Sounds like the term "terrorist attack" is slipping into the annals of urban mythology. Right after El Nino and others.

Meeks: Highly respected sources smack donkeys on the ass and enjoy getting hooves to the head.

Angst is my middle name, baby.

In Melbourne. Just broke up with boyfriend. Weather is shit sometimes, good other times. I am feeling good.

In London, having a decent time, there's a new influx of women at the college. But I have bad faith, I think I should just punch myself in the nuts.

Saw "short cuts" by Robert Altman, good movie, if a person liked Magnolia then you should check it out. Damn good. short on money.

toodles.

Sorry I haven't been posting - I've been away for a few days. I feel really weird and shit about things. I will write more later, so stay tuned for my angst.

I'm already in UK right now and yes it was a bit tense to fly over the middle east. Tense in the sense of flying with no pretense puts me in a tremense. spooopy. Gimme a call if it tickles your fancy, upon reaching London, I'm low on cash, but we might be able to cook up an encounter.

nah, in the grand scale of things, the uproar of losing a job - hundreds even - is small, but if I thought in the grand scale of things all the time, I'd feel pretty insignificant, like "cog in the machine". My theory goes that: People have their lives, and they have the lives they read about. What people read, watch - absorb - is essentially fiction. They retain this information differently than if they experienced it first or second hand, obviously.

A plane crashes into the world trade centre in America, but did a plane crash into the Putre World trade centre or even into Suria KLCC, where my mom works? No, and for that reason the disaster cannot personally offend, insense me to the fullest. On a level, personal sympathy can be converted into political sensitivity which is why it is easier for someone to involved himself with a country even if it isn't his native country - a person NEEDS a country or countries to affiliate with, well not really, but it helps the process of self-identification in fact it could ultimately be harmful or sadistic to affiliate with a country (although Azrael in Dogma comes to mind). I can actually be quite objective about it, so that allows me to think about it in broad terms and connecting threads of information without the need for biased premises like "Arabs are terrorists".

It's a media frenzy though, crises like this put power into people's hand to manipulate the flow of information by misinforming. Whether a person actually stood in the world trade center WHILE it was being bombed or not is irrelevant, the fact that he told the story will undoubtely provoke sympathy and that is what the story will be trying to capture. Fiction in its purest form, from the horse's mouth, be it flogged dead or not.

It's shit, death sucks. We suffer we love with the fullest of emotion in the end. We die. But it's the beautiful existence that makes it worth it and that's the crime - asserting the choice of life or death on thousands of people - that is the most unforgivable and outspoken thing that should be realised out of this disaster.

There have been threats all over the world, shit, nowhere is safe! I was thinking the same thing, Vin ... I don't think the terrorists, whoever they were, do not want to piss off their Muslim brothers at this stage in the proceedings. But let's be real here. Whoever did it, for whatever cause, is fucked. F.U.C.K.E.D. You don't piss off the richest and best armed nation in the world, and then think you're going to get away with it. You'd have to be absolutely fucked in the head. No one can save them now.

I have severe information overload. It is getting really hard for me to not talk in cliches. I haven't been on the 'net more in the past year than I was this week. I have barely slept, and what sleep I have been taking I've been doing during the day. I'm 20 years old (21 in a month) and I'm afraid of the dark again - I have to keep a night light on! I have cable here, so I am getting cbs, nbc, abc and cnn 24 hours a day. Regular programming has been non existent during the week on Australian TV. Tonight, they showed The Simpsons, and I breathed a sigh of relief because shit. I need something to make me laugh.

One of Australia's major airlines closed this week, and there were protests in the city by the people who have lost their jobs. I want to say to them "hey, you can get another job, thousands of people just fucking died you idiots, we are living in a world where the possiblity of all out world war is more real than it has been in a long time." It's hard to keep things in persepective, I don't know what's more important. I've barely gone to uni this week (apart from polisci lectures and tutes), because I've either been too tired or numb or ... I don't know. Too many people have been touched. I think I can safely say that this is the single most abhorrent act I've seen in my life. I don't think there are many people who can say different.

Oh, and I think I'm guilty of using the words 'cock' and 'juice' in the same sentence.

Vin - hilarious.

Strange, a person reached our site through the following search:

going+to+war.

On the same token, people have also recently (within the past few days) reached our site by searching through the following:

naked+backstreet+boys
cock+juice
blackest+magic+leave+my+soul+give+my+angels+all+control


The world is fucked up in more ways than one.

About Vinny's disturbing picture: That's the clown from "IT", so "not caring" puts me into a position that makes me feel like the clown from "IT". The clown scared the pants off me, especially when I covered my eyes at the beginning of the film and my friend told me that he had ripped off the little boys arms.

I have set up a temporary blog with links to some articles from around the internet:

The World Has GONE MAD!

A teaser. Mmm. Hitler's missing testicle. What a plan.

Sorry, feeling very weird. Have been so busy lately. Am doing uni/working and trying to negotiate a new relationship. Have also been listening to an unecessary amount of Madonna. The new album, not the old stuff. It's my 21st birthday in a few weeks. A terrifying age.

This is a teaser for a comic book that I'm sure people would have fun reading, I haven't read it myself:
"Adventures of the Rifle Brigade: Operation Bollock #1 (of 3)
High adventure meets low comedy as the Rifle Brigade returns in a new and even more outrageous adventure! Hitler's missing testicle, imbued with occult powers, has resurfaced and it's up to Captain Darcy and his men to retrieve it."
