week back at school, too. Sure there are more important things in the world than my school and my Higher education(Prelims in a week... wooo...!), but ho-hum. It's really all I can say... cause I'm really tired.

So... umm... =D

Hello again.

(To be honest, that's all I have to say... but I'm gonna keep typing useless stuff to make it at least LOOK as though i'm interesting)

We're approaching the end of 2006; I'm going up to Dundee for New Year; the new FinChap album is getting closer and closer to being released...
I think it's safe to say life is good =D

But let's just time-out for a second and consider a few things:
James Brown, godfather of soul and musical genius, died at around 7am on Christmas morning. Last footage of him up and around, was three days before his death, promoting toys to put smiles on children's faces. He kept going until the end - The best way to go. He will be sorely missed.
Although Christmas/New Year is a time for giving and peace and happiness... It wont stop those megalomanic B-things(seven letters, taboo... use the imagination =D) up top from making profit out of it, at any cost. As Julian Casablancas of The Strokes bluntly put it through his lyrics to "Ize of the World":
"A desk to organize,
A product to advertize,
A market to monopolize,
Movie stars to idolize..."
How dangerously close we are to:
"Weapons to synchronize,
Cities to vapouri-"

Sure, it's not particularly happy, but it's a warning. In simpler terms, watch out.

Anyway, I'm off to prepare to end 2006 in style. See yous.

But this friend of mine couldn't see how "XD" looked like a person laughing...
So, I have to find another way to express myself?

Well, I do have an alternative... one I do use quite often, but more for actions... *(insert-action-here)*

Please tell me other people can see it, and i'm not just smiling in the dark.

Christmas is just under six hours away, though the weather tries to contradict it. Then the New Year arrives merely six days after that. Makes me think, so it does. Makes me think about all the nice people(and all the really horrible people, i suppose) that I've met in the past year and a half. I've definetly changed, and I know I always have this moment of reflection; happens every two months or so, ut at least I know that I can look back and see how I've changed. Unlike some...

I don't really have a target for the New Year as of yet, and I don't know if i can think of one that I would definetly follow through. At least, not without the aid of some mistletoe and a person willing enough to stand under it with me

I've never expressed myself in writing like this before. I have Hibbie to thank for the idea: it definetly helps.

A Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night =D
