Tea

Yes tea!

I think tea is amazing, I mean come on you whack a tea bag in, bit of sugar, add some hot water, then some milk and then you have this amazing taste of beverage.

What makes tea so special is that there are so many types. You have your own style, some people squeeze the tea bag, some people save the tea bag for another cup, some people put milk in before hot water.

Then your types of tea bags such as PG, Tetleys, Sainsburys one and some more.

The point is tea is amazing and you should really sit down and take a nice refreshing sip of tea, inhale its fumes and then look at it and think what an amazing. I have just had a really nice cup of tea that is different from mine and it really hit the spot.

Go make yourself a cuppa!

The Matrix

Have you ever wondered if life is real or just one big computer program?

I never really thought about it as much until i watched the matrix several years ago. What makes it funny is that i think all of us question life and the story about the matrix has some interesting features towards how life could be one big program.

I was outside my work place getting some fresh air and then looked around my surroundings. I look at the tree and this plant and thought that there could be codes executing like if the wind blows it would move, that means the wind would be a program that flowed through the weather program. It is almost like one big Sims world. It freaked me out to think that myself is just one big code, however like many probably feel, i felt that i could not possibly be part of the system because of the way i think.

I love the line taken from Morphius, the matrix is everywhere. It really fucking is if life was a program. Loads of applications just running that was scripted by a programmer. The person who came up with that story probably lost there mind and fell to deep into the rabbit hole if you ask me.

I think its good to question life, however i have always wanted to know why, or what is real. Are vampires real, are ghosts real etc. Again explained in the matrix which is why that story is so powerful.

So am i the one?

Well of course I am, i mean me and Neo are quite similar i guess.

Next time your outside or looking at something, try to imagine e.g. a cup of tea and how it would be programmed e.g. the taste, the smell, the colour, the type etc. Try and compile that in visual basic and you never know.

Old People

It seems that my blog is going to rant about everything that is bad with the world and today's post will follow that up. Now I'm not going to start with old people annoy me as that is un-true, in fact the term old people referring to humans over the age of 60 are actually pretty sweet and can be great to get along with.

What annoys me about them is when they wonder in packs. Like wolves imagine turtles at the pace of 1.3mph, just not good. This is bad when you are on your break from work looking to buy a meal for lunch time and you have to battle your way from zombie fied oldies who purposely stand there looking into the thin air or have a huge pointless conversation about meat.

I actually barged through an old women because i had wasted two minutes dodging granny's. I have to shop in Paignton Tescos for the fact that its the closest to work. The service is mind blowingly crap, most of the workers need customer service skills and can often be seen wondering off or working to the slowest limit possible. My breaks in the morning are technically 15 minutes long. It takes me that time to get in and out of a small shopping store.

What also annoys me is the amount of time there is in a day. Why is it as soon as you assign yourself to dieting your enemy is the clock. You are always trying to make sure you have that shake in time, take those tablets etc. It seems that when you want your own time, there is none.

I have to get up, focus on eating the whole day while working around appointments for work. I get home and have to cook, eat, wait, work out, and then i have a bloody hour before its bed time. What a life!!!

But i guess its better than what i could be doing such as meaninglessly surfing the web and checking updates on Myspace or Facebook hoping i got a comment. Now that's wasting your life away. I wouldn't have cared if i didn't love life as much, i cherish every moment because its mine. I need to do something that gives me a reason to say that day was used. If I'm ill, i hate it because Ive sat there being ill and not achieving anything.

I'm sure that once I'm old, that will become my life, illness.

Parking

Today i watched a traffic warden outside of my work place. The warden checked his watch like he was going to get a big reward and was on the lookout for anyone ready to enter the car.

When he saw the time was right he created the valid ticket that single handily pisses people off and whacked it on the screen.

Now this car must have been there for an hour which is why it was issued. The car is outside a place that cares for the elderly yet that parking space must only be held for an hour.

I got hit with a ticket several months ago on the street i live and tried to fight the case. What annoys me is the councils disclaimer towards why they have parking time restrictions. The council claim that this allows the flow of traffic to flow through and that it benefits us all.

Now to some degree i believe some of that is true. If people parked there and never moved, I guess we could never get a space. However it seems that everywhere you go there is no where to park "free" because there are to many yellow lines or over priced car parks.

What ever happened to just parking where you live!? I cant park at mine because there are no spaces so I'm only lucky if i find a space 4 blocks away from mine.

Something needs to be done but with the councils mind and useless actions, i see little point to shout my opinion across. I was once told that if you did not voice yourself then nothing would be done. That's all fine if you didn't have a bunch of over paid mindless old fools who would rather do things there way than to listen to what the people really want.

Maybe this is my way of rebelling to the system, but it has to be said that those with power do fuck all when it comes to helping the real issues. I laughed when they invested money in helping the homeless etc. About 38% of the population give a toss about them, the rest want whats best for the community. How about helping the middle people for once rather than just the poor.

In robin hood, the rich was well off, the poor were poor but got rich by taking the rich on. The middle stayed the same and to this day moaned like i do.

Like anyone can actually afford to pay off a parking ticket these days as well!
