Oh i learnt a new word today, 'thinspiration'


In other news, did anyone see the England vs Ghana game? Beckham scored the goal, looked over at his wife and this was the reaction

Idiot

I cant believe it.Is it possible that this kid had the only parents in the world who never asked him;

"If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?"

Riteing

Dedicated to Miss K, who always used to say that my essays were killing her, coz I never used punctuation and she would collapse from lack of breath.
(She was a teeeny weeeny dramatic)


How to write good


1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat.)
4. Employ the vernacular.
5. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
6. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
7. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
8. Contractions aren't necessary.
9. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
10. One should never generalize.
11. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
12. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
13. Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
14. Be more or less specific.
15. Understatement is always best.
16. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
17. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
18. The passive voice is to be avoided.
19. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
20. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
21. Who needs rhetorical questions?
22. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

Paris

Oh I wanted to much to hate this Paris Hilton song. Unfortunately after hearing it, I have come to the realisation that it sounds just like every other manufactured pop song by Linsey Lohan, Ashlee Simpson or Gwen Stephanie (very similar).

Guess it speaks for the total dearth of talent in the pop music field, where singers singing is only of marginal importance.

Skittles

Back from a kewl party at Thariqs' and as promised, here is a link to one of the weirdest drinks I have ever heard of, Skittles Vodka.

Scary

I dunno what it is about Poshy, she was never my favorite Spice Girl (baby) but the whole, 'walking skelton, under 40kg' image just does not still well with me.

btw, ask me one day about the whole spice girl role playing routine, I have a fantastic Jungian interpretation of it.

Blunt

What is not reported, is that she probably got up to switch the damn radio off.

stoopid

How could he not have seen this one coming?

Cancer

Probably the saddest thing about cancer is the sheer desperation of it. Given that it is incurable, people who have it will try anything and I personally find people or organisations that target these people and prey on them to be dispicable.

The proponents of this treatments say it is cheap, simple and effective and are implying that the major drug companies refuse to further its research as it will result in billions of dollars of lost revenue. The other side of the coin is that the detractors say the treatment plain does not work.

My sympathies to all those that have been affected by this disease, either directly or indirectly. It is one of those things which really have no silver lining and I can only wish that the answer was this simple

Argentina

GGGGGGGooooooaaaaaalllllllllll

cutesy

Coolness

Yes yes I know this is a bloody long download but I assure you it is completely worth it. As soon as you see the screen, click pause, let it load in the background and play it all at once.

Gnarls Barkley being introduced by Borat, how much cooler does it get than this? These two guys often get into theme dressup (everybody seen the Clockwork Orange cover?) but this one takes the cake. I actually screamed out loud when I saw the drummer.

Streamyx

My internet connection was down for almost a week. Extremely annoying and I made sure to abuse the support staff on a regular basis. Having said that, I did find more time for myself, read more, and generally was more healthy.

Man I hope it doesn't happen again!


And if any of you missed your fix for weird news, here is an article for ya. I would not have posted it but for the fact that it is on Yahoo which means it must be true....
