Jesuth Christ. That's around where I'm looking to live next year too. Live right at Stepney Green right now I do.

This game. Dear god I suck at this game, it's sooo different to the SF I love. I can still do the moves, and I've discovered some fucking badass new maneuvours, but the habits of old SF3 Strategies is soo ingrained into my muscle memory that it's fucking impossible to break. Need to play this with some of you mofos. Preferrably in person =p.

Simone de Beauvoir - The Second Sex. ^This should be of immense interest to anyone who considers the tendancy of a group/ nation/ race/ and even sex, in this case, to label all outsiders as "others" of any importance. It's about the relationship between the two sexes, but it has a lot to offer to this "debate." There is no "ancient British race" as any person lacking a cerebral haemmorrhage will tell you, those that claim themselves to be "British" in heritage are a race of mongrels, just as there are in fact many white skinned Pakistani people, most of whom reside in the northern Himalaya regions of the country. I think it's fairly pathetic to consider someone British within the circumstances of their birth. Being British is a disposition, not a colour. I was born in Pakistan, and lived there for the first seven years of my life. Im twenty now and consider myself fairly British. The difference between me and the people that would show hostility towards me is that I've long learned to abandoned that vain flag waving nationalism; a symptom of nothing but ignorance. When people say that they don't want immigration because they are concerned with the welfare of society, in reality, by this they always mean the benefit of society as they wish it to be maintained or established. Yes, sometimes the hostility towards foreigners may be well founded, most of the time it's gratuitous; but in truth it more or less conceals a desire for self-justification.

I find that having a girlfriend has made my mental faculties deteriorate. Why just this week, during a game of worms the only words spoken for one whole hour were cyclical utterances of "Fuck you buddy," "I'm not your buddy, friend," "I'm not your friend, guy." Day was alright, got the train from London back to Manchester for the week so I can finally do some work, which isn't exactly working out well for me, being as now I actually have time to post on here. Which, in actual fact, I quite miss, since it is so much better being able to impose yourself and your bullshit on people in a situation where physical repercussions are out of the equation =p. What is also not great is not being on facebook for a couple of weeks and then finding a naked picture of yourself on which everyone has commented. ALCOHOL AM PHAIL.

I do what I can.

In all honesty, I feel that Final Fantasy music is better left as digital beeps and clicks emanating from a 16-bit sound chip rather than guitars and whatnot. Every time I hear The Black Mages I feel that the original music has been bastardised in some way: the texture of the sound in the originals is so evocative of the visual style in it's respective game that you can imagine yourself in that world, which, to be fair is what you listen to Final Fantasy music for, being as most of it is too notoriously cheesy to get away with listening to for its own pleasure =p. The analogue, more organic sound of The Black Mages somehow breaks that synaesthetic spell for me. I also don't like their tendancy to superimpose unnecessary "rawk" guitar solos on the music. It sounds cheap.

I read surprisingly little for an English student. Maybe that's just cause I refuse to waste my time reading anything that doesn't come with the highest reccomendation, seeing as I am a freaking slow as hell reader. I need more RAM. Anyway, been reading "Not I" by Samuel Beckett and "The Figure In The Carpet" by Henry James, the former being a load of babble so far, and the latter a pretty damn interesting exploration of the relationship between author and reader and simultaneously between critic and author. Going to read some Nietzche and some Melville over the holidays. Should be bare good. Brah.

This thread is like a petri dish for the propagation of bad taste. Occasionally a spark of intelligent thought and wilful discussion will grow, but it's always out competed by a heaving, frothing tide of nauseating nonsense. In any case, what I'm trying to say is that you, yes you, are nothing but a pestilent pustule of vanity. A cultural cancer. The lowest denomination of society. Hitler. /lol. I might have let myself go a little. So. Totally fucked off that Reading and Leeds are sold out, was looking forward to chillin with some brohemes over summer, and blowing my student loan on a festival built on largely generic musical diarrhoea and brain destroying intoxication. Often a fun combination.

