Redefining intoxication. Like did you know if you drink until you throw up and repeat the cycle there's a point until you throw up your bile acids/salts?
Alcohol abuse aside being philosophical about things that are meaningless and nonsensical also floats my boat. So i guess at the end of the day I'm a bum which somehow has permenent accomodation and doesn't reek of piss.
Or not yet anyway
Music
The most recent unhealthy obsession at the moment would easily be a Mayday Parade. Aren't they the most profound lyrics to come out in like a jillion years? If there was ever a definite example of lyrics which didn't always rhyme but had so much poetry and meaning to it you would only have to look as far as A Lesson in Romantics. Like have you heard Jersey? Fucking Jersey just colder and i'll have you know i'm scared to death that everything you had said to me was just a lie until you left. and they can also forsee the future. cause how many times have you thought "Why'd you have to go? Is there something i can say to make you turn around?" and isn't all you ever want was to walk with him/her home and save the sad song for the sing-a-long?
Yeah Mayday Parade is pretty fucking sweet
Movies
The Dark Knight. It is easily easily the best movie in the past 10 years and will probably be the best movie this decade. Why? Because the dark knight was the first batman movie to show the complex character and that that most of the conflicts of life are rarely ever simple and easy. and even if things are simple they're still never easy. the dark night also incorporated political and sociollogical ideals such as the joker's nihilist approach to society.
most important of all it shows us what sort of person batman is. in essence, batman isn't a nice person. he's consumed with bitterness and anger and oh so much hatred. however from that afformentioned anger, hatred and bitterness he is able to choose what is morally right despite living in a city where everything can be somewhat distingushed as morally grey.
this is what differentiates batman from pretty much every other superhero INCLUDING spiderman who is a fucking pussy at best and has no complexity to the human aspect of his life.
this is what also seperates batman from superman however that is not to say superman isn't important. superman is and forever will forever be earth's hero despite coming from another planet. he is in essence a good person and his moral compass always points the right way. this is why the workings and ideology behind superman and batman are never mutually exclusive because superman has shown batman that justice doesn't always have to come from darkness.
Television
It saddens me to say this but Gordon Ramsay sucks. He was cool back in the boiling point days, when he actually cooked in his own fucking restaurant. He was an actual head chef. Now he just opens up as many fucking restaurants as he can, write a generic menu and hires an executive chef to do his bidding. Kind of like McDonald's.
His lattest restaurant, Gordon's Plane Food at heathrow is the most unsubstantial pretentious crap you would ever expect from a supposed fine dining establishment. The menu consists of normal bland terminal food due to post-9/11 airport security laws but that being said its still bland airport/7-11 food but its served on a 12inch plate so its apparently better...
Now you might be thinking "William calm the fuck down, he's shows are good and thats what's important." Thats only half true. Boiling Point and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares actually revolve around food and you get to see the inner workings of a restaurant. When the restaurant isn't up to scratch he offers constructive criticism on why the menu is sub standard. This was shown where he taught La Parra that cooking on a plancher grill is inferior to individual non-stick pans and at The Granary where dishes with 12 ingredients is overkill because the flavours in the dish become homogenised.
Kitchen Nightmares (USA) and similarly Hell's Kitchen however involves Gordon berating everyone. A dish would come out for him to assess and the all he will say is "This looks like dog shit." Like for fucks sake, thats really going to improve the business. You would think a chef with 3 michelin stars, would be able to break down a dish and comment on its deficiencies with more eloquence then "this looks like dog shit."
Fucking Gordon Ramsay, your such a douche. Like's whats next am i going to see him plastered on the side of a pepsi bottle?

GRAVITY! No I'm not referring to the piece of shit song from John Mayer, nor the piece of shit brand of coffee. I am paying homage to the scientific phenomenon/revolution which dates back to 4th century BC. With lack of better words I think what makes gravity fucking amazing is that in 4th century BC some dude figured out cause vs. effect; a physical and ideological concept that many seem to forget and in some cases are completely foreign to.
However the most profound aspect of gravity, which I think is truly a defining point in humanity, is that it's a classical case which blends empirical evidence with faith. Like call it presumptuous but I'm pretty sure Aristotle did not have libraries of literature pertaining to quantum mechanics to back himself up i.e. he was an observer of nature and devised a theory based on a hunch or faith if you will.
