Well.
I have decided, thanks in part to the success of another school friend [who shall not be named for privacy reasons and my own reputation's sake] to outline exactly what I would like to achieve this year. The idea occured to me...why not focus on my strength?
I aim, in 2008, to complete the following publications:
2 books of Poetry [150 pages each]
1 album of songs
5 piece set of fairytale CDs
3 Novels
1 book of scripts
1 screenplay
I have noted that maybe this could be a very long haul...but thats what I wish to do. I will keep you updated over the year.

Profile - Idiot of the Day!
Big Brother = The Parade of Idiots!
I think the title speaks for everything below. Big Brother is the official, authentic Idiot of the Day! The franchise has won my unending scorn and hatred as the prize, plus being immortalised in this blog for all time [or at least until it gets shut down for my views].
May I ask a question? What kinds of IDIOTS would sit on the couch for an hour every day and watch people locked in some house go about their business?! In English, we have a word for this: Voyeurism.
Voyeurism = Someone who receives enjoyment from witnessing other people's suffering or misfortune. [Wikipedia, the most useful collection of useless information on the web! All hail it!]
Big Brother…
All hail the parade of stupid idiots!

They call themselves decent people?!
Ok. I really don’t get it!
Recently, I came across this site and an article about a priest and 14 year old teenager. The comments following it were….AWFUL! For your own understanding, here is the site link.

Now, I admit freely that I am a practising Christian. However, I was taught to respect those of other religions. It seems that other people, however, were not taught the same decent courtesies of religious tolerance. Across the internet, I see the same nasty messages about Muslim people and Islam as a whole. Who gives them the right to use the internet as a venting ground for vitriolic, prejudiced hatred?!
The whole thing makes me…grrrrr!
Yeah, I accept that we have freedom of opinion and speech but I still think people who say stuff like that deserve to get flamed. Just my opinion. My mother taught me a very good rule: If you can’t say something nice, DON’T SAY ANYTHING! Those people should follow it.
Which leads me on to the topic…Islam.
I really don’t get how people in the ‘West’ can reconcile Islam with a small percentage of people who blow themselves up, and think it applies to all muslims. I’ve met one or two muslims on my university campus and they are all very nice, normal people who are perfectly decent. So, why can’t people see that?!
Sure, some women wear veils but not all of them. I’m a Christian and I don’t always wear a cross around my neck and a sign saying I’m one. Yet, my friends don’t lump me in with someone like the Crusaders who killed people in the name of religion. So don’t do that to people who follow Islam!
People - Stop being scaredy cats and grow up!
