Teenager reports cannabis theft

A Texas teenager called police - to complain that thieves had stolen his cannabis stash.

The 17-year-old was arrested after he said three men had broken into his flat, tied him up him with Christmas lights and stolen some marijuana.

Police found several marijuana plants growing under heat lamps in the apartment, four grams of harvested marijuana and a tablet of ecstasy.

Ugly Men Called In For Drinks Firms Ads

Drinks companies have been ordered to use uglier men in their advertising campaigns.The Advertising Standards Authority believes "balding" and "paunchy" men would be less likely to encourage women to drink to achieve social success.The new advertising code stresses that links must not be made between alcohol and seduction.

A campaign for popular sparkling drink Lambrini has become the first to fall foul of the new rules.

The Authority objected to a poster which showed three women "hooking" a slim, young man in a parody of a fairground game.

The industry regulator instructed the firm: "We would advise that the man in the picture should be unattractive - ie overweight, middle-aged, balding etc.

"In its current form we consider that the ad is in danger of implying that the drink may bring sexual/social success, because the man in question looks quite attractive and desirable to the girls.

"If the man was clearly unattractive, we think that this implication would be removed from the ad."

Lambrini owner John Halewood said the Authority should not be in the business of defining who was and was not unattractive enough to star in ads.

He said: "It makes some very understandable rulings to encourage sensible drinking but we're not sure they're qualified to decide for the nation who's sexy and who's not.

"Sexual attraction is happily one of the few things in life that can't be governed."

Yo

Drifting Away

I don't post enough here, I know.

I always intend to, but I don't have much net access these days.

I'll spend my day and think of things I can write and things I want to do, and then when I get round to it, I can't be arsed. Or I just don't think it's worth posting anymore.
I make promises to myself to do stuff, but I never do.
I don't even know if anyone's actually reading this right now.
Fuck it, I'm writing this for myself more than anyone else. Therapy on the cheap.
Fuck knows if it's ever helped, but hey ho...

I just don't really do anything noteworthy anymore; or at least anything that I'm still psyched about at the time of being online.
Occasionally I'll do something, and then not be online till a week later, by which point it just feels pointless writing about it (take my trip to San Diego for instance - a fucking huge momentous occasion in my life).

I don't know.

Everything's just a spiral now.

A year or so ago, I felt part of an online community.
I was one of many 'friends' who always had something to say, and who regularly blogged.
Now none of us do. I don't know why.
Times change, things change, people change.
I'm definitely more cynical than I was a year ago.
And possibly more lazy.
Though maybe exhausted and drained is more apt.
And numb. Always emotionally numb.

My passions are watered down, my motivation, my enthusiasm, my lust for life itself.

I'm not living anymore, I'm just existing.

And it's fucking me off big time, but I'm still not doing anything about it.

Maybe this is a start....

I really don't get "people"

Seriously.

I know there are times when I don't have a clue what's going on in my own head, but I really really just don't understand why some people are motivated to be the way they are.

I'm just fed up of it all.

People are arseholes.

Just the majority, I know, but there are days when all you get is the majority.
They wouldn't be the majority if they weren't.
Right in your face, rammed down your ears and shoved down your throat.

All in all, I'm at the point where I need a total change again.

Scenery, people, job; almost everything and everyone.

I'm not going to go into detail cos I've already said far too much.

But I'm sticking up a big fat neon flaming virtual middle finger at the world right now.

Fuck it all.

"Big up's"

Jasper Fforde - I picked up The Eyre Affair on a random whim the day before my trip, and had almost finished the book before I was even on the plane. The story was really well written and pulled me in straight away. I'm going to pick up the next three parts in the Thursday Next saga ASAP.
Easily up there at number 2 in my favourite authors list already, hopefully I won't be disappointed by his other efforts.

Oli G & Dodgee - http://djorfeus.pp.fi/oli_g_b2b_dodgee.mp3(right click, save as - as ever) is a seriously seriously 'wikkid' mix, full of phat tunes and scratching.

Thassabout it for now.

Guess who's back... back yet againagainagain...

Loads to say, but also loads to do.

I should have pictures soon, so expect some uploadage whenever I can.
I'm not the most verbal person in the world these days, so I doubt I'll expand much upon my trip, but there we go.

For now, always remember;
