Alienated in an Alien Nation

Turns out this place does have an internet connection. What is very annoying is the keyboard because for the 1st time ever I have to use shift to enter a full stop.

Anyway, like I said it is unlikely I will have a Music Monday post this week, so, sorry. If I do then fantastic. If not, you’ve been warned.

I have to say that this has overall been a pretty crappy holiday. Not only did we get lost on the way to our campsite, but when we got here the cli,at was almost unbearably warm. Then the bomb was dropped. My girlfriend, the fucking reason I came to this craphole has decided that I’m not worth waiting for. We’ve been together for nine months, two weeks away from each other and she doesn’t care about me. Life’s a bitch, eh?

GOD I HATE THIS STUPID KEYBOARD!!!

Anyway, I’ll be back to regular posting come wednesday hopefully. That’s the day I fly back so I don’t know if I’ll make it home in time. If I don’t then I’ll post late on Thursday. Deal? Good. Not like you have a choice anyway.

The Kindness of Strangers

Read this first.

Before I heard about this, I must admit I’d become quite disillusioned with humanity in general. All you see in the news is people harming each other, people losing their jobs rather than their bosses travel business class as opposed to first class. Then this happens.

Can’t we all just get along?

I’m going to give an advance warning here. I’ll be picking on Americans a LOT in this post. Mainly because, when it comes to politics you are without a doubt the loudest group of people ever.

Music Monday #2: Imperative Reaction – As We Fall

This will be my last Music Monday for a while. By that I mean there will be no Music Monday post next Monday, the logistics of organising one will be too difficult. Instead, next week, will be a regular type post for Monday. If I can get one written before this Wednesday. Anyway on with a song.

A pounding head and a splitting headache.

This is just going to be one of those days. I can already tell. As a result, I apologise for what I’m about to write. It’s going to be moaning and bitching for a couple of hundred words. I’ll make it up to you somehow.

First off, I’d like to apologise for not having anything worthwhile to post today. No rhetoric about the human condition or condemning some moron. I’m in no mood to post anything that requires an excessive amount of thought, and probably in no condition to either. So instead I shall instead alert you to a few things which have been bugging me lately, and I’d like to just get it all out in the open.

For those of you who don’t know, I’m somniphobic (google it). This basically means getting to sleep is a real issue for me and leads to me getting four hours sleep in three days. I’m kind of stuck in a pit of excessive aggressiveness and irritation when this happens, torn between complaining about how little sleep of gotten, and being really tired (pretty much what I’m doing now) and yet being totally unwilling to actually go to sleep to do anything about it. It’s a wonder people can put up with me at all when I get like this.

Now, over the past week things have been getting pretty bad. I’m totally and utterly broke, and the lovely people I live with are threatening to kick me out. Something about being a “bad influence”. Basically, my younger brother had the proverbial “one too many” and made a mess of his carpet, and somehow it’s my fault, even though I always come back earlier than him and in a sober condition. Life’s a bitch eh? Combined with another spurt of nightmares and creepy dreams which come and go I’m in a pretty rough spot.

I guess it says something about me when I open up to the internet and not to actual human beings in person. Anyway, onto stuff you probably give a crap about.

I will be going to France next week and won’t be coming back until the 1st of July. Never fear though, I’ll have some posts prepped and ready to be auto-posted while I’m away. The usual days, Monday-Wednesday-Friday. So you’ll still get your dose of my wit and groaning. As soon as I come back I should have some nice stories to tell you.

I’ve also resolved to write a novel. Originally I wanted to do a graphic novel or webcomic, but my art skills are signifigantly below par, so a novel will have to do for now. I’ll let you know more as it comes.

And that’s it. To make up for the sub-par and somewhat depressing post, I present a man with inhuman dancing skills.