Einstein describes gravity and consequently relativity (also another important physical and sociological phenomenon) as "the happiest thought of my life" and rightfully so. Although highly speculative I am willing to assume often enough people forget that seeing isn't always believing. With that in mind despite the fact the world has gone topsy turvy with exploding iphones and global environmental catastrophes and "blog" being a socially acceptable and normal word people forget about the resilient nature of humanity possibly because it isn't always evident.
That is, whilst its easy and often enough correct to define humanity as a collection of biological statistics and our current lack of ability to live harmoniously with the natural world, at the same time humanity can also be represented as the collective that deduced antibiotics stems from mould and the collective that pushes their anatomical/biological limits to a level which can only be described as cirque du solei. And during such developments there would've been countless unrecognised individuals, who wake up singing sentimental overtures
When I think about gravity, it isn't necessarily the happiest thought of my life, but it does keep me grounded/down to Earth ..
Who I'd like to meet: Neil Buchanan. Why you ask?! Because he's fucking awesome in a glory of glitter PVA and poster/acrylic paint. When our art teachers were numpties he taught us how to draw trees and texture them by adding whispy lines with a felt tip pen. He also taught us the magical art of paper mache and how not to paint with water colours in a daft manner. And who could forget those big art attacks, there was Queen Lizzy made of $250K worth of $5 bills. And the fucking bike made of traffic cones and the wheels fucking moved! Neil Buchanan also was instrumental in starting the new wave of British Metal. So remember kids, this is an art attack.....this is an art attack....THIS IS ART ATTACK [ie. fuck sparta]
On second thought, who ever achieved brilliant ingenuity by allowing the man to push them through the "correct avenue"?! Get F Tails! And besides, it's fair ye Melbourne, are we not kids of the alleys and lane ways?!
yeah man this weekend me and me mates hitting the town for me bday. strippers (bar 20) then bang if ya keen beforehand get to pakenham lakeside bbq in a park and getting fuck eyed feel free to hit it up man lol
We had one last night at Inflation. God Module + DJ's playing. It was fun. ^_^ Tho, I was broke and had to go home early, as my alcohol was wearing off and making me tired. poop. You should have come to Earth Dance last weekend, that was mega fun! :D
Not ignoring, DEFYING! Not “lacking recognition”, DEFYING! Acknowledging and DEFYING! If you would like to live your life in the finite box of self and otherwise imposed limitations, then go right ahead, but even the Veronicas actually are against you on this. They acknowledge that everything was f-ed up straight from the start, they pointed out that we have “gotta pick myself up” and then drew attention to the inner revolution. Asymptote away my friend, but I’m exponentially expanding!
When I was talking about defiance, I mentioned defying death but this was only a side plot. Think about this carefully. Are we really motivated by the goal of PEACE with the physical / natural world? Or are we motivated by DEFIANCE? From crib to coffin, we are constantly reminded of our social, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and physical limitations. You are female, you may not become a CEO. The Lion King makes you cry, you are too weak. You are too short, you may not be a flight attendant. You are too smart, you will never be popular. You are not smart enough, you won’t get into uni. You don’t pray / believe in god, you are going to hell. You don’t spell god’s name with a capital letter, you are going to hell (again?). Etc etc etc. Blah blah blah. On and on it goes. And one of the biggest limitations is “You Are Only Human” aka you can’t achieve perfection or the impossible. Shakespeare said “To be human is to err”, and this condition of being human, being imperfect, of being bound to our worldly limitations. Gravity is a physical limitation. And we are defying it. We are sticking it to the Man, the Man Einstein and the Man Aristotle and the Man Shakespeare! Because we CAN make gravity go upwards and sideways when they told us we can’t. Rock and Roll Mother F*****s! It’s not a socialist quest for harmony, it’s a deviant quest for Anarchy in the you, k?!
So while i agree wholeheartedly that the natural world is glorious and beautiful, it is those who defy the limitations assumed as inherent which achieve these "great heights' we speak of.
yes think about how crazy those fabulous circus freaks who dare to DEFY gravity must be, there is nothing like knowing that if you fall you will get hurt and possible even die to get the glitter pumping = D
Dude thank you so much on behalf of the whole band we really do appreciate that...but no there really isn't anyway to get pop but were thinking about setting it up to buy online real soon
Anytime good sir! Thanks for the offer we'll see where my travels take me and as for you guys if you are ever back in town feel free to hit me up for a place to crash as well.
hahaha yes it is a dirty word!!! speaking of dirt, the more i think about it the more i am convinced that worms are probably smarter than most humans, and i think Charlie D would agree
