Birthday Rant/ The Scrooge of August.

I hate birthdays. Every year i feel guilty about it, people try to make me enjoy my Birthday. However, i know that no matter what intrinsic act of generosity and kindheartedness people bestow on me i will not enjoy the day. I do find myself coming up with things to do on my birthday not particularly because of an 'today is my day and i will do whatever i want' attitude but because of an 'ok this will keep mum happy.' attitude (i was going to substitute mum with fake girlfriend's name but, i decided Charles you made your empty bed of singleness now lay in it.) Even with gifts, though always a pleasure to recieve i am of the opinion that once you are past a point where you have the necessary monetary assets and fiscal power to occasionally treat yourself, presents are of no use because if i want something i can buy it i see no reason why i should have to go through the memory game that is creating a list of gifts that i desire and spend other people's money in the process. In my Present-Based-Eutopia people would give gifts when they feel like it and will not be tied down by a amazon wish list or a date at all thus, allowing all gifts the natural facet of being an surprise. (If you do like this idea feel free to change your Present-Based-Eutopia to fall inline with my preordained conditions.)
I can't wait for the day to end, because when it starts i have a whole new year where i can plan everything and anything i want to achieve in that year. The prospect of traveling, university, starting a band, playing football again, learning to play cricket, dropping out of university to do any of the former professionally : a whole year can be filled with such ambition, such hope, such promise. The only gift i feel i get from a birthday is the gift of time, which, sorry amazon your fantastic range of consumer items cannot compete with. It's literally the gift that keeps on giving. Time wasted in that case is a horrible realisation, recognising you have achieved nothing you wanted; that your hopes have been smashed by what is essentially procrasination and poor decision making... ...and when at 12:05 having had a takeaway i was sat on my own playing FIFA, assessing how it now was my birthday whilst shouting at darren bent it was a pretty sobering realisation at best.

P.S left cats and cakes out of the rant for obvious reasons.

run for the covers, delve under the covers, find youself some cover, here's a nice cover

better than the original? I'm not sure yet but i do love it.

WTF?

clearly she's well head mental or she's trying to appear intelligent and complex is failing miserably.

three moon wolf t shirt

sale ranking has gone up by 3000% apparently, due to ironic reviews and naturally it being the coolest t shirt ever though.

'Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the 'guns'), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark.'

'Unfortunately I already had this exact picture tattooed on my chest, but this shirt is very useful in colder weather.'

'Just wanted to post on here, be careful to order your shirt from here only. I was looking to get one cheaper, and bought one off Ebay, but didn't read it carefully enough. You guessed it, one wolf, three moons. I mean its ok to wear I guess, but if you look carefully you can tell its not the real thing. It hasn't made me as confident as the real one would of, but at least I THINK about the real one when I wear it, and that helps a bit I guess.

Don't try to save a couple bucks! NOT WORTH IT.'

'For you left brain types out there, who are still unsure on whether or not this shirt would make a wise purchase, allow me to break it down for you.

Most shirts like this only contain one wolf. This shirt has three wolves, plus a moon. You are basically getting three wolves and a moon for the price on one wolf. You won't find that deal anywhere else.'


I am literally go through all 39 pages of reviews now.

thoughts?

best thing i've heard in ages....

Having read 'Dreams from My Father' by my boy Barack, one character from his childhood sticks out as influential that's his friend ray. Some of the anecdotes contain some of frankly, the most amazing quotations from the president. Seeing as he narrates the audiobook, it has delivered some of the best samples in the world. These thankfully were posted up by The Boston phoenix.


Describing bush perhaps?


“You know that guy ain’t shit. Sorry-ass motherfucker ain’t got nothing on me.”

exactly what being a president is all about...

"So what happens when we go out to a party with some sisters, huh? What happens? I'll tell you what happens: BLAM! They on us like there's no tomorrow."

No one turns up to state dinners without there own dish. The prez hates that shit...


“You ain’t my bitch, nigga! Buy your own damn fries!”

He's just realised the job in hand...

"This shit's getting way to complicated for me."

of course fox is always putting him down...


“There are white folks, and then there are ignorant motherfuckers like you.”


Still, the femuls, keep comin...

“Sure you can have my number, baby!”

i wish i lived in 90's manhattan..

kanchelski dentist....

admittedly, i haven't blogged in ages. In this time barely anything has happened worth mentioning.

though when searching for an orthodontist in Manchester i came up with these





'yes mr wander really does do my teeth' R. Giggs.


the best for last though....



Andrei Kanchelskisaid:
"Healthy teeth are important to everyone - including footballers, whose dental health gives the cutting edge to full fitness. When I came to Manchester one of my first visits was to the (club) dentist - Mr Wander. Although my teeth did not need treatment, my wife Inna, a beauty queen in the Ukraine, took advantage of Mr Wander's skill in cosmetic dentistry. Furthermore, we were able to persuade Mr Wander to attend to the teeth of Inna's mother when she visited England. Thanks for the Magic Wand!"

quite frankly i find Kanchelskis claim of physical fitness being linked to healthy teeth ridiculous, never mind the idea of it possibly providing a cutting edge. I also find the mere idea that his Ukrainian 'Beauty Queen' wife needed cosmetic dentistry, provides all manner of eastern European dental stereotypes.

still what a player....
