Let it be known officially that '21 Unread Messages' is a portent of terrible things to come.

Easter eggs! In the past used to represent the rock rollowing away from Christ's tomb, they formed an entertaining pastime for children across the world; they would be painted, decorated, and rolled down the hill. Fun for all the family.

But NO LONGER!

New research, taken from the Easter egg traditions of today, indicates that Christ did in fact eat his way out of the tomb. Made out of chocolate.

...

Stupid commerce. Made worse by the fact I like Easter eggs.

They put angels in the electric chair
The electric chair, the electric chair
Straight up angels in the electric chair
The electric chair, the electric chair

They put angels in the electric chair
The electric chair, the electric chair
Straight up angels in the electric chair
The electric chair, the electric chair

And no one knew or no one cared
But burning stars lit up their hair
And burning stars lit up their hair
And crawled to heaven on golden stairs

And oh, how we to and fro
To and fro, to and fro
Oh, how we to and fro
To and fro, to and fro

Oh, how we to and fro
To and fro, to and fro
Oh, how we to and fro
To and fro, to and fro

This our torched estates
We're your sweet mistakes

And all them vulgar kings on their dirty thrones
Who among us will avenge Ms. Nina Simone?
And all them vulgar kings on their dirty thrones
Who among us will avenge Ms. Nina Simone?

There's fresh meat in the club tonight
God bless our dead marines
Someone had an accident above the burning tree
While somewhere distant, peacefully
Our vulgar leaders sleep
Dead kids don't get photographed
God bless our dead marines

The hungry and the hanged
the damaged and the done
striving 'long this spinning rock
tumbling past the sun

Lost a friend to cocaine
Couple friends to smack
Troubled hearts map deserts
And they rarely do come back
Lost a friend to oceans
Lost a friend to hills
Lost a friend to suicide
Lost a friend to pills
Lost a friend to monsters
Lost a friend to shame
Lost a friend to marriage
Lost a friend to blame
Lost a friend to worry
And lost a friend to wealth
Lost a friend to stubborn pride
And then I lost myself

I love my dog and she loves me
The world's a mess and so are we
She tumbles long green, muddy fields
Sick with joy and glee
And as she dreams sweet puppy dreams
Whimpering gently

There's fresh meat in the club tonight
God bless our dead marines
Someone had an accident above the burning trees
Well, somewhere distant, peacefully
the vulgar princes sleep
Dead kids don't get photographed
God bless this century

When the world is sick
Can no one be well?
But I dreamt we were so beautiful and strong

When the world is sick
Can no one be well?
But I dreamt we were so beautiful and strong

When the world is sick
Can no one be well?
But I dreamt we were so beautiful and strong

We dance to the sound of sirens...

Mario, we need to talk. Times have changed; I don't know who you are these days.

It's the mushrooms, Mario. You take them and then claim that you've killed Gwoombas, fought Boo and defeated the Hammer Bros. I can only put two and two together, Mario!

It's that brother of yours, isn't it? Wait, don't answer that. I already know the answer.

Toadstool's the dealer. I'm sure of it.

Go get Bowsered, Mario. And don't come crying to me when the mushrooms wear off.

The Infantryman's Creed

2006-01-16T21:43:44Z

This is my rifle.
There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend.
It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
My rifle, without me, is useless.
Without my rifle, I am useless.
I must fire my rifle true.
I must shoot straighter than my enemy,
who is trying to kill me.
I must shoot him before he shoots me.
I will.

My rifle and myself know that what counts in war,
is not the rounds of fire,
the noise of our burst,
nor the smoke we make.
We know it is the hits that count.
We will hit.

My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life.
Thus, I will learn it as a brother.
I will learn its weaknesses,
its strengths,
its parts,
its accessories,
its sights and its barrel.
I will ever guard it against
the ravages of weather and damage.
I will keep my rifle clean and ready,
even as I am clean and ready.
We will become part of each other.
We will.

Before God I swear this creed.
My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country.
We are the masters of our enemy.
We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until there is no enemy,
but Peace.

Pushin' the law again
Pushin' the law again

Justice with a sword
Our smiling knight on board
Opening his heart to everyone
And loving without a doubt
Embarrassing friends and
embarrassing foes,
And those who were unjust
A man true to his heart
without fear or misgivings
With "insecurity" tattooed
across his body
The first to accept, the last to disappoint
He understood all and expected nothing

Now you are free
Free to roam the skies
Now and then visit me
With your starlit eyes

You took all our hearts
With your smile,
And left a legacy untold
You conquered life and fear,
So you see there was no room for you to grow old

Oh no, my precious LJ is ruined.

Say, here's a thought. Thinking back to Signs, I noticed a few key errors in their plotline:

A race of extremely intelligent aliens, who just so happen to happen to be vulnerable to water invade the earth. Which is over half water. Naked.

Great plan, aliens.

