Christ this blogging business is a bit difficult to keep up with eh? What with the toing and the froing and the hipping and the hopping and so on and so forth. And so at last I return to Blogspot to update the globe on all the wondrous events that have occurred in my life... watch out globe! THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT!!!!
We're watching Hitch. Sometimes you look at your life and you question what you have become. Have I become a romcomming, Notebook loving, walk remembering PONCE?!?! However, I am told there is nothing else on despite the US Masters being nought but a button click away.
A lot of strange things have taken place since lost I posted on here. Very strange things indeed. A BLACK MAN has become President of the United States. A cancer victim has become the media's favourite bag of jollies. Liverpool Football Club played well for about 3 months. And I have joined a goat slaughtering cult that worships the voodoo snake god Damballah.
First of all, Barack Obama. Can one man change the world? People seem to think so. It is hard to think of an another time in history where such pressure was mounted on one man's shoulders. He is a powerful orator, a man with a strong sense of right and wrong and that rarest of things - an American president with a social conscience. But politics is a fickle business and we have to question whether or not he will have a) the time and b) the political support to realise his ideas. But whilst it is always hard to change the least any of us can do us try. For that both Obama and the American people deserve kudos TO THE EXTREEEEMMMEE!!!!
Secondly, this Jade Goody fiasco. I would like to prefix this by saying Jade Goody was, after all that's been said and done, a regular human being. She is neither a saint nor a devil, a princess nor a whore. But she died a delicious media product for us to consume, yum yum, cancer is fun! It's hard to overstate how despicable this whole circus became. I know this whole saga has been analyzed to death by all the usual talking heads but it is worthy of looking at. It is easy, as always, to blame the tabloid media for all the ills of modern society but it is about time we began to take responsibility. We eat this savagery up. Slow painful death, it seems, is a profitable enterprise.
Peter Andre was right. The world is an insane place.
