i am absolutely moved by this:-
Trent writes, "As the climate grows more and more desperate for record labels, their answer to their mostly self-inflicted wounds seems to be to screw the consumer over even more. A couple of examples that quickly come to mind:
* The ABSURD retail pricing of Year Zero in Australia. Shame on you, UMG. Year Zero is selling for $34.99 Australian dollars ($29.10 US). No wonder people steal music. Avril Lavigne's record in the same store was $21.99 ($18.21 US).By the way, when I asked a label rep about this his response was: "It's because we know you have a real core audience that will pay whatever it costs when you put something out - you know, true fans. It's the pop stuff we have to discount to get people to buy."
So... I guess as a reward for being a "true fan" you get ripped off.
He surely is, a man who's death would sadden me...
ah, also, i saw the movie 'snatch' last night, brilliant movie :) has some truly sticking moments!!
i love brad pitt in it! this man is so good in his run down weirdo roles! (e.g:- tyler durden)
for example, the pikeys (brad's people, the gypsies) wanna make a deal with turkish and tommy, and the deal is that they'll have to buy a caravan so that mickey (brad) fights in the upcoming boxing match, the conversation goes like this:-
mickey:-I'll do it for a caravan.
Turkish:-A what?
mickey:- A caravan.
- Top of the range and all that.
turkish:- It was us that wanted a caravan.
Anyway, what's wrong with this one?
mickey:-It's not for me. It's for me ma.
Turkish:-Your what?
All pikeys:-His ma.
they say 'ma' like, erm... 'mare' with a bigger mouthed 'ay'
ok it's bloody funny when you see it :)
oh bollocks!! just hear the sound clip:-
some other quotes:-

Avi: Should I call you Bullet? Tooth?
Bullet Tooth Tony: You can call me Susan if it makes you happy.

etcetra....it's a pretty awesome movie :)
another oscar wilde quote....
that man, was a higher being...
i would even categorize a great friendship as a sort of romance...
why do you want to go through the whole process of getting to know a person so well that you start resenting them and wish you could get some air? e.g:- marriage, thankfully divorce is an option for people to exercise when they see the light...
you can 'grow old together' even without being married, seriously...
it always happens, the best thing to do is...have a good time...don't worry about the future...enjoy, the moment....the subtle, pleasant memories :) even things as simple as "When we used to sit around and do nothing" and "when i was just so happy to go for accounts classes so that i could meet you man" are, fun memories :) it doesn't always have to be super elaborate and full of noise and extra people...
good things always come in small packages....just, enjoy your package and dispose of the wrapper :)
every time we come across a situation where we're like "oh my god this is horrible this is like the end of the world!! how will i live!!" within a month or less, we've moved on...without even trying too hard....out of sight, out of mind...
of course it is kinda horrible to have to look at your unattainable muse everyday though...but guess what, just 'having' a muse is such a good memory :) maybe the memory won't last forever, but you'll remember the good things anyway till whenever you need to...
the future is never horrible, everything terrible comes to an end...it just keeps happening over and over again!! so it's pretty relieving, and amusing..
the only horrible things that are hard to get over are those that happen to the ones you care about...and it takes a lot of time to decide, who you care about actually...there are usually very few, but when they do get hurt, feel depressed...or are in pain...that's when it hurts the most...
all other pain and depression is a selfish one...which can be gotten over in time, or quicker if we set our minds ot it...but the external (happening to others) type? that's what you have to see them get over to be able to deal with yourself :)
title is self explanatory, you gotta stop, holding on so tightly :)
had a kind of religious experience recently....
most religions tell us to renounce worldly possessions, and, religion aside, that's what i agree with most anyway....so why are we all atheists when religion gives us a chance to practice all we truly believe in?
it's hard to explain....just, use religion to your benefit :)
general affection, when received regularly from someone...tends to get taken for granted and looked at with an "ugh, this is so unnecessary!!"
general affection, when not being received, makes the un-receiver want to kill for some of it...
i wish i knew what it felt like to know, that somebody is madly in love with me....
that's one more thing i haven't...erm...'tried' yet...as if it can be tried...experienced...whatever...
bleh...
it so doesn't help knowing that being greedy is all that's depressing me....
i accuse you
you start speaking to justify yourself
you're angry
you start yelling to get that anger off your chest
i say i really like you...
you start speaking for a long time in a diplomatic way something which basically means "i don't, get over it" which handles the situation as well as doesn't make you look evil/bad/cruel..
don't try so hard sweetheart, who said not returning love was cruel?
For you to go and take this
And smash it apart
I’ve gone all this fucking way
To wind up back at…back at the start
Hey!
The closer we think we are
Well, it only got us so far
Now you’ve got anything left to show?
No, no I didn’t think so.
Hey!
