I wouldn't willingly choose to live anywhere else, unless there were a tropical beach involved somehow.
Too much education and crazy lefty politics have left me stuck in a twilight zone of endless meetings, ernest discussions, momentary adreneline surges, binge drinking, and shouting at the television.
This is unfortunate, as all I'd really like to do is lay in bed with the cat, the sun streaming through an open window, grinning like a fuckin idiot.
I don't like hippies, and believe pimpin vegan trainers and a lacoste jumper are steps on the true path to social revolution.
Think 'Dual Power' as written by Sergio Taccinni.
I'm irrationally angry cause capitalism took my football team away.
I'm also a northern pie-eating monkey, apparently.
Contrary to popular expectation, I'm not a commie.
Music
Don't even get me started on this.
Movies
Finally found a DVD copy of Psychomania.
That should do me for the next couple of months [years].
Television
Books
I have more books than anyone really needs.
I recently discovered that Byron's Don Juan is really funny. No, really. His shirts were a bit 'flock of seagulls', though.
Fear and Loathing in World Football, Gary Armstrong and Richard Giulianotti (eds)
makes me very happy.
I value kindness to human beings first of all, and kindness to animals. I don't respect the law; I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and old men and women warmer in the winter, and happier in the summer.
-- Brendan Behan
"Peter Kropotkin described Anarchism as the extreme left wing of socialism - a view with which I completely agree. One of my deepest concerns today is that the libertarian socialist core will be eroded by fashionable, post- modernist, spiritualist, mystic individualism."
Would you care to view the ruins of my good intentions?
