Okay

Why is it that things can be terrifically easy, as long as we get rid of other people.
As soon as other people are added into the equation everything becomes much harder and suddenly requires much more information.
However I feel compelled to keep a select few in my life as they tend to also make my life worthwhile. Life should not be as contradictory, however I'm beginning to believe that it's these quirks to life that cause me to be relentless in my relenting.
One day I shall figure life out, the question will be where to go from there. However, I suppose by that point I shall have the answer.

An Angry Marty

'Jessica Hopper leveled the charge that the "third wave" era of emo was sexist. Hopper argued that where bands such as Jawbox, Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate had characterized women in such a way that they were not "exclusively defined by their absence or lensed through romantic-specter",[24] contemporary bands approached relationship issues by "damning the girl on the other side ... its woman-induced misery has gone from being descriptive to being prescriptive". Regarding the position of women listening to emo, Hopper went on to note that the music had become "just another forum where women were locked in a stasis of outside observation, observing ourselves through the eyes of others".'

This small piece of text that I just read angered me. It really did.
I find it rather stupid aswell. I mean, how did this person get the impression that women were being view in a different manner in this wave of emo? I'm sorry, but all waves of emo have sung of the depression associated with the loss of a loved one (whether that be death or dump-age). I fail to see how this third wave of emo differs from the rest in that respect.
Talk like this is what truly scares me. The fact that people are complaining (I'll skim over the fact that it's a woman complaining about apparent sexism, because the rant could go on for longer than any human could cope with) about something which they clearly don't understand and in a context that fails to be in any way relevant.
One aspect that I have long loved about the rock fringes of society is that sex is not a factor. Both sexes can get along and enjoy everything without sex ever being a barrier.
But, as ever, people seem to believe that they need to comment on something that dearly doesn't require it. But that appears to be human nature, to meddle where it isn't needed.

Random musings

Each day passes rather incosequentially, and the thought of 'Why bother getting up today?' crosses my mind most days.
And only just have I ralised that the answer is very simple, if the day doesn't pass inconsequentially, then there will be consequences to face.
Sorry, I know that isn't important, nor interesting, but |I found it terribly stupid and I feel like something must have to change there, otherwise I will certainly have something to say to Marx!

Anyway, I just payed £4 to watch three comedians, and it was atrocious!
I was astounded by the poor quality! I got back and my friend had left me a message on the ever faithful Facebook, and that had me in stitches! The question must be raised, why the hell should I spend money on watching strange older men saying things that they may find witty, but in their own comedic form of pretentiousness find funny? When I could just talk to my brilliant friends?

I spend most of my learning time nower day transfering chemicals from one area to another, it seems awfully futile, I just can't do this day after day without getting a little bit down.

Welcome

So, Welcome to my Blog! This is actually my 5th site to date, and I doubt it will be the last.

As to it's content, well, we'll see what comes up. I assume it will involve; Scientific updates, Philosophical musings and regular daily mickey-takes.

Anyway, I wont take up anymore of your oh-so-precious time here, but I'm sure I'll take up my fair share in the future.

Bye de byes!
