Sometimes id like to
Go to bed with a
Hundred women or men and
Lose my mind in
Lust and drink and to
Hit some people into feeling good
I found it on an old letter from a friend, I like it.
OLD TaPeS
I've recently been finding plastic drawer for holding audio tapes in. I've got heaps, I like to listen to them occasionally, especially the mix tapes I made for parties. Some tracks are shockers, but some are great. Eventually when I get a proper computer up and running ill try and download, illegally of course, some of the really cool stuff that I taped off the radio or lost the records I taped them from. But even then ill probably do the hoarder thing and stick the tapes in boxes, eventually to be confuse my nephews and nieces and then thrown out or sold to a museum when I die.

I've been getting into the Monday night sbs shows. I got into Skins straight away, sorta caught bits and pieces of Sinchronicity and towards the end liked it a lot, and got into the later series of Shameless. Good escapism, bloody funny and strangely captivating

And the lord spake unto the philosopher, ‘I am the lord thy god, and I am the source of all that is good. Why does thy secular moral philosophy ignore me?’
And the philosopher spake unto the lord, ‘To answer I must first ask you some questions. You command us to do what is good. But is it good because you command it, or do you command it because it is good?’
‘Its good because I command it’ said the lord.
‘The wrong answer, surely, your mightiness! If the good is only good because you say it is so, then you could, if you wished, make it so that torturing infants was good. But that would be absurd, wouldn’t it?’
‘Of course!’ replieth the lord. ‘I tested thee and thou hast made me pleased. What was the other choice again?’
‘You choose what is good because it is good because it is good. But that shows quite clearly that goodness does not depend on you at all. So we don’t need to study god to study the good.’
‘Even so,’ spake the lord, ‘You’ve got to admit I’ve written some pretty good textbooks on the subject…..’

i gotta not watch Rom-Com films on a saturday night.
im tired from a week of work, i end up seeing a bit of it and are too buggered to change the channel, so i watch the rest as a no-brainer. at the end of the happy happy film im depressed cos im single, it sux. i gotta watch an action/scifi film cos then my brain starts working and i go nutty on theories and ideas for an hour or 2, and i get that weird kid like mindset after the film like i was in the film
fuck rom-coms, only time im gunna watch them is if im with a girl cos then if its shit ill just get frisky and we got an excuse to turn of the the tv.
i am so alone
