Bill Hicks' Last Point

”Here is my final point. About drugs, about alcohol, about pornography and smoking and everything else. What business is it of yours what I do, read, buy, see, say, think, who I fuck, what I take into my body—as long as I do not harm another human being on this planet! I’m not scary. I’m basically just a joke-blower. That’s basically all I am, a joke-blower on the back of some Mexican gardener, blowing jokes all over the driveway, a fairly harmless guy, believer in love and truth, antiwar, believer in the values under which this country was originally founded: FREEDOM OF FUCKING EXPRESSION.

”And for those of you out there who are having a little moral dilemma in your head about this, I’ll answer it for you. IT’S NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS!

”Take that to the bank, cash it, and take it on a fucking vacation out of everybody’s life.”

He makes a good point.

Extortion Day?

I've been saying for at least the past year that St Valentine's day is a load of crap. At least. After doing some actual RESEARCH though, I've discovered that it WASN'T invented by Hallmark. Unlike Father's Day, or Mother's Day, or Sweetest Day *vomit*. Those holidays are full of shit. St Valentine's Day, however, actually has ancient roots!

Named after a pair of Christian Martyrs, the Pope of the 4th Century (AD)(or CE, if you're a history bitch) declared the 14th of February St Valentine's day. Adopted as the offical holiday of lovers everywhere after the rise in courtly love (R.I.P), it's now become one of the most marketed holidays in the calendar (after Christmas, but we'll get to that in a few months). One Billion Valentines are sent every year, and 850 Million of them are sent by Women. What does that tell you?

• Women are more compassionate and caring
• Women are sucked into marketing campaigns aimed at the heart easier

You tell me the answer.

The point is, either way, that Valentines day was ONCE a day for the celebration of love, and is NOW a day for the celebration of Hallmark Executives. I don't plan on buying into it, thank you very much.

200th Post?

Sorry to do a double post on y'alls, but I found this list of Jack Black quotes on Wikiquote and had to share it with y'all.

• Do not miss your chance to blow!

• Where do songs come from? INSPIRADO.

• I WILL catch the bug!

• Hi, I'm Jack Black, you probably know me from my movies and music, that's why you'll understand what I'm here about is very important to me: PIRACY. Look, super mega rock 'n' roll gods and stars are just regular dudes like you guys, we punch the clock, we put on the pants, then we blow people's minds. It's how we make a living! And then these pirates come, and they steal all our internets! I dont know how they do it, but these pirates can break into our entertainer's homes, make us walk the plank, and leave us broke. and you know what that means: no cash, no inspiration. No inspiration, no rocket sauce. No rocket sauce, no kick ass rock n roll, or movies! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT MR. LONG-JOHN SILVER?! WHATS YOUR PARROT GONNA LISTEN TO WHEN YOU GO TOE-TO-TOE AGAINST THE ENGLISH ARMADA?! JAZZ?! I DONT THINK SO! Don't be a douche, stop piracy!

• I will take on all comers and cum on all takers!

• What we got will turn your brain to shit.

• Hold on to your brain balls

• "She was all 'I'm gonna burn this motherfucker down!', and I was all 'You better not! You better not!'" "She said it was an electrical fire." "Oh yea, a ttotal electrical fire. It was like the fourth of July in there." "Where are your pants, Joe?" "I had to take them off, to outrun the fire, they were slowing me down!" "We got a sprinter, five foot, brown hair, white t-shirt...no pants....portly." -Orange County

Yeah.

EDIT: OH MY GOD. THIS WAS MY 200th POST, AND I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. WHAT THE FUCK.

Can I sit next to you, girl?

I met this girl for the first time on Saturday night
Standing in the queue at the Odeon alright
Oh I took her by surprise
When I gave her one of my lines
She started smiling at me real fine (ha ha)
That's when I said

Can I sit next to you, girl?

At intermission we were doing alright
Until this guy came up and stood by her side
Oh I took him by surprise
When I gave him one of my lines
She started smiling at me real fine
And that's when I said

Can I sit next to you, girl?

I believe there's about 100x more "Can I sit next to you, girl?"s in there, but oh well. One of ACDC's finest :D

First of the month.

It brings new beginnings. It just so happens that this particular first of the month is also the start of a new school year, so I feel compelled to write something about it.
Random Thoughts:
Year 11
VCE
Pwning
Queen
Tenacious D
Jack Black
School of Rock
School
Year 11.

What a nice little rotation there.
So much for getting >33 posts last month. I managed barely half of that. /cheer for me. I really think I'm going to enjoy school this year, what with no Ms Pearson, correspondence IT course, pwnage Chemistry... It'll be sweet.

That's all I can really be bothered writing right now, it's almost 11 and I should be asleep. Au revoir.
