Patience is a Virtue
Afros are cool, ask anyone and they'll agree that Afros are probably the coolest of all Hairstyles. Some of that probably contributes to how Black people are probably the coolest race on the planet and how people with Afros are usually Dancing Machines or Badass Street Vigilantes. (Or occasionally a Samurai Warrior)
Anyway I bring this up because like very few "White" people I am able to grow a very bushy and thick Afro. The only problem is, I lack the patience and perseverance to. There is a half way stage that you get to where you just look stupid, hell Stephen K Amos can describe this better than I can.
Yes even Stephen K Amos who is obviously himself in the shit part of growing an afro... And he does look like a Twat. I mean Really.... Who would want to have like that for months. Then again I've never actually ever seen Stephen with Shorter or Longer Hair.
Damn

Coffee: The Wonder Drug
Now I've always been very wary of Coffee, I'm a very energetic person and usually tire people out with my natural hyperactivity. So I've always denied myself the pleasures of a casual coffee drinking lifestyle. I've had a coffee here and there, now that I think about it I've probably only ever had like 20 or so cups of Coffee in my lifetime. Usually I drink Tea or Milo. (Yeah so what I drink Milo? Come at me Bro!)
But I've been hearing about all these health benefits about drinking Coffee, sure I've heard all the great health benefits associated with drinking Tea but looking at it now I think I've had it all wrong.
Alright the important information I got from that video made by the Awesome C.G.P Grey is that Coffee.
- Increase Concentration
- Decrease Fatigue
- Increase Memory
THAT'S WAY BETTER THAN TEA!
Even though you may develop a physical addiction to Caffeine, it realises Dopamine and boosts your Brain Power. So the usual grumpy withdrawal heavy coffee drinkers get is actually considered normal behaviour... Considering Caffeine is a easily obtainable drug. Its not just in Coffee, it's even in Soft Drinks like Coke-a-Cola and Mountain Dew.
Although with the boosted concentration and blood flow, there have been urban legends of people over dosing on Coffee. As mentioned in the video you'd need to drink a whole lot of coffee to even get a reasonable chance of over dosing on the stuff. However that does remind me of one of my favourite short films called 60 cups of coffee.
As brilliant as that short film is, I still hold the Futurama episode "Three Hundred Big Boys" as the true measurement of coffee over-consumption. The episode had a simple subplot where Fry would attempt to drink 100 Cups of Coffee in One Day.
I honestly love Futurama, if I was a better writer or just smarter in general I'd be writing story arcs for that show... They'd probably get rejected because the current writers on the show now are freaking geniuses.

Being Con-ventional
My my Dragon Con looks like a ton of fun, look at those cos-players, some of those outfits were just crazy! I was considering saving up to go to Comic-Con next year but Dragon-Con looks like the place to go if you're into Cosplay.
Did I mention I went to Animania last weekend? Was a weird yet awesome experience, saw some great costumes, bought some cool stuff and witnessed some real interesting things... Like a Persona 4 Live Skit. (Which is honestly something I thought I'd never see in my lifetime)
Conventions these days are basically an excuse to wear that ridiculous costume you bought for Halloween years ago again. Or if you're really deprived of attention, you go out of your way to make a ridiculously ostentatious lifelike replica of your favourite video game, comic book, anime or cartoon character.
Quite frankly, being a big attention whore like myself I LOOOOOVE conventions. I love the booths, I love the costumes, I love the obscure merchandise that are sold and I love the people there. Just a massive collection of like minded nerds that come together and celebrate their nerdy devotion with other like minded peers. Its a wonderful feeling of freedom dressing like a jerk and bonding immediately with complete strangers over it.
People are all smiles and go up and take photos with one another. Its Awesome. I honestly want to go to Dragon-Con or Comic-Con that much more now, especially since I went to Animania dressed as Justice from Afro Samurai.
Look at that Attention Whore Go. On a side note I'm pretty sure I was black listed from the Dance Floor after I decided it would be awesome to throw my prop toy guns into the air without considering who or where they would land on...
Yep... Asshole

