Give a man a microphone and he will sing Karaoke.
Give a man MySpace, and he will become a “musician”.
Give a man DeviantArt, and he will become an “artist”.
Give a man a blog, and he’ll be convinced that he is interesting.

Perhaps certain sites should have criteria that users need to be able to fufill before being allowed to join.  Some kind of talent safety net…

How fucking good were Muse yesterday? SMBH sounds more rocky than funky live, plus previews of the epic spaghetti western/mexican bandit style “Knights of Cydonia” and a more traditional Muse number in the Strokes influenced “Starlight”.  BHaR is gonna rock. Downloads are here…

Random stuff… Kids giving each other moneyshots.  With Water pistols.  What the fuck were the manufacturers thinking?… Yay for baby suits… SLTS on ukuleles with George Formby not in sight… made me laugh (stolen from Smallbrainfield @ B3ta)…

Bought myself one of these and one of these… 1 gig MP3 player for £30… bargain, plus won’t matter when I inevitably drop it…

Had another of those nights that confirmed that I need to get away… stayed soberish, had a laugh, but no offence to my mates (but I fucking hate you all haha :P) but it was just same old… I need change…

Well actually the same blog, different url.

I’ve lost any comments left on the last one, I’ve got them backed up as a feed, but it won’t add them to this blog without adding them as individual posts.  I now look like a virtual hermit instead of just an unpopular fucker haha…

I’ve made a few decisions.  Well kinda.  I don’t want a fixed plan yet, I’m gonna wait and see what finances are like (see below) as well as work load, before arranging anything.

I’m moving back home.  I can afford to live here, but life is too boring and too comfortable.  I’ve been here for a year and a half, and have had a lot of fucked up gatherings and good times, but I feel like I need to move on.  So move on I shall.

I’m going to Thailand sometime this year.  I’m not sure when yet, I’d like to avoid the rainy season, which is July to November.  I also want to see England win the world cup whilst in this country (eternal optimist).  I also want to see Muse and Goldfrapp play.  So I’m guessing sometime in autumn.  Maybe in summer if I get bored.

I don’t really want to go into details yet, but I’m currently facing legal action from a fuck off corporation over the use of an image that’s 200×132 pixels.  I used the image, they asked me to remove it, I promptly did, and they now want £1284 in damages, and threatened over 5K in legals costs.  I should be able to get out of it by offering them a small settlement however, and can fuck them around in the small claims court.  If I didn’t have free legal advice, then I’d be a bit fucked.  (Thanks Lisa x)  They must rake in a fortune by picking on smaller sized companies, and bullying them into paying up.  I’m tempted to replace the image in question with a $1 pic from bigstockphoto.com, and offer them that as compensation.

P.S. Are you missing having Joey in your life?  Scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit refresh, and it’s just like having me in the room.

I’m getting really bored with my life at the mo. I’ve got it easy, I get up when I want, work when I want, and go out and get fucked when I want, yet despite this my life is feeling a bit stagnant.

I could quite easily still be living in this same place in 1/2/3 years time wondering where the last few years went. I’m happy, but my life is too comfortable. I’m getting pissed off with going out and seeing the same people doing the same things; I guess I see myself reflected in them.

There’s a lot of stuff I want to do in life, most of which I won’t be able to do when I eventually have responsibilities.

Being self employed, I can’t really travel for any length of time, but I’m getting really itchy feet at the moment.

I’m thinking along the lines of working hard for a few weeks, then fucking off somewhere non-touristy for 3 weeks, and then repeat.

Thailand springs to mind.

Ooh baby don’t you know I suffer?
Ooh baby can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretences
How long before you let me go?

Oohh you set my soul alight
Oohh you set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
Oohh..
And the superstar sucked into the supermassive
..you set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
Oohh..
And the superstar sucked into the supermassive
..you set my soul alight 

Mix a bit of upbeat disco-ey funk, a Marilyn Manson influenced intro, and wailing vocals and you have the new Muse single.

A Muse track you can dance to.

Who’d have thought it?

(Still kicks ass though)
