Don’t Care

Posted by ePlus on 8 November, 2005 at 17:25 pm

In a bizarre twist today at college the discussion of my website came up that it offended some people. Now, time for some quick lessons in blogging and all that with Prof. Google:

Blogging:
A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links. A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person’s life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people. People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger at blogger.com. …

Blog:
Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site.

A public web site where users post informal journals of their thoughts, comments, and philosophies, updated frequently and normally reflecting the views of the blog’s creator.

And so that you won’t think that I was biased in selecting those definitions you can find the other 30+ definitions which Google found to read for yourself.

Now I don’t understand what people have in their heads these days. Since when do I have to watch out what I write on MY website? If what I write here offends people or the images that I produce then they should contact me and bitch about it to me. But as far as I am aware that is all sorted, so kind of old news were being brought up today. People need to move on.

My logic is simple in cases like these were I bitch about something or someone (without actually mentioning who I am bitching about) is that if the reader is offended of what he/she just read, then simply click the X in the top right corner of your browser and never come here again.

You don’t like it don’t read it/view it/hear it. Same scenario applies to cars, movies, porn, you name it - you don’t like it, you switch it off, you drive a different car, you don’t listen to people etc etc.

The funny thing I found in the whole discussion was that my writings are “dictating” – as in I offend people and that it isn’t moderated and all that crap. – But hold on a minute, the definition of a blog is “an online journal”, so the only difference between you writing in your book that person XYZ is a cock and me saying that some person I know is a cock WITHOUT MENTIONING NO NAMES is that my bitching is online were millions of people could access it and view it and yours is hidden under your bed.

As the definitions on Google were saying – a blog is somewhere were the author can express its opinions, thoughts and other things. So I just can’t get over the fact that I should watch out what shit I write. Thought this was a free country I was living in?

And for this rant only I am curious to hear your thoughts on this!

Retarded TV Adverts

Posted by ePlus on 22 May, 2005 at 22:29 pm

I was watching TV the other night and I was amazed at the amount of crap that is on nowadays. There were two adverts though that caught my eye. I couldn’t believe how stupid they are. I could only just slit my wrists and burn, rather than watch these adverts. For example last night I went to watch this movie (Rules of Engagement) which was meant to start at 21:00, that at 21:05 they were still showing adverts. Taking the piss right? I am there waiting for the movie to start, knowing that it will be finished by midnight and I’ll be tired as fuck and they’re showing adverts. Good one assholes.

What’s it going to be?

Only a few days ago I was just having a chat with a friend of mine on the way to our college evening course, and me, as usual, stating my opinion and spilling my thoughts out, I said to him; Whats the point in buying a bottle of water, when you can get it for free in a glass?, to which he replied It is more flexible, you dont have to bother carrying a glass of water with all around college, whereas if you had a bottle it would be a lost easier. Thats what he said, not exactly like that but thats what he meant.

So as we can see someone would rather pay 0.80p for a bottle of water which is only 75cl, equal to five glasses of water. My reply to that was that, why not drink five glasses of water and then you save yourself 0.80p and you wont have to have a bottle to carry around with you. To which he said that you might get thirsty in half an hour. But if you get thirsty you go back down and get yourself another glass of water. Also instead of drinking a bit of water now and then from your precious bottle why not drink it all at the beginning and you should be fine. Of course I havent proved this theory (yet), maybe someone can clarify it for me. If you drink five glasses of still waterfrom the tap, which I think is the equivalent of a 75cl bottle of still water over a period of 30 minutes, if after drinking the five glasses of water you would get thirsty?

Maybe someone can clarify that for me. Seeing as spending 0.80p on a bottle of water when right next to the bottles in the fridge there is a machine which all you have to do put a small plastic glass under it and hold the button in is completely stupid, then I dont know what else to say. There isnt anything else to say. That just proves how snobbish and stupid people are these days. I would rather drink five glasses of water (which for me 2-3 one after another is more than enough to keep me happy for an hour) and save myself 0.80p. But people these days want to be cool and not look cheap. Yep thats what I was told drinking your cheap water?, that was addressed to me when I came on the table from a guy who was drinking water out of a bottle. Well guess what dumbass, I just saved myself 0.80p, so I am 0.80p richer and cleverer than you, idiot.

You can see what he is going to be later on his life. At that intelligence, his IQ level is the same as a potato. I say to him good luck in life, imbecile, well see who makes more money. :D