Daytona Days - Story in Progress
A short story I am working on lately, it was conceived a while ago when the local arcade plaza in the local mall closed down. How I'll miss you Warringah Mall Galaxy World.
------------
He sat silently on the stoop of the upstairs shopping centre. A tear trickled down his cheek. His sanctuary, his escape from the torment of everyday life was now a boarded up memory. His closed his eyes and remembered the joy…
X Months / Years ago
His alarm rang differently on Saturday’s; it was a more pleasant welcoming tone… 10 in the morning and the sun was out, as usual. He sat up abruptly and eagerly jumped out of bed.
His Saturday mornings were always the same, a big smile on his face as he got dressed, ate breakfast and picked up the small black bag in the back of his closet. He had perfected his Saturday morning routine to the point where he was out of bed and out the door in 10 minutes.
Traffic was particularly light today and he rolled into his usual spot earlier than usual; he was 3 quarters of the way through his Saturday morning play list but he sat in the car in the parking lot to enjoy the rest to ensure that it was exactly 10:35 sharp when he stepped out of his car. He had a routine to follow; he could not deviate from the course.
He meandered through the food court and ordered the usual at the Café, Mark the same Barista that greeted him every Saturday morning already had his Usual Extra Large Hot Chocolate ready and waiting on the counter. He smiled with satisfaction and generously tipped the Barista. Mark discretely collected the tip and gave a smile and a nod of approval back; this had become a weekly ceremony for him and had established a speechless interaction with Mark at the Café. Mark never asked for his name, he just knew him as a busy man with far too much on his mind.
He boarded the escalator leading to the upstairs part of the shopping centre, his body floated with a burning feeling of anticipation. The Hot Chocolate tasted particularly sweet today as the flashing lights of ‘Galaxy World’ came into view. He closed his eyes as he stepped off the escalator and guided himself through the busy Arcade. He walked past the buzzing noises and whaling prize sirens, past the scream of joy and surprise from the children, past the button mashing carnage of the Tekken and Capcom fighting games and the drumming of gunfire from Time Crisis. He knew it all too well, like the back of his hands and then he stopped walking. He opened his eyes and there she was…
Daytona USA, the Greatest Arcade Game in existence. The flashing excitement of track demos flashing across the screen. The rocking whaling theme to the surprisingly comfortable driver seats, he was in Heaven. He reached into his Black Bag and pulled out a small black blanket, he delicately laid it over the seat and He sat down in his usual number 3 driver stall. He sat there for a long time and just let ran his hands down and around the steering wheel.
As he broke from his mediative state he was awaken with a rude surprise. He had been religiously playing Daytona for months now and had seemingly mastered the game but today everything changed… There was a different name at the top of the Ranking Board. JLB, his track time sat in second position on the Intermediate Track Record list… Behind a new name, MOE with a track time 7 full seconds better than his own. A strange wave of confusion and anger washed over him as he sat wide eyed in disbelief.
END OF PART 1
Dance Battles are a Real Thing?
Probably the most famous scene from Step 3D was the amazing Water Dance Fight against those Asian Gymnasts. But I always though the idea of a Gang Dance Fight was reserved only for ridiculous underdog dance movies about redemption and a second chance at "life". Later I find out that these things actually exist and the real dancers are much better at these showy dance moves than the pseudo actors casted in these Step Up Movies.
Some of the moves preformed in the below video are just insane, a GOD DAM DOUBLE BACKFLIP... HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!?!
Super Human is what I would call it, because the idea that someone can literally break gravity like that and then be able to spin on their heads while supporting all their weight on one arm just seems Unreal and Godly to me.
Whoever said Dancing is for girls didn't have a clue...

Money is a Fair-Weather Friend.
God Damn Floyd 'Money' Mayweather, What is this shit?
There honestly is something wrong with Boxing today if people are just going to take big boxing match endings like this? What the fuck do you mean that was legal? Either that asshole whispered something so God awful it can't be repeated on Television before 11:30 at night or... and this is a big 'or'.... That Dude apologised for trying to headbutt him.
Something is up with Boxing because that was something straight out of the WWE Writing Room... Errrr.... Actually I'm giving THEM too much credit. then again big Boxing bouts like this are notorious for Match Fixing but that was a fucking ridiculous ending is all I'm trying to say...
Actually I don't even know anymore...
Oh wait, Floyd Money Mayweather is an Asshole... A FUCKING AWESOME ASSHOLE

