Here's another one

Hey there gang, it’s 4 30 am and I thought of dropping a line before I go to bed, so as to be reassured that I am addicted to the inter web.

So, after waking up at 3 in the afternoon after getting drunk in the city that I dissed and with the people I praised in my last entry, I spent most of my time until now trying to write a 1,500 words essay.

Well I’ve written 500 words till now the rest can wait until tomorrow but that’s not the point. As I was inhaling some of my 5,80 pounds nicotine, this thought hit me and I said that it would be a good idea to write it down, maybe put it out there, not only because I want to share it with any one who reads this but also because most of the time I forget what I was thinking the last night while I was staying up instead of sleeping.

All the things that I was taught that were wrong when I was younger they still seem to be wrong, but the bad thing is that some of them that I was considering as being right is worse than the wrong things.

Here’s an example: “it is wrong and irresponsible getting drunk.” Well on the one hand it is wrong getting drunk everyday cause obviously it leads to alcoholism and to addiction maybe, I’m not an expert so I’ll shut up talking about what it leads to, but I wonder what is better drunken sincerity or sober lies? Yes you shake more and act like an idiot but think about this: would you say the things that are in your mind today and on the spot or they’d be drowned in the sea of sobriety and you’d wish you would have said them?

Bottom line and point of this blog is not to praise the alcohol or dish what I was taught by my family, but say that I believe we’re already lost and closed in our own little worlds so as to take into consideration rules that will make us “appropriate” and what some people called “normal” for this perfect world. And if I ever have a kid the first advice I’d give him/her once can understand is to spill chocolate ice cream on the sofa, drink from the bottle and make his self and the people that surround him/her happy by always saying what’s on his mind right on the spot.

Part 2:

Essay handed in and here's a question for you all: Why everyone has a blog today?!

“The Magazine Guys”


So, where were we folks? Yeah, I was making some comments on my present Uni life, but I believe that opinionated 20 –something year olds that think they've learnt everything about life over 3 years in University is the most amusing thing and making a magazine is another amusing thing. But let's take things from the start.

3 years of University, can apparently teach you everything about politics. About what is right and wrong. I thought that the University years are for making up your own mind, make your own ideas and make your own set of right and wrongs.

Right wings, left wings, chicken wings and what not, everyone became a political analyst and everyone is an intellectual journalist in the pass of 3 year time. I wish I was half the genius that these people are.

So after they have learnt BBC is bad, left wing sounds cool and most importantly the corporations are taking over and someone has to tip toe around it searching a solution for the problem while wearing a Tommy Hilfiger t-shirt, drinking tea from Starbucks (nothing personal with you Tommy I actually like your designs keep it up) they decided to launch a magazine.

Music critics that know everything about music gathered, with the boarders of the term “music” stopping at Cold Play, fat sport critics that knew everything about sports and they had a sharp pen in their hands attended too and last but not least the funny witty guys were there too. And they all decided to make a magazine.

Well, me on the other hand, not witty, average weight and definitely knowing very little about sports, I thought that it would be a good idea to try and launch an online magazine too. After discussing it with a friend of mine, we agreed that the criticism and analysis on their criticism and analysis on the subjects that they discuss on their magazine would a funny and entertaining thing to do not only for us but hopefully, for other people too.

Nothing is certain yet, we’re still building the foundations. Hopefully if everything goes right we’ll have our first issue in a month or two. If not, well, I guess then there won't be a magazine from us. I don't know, time will tell. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope there will be an update from the progress of this little project of ours.

P.S: The picture has nothing to do with anything. I just liked it and thought of putting it up.
