Its like getting too much change in a shop, its a dilemma.. you need to be quick, ‘shall I take the money ?!’ ‘its a big outfit, they can afford it, but then again its stealing,,, but they’re ripping me off anyway’ ‘what to do?!’ of course if you take the cash you’re sure to be arrested, punched to the ground by a surly security guard, jostled by the Police, embarrassing court appearances, losing your job, , house, car, partner, all over 5 pence change... oh take the money .. **** it, thats what OBAMA is saying... you couldn’t really turn down a billion, then about another 4 billion over the pathetic $85 million that the Public Purse is giving him in the US Presidential elections, even though it has made him a liar already... its ******’ hilarious, its all about the ******’ money to these people, he could have done OK with the Public Funds, a million a day will buy you a lot of sincere and annoying TV adverts, but no, that's not enough, he has gone back on his word already, and decided to take the billions offered by contributors to his funds. I would do the same if I were him because I’m not a politician, I’m allowed to lie , cheat, scrabble around in the pool of despair that us ordinary beings have to contend with... I would be piling millions in to offshore bank accounts and buying up Islands of the coast of Panama (are there Islands there - must be ?), go in for a minor operation in some South American hospital, and quietly leave through the back door when no-one’s watching... but that's me !!! not the superhero of American politics, that all the little people have been donating their $25. dollars to, to get rid of the lying inept turd brain that they currently have residing in Capital Hill... c’mon kids if he’s lying now what's he going to do when he gets in ??!! liar liar pans on fire..

I was extremely impressed by The Verve at Glastonbury,,,  not a big fan, but they seem to have turned in to a confident & huge stadium band, and certainly Richard Ashcroft has taken control, I liked the fact that he really sings, and has pushed his voice live and that there was so much space in their sound...  I wish someone would give Mark Ronson a push off the precipice though, this was the most dreadful and 'show-band' load of tripe I've ever heard...  why not go the whole hog and book himself out for weddings..  ******' dreadful, and take Lilly Allen with you, doesn't even know the lyrics to her own hit records..  probably because her Dad wrote it..

its the last day of pushing myself on an unsuspecting Public relentlessly, after all there are much more interesting things going on, like the new 'Green Taxes' Gordon Brown' is imposing so we can pay more for Global warming, deal done, sounds good to me, only I don't have a warming yet, just rain rain rain, so I may be going and kicking Gordon in the goolies, Gordon in the goolies Gordon in the goolies (join in!)

Since finishing college in August last year I've had a very hard time adjusting to the so called real world. I graduated with something most people see as useless (media), though I did it  for the enlightenment and the fact that I like it (education is not all about getting a job, even though some idiots think it is). I got a job four months afterwards but got fired for being crap at it (and probably too tired, early mornings I am not suited to).

I have read a lot about job interviews on the internet, my god some people are incredibly fucking stupid. People not getting hired because they have long hair. Wtf is with that. If I were the interviewer I would hire someone with long hair, actually it wouldn't factor much but not getting hired for it strikes me as being incredibly narrowminded. I wouldn't work for such organizations regardless but that level of stupidity really annoys me (incidentally I was enraged by the way Hurricane Katrina was managed, so stupidity of all sorts really angers me).

What annoys me even more is when people describe it as "thats the way it is, get used to it." I fundamentally disagree that thats the way it is,  its set up by other people and to speak about "the way it is" suggests a certain level of brainwashing and mute acceptance for an unjustified status quo. Theres nothing natural or permanent about the "real world." Its been carefully constructed by the ideology of businessmen (of whom most  are incredibly shortsighted fools---->the waves of corporate crime and environmental disasters attests to this) Speaking for myself I will never conform to this moronic form of thinking of getting my hair cut, nor will I ever blindly accept things as the way they are. The old adage, live by the sword, die by the sword rings inherently true.

It may seem trivial, farcical even to get so worked up about hair length but it indicates a deeper systemic problem with the way society works. I will categorically avoid using introvert and extrovert definitions as people cannot be labeled, as much as we would like to label them. We are complex and multi faceted. However I do believe that  "the real world" favours those who conform, who tolerate the nonsense politics that surround them, who are more likely to obey and keep their heads down.

The problems with the "real world" are multifarious. We work jobs we hate to buy things we don't need. Why get up so early in the morning to go to "sell" things to people. I think the following corporate sectors are useless to society because they contribute nothing positive in a human sense

1. sales
2. advertisements

Now these sectors oil the wheels of capitalism but when I think about it they do nothing other than increase the profits of some faceless company. Pitted against the achievements of art and science its obvious that these two areas are fundamentally useless to humanity's progress.

The second bold pronouncement I will make is that the current system of capitalism is flawed. It is flawed as it elevates market logic to a pedestal which supersedes human interests. The institutional structure of global capitalism means that social issues get pushed aside in pursuit of profit margins or because CEOs/people in positions of power within corporations are unable to act in an ethically correct way due to external pressures eg other corporations/vested interests in the same field.