Life Affirming
Good morning Internet, Here's something that'll give you a smile.
Everyday people have trouble getting out of bed and facing the World. I honestly don't blame them sometimes, life can be a real bitch for no reason. Life gets hard at times and you just sit there and ask yourself "Why Me?"
I don't often feel like that but I have been feeling that way lately, just thinking about past opportunities and how I could've handled things better. You know... The 'What Ifs' of Life. That isn't anything new by any sense of the imagination, I'm sure everyone would like to just hop into a Time Machine and go back and fix the past mistakes in their lives.
Then something comes along and sparks me up, just makes me glad to be here in the first place. That life isn't so bad, there are moments that you're just glad you witnessed or shared with someone. There are many analogies and proverbs about Life, some positive, some negative and some that just tell you to endure.
I heard a great line from one of my favourite YouTube directors Khyan; "Some experiences are Awful, but all experiences are valuable."
Khyan has some other excellent thoughts, here they are.
and for the road, an excellent little short film her made called "When Loves Expires", frankly its one of the best pieces I've ever seen posted online. I order you to go to his YouTube page and Subscribe to his account, the man is clearly brilliant.

Snipin' a Good Job Mate
Team Fortress 2 is easily the biggest time suck of my life at the moment. I've already logged in 2,000+ hours of playtime on my Steam Account just on TF2 alone. I've had the game for nearly 2 years, if you do the maths... That's about 84 full days I've played TF2.
Ugh.... Now I just feel bad for being an above average player at it now. I'll just blame my relic of a computer for that then, kinda hard to dominate at a game when the frame rate drops when you enter an area with more than 4 people fighting each other.
The one class I get the most pleasure out of playing is the Sniper, he's Australian, He's Brash and He's just an all round Awesome character. From his amazing one-liners to his character design, The Adelaide Assassin is my favourite class.

Today I realised I have a Serious Eating Disorder
Have you ever woken up and had a fist full of vitamins for breakfast? Well I do that everyday. Just because I'm not hungry in the morning, just a fistful of tablets and water is all I usually have. I also routinely skip a meal every now and then, so it's quite rare for me to actually eat 3 meals a day. I kinda just gaze on fruits if I ever feel hungry, Yeah it's not healthy under-eating like that but I look so good without a shirt on.
Being an anorexic narcissist is more likely then you think. Every time I wonder about my eating habits I just stare into a mirror before and after a shower and just admire myself. That may sound stupid to you but it might have something to do with my wavering levels of self-esteem at times. Then after that I go do 100 Push-Ups and eat 2 hard boiled eggs. Its been a month since I started to seriously do this "diet" and I lost 10kgs in just a few weeks. I Felt great because I looked great.
This can hardly be considered a diet, when you're skipping meals and replacing them with supplements and water and push-ups. I personally believed I was staying ahead of the curve by completely cutting out calories and just taking in vitamins. Well I paid for that today... I fainted from exhaustion and malnutrition I felt helpless there. Just laying on the floor as my body slowly shut down. I was scared but not terrified scared, just worried that I might have taken this whole dieting too far. After laying there for a few minutes I staggered to my feet, drank some water and just laid on the floor in the fetal position, recovering. After an hour I ate a Sandwich and now I'm here... Telling you about it, It wasn't fun and I don't plan on fainting again any time soon.
I'm reminded of a quote from Daria;
That kind of shallow thinking can be dangerous if taken too literally. I didn't realise I was subconsciously starving myself skinny just to achieve this ridiculous body image of what I thought a real man looks like. Which of course just shows you how the Media's portal of what a Healthy is, is grossly inaccurate.
Frankly I blame Joel McHale....

Being Manorexic
To your left is a picture of Michael Fassbender playing a noble Spartan Warrior, you may also know him as Magneto from X-Men First Class. Anyway when you look at this picture do you see one of the Ultimate Spartan Warriors breed for Battle and Glory or do you see a Underweight Male Actor holding a pointy stick?
I google searched the socially trending term "Manorexic" to see what the results were, among the gaunt and scary looking skeletons with skin kind of body reserved for freak shows and spiritual Indian monks was the above picture. That's right, that picture of that supposedly superior warrior male is now considered (m)anorexic.
I dunno about you, but I thought that was interesting... If that were the case then I'm probably considered manorexic because I basically starved myself down to that size and work out like... A lot,
But that just might be narcissism.