The sooner we realize
We cover ourselves with lies
But underneath we’re not so tough
And love is not enough
people always want things in 'common' with their partners, because they don't like to be disagreed with....they want to live with someone with who it's easy to survive because they'll oppose less..
but many relationships, are based, and initiated, by lies...people pretending/trying to like what the other does, just to get in their pants...
(going off topic here...)
because most people just want comfort, comfort they find in the mannerisms of other people who represent images of characters they read about or see in movies and other media...everyone wants little romantic things, flowers, gifts...very frequently spoken 'i love you's, this is what a relationship is based on, constant flow of the same old cheesy communication...stamped 'true love thingies' by mills and boons and such...
(off topic block)
it's all 'games' people play...that's why some people hate their exes,
some remain good friends, you hate because you have finally seen
through them and their little games they played with you during/at the
beginning of your relationship...remember, they were never the only
ones playing games, a game can be played by two....
(off topic block)
they want 'charm', and they get it from, and are attracted to those who, openly throw it around...it's the mating ritual...flaunt your mannerisms...but that doesn't mean other people can't be charming....
they don't understand, the 'charm' is there in everybody, even the wife beater, how he'll often go say 'sorry' with a sad face to his wife and she'll be happy again, because that is what is needed, that's why household abuse marriages also last..we call the women idiots for staying with the guy, but what can you do? they've always been so...they fall for the 'charm', they let the 'i love you's melt them...anybody getting love from someone can be charming, in their own way, to them...
some of us don't have the confidence to be charming in general...what can we do? I'd never know how my 'charm' was being taken, i can't flirt, i can't compliment very well without feeling the need to twist it in a humorous way to avoid the awkwardness which wasn't there but i always expect it to be....
some people's 'charm' is seen in the way they do things...the way they treat others...though like i mentioned earlier, that, is a display...like putting yourself out on sale...appearing helpful, appearing sacrificing, appearing to care a lot...it's for the display...sacrifice never made anyone happy...it's all about selfishness...even if you help some stranger on the road, you're doing it to assure them that there are 'good people like YOU in the world' you count yourself as one of the higher, 'good people'. what, you think everyon else is a mass murderer?
if a guy see's another guy 'helping' a girl pick up her books, and thus getting her attention...he won't be happy about the girl having to go through less inconvenience...he'll be cursing his luck that she didn't drop them near him...or that she didn't have a near death experience near him, which he could save her from to show her how 'charming' and 'brave' he is...
even the decision to not go do the publicly accepted 'right' thing is a hard one, but that won't be noticed....and would be considered negative, because they want everyone to follow the same moralistic ideals as everyone else...but what about your personal decision? they'll call you 'selfish', I'd call you selfish...but i can see now....it's different....i admire a person's ability to stick by their decision...it's yours and only yours to change, don't go with the flow...even if there's no harm in it and it can be done for the sake of doing it DON'T! because you've decided...don't do it, for yourself....because in the end it's you who'll be taking all the decisions of your life and you want to be able to make the hard ones. (this sounds like something inspirational, i hate people who write like this, bleh...)
fuck the masses.
and no im not talking about drugs. do them if you're curious, nothign is 'bad', things are just as 'bad' as you believe them to be. would you believe something without proof? go see for yourself...
im talking about day to day decisions, decisions like 'hey everybody is going to meet at that hang out place, i should go too, jsut tag along'
and
'everyone is asking me to come for this movie with them, doesn't look that great, i wouldn't go for it alone, but everyone seems to be going so what the hell'
what 'what the hell'? stop, depending on people....stop, attaching yourself...they don't need you, YOU need them!! see how horrible that sounds?
if they say they need you, it's only because you provide some kind of 'service', i.e:- being there to borrow money from, to make people laugh, to provide bike services, or you're just there to be a 'listener' to some fuck who thinks you understand him/her....
or somethign like that...
some time ago i was this:- (just about an hour ago)
P P P P P P P P P P >>>>>>>> me :) <<<<<<<<< P P P P P P P P P P
P = people, choots....everyone is a choot...
happily keeping my distance from people, telling myself "yeah man, everyone should be able to do this, a man's depression is only his own, it's a selfish feeling, coming from 'she doesn't love me' and 'nobody likes me' and other 'me' related things, you jsut have to stop being selfish and self centered to be happier"
and right now, im in a
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P>>>>>>> me :(<<<<<<<<<<<< P P P P P P P P P P P
and it's not because of the distance from people, it's because of the distance from her!! bleh...i want her motherfucking bastard argh!! and now my thoughts are "fuck everybody, i want her!! who gives a shit about anything else? i want to have her for myself, i want to be the one to make her happy, of course i want her to be happy, but with me fuckin hell!! nobody matters!! yeah im selfish and that's the only sane feeling in my head right now!!"
all these 'people', they're all dispensable, copies of each other, struggling to be noticed...but she is a weight i can't bear to see, erm, weighed down on herself....she's my weight...this doesn't make general sense..hmmm....
ok im done. and yes sir here's another thing im probably gonna regret writing......
mood swings man mood swings, and it swings like hell.....to make oneself 'happy' by force is some useless shit....
i want somethign that's all mine....