Listening to Idiot Pilot - Strange We Should Meet Here. Pretty interesting/ spastic collection of sounds, really tranquil spacey passages punctuated by all sorts of beeps/clicks and the occasional distorted scream accompanied by various dischords. Good stuff. Also listening to Iron and Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days, which is quite a great listen. Acoustic rock with pretty delecate, almost ethereal vocals, at times beautifully harmonised. Kinda folky too. Approved. Also, listening to Chaosphere again I've just realised how much it makes Obzen seem like a thoroughly mediocre record.

Sleeping pills! Never try typing shit when you've taken sleeping pills! Dear god.

I like to go for length in my duets, but my solos I like to keep short and...clean... I...

Now now mboy, that's rarely a bad thing. Well, it can be a bad thing if you're too drunk to get your mojo working. Nobody likes those depressing nights when you stagger back home and your nightly duties take 30 minutes rather than 3. I think I've said too much. Yes, I think perhaps I have.

Dave Mustaine called me a sweaty punk after a Megadeth show, I'm fairly sure that's as affectionate as he gets, so I'll take it as a compliment... er... Oh yeah, I talked to Imran Khan, who was the captain of the Pakistani cricket team when they won the world cup back in 92... probably others, but I have shit RAM, so it'll take a while for me to remember...T_T.

I'm quite drunk, just got back from Watchmen, was fairly average. Called my lass a few times drunkenly, half bawling down the phone lol, that's gonna make for some embarrassing conversation tomorrow morning. I think I've kinda gone off alcohol...it doesn't seem to have the same effect it used to anymore. Normally I'd be completely incoherent and in hysterics. Now I just get slightly depressed for a while

Shit, we better have lots of alcohol. Although a recently developed side effect of booze is me exposing myself inappropriately. That might be bad if were in the middle of a park, I can't afford to get arrested. -
Dude...your niece is a robot? Awesome. Also, cool tour, the voice was very unexpected. I expected it to contain more americanisms for some reason =p

You lost your virginity when you were 14? Dang

Hmm, I have the same TV as you JonSt.

I don't like shit eaters. Other things: I'm 20 years old as of last Sunday, of course, that in no way should be taken as a measure of my maturity, I'm prone to doing all sorts of stupid things. I've been known to suffer from mild cases of wrath, although this seems to have died down since I got to university, where you occasionally get to deal with intelligent people. Uni is also where I met my...well...spouse, seeing as we did drunkenly get married in front of witnesses =p. The legal documentation is curiously absent though. Anyway, I'm at QMUL uni in London doing an English degree which I'm enjoying very much, even though I'm a lazy fuck and barely do any work. Funnily enough, I moved to this country when I was 7 and barely knew a word of English, lived in various shit towns until I was 11, when I moved to Manchester, and went to Manchester Grammar. I took English, Biology and Chemistry for A level (as well as Art, which I dropped because it was too much fucking work), and got pretty good grades (AAA). I like knowing things. I like to have a fairly broad knowledge of subjects, even though I'm a student of the arts, I take a big interest in Sciences. The fact remains that I'm fairly ignorant of most things though, which I hope to change. Oh yeah! I've been playing guitar for about...6 years now. I like to imagine that I'm a fairly good player, when in actuality I'm a talentless douche . Ok, I'm bored.

Lol, actually I just meant the fact that it was so awful and nonsensical that trying to understand why it existed almost gave me an aneurysm. Yeah, I've heard that MvA is supposed to be good, gonna go see that with the ladyfriend. Will be back with impressions.

Dear god man, it was a joke. I've practically called everyone on here a douchebag at some point. When someone releases a work of art, it's existance in the world is a constant. The only variable in the interaction between that creation and the person consuming it is the person themselves. Of course, I believe in the democracy of interpretation as much as anyone, but the worth of art is measurable to a certain degree. Boundaries do blur, I mean, who is better at their craft, Jeff Buckley, or Nick Drake? That, in my opinion is where subjectivity becomes part of the equation. Bah, whatever. Utterances. All you've said here is pretty much irrelevant. So what if she shouts abuse and claws at her vagina? I'm not interested, unless shouting abuse and the clawing at vagina somehow made it onto the recording for the express purpose of being listened to and consumed as music. You've not actually approached discussion of the music itself. What the fuck is going on here? Why are your "facts" not even remotely justified?
