not a major fan of the libertines and i despise pete doherty. projects for college due. 8O

aww man, nah i was quite into the libertines i thought they wrote some wicked songs. much better than babyshambles anyway.

i quickly grew sick of pete's personal life in the papers. i blame the tabloids for it.

the press have a lot to answer for. its amazing how much spin they can put on anything they want.



they're effectively the judge, jury and executor of everything. a law unto themselves. its dangerous really.

Hey I've just noticed something in Galvanize video : the footbal match on TV at the beginning is in french...

i had a rough night last night:



i have a mate, whose been depressed for a loooong time. we kind of got on with it as best we could but its got really bad - he came out for a drink, and since he quit uni a year ago all he's done is literally sit at home at his parents house - no work, no social life, no nothing. i dont see him all thei time, he still lives in my hometown, so i got him out for a drink last night.



me and my mate were quizzing him last night about how he felt, didnt he want any independence, why dont you get a job blah blah and he just mumbled and totally clammed up. i mean he hardly said a word all night, and tbh looked on the verge of tears most the time, it was fookin horrible.



the prob is my parents wouldnt have stod fo rme just moping round the house, theyd have kicked my arse about till i got a job, but his just seem to let him fester, like they dont know what to do about it.



basically, he is severely clinically depressed and its a horrible thought. so im trying to get hold of his ma to come round for a chat, and see what we can do about it. i mean the geezer needs some therapy, proper hardcore therapy. and i hardly know the woman.



'hello mrs ... , cup o tea? btw i think your sons in a heavy clinical depression. would u like some milk with that?'



bleugh.

mippio, you're doing the right thing by your friend.



It's very easy to have an opinion about something when you're on the outside looking in, so it may be possible that his parents see his current situation as a slump attributed to obstinance and sheer laziness. Or maybe they know deep down what the problem is and that's why they're so lax. Which would explain why his parents seem like they aren't doing a whole lot to help your friend's situation. As a parent I can say it's a tough thing to come to grips with anything that *might* be wrong with your child. And for the person who's depressed, well, it's not a pleasant thing to face your demons and admit you have a bigger problem underneath the surface.



Depression is horrible and suffocating thing to endure. I hope sometime soon he can get the help he needs and deserves.



You might want to round up another friend or 2 just for moral support when you talk to this guy's mother.

Give him some e!



(that's my solution to everything, from clinical depression to arthritis)

what happens after e? more depression than you started out with. He just needs to get laid [that's my solution to everything, from clinical depression to arthritis] ;-) I don't mean to poke fun that that fella in any way since half my family has bipolar or depression. heck even i get anxiety attacks sometimes.(cold feet,sweaty hands...yeah it's not a good)

Well...my solution to everything is not sex and not drugs...but to go ape at a gig :P

Thats why i am off to tonight to see the Prodigy , Audio Bulleys and more :P

Tell them that the whole thing is a giant scam, a scare tactic to make pharmiceutical companies tons of money, and the chances of the virus mutating to a form that's spread from person to person is just as likely as rabies mutating into an airborne form and killing us all.

Which is actually the truth

Friday.



I had a pretty good week (with the exception of my car breaking down on the way to my second day at my new job, then forking over $650 to pay the mechanic) But shit happens, at least if I had to, I could've walked the rest the way to work and not been late for the job.



Work is going very well and everyone is really nice and helpful. I'm so glad! It's a casual office so everyone wears what they want. It's so nice not having to stand on my feet and cover on a register and deal with the upcoming holiday swarm as well as slackers who won't do their jobs. I like the challenge of the new job so far, there's a lot to learn.



U2 on Tuesday was awesome. My brother was sick with the flu, so I ended up taking my friend who used to go with me on my U2 escapades all those years ago. You should've heard her on the phone when I asked her to go with me. X-D We had the most incredible seats in a private box "room" with about 6 other people who were associated with the company my brother works for. The room was decked out with a couple of couches, a bar with free beer and was carpeted so I could take off my shoes and move a bit. Good show, they played a lot of older tunes I haven't heard them play live since 80's. And they let this girl band (who were holding up a sign that said we sing, play drums, bass, guitar) up on stage and they ripped out an old classic where the Bono and Edge ended up jamming with them on stage. I felt sooooooo oooold when I left the venue. I can't say I enjoyed that feeling... and I hate comparing the Chems to U2 because it's really apples and oranges... but I've never felt old and tired when I left a Chems show I always feel electric and refreshed like I've gotten my second wind... but the U2 show was so worth the long wait because I've been wanting to see them again so bad.



This weekend I got suckered into visiting with my parents at their house.



My son is playing his new Star Wars game.



stash is picking me up some sashimi at the Japanese joint down the street.



It's good to be home tonight.

is it battlefront 2?.....cause me and my brother just picked up our copy ....havent played it yet, since we also picked up a pizza on our way home....hope its as good as the first one....anyways....gotta eat and play!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it's Battlefront 2.



According to stash and our son (who keeps screaming "Noooooo!" and arguing over which level to play) it's better than the first Battlefront. Maybe later I'll get around to playing it.



Enjoy your pizza and the game! 8)

U2 rocks 8) I were at the row 2 or 3 just by the left aim of the stage when I saw them.



I just turned 18 today, but for the moment, I don't see any differences...
