Hello again followers (disciples?).
It's a been a fair old while since I've updated this, so I thought I'd give it a crack, with a slight change of emphasis. Seeing as my past posts have revolved around what I've been up to, and basically, no one cares (including myself most of the time), or, if they do they're following me on twitter.
I'm going to attempt to move my posts to more of a news and my opinions on it outlet (we'll see how it goes).
So, what's been happening in the world?
President Obama has received the Nobel Peace Prize, Stephen Gately is dead, Copernicus was right etc. etc.
One piece of news that struck me as odd this week was the 'news' that a scientist claims the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is being sabotaged... by its own future.
For those not in the know the LHC is a 17 mile long tunnel under the French-Swiss border in which scientists hope to smash two atoms into each other at the speed of light in search of the Higgs Boson (or the 'God Particle'). This scientist believes that the LHC will find the Higgs Boson, but this will create chaos in the universe, as the particles travel through time they disrupt the LHC in the present, preventing chaos in the universe... my opinion? Bollocks.
So there was massive media hype about a black hole being created by the LHC (smashing two tiny things together, no matter how fast, cannot end the universe. FACT), and then there was a helium leak which has caused delays, (and leads to the hilarious scenario in my head of particle physicists running around with high pitched voices). But to say that these problems were caused by a higher power or a self-correctional universe?, what sort of scientist chooses the easy answer like that? Leave it to the religious to blame it on things that have no supporting evidence and cannot be proven, and get on with your job of getting the damn thing working.
Something else, completely unrelated to this has also recently caught my eye, the 'band' Fall Out Boy have a greatest hits album coming out. now, as surprising as this is (they have hits?) there is a limited edition version also for release, with this will come the usual extra DVD and maybe some nicer packaging (I don't know, I refuse to research it for the fear that facebooks targeted advertising system will believe I'm a fan), what's odd about this is that this limited edition version will come with a lock of Pete Wentz' own hair and will cost £80.
Now, what sort of creepy, stalker type fan base does Fall Out Boy have? I'd always assumed their fans were 12 year olds who are too young to know better, or their older, retarded siblings.
I know its easy to make jibes about Fall Out Boy fans, in the same way it's easy to make jokes about deaf blind mutes (except deaf blind mutes have better taste in music) but I'm not going to stop because I see no other way for them to learn what utter crap they claim to like.
But this does also raise the question, how much of a vain twat is Pete Wentz, does that man honestly believe his fans want locks of his greasy hair? I know if it were one of my favourite bands i'd avoid buying it just to stop the ego that would come with such a purchase; seriously, buying a guys hair will inevitably give that guy the ego of Gene Simmons or Bono.
I feel I'm ranting now so I'm going to draw this to a close, however, I see myself as a fairly kind person who wants to leave the world a better place than when I joined it, so it is with this kindness that I plant a seedling idea: if everybody chipped in say, a quid each, it would only take a small amount of organisation to have Wentz killed.
If this works we could be living in a world without Fall Out Boy, and I think we all agree £1 isn’t much to ask for that.

Hello Shep,
ReplyDeleteA well done post. Keep it up.
I can't tell if I have commented before or not. So here is a link to more about Michael Shepherd: http://www.squidoo.com/MichaelShepherd