MINE i say!!
i just love 'pure shores', what a song!!!
people tend to judge people by their actions, their words, their attitude towards society, and this is what they deduce:-
good:-
happy
nice to others
helpful
sacrificing
bad:-
angry
selfish
jealous
evil
now, i personally, would feel more comfortable around a person who displayed the 'bad' tagged qualities...because i know that these were the first, real, 'human' feelings felt by humans and have been felt unadulterated and pure...since forever...they're the primitive feelings, which come naturally...which don't have to be 'synthesized', like 'sacrificing', where a person has to make the usual choices of not doing something he/she likes doing for the sake of others...and 'helpful' where a person has to put an extra effort to help another instead of just following their first instinct of..not doing so...
so, feelings considered 'negative' by the general society..are the only 'true' feelings we have, let's just embrace them instead of trying to convince ourselves that "no! this is wrong! i shouldn't feel like this!!" ok, religion aside, give me one good reason why not...
if it feels good, it must be right..,.and if it doesn't kill you, ah well...you missed a nice opportunity to experience yet another new thing...death is probably gonna be quite an adventure, don't fear it so...or it's early oncoming...to die young would be a blessing....
again, it's all about the appearance...and who's 'interesting' and who's not. for a woman, a man, will always be 'interesting' if he looks good (nice face, nice lips, nice eyes, god given stuff), even if the 'interesting' traits have to do with bad hygiene and other typically negative qualities...the world cuts beautiful people a lot of 'slack' just because they're too beautiful to be totally ignored...every other thing is 'hot'
and you know what? every 'beautiful' man knows this perfectly, they know what it's about...someday every beautiful guy should just get hit by something and join the ugly crowd, and see the world change towards them...no longer would everyone call every action of theirs 'adorable' and 'cute'. you see how for beautiful people nothing is truly 'embarrassing'? wear funny clothes, make funny faces, you'll only be loved...because the lips and the eyes only become more 'adorable'.
the world will always cut them slack...tonnes of it...i don't hate beautiful people or the people who love them. the thing is, the beautiful people are using their assets to the fullest, they know EVERYTHING at every time, that's what the human male is all about (even human females, but I've noticed that most females are more of the idiots to keep chasing the males, they get attached, idiots) females, ugh....they believe they're in love....but it's just their eyes enjoying the candy and that's what the love of every other trait builds on...because every flaw becomes 'adorable' because of all the heavy duty 'slack cutting'. i feel sorry for the women, it doesn't make me jealous, but...i wish they'd all see the light...the beautiful people by getting hit by a bus....and their admirers by just, seeing the whole pointlessness of it...the girls always justify things to themselves to make sense of things...
an example:- Hugh Laurie's character 'Gregory house' from the TV show 'House M.D', you think he doesn't know that he has the power to fuck up in a million ways where women are concerned and still keep them after him? imagine a really ugly actor in his place, fat and wrinkly, speaking in the same accent, limping around looking sorry...no, even TV won't allow that...
I'm not saying I'm any better, probably i would lose interest in a lot of people if they got hit by a bus and be like "huh, that's cool, now i have a reason to not like her anymore, good that we're not dating, it would have been a pretty 'ugly' situation" so that's how all of us men suck (mostly men, some women might even convince themselves "i love him!! i "should" stick by him!") so there's the 'should', they don't want to, but they 'should' they tell themselves...how about you just let him go and see the real world's reactions to him now? stupid women...
also, think of some ugly classmate of yours, wanna take him somewhere, you'll hear things like "no man, he looks creepy! he looks scary!! my friends would get freaked out!" at least get to know him fuckers!! and if it's a hot/cute person "ooooh, is he single? even if he isn't!! i'd like to get naughty with him!!"
even for people who don't look too good, or too bad, if they know how to twist their actions and words around women properly...they can do wonders...however fake the twisting may be...slack gets cut...words and faces, the superficial decision makers...all words are fiction, all faces are masks...
ugly girls will never get the love and affection hot/beautiful/cute girls get, even if they are ten time sweeter and lovegiving to the world than their...erm...'competitors'.
so if anyone comes up to a hot girl and says "i like you for reasons other than just your gorgeous body" then you can safely assume that the man has 'built' opinions 'on' the 'she is hot' foundation....
it's all superficial....people don't take bullets for the ugly...
be interesting, be funny, be intelligent...but first of all...be attractive.
too many men fall for the hot sweet girl's clutches...imagine the sweetest girl you know, with the ugliest body/face imaginable, it's ridonkulous! it would be very amusingly hopeless...the combination...
