America!
You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.
You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.
You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.
You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.
You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.
You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.
You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans...oh hell no.

Dubstep, really?
Seems to have taken the country by storm. Time after time it comes up everywhere I go now. Whether it be a band trying to make a come back, they find that the only appealing way to vote for the crowd is by placing this lucrative piece of shit in it. Took this new movement at face value and accepted it's not my type of music, but when I see the grasp of rock and roll being eliminated, I can't help but feel like humanity is losing its sanity.
After hearing dubstep for the first time, I genuinely believed it was a band, which is why I gave it the benefit of the doubt in sounding the same. But seems bands I once liked have taken this route. Although I was young, I must admit Korn were right up my street. But their new material have this crap installed, I mean come on! That's like Kim Jong-il deciding that democracy's a great idea.
This time a month ago, I was working the Plymouth fresher's ball as photographer, and during my break I went for a waltz to see what was going on. Seems they'd invited some 'talent' from America to perform. The only thing that bemused me was, the layout of a 'live' dubstep show. For instance, when you go see a live band playing, you see them at their freshest and playing on the spot and synchronising as one. But instead there was a massive mixing desk, and some tosser dancing around with a mic in his hand. Not once did he sing, instead he was insulting the crowd telling them "You're all a bunch of c***s".
Sad to say, this new movement was invented by the British. Not one of our greatest moments, I must admit. but seems to be having just an impact as the great British takeover in the 1960's - 1970's. Can't say I was too pleased when Chase and status took it into their own hands and covered Foo Fighters' 'Rope'. If it's not broken, then why fix it?
As a final conclusion on opinions and such on this lucrative and talentless slop, I can happily say that; Dubstep = shit. It's an immutable mathematical constant.

Things happen for reasons.
As any person can agree - teenage angst is the bane and misery of anyone's life. Seems that to myself I have clouded myself in this illusion when life takes the rug from beneath my feet I find it hard to stand again. We must all, however come to realise that the universe works incognito with cogs. For every action, there is a reaction. Example you might ask?
Recently, me and my previous girlfriend have gone our separate ways, to me this seemed I had reached the brick wall of my life; things have all come to an end. However, having recently ascended from rock bottom you realise the universe does place things for an unknown cause. Seemed to me thy had a sick trick in their cards in play for me next. But how wrong I was. Seems since she's left, my mind has never really been clearer. I've had different opportunities for job prospects, now my time belongs only to me. I've got my own car. You do however place yourself in some realm of disbelief when something like this takes place, to fill that empty void. Perhaps that void had always been empty while I was committed? Seems she was never really the one for me. I now stand at a crossroad, to sell my self respect or build the foundation to excel in everything I wish to succeed in. Life might get you down by taking things that you hold dear to you, but never take that for granted. Now that I've finished my mini sob story, I can now begin posting real things... Like tragedies that take place across the world... and stuff.