Whatever did happen to Joey after Joey?
God damn he looks Old... but the same... Now I just feel bad.
Sidenote: I don't think anyone will be searching Joey or Matt La Blanc any damn time soon or ever again for that matter.... Maybe when he dies.... MAYBE
I swear in 20 years time if he still hasn't done anything, people will just start assuming he died... If he's still alive that is.
If he died today I'm sure he'd be a trending topic on twitter....Probably....
I'd write this show...
I love Anh Do, ever since my friend let me borrow his Book 'The Luckiest Refugee' and reading through it... TWICE! I've felt like I"ve come to know this man very well and it would be hilarious getting him to do some of the most meta children's entertainment show ever.
I would make sure that the other actors acted like their outlined characters then half way through the season add this one character that continues to break the fourth wall and berate various members of the Crew. Then focus all the attention on him with the Pink Haired Girl. Yeah... They'd probably kill that guy off set somewhere if we ever did more than 3 season with that kind of character.
Lord knows how you would write a talking mail box in there... OH THAT'S RIGHT! I'LL JUST ANNOUNCE ITS MAIL TIME WHENEVER THERE ISN'T ANYTHING INTERESTING GOING ON!....
That would be a brilliant show and would either turn the kids into jaded pricks that hate everyone... or Film Directors... Oh wait, that's the same thing. That wasn't a very clever way to end this.
I wonder if that line about touching her toes at the end was written by the staff or improv'ed on the spot.... Then again I'd probably make him call her a middle aged meth addict and say something really hurtful like she's only here to support her
Because I can be an awful person and write awful things... You better hope I never end up a writer on a kids show. I would have those guys do some of the dumbest shit if I was in charge.
I might even push the idea to kids that its okay to use physical violence to solve your problems on the playground. If You aren't a big kid, carry a rock in your pocket to stone bigger fatter kids
Yeah... That won't ever been seen by anyone, forget I said anything
.....Publish?

Sage Advice....
I look at the Midnight Channel and I see what I tried to do and how I didn't feel like I accomplished what I wanted. I didn't get a whole lot of attention and the writing itself was just bad, Just bad writing. It wasn't particularly interesting or clever, it was just posts about interesting people on the internet doing interesting things. None of it was my work and none of it felt like it had a purpose. I was just pushing out boring posts and praising the amazingly talented and creative people I posted about. It looked nice but it was empty... Kinda like a Ming Vase, its was aesthetically pleasing in blog form but it's empty on the inside, content wise.
I don't really have big plans for this blog, I just post about things I like or something interesting or cool on the internet, but I hope it serves as a creative writing outlet. A Place where I can come and just let my mind go and see what I come up with rather then just a place I go to write down whenever I come up with a "Good Idea". Or whatever I think a Good idea is at the time.
I guess it is a good thing that I "deactivated" my facebook. I know I'll eventually go back to the Internet Social Circle eventually but its a nice little internet vacation away I'm having from my Cyber Friends. Although I do wonder if I am actually missed but them, I did post a lot of nonsense on my facebook. I'm sure people saw most of my posts and status updates as cyber pollution but I like to think somebody... somewhere, got something out of my nonsense.
Its sad to think I'm searching for that kind of validation in the first place... Sigh
Anyway, this video was something that just came along and hit me for 6, I really needed to see it to just tell me to keep trying. Don't give up, sure what you're putting out now my seem disappointing and underwhelming but if you fight on you'll eventually "close the gap".
So I watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes
It was surprisingly good, you know when you just go into a movie expecting very little and walking away surprised with how good it actually was. When something exceeds your expectations that's probably the best response anyone could get for their movie. It was a lot better then I expected is something directors should strive for... at least someone like Michael Bay anyway.
I saw James Franco sort of sleep walk through the role, he didn't really need to do much but I guess that was more the fact that the motion capture actor that was playing the Caesar the super smart Ape stole the entire movie. Andy Serkis who also motion capped the role of Gollum for Lord of the Rings deserves a damn Oscar nomination for the amount of emotion he brought into a CGI monkey. That CGI Ape showed more human emotion then most actors in Hollywood these days. It was a thing of beauty and the CGI team also deserve credit.
It was also nice to see John Lithgow in a movie, lately he's been on shows like 30 Rock or How I Met Your Mother as sort of a older and aloof character... nice to see he's found himself a niche character to play at his age. Not a lot of work for older gentlemen going around Hollywood these days. That goes double for Women... Unless your name is Betty White.
Also it was interesting seeing Milfroy (Tom Felton) replace a wand for a cattle prod, still being the same smarmy asshole but this time he's abusing apes rather then filthy mud blood wizards...
Every time he used the cattle prod on a Monkey I quietly thought "CRUCIO" in my head.
Alright I've revealed too much now... Then again like a true (sort of) black person I did spend most of the time talking over the movie.
There was also a scene where English Businessman version of Kanye West walked into a room full of Apes about to beat the living shit out of him and I was expecting the head Ape to just yell. "S'cool bro, we're on the same team" and then the rest of the movie was just a bunch of apes going around killing White People.
That would've been the most hilarious way to End the movie... and I already know I'm going to hell so don't bother reminding me.