Also, they've mastered space travel, and appear to have incredibly advanced technology. So why, when it comes to a locked door, they're like: "Oh crap, rethink the master Earth domination plan we spent years perfecting!"

WHY CAN'T YOU MAKE ONE GOOD ALIEN MOVIE! WHY?

Pride and Prejudice - Best. Film/book. Ever.

Watch/read it now, it's better than you.

See also: your ass getting kicked by me and, to whit, Sokth/MT - my only active friend on LJ. So now that it isn't 'cool', the rest of you stop updating? Strewth; you sicken me. In fact, scrap sicken - add mildly nauseate. What DOES sicken me is arrogant children.

I work with them 4 hours a week. And why are they arrogant? 'Cause their mistakes are excused. Their grammatical blows are softened dramatically. Leading them to what? Believing mistakes are acceptable.

A B-A-D T-H-I-N-G!

So I take pleasure in announcing that they don't have '13 corrections' to do. Oh no, you have 13 MISTAKES my small foolish friend. MISTAKES!

I need a walking stick and a shotgun.

I feel like a bit of a shout-off.

I work for a company that teaches academically failing children English and Maths - no problem there. It costs a fair amount to send your child there - again, no problem there.

But a certain 'boss' of mine upsets this perfect balance. Not only does she maintain a superior nature to her workers; but she always tells the children exactly what they want to hear. Every single time.

She says to a particuarly ignorant child: "It's alright, you've just slipped up a little. If you correct your mistakes, you can show your parents that you've got 100%"

NO! Tell him he's failed, like he has (that particular youngling got something along the lines of 56%) and make him work harder! Gosh, it sickens me. And THEN, what's it telling them, for later life?

That you can 'change' exam results? That you're 'above' others?

They're going to go far. Incidentally, a fat people's aerobic club meets afterwards, in the same workplace. They dance to fast-beat music on an oversized Boom Box, sweat like whales, etc. Nauseating, but necessary.

And yet, they are still lazy. One of them attempts to help me pack the tables away in the between-period. Then, she leaves it at the door, telling me to take it the rest of the way.

Perhaps, you clinically obese bitch, you'd lose more weighjt if you put EFFORT into things, rather than sitting your oversized ass, moving occasionally to cram food into your constantly-used maw - and, AND! Once in a while going to a pointless aerobics class where you achieve nothing, because you're fat.

Score one for obesity.

On a plus point, I actually slept last night. A rarity indeed.

Slave To The Wage

2005-08-28T12:59:19Z

FUCKERS! FUCKERS! FUCKERS!

Back from a pleasant enough holiday in the Scottish Highlands. I expected a half naked Jacobite to swing a battleaxe at me at any given moment.

It didn't happen.

However, what did happen was my pursuit. As in, me being followed by Oddbins. For all those who don't know, Oddbins is a wine merchants...alledgedly. I, on the other hand, know the truth. BUT YOU CAN'T FUCKING HANDLE IT!

Or, you can. Either way, they stalked me in their ominous van; white, streaked with their makeshift logo and slogan, always just that small distance behind me. Essentially, it was just for an hour. But still, to keep up with my virtues:

A pox on you, Oddbins!

Waiting for people, talking to the walls.

A man weeps
through a tear
in your transfixed eyes
Constant,
but tell him everything
everything
before it's too early
and you're late.

Shock, pain
and no regrets
write it on sand
blow it away

Spread your wings
and make a fist
and fly

Toodles.

2005-07-17T20:47:01Z

To save confusion, any mood I ever place in this LJ is selected at random. Literally, (as I detest the frequent overuse of that word), at random. I pick one off the list.

Today's happens to be 'Pissed Off' - Adequate.

Recent update: I hate old people more than ever, but do respect the impressive amount of bitching that happens behind the crumbling walls of our forgotten senior citizens.

Today's old people home, for example, failed to break any stereotypes:

. Cloying, masking scent emerging from building: true.
. Dementia and paranoia on a high level: true.
. Senility: true.
. Patronisation: evident.
. Idiotic people: present.

*Sigh* - Call me judging if you like, but stereotypes are there for a fucking reason. For instance, the common chav. Emphasis on the common.

. They wear cheap, (or overpriced) sportswear.
. They are abusive, antisocial and angry.
. They are stupid.
. Their friendship system is based on aesthetics, and owning things.

Now, I label someone a Chav if they do these things. I usually get a response along the lines of one of those crap sayings like 'Don't judge a book by it's cover.'

NO! I look at the inside, and label the cover. The inside, is that they are retards, and don't understand the core principles of co-operative existence. True fact.

So, I see someone with all that sports gear on, strutting down the street. I instantly think, or say, 'Chav!'. It stands to this reason:

The chances of them being a Chav are far greater than that of them being a misunderstood, mistreated or unwell human.

Now doesn't it make sense to call someone the former, instead of jumping to 'nice' conclusions? Be real. Chavs are chavs, deal with it.
