Slippers

For reasons that aren't interesting, this blog has been updated for what seems like years. This shouldn't be the case forever and there is a reasonabe chance that there'll be more activity around here soon.

"Why does this world have to be like this?" came the plaintive cry of some poor chap that I met the other day.

Well son, let's look at the way things have turned out so far. So far, the human race has gradually, yet continually, evolved into something that - in nature's relative terms - just happens to be rather special. We are what we are today as a result of millions of years of this so-called evolving. Thus, instead try asking "Why has this world always been like this?"

The web counter no longer counts hits on this page. In fact, I'm not sure if it ever counted hits on this site - I haven't been able to check it for months, what with not knowing the password and all.

It's been a very long time since the last time that this blog was updated. Indeed, should any of the sites that I reguarly visit have been 'down' for so long, I would have been screaming blue murder and firing guns and stuff. Fortunately, the same does not apply to this here blog, as - and in line with the fickle ways that popular blogs come and go - I consider it to be a positive asset that there have been no entries for the last couple - nay half a dozen - months. The reason for such slack is that the regular (and, you'll be glad to hear only) author of said entries has been persuing an entirely different form of written media. It is in my interests as well as yours that I do not go into details around here; but thinking cleverly, there are only a few forms of written media that one has left, once one discounts anything remotely connected to Blogs. I shall allow the reader to guess as to the point of this all.

In other news, there is very little to be said. Britain goes on the same that is has always been doing. I try not to get myself mixed up in politics - not because I can't be bothered, not because I think that I'm superior to all that ballsing, but for the simple reason that some people know what their doing in said academic field, and most (and I humbly put myself in this bracket) don't. So it was with considerable surprise that a few months ago, I found the local students to be taking part in a National march against the wrongs of - wait for it - the war in Iraq. I had cause to wander why they weren't smacking people up and complaining about top-up fees; the publicised reason as to why Students these days aren't happy with their lot. At this stage I must point out that there appears to be a minutely small percentage that some students these days are quite content with the way life treats them. Well, I'm sure they are (in medical terms) responding well to their treatment, and will be back on the streets in no time.

From all this one might surmise that the beloved (I use such words sparingly, and feel guilty whenever I do) author does not like students - nothing of course could be further from the truth. I love 'em.

More to follow.