Just watching the Internet take over the Real World
After watching this video you'll understand and when it does happen...
Try to act surprised... Okay?
I have no idea what this social media bullshit version of Monopoly is... But I do not like it!
Giving up Facebook isn't too bad... Dodging the other dumb social media traps is another thing entirely.

December can't come soon enough.
Brock Lesnar vs. Alistair Overeem, two absolute monsters... Just hulking beasts of men are the headliner for UFC 140. Now I'm not a avid Mixed Martial Arts follower but I'm really starting to get into the sport all of a sudden. It's Strange. Just watching two men in what is basically an even as you can get match to see how is the better fighter.
Its just fascinating to see two men compete in a competition like that. I would really push for the point that you only truly feel alive is when you're fighting for your life and in a way that's what these men do... In a heavily supervised and regulated fashion.
Anyway take a look at these Man Beasts.
Allistair Overeem's KO Highlight Reel:
Brock Lesner's Career Highlight Reel:
Brock is adept at Wrestling and Putting people on the ground and then just smashing their face in whist on the ground but Allistair just looks like some kind of dangerously efficient KO Machine.
All I know is this will be one hell of a FIGHT.

My Computer belongs in a Museum
Every time I turn on my trusty computer I see always see how old the Software is and remember how my family had basically purchased it brand new with all the latest software, hardware and whatever other tech words were buzzing at the time. 2002 was a different time, a time of internet growth, people had gotten over the Y2K bug and were trusting computers again....
Which is stupid because I'm pretty sure Computers will become self aware within 10 years.... But that's another blog entry entirely....
2002 doesn't seem that long ago... Actually it does to me now considering 2002 was almost a decade ago if you think about it. Jesus I'm starting to feel a little old at 22 for some reason, anyway 9 years may or may not seem like that much time but in Computer Years 9 years is like 30 years considering how fast Technology seems to be quickly evolving.
Oh let get into detail, its software is so outdated it takes 3 entry keys to get into the log in screen. Its probably because I've fragged something inside after I've gone off trying to clean the hard drive while I accidentally delete important applications.... Sigh.
I can hear it loudly humming away after 5 minutes of use, the internal fan sounds like a fucking car engine, its deafening. It just kicks into loud fan mode every time I open a 2nd tab in Firefox.
Also it takes a good while for programs to start up and to shut-down. Especially scanning programs which requires a whole lot cooperation system wise. Yep, this old girl is just a stubborn ol' bat. I'll miss her though...
Once I get me one of those cheap and fast new age laptops. Oh I'll be having fun playing with that sweet thing long into those sweaty Summer Nights... You should probably leave now. I might write some dirty sci-fi porno about.... Never mind.
Just Leave.

If Kanye West was in the Walking Dead
Quite frankly if I was writing the Walking Dead I'd write in the most ridiculously awesome Cameo for Kanye West. According to my friend who is devouring the Walking Dead comic series at a ridiculous rate he tells me the Survivors run across a Billionaire that is armed to the teeth with ammunition and military artillery. So I figure who better then to represent Wealth and Fame than Kanye West?
The most likely and hilarious Celebrity to survive would definitely be the charismatic and well madman / genius Kanye West. I already have this image of him and Jay-Z rolling around the Town in Tanks just having a ball killing zombies while blasting their music. He wouldn't do anything half-assed and it would be hilarious to see him pop out of the tank and just be a arrogant dick to the Survivors.
Shit like "Where you crazy White folk going? I almost blasted you like them other haters!"
Anyway I can't wait for Season 2 of the Walking Dead to start. I might try to write out a credible scene with Kanye, I'd have to write some pretty Kanye typical dialogue... Which just may offend a lot of people.

Carving Community
Made a Troy and Abed Community Banner, my two favourite characters on the Show, I would honestly give a kidney for a best friend like Troy or Abed.
Seriously thinking about writing an spec script of Community once I see the entire new cast for Season 3, I honestly can't wait for the start of the Season on the 22nd. Just a few weeks away....

