Sideblaggin'

So a bit out of the ordinary today, I'm posting another blog, not for any real reason...

It's a quiet night here in Pitlochry, well.. i say quiet, currently the door is creaking and I can hear the faint noise coming from the TV in my parents lounge, oh and lets not forget the rapid typing noises coming from this keyboard.

I've recently started to wonder if i'm living in the correct time. Fair enough, I know about computers, I use my mp3 player religiously, but there's some things you just can't beat. Like the feel of vinyl records, or the sound, I don't like TV (nor do I watch it), I much prefer reading (which will bring me onto my next point very shortly), and generally, the culture of today is... well odd. Reality TV, really is not my cup of tea, I don't wait for the next instalment of Big Brother, Strictly come dancing or any of this reality TV lark.

As for my next point... people seem to be getting dumber and dumber. You know, I mean we have all this amazing technology and yet computers have turned into basically four figure wank machines. Instead of talking, they text, or instant message, no punctuation, no grammar: LOL this and LMFAO that. You know, it just seems to me it's just a bunch of stupid people pseudo-communicating with a bunch of other stupid people at a proto-language that resembles more what cavemen used to speak than the Queen's English.

Ok, fair enough, I'll admit right now, I've used "LOL" to death when IM'ing, it's quicker, but from this moment on, I promise to Stop using "LOL" and any other abbreviation. Oh and as a side note for my would be readers, I always type text messages out in full English, grammar included!

As for Wikipedia, and everyone who "trusts" it to be the worlds most accurate source of information.. all I can say is "Wikipedia, must be accurate then!" (Please note the Sarcasim!)

They say that everything is connected to everything. The butterfly effect. You drop a pebble into a pond and the ripples radiate outward, affecting everything. I sometimes question this, how can we possibly say that me drinking this nice, ice cold Heiniken (it's my b'day weekend, i'm allowed to break the rule especially for it!) will have some significant impact on my life?

As for other random thoughts.. currently contemplating getting my first tattoo, we shall see...

Anyway, enough of my ranting! Have fun folks :)
