HEY I am a good listener, so shut your mouth!

For fuck sake, its finally happened. I have become full geek, before I was 78% but now its become the full 100%. I didn't plan for it to happen all I wanted was a new phone and i've found one. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini which is great except I brought it on contract from phones 4 u and they decided in all their wisdom to give me a Wii. So before when I owned a PS3, an Xbox 360 and a high end PC luckily I was only 78% geek now I own the set and have to give up on ever having a sex life again. I suppose though its a price worth paying for quality entertainment.

So I have a new job, its at Staples and its pretty cool. For the most part the staff are all right apart from mostly seeming a little racist. Only a little racist and to be honest not much more racist then most of people I know. Don't worry I don't blame you I blame your up bringing. So work is all good but I hang on to that feeling like I've had with all work colleagues past and present and that is they don't like me. For the most part its justified I am mean, usually tired , cranky a bit smelly and my humour is not for everyone. So justified. But the real shame is they are my best features.

So what else? I have seen a few good films recently firstly Predators. I liked it, then again I liked the original. I really liked the bit in the movie when that guy died and blood went everywhere then they all had to run away. If that sounds like your kind of film go see it now. I've also seen Inception. It was a pretty cool film, filled to the brim with original ideas and some great acting. Plus it will stay with and not just the amazing ending that will stay with you for a long time and will happily divide the audience for years. Finally I've seen Toy Story 3, lets be honest you know where you stand with pixar its always going to be well made and Toy Story 3 was no different. So that's what I've been up, what have you been up to?

I dont think Mario would make a good dad.

I'm not talking about the terrible singer, I am of course referring to the adventurer extraordinaire Mario. I'm not saying he wouldn't make a cool dad I just don't think he would be a good dad. Think about it for the most part he would always be of doing stuff. Saving Princess peach and beating up weird turtle people. I have to work on the assumption that Princess Peach is not your mum as I get the impression that she does not view Mario as anything more then a friend. Maybe he left it to long to ask her out or maybe despite the fact that he saves her on a yearly basis she still thinks she can do better. So Mario settles for your mum and that's OK your mums great, she is no princess Peach but you love her anyway everything is going swell until Mario's private phone rings and the princess has been kidnapped again. He drops everything and runs of to help. Its not even the case that what he is doing is safe, I mean he really puts his life on the line. In my opinion he is a bit selfish.

I realized after writing that last section that if you changed Mario for soldier you get a whole different, much more politically charged comment on life. That was not my point when I started this, it honestly started as comical point. I suppose you could change Princess Peach to either armed forces or country and weird turtle creature to what ever people we are fighting this day. I suppose that both with Mario and the Army somethings just need to be done.Sometimes for the good of a mushroom kingdom sometimes for the good of a lying politician.

One last thing before I go .After watching a small part of Jeremy Kyle today I have to ask why are some of the people that contact the show asking for help so brave? There was a woman on the show today starving herself to death. She called Jeremy Kyle to be told she would die if she didn't get this under control. The audience clapped, nobody slapped her. I'm sorry but if you are killing yourself don't ask what would Jeremy suggest, go and see a fucking doctor.

Patriotism a true indication of stupidity

I lost my train of thought or maybe i just lost interest. My original plan was to write a bit about my views on patriotism as the title suggest, so I started doing research. I wanted to find interesting quotes and facts to back up my views but I had some issues finding anything negative to say so I gave up. I'll give you my basic view on the subject, patriotism is for fucking retards.

My real issue is you have nothing to be proud of, none of you. I don't care which country your from. Your countries achievements are pointless. On top of that the way you cling on to past achievement's is pathetic. Yes we won world war 2. But how long will you claim that achievement to be yours? I suppose my real issues is the longer we hang on to our out dated view on patriotism the harder it will be to move forward as a planet.

With all the planets resources and ingenuity we should have achieved more. We should be exploring our solar system and setting up colonies and be preparing to go further. Maybe these views have been brought on by my recent Star Trek movie marathon and with that in mind its lucky I didn't have a Saw movie marathon or this blog would be very different. Some people are worried that by giving up on patriotism we will lose some of are culture and that's a fine argument if you Asian and you heritage is rich. What would England lose our famous Morris dancers?

I know there is more to England then that, but not a lot more. We are a country of white immigrants just like America. Are language is made up mostly but words that originated in other countries slightly changed over the years. There is nobody in this land pure British we all have some Roman, French or Viking in us so what are you hanging on to?

Are real issue with immigration seems to be the fear of losing something, but if everything was free to everyone would you care if someone else had it as well? If you could choose where to live on this planet, and everyone spoke a common language, we all had the same rights and everyone was wealthy enough to be happy with there lives are you saying you would honestly stay in the U.K. ? Yeah you would miss your family but who knows, if we all chipped in maybe we could invent warp speed or instant transporters then we would be out of excuses.
