IT's been a while since I've posted something here, but this subjecct really irritates me and I had to get it off my chest.
In recent months and weeks I've heard a lot of "buzz" about Jersey Shore (American version) and Geordie Shore (the new British programme). These are MTV shows and apparently audiences enjoy watching incomprehensible people having sx and shouting at one another. Well i deciided to watch Geordie Shore just to se what the hubub was about. Honestly an hour of my life that I will never get back. If I wanted to watch people arguing I would just say something outrageous at a family meal time. Or if I wanted to listen to people I can't understand a word of I'd go to France. There is no appeal of this show. The human race frankly is losing and TV has become filled with facile rubbish which frankly depresses me.

2010 a year for ,,,, something
2010 is the year of important chnage for me. My time as a student is coming to an end and a few other things are also ending. Portsmouth's 7 year tenure as a Premier League club is over and my favvourite TV show, Lost, is nearly at the end of its final season. So what for me?
Looking forward ....
The problem is there's not much to look forward to. Pompey staring into the abyss of the lower leagues and (this is also quite sad) the Harry Potter franchise ending in 2011, well it seems I lack things to grasp to.
Is it a problem that I've defined my life by these three pretty inocuous things? Well I do have to say I've enjoyed all of these things greatly and will be sad to see them end. My conundrum is what wll I define my life with now? No Lost or Uni to keep my time occupied I guess I need a job.
Hope....

The Man Who Would be King ..... Maker?
It's been a while but I think this post comes at just the right time. Apparently there's an election on May 6th... oh wait thats in half an hour.... who knew?
At the beginning of this campaign it looked certain to be Conservative government on May 7th, but, in my opinion, thankfully that may have changed. Don't get me wrong people can vote for whoever the want that's the point of democracy and I advocate it whole heartedly. However, from what I have seen since the campaign began there's been a lot of anti-Tory campaigning (which i love) and it looks like they won't get their majority. Since the first debate there has been a rally in support for Mr Clegg, and even when he was ahead of Mr Brown in the polls it seemed the Lib Dems still would have fewer seats than Labour. Eh? That I do not comprehend.
Now the election has come back down to earth and it seems Labour have more support than the Liberal Democrats. So tomorrow (or today) looks as though we shall see more people voting against the Tories than foor them (phew). This in turn leaves Mr Clegg with a dilemma, support Brown or Cameron? In my mind his key issue seems to be electoral reform which he can only get by backing Labour.
Friday morning will shed light on what will happen in this couuntry. A minority government, led by David Cameron or a Lib/Lab Coalition seem in my mind to be the only two possible outcomes.
This country is stuck at a crossroads and I worry that we could go the way of Greece. We could indeed see "Panic on the Streets of London". Don't get me wrong I'm not not Brown's biggest fan but I do believe that he is the only man to steer us through this economic uncertainty. And with Vince Cable helping in the coalition it could help us through the bad times.
When standing at the ballot box tomorrow vote for whoever you think will be right to save this country, my vote goes to Gordon Brown.

Endings
Its been a while and I have had requests for a new post and recently I've only been thinking about two things, Lost and my Dissertation. Of course as many of you are aware Lost is coming to and end and my dissertation signifies the end of my unniversity adventure. Therefore this post s about how these endings will change my life.
Since I got in to Lost (coincidently in my first year of uni) I have loved every second I have watched of it. Therefore when it ends it will be a very sad day in my life. Seeing as both these endings are occuring at almost the same time, it signifies a massive juncture in my life. At this stage Lost's ending can't disappoint me as I dealt with its confusion right from the getgo. However, the end of uni shows that I must venture into the scary and possibly dull world of employment.
I guess what 'm trying to say is that these endings will be a big part of my life and signify that I have ended my childhood. 21 in a week and completing my degree, well the end sparks a new beginning in, well.... I have no idea but here's to the adventure
P.S Don't Worry the next one will be returning to the rants

Sony broke my PS3
It has come to my attention that PS3s around the globe are not working today due to a calendar mishap reversing the dates back to January 1st 2000. Now, don't panic but I think the millenium bug has come 10 years late. Now the internet is connectedd to every computer in the world, they will all break, the apocalypse is coming my friends be ready for it.

The day the football died
This will be quick, and hopefully the next one won't be written with such discontent.
Today 26th Februaru 2010 Portsmouth were the first Premier League club to enter administration. Right this means that the business has been declared incapapble of running itself. Now the word that annoys me in that sentence is BUSINESS. When you hear the Premier League described, and I quote, as a "trading zone" you know football has gone down the crapper. I hate to say it again as it's been in my previous posts, but football isn't a business its primary aim isn't to make a profit, its primary aim is to be successful in football which means winning things. It now seems as though the latter can't be done without out millions of £'s at your disposal.
The Premier League is NOT A "TRADING ZONE" it is a sporting competition, it's like calling the Olympics a TV programme. Sport shouldn't be refered to like a business as it means so much more than that.