I believe that a system of monetary exchange is acceptable but it must be harmonized to environmental and social concerns. The pursuit of status and profit should be tempered with an enlightened approach to life, where science and art and the betterment of human society in general takes precedence over business. Hence we don't need viral advertising, at least marketing wouldn't hold such influence over the public mind.

Now I realize that the generation of wealth is important to the stability of society. But WITH (note not under, the language of servitude) the current model of capitalism we are getting nowhere...the reason we get recessions and economic turbulence can be attributed in part to greed and the political quagmires which results from that greed, where questions are ignored, where unjustified power structures aren't challenged, where there is an unspoken agreement to allow "gamblers" on the stock market hedge bets to increase their own personal wealth at the eventual expense of the wider public. Based on the evidence this is what I believe has caused the global credit crunch.

Contrary to what those in positions of power would have us believe, all of us have the power to enact change. The creation of powerful social networks which can hold corporations to accountability, and the politicians who are so enamored with them, would achieve this goal. Unfortunately the divide and conquer strategy is a powerful one. People are increasingly atomized and institutionalized, so much so that they cowed by a sense of self defeat. So a more equal society is unattainable. The problem is you will always have idiots who need to feel they are worth something in the blind pursuit of power and profits.

However, I believe it is possible to mould a more just society, one where people aren't discriminated against the backdrop of engineered uber conservative corporate requirements--->e.g. getting your hair cut. I also believe in that harmonized society which I have already described, if anything alternative societies can work  e.g. The Kibbutz in Israel would suggest that. Its by no means perfect and it has its own flaws, indeed the fact that parents were encouraged not to raise their own children would strike me as being one. And such societies existed in an unforgiving wider meme pool of capitalist societies.

If anything the time for change is now. Lets not let the suits, those who champion conformity, backstabbing, ruthlessness and obedience, take over.

we’re not far off a Guns ‘n’ Roses reunion, to cash in on Axl’s new album, 14 years and $14. million in the making, and who can blame him, I would do exactly the ******’ same, as well as sacking the band a dozen or so times... ******’ bands , you can’t trust them w******, after all look at that Coldplonk band, Chris Martin is ok, the funny dancing, and a bit monkey man and flailing arms at the front of the stage,,, he was looking a bit ‘rock me daddio’ the other night when I saw him at the BBC,.. like yer dad doing the Dad dance, but he is essentially all right even though he is having a homosexual relationship with Ricky Gervais, and Jo Wiley (well a threesome actually-its official you heard it here first)... I was just listening to a bit of that Stone Roses album, you know, the comeback one that sounded like Led Zeppelin without the screamy vocals.. and it did sound really good which got me to thinking that they will almost definitely be back together by this time next years, just in time for the plethora of endless festival appearance opportunities,,, along with the Axl’s & Slashy’s reunion, coz Velvet Revolver’s are finished aren’t they... I should be a Rock writer shouldn’t I, coz I seem to know so mush about what’s going in, the only problem being that I do like music and I wouldn’t be able to slate people’s life’s works, all that creativity and crystal plastic CD covers gone to waste, because it has to be demeaning to be a music critic, all that frustration that they we’re never quite what they wanted to be, always looking on at something they admire, or despise, and even when they admire it, they pretend to despise it, or they just don’t even bother to listen,, the other problem being that their little writing fingers can’t get those plastic cellophane covers off, so tired from all those endless free gigs they have to attend,, soooo tired listening to music, how do they do it ??,,, and (where was I), back to Chris Martin, sack the band and get one of those Elton John hair transplants, or get the curly mop greased down over your big extra cleverly forehead, Ricky would like that... so and on to more reviews, I saw myself unbelievably on Teletext, for those of you out there who may not live in the UK, its a naff and crappy way to buy holidays and things, that is in a really bad place on the TV remote, about 277 on the programmes list, not that anyone looks at it anyway thankfully, and I don’t know how they get hold of it (my CD album), as I never ******’ sent them a copy, but it got the most awful 2 out of 10, which I guess I should be thankful for, when I see what they gave 8 out of 10 to... and when I see they gave Sigur Rusk 5/10, if I was liked I may be doing the wrong thing... but what made me chuckle, and made me realise that they hadn’t opened the cellophane wrap , as, due to the fact (previously mentioned) that they have very poorly tired out little pandy-handy fingers, they compared my album , and yes, get this, to music used in Star Wars, and in the film Never Ending Story,,, that would be bloody all right by me, I WISH ! I would love to get my tracks in those films, so Jenny Pashkova, just because you didn’t even open the wrapper, I know where you are and I am not one of those people who take ignorant journo’s well, I am a little bit Morrissey, a little bit Kray Twins, see ya’ soon ! put that on your rubbish student CV when your trying to find a decent job in the music industry and smoke it, and I’m residing in my palatial palace counting the residuals from ‘Never Ending Story’ nnniiiicccceeeeee... anyway, here’s a 'review' Jen’s, try some writing for a change, and 49 friends on mySpace.cok, what can I say?....
