People who review us and give a history lesson in which 90% of the facts are wrong - just review the fucking music...
I remember studying First World War poetry in English at school, there was one (I think by Wilfred Owen?) about some guy who got killed and was a bit of a dick and died as a result of his own stupidity but his commanding officer still had to write to his family about what a great soldier he was

Facebook generally. I hate the fact all these dicks from school who I didn't even speak to at the time can (and occasionally do) get in touch with me and have even the slightest awareness that I'm alive. I'd rather I wasn't aware that they were living tbh. Plus my voyeuristic streak means I occasionally have a swatch at some of their photographs, reminding me why I hated school in the first instance. And the fact that everyone from there seems to be in some version of their wee groups from 7 years ago as well makes me balk.
I think I'm going to have to delete my account.

You think this sort of thing is bad, I know someone right now with a terminal illness who already has a facebook memorial and he isn't even dead yet. A friend pointed out to me though that in a way he has kind of defied existential law by seeing what people will say about him after his death BEFORE HIS DEATH.

haha that's tragic.
continuing the existentialist theme - i'm sure somehow or other starting your own memorial is the ultimate expression of living in bad faith. if sartre were alive today he'd probably have to write a new edition of being and nothingness just to include this example

They did and it was number 666 - they have them sat waiting, just add the date and go to press.

Life in general.
I'm really losing my patience with this bullshit. Eating, breathing, sleeping, working constantly... for nothing much but maybe some clothes from a retail store, a facebook page, and a Wii if you're lucky.

I'm about to stab my lab professors one by one.*
I was joking about the Wii, though.
*I feel like that most of the time when I have to get out of bed before noon, though.

I get random intrusive stab thoughts alot. I passed Boris Johnson (mayor of London, he's a horrible toad) on the street the other day and my first thought - it happened in my head so fast, it was almost a primal instinct - was 'Shit, I don't have a knife'.
I told my in-laws that yesterday. I don't think it was good over-the-table-at-Sunday-dinner conversation though.

This is basically why my brother wants to join the RAF. Too much X-Box, innit.
Imagine if we invented the technology to allow us to send remotely controlled androids out into battle. A generation of pot-smokers and social misfits will become some of the greatest war generals that have ever lived. Then again, it is probably this very fantasy that is largely responsible for the video game industry overtaking both the music and movie industry in profits.