What do you mean you don't Tip?
Made a little Reservoir Dogs banner, Quentin Tarantino is a film making God.... Except Death Proof, I almost stopped liking him after THAT. But Inglorious Basterds was a pretty good movie so I guess all is forgiven. Unless that new one he's working on about the Slave Uprising sucks too.
Scenes like that make me enjoy Tarantino movies, just general bullshit conversation about nothing. Its like Seinfeld level genius the quality of dialogue the man writes...
Also the Great irony in this scene is how Mr Pink played by the Awesome Steve Buscemi is portrayed as a jaded tightass but in reality dude is one of the most humble and generous actors to ever grace the earth. He was a New York City Fire Fighter and volunteers and donates to the NYFD regularly.

Fightng the Venom
Spiderman: Fighting the Venom Idea
A Spiderman game where he has to choose three endings, one where he slowly becomes Venom Spiderman Carnage or where he fights it off while fighting multiple villains. Green Goblin and the relationship with Harry, Mysterio and the Silver Cat. Or maybe without the Relationship stuff that would probably tie he game story down.
Its a dark arc in a Spiderman comic series for a Good or Evil choice video game like InFamous, it would start off with Peter being infected with the Space Venom disease from Spiderman 3. During the story arc he fights and battles some of his villains and in conflicted at various points to let the aggressive and ruthless venom pathogen take over.
In a video game, resisting the venom would lead to Peter ultimately rejecting the Venom then it attaching itself to another organism like Eddie Brock Jr and letting the venom immediately take him over. He'd become a complete Venom monster. So You'd have to use the Good Skills against it like advanced dodging, faster spider sense, whatever. However if you choose to let the Venom take over you and become Power Hungry and a Savage out of Control Beast, all the Spidey villains that you sided with will turn on you.
The thing with games though its usually a cosmetic change when you decide to be good or evil, all the moves are the same but one move is executed with nice noble light blue or white aura whilst the evil is usually just blood red or black. So I suggest those that choose the Dark / Evil route will have stronger Base Stats like Strength and Speed and Aggressive Power Attacks whilst those that choose the Light / Good route will have more specialised skills like Dodging and Counter Attacking skills.
So a Good Ending would result in a Fight with Venom which is basically what Peter would've been if you had chosen to be evil rather then good, so its like fighting your shadow. He uses all the Venom Carnage Moves against you so it's a cool fight. The Evil Ending will just be Fully Powered Carnage Spiderman versus the other Spiderman Villains one by one in a City Wide Gauntlet of Boss Fights.
However if you stay manage to stay on a neutral path you should probably get an ending where Spiderman fights the remaining Super Villains that he didn't outright kill or eliminate and one of the bodies of one of the defeated super villains after the fight gets some of the rejected symbiote of Venom and becomes a Weakened version of the Venom you would normally fight in the Good Ending so a Neutral ending is a bit of both endings.
Should think this through harder.

I became a Tally Hall fan yesterday
In spirit of being a pseudo hipster, I was directed to Tally Hall's "Ruler of Everything" video a while ago. Which basically to me looks like someone animated a acid trip using clay-mation models backed with whimsical indie music reminiscent of Ben Folds and the Beatles. It's a really strange but alluring combination. Anyway the clip for "Ruler of Everything" is just amazing, a little out there but amazing.
They make other amazingly cute video clips, Oh how this wonderful little band just maanges to make me feel so happy to be alive.
Thank You Tally Hall.

The Ghost of Facebook
Just picturing a Ghost with the Facebook Logo as a face haunting me in my dreams after thinking of that title. How ridiculous...
I had to make a picture after thinking of that too...
Its haunting me, just seeing my friends who do have facebook just starring at you expecting you to cave and go back to the social norm. If they start reminding me how much I need it in life then I'll take that as a small social victory, clearly that want me back into their little social scene. Maybe I should just start telling them to save their breathe to cool their porridge. Which is a fantastic line from the Movie Snatch.
Who said that? None other then the Tattoo Sporting Pikey that's Harder than a coffin nail. One Punch Mickey, aka Gypsy Brad Pitt. Yep... I got nothing else at the moment, just fighting off my Facebook Addiction and using a awesome fiction fighter as my metaphor...
What a Hack Writer... Give up now.
Looks good right?
