( )in the place where i have what it takes июня 04 damn The Man!Yes, this is shell's latest hypocritical rant against the government/media. It's funny how some issues just turn my head but I can barely give a shit about most other things, even important stuff (okay, especially important stuff), BUT i'm vegetarian now (meat is murder lawl) so that means I have the freedom to be as condescending as I like. Anyways...
I think it is completely lame of the news to bring up obesity in relation with world hunger in the poorer parts of the world. It’s completely true, don’t get me wrong, and it sickens me often that this is the case, but couldn’t the same be said about any luxury we enjoy by living in the most powerful countries and continents in the world. We have fast food chains, yet there is starvation in some parts of the world, we have fucking dirty products like cheese in a can and microwave hamburgers, yet there is starvation in some parts of the world. Just because they’re both food-related and obesity is easy to attack, doesn’t mean this issue needs to be highlighted constantly. If it does, why not do a series? The longest series in existence. We have an overly extravagant, convenient health care system, yet there are people dying from things that we could cure by walking down to our local chemist. People are able to get older and older through heavy government funding, yet there are sizeable collection of people whose average lifespan is less than your average domestic dog. We have televisions, yet some people don’t have houses. Our kids get drunk and fucked up on drugs, go to school, get jobs, yet some kids become head of the household at age eight. Do you… do you see where I’m going with this? Just leave us alone dickheads, supply and demand works both ways, so quit your whining and count the money you make every day from it.
...DAMN THE MAN!
xo. мая 09 nothing, what's a motto with you?Yep, it's a blog. I owe one to Darc so here it is.... well, technically I owe her one FOUR MONTHS AGO but that's beside the point.
Anywho, this method has worked in the past so I'm gonna do it again because it's easy and if nothing else is obvious about me, this
is - i like easy. So here it is - Shell's life, star-sign stylexor:
Work
This has turned out to be a mental fucking job, let me tell you. I've seen everything you can imagine, from a mother trying to sell
their own son, to two paedophiles talking about, in depth, what they actually do to their children. A guy threatened to blow up our
office. One user has more than 30 different accounts and each one has its own personality.
There's also a guy who lives in the area I work, affectionately named 'crazy cowboy guy', because yes, he's crazy and the way he
demonstrates this is by thinking he's a cowboy, dressing like a cowboy and pretending to fire pistols at random moments. He's there
all night sometimes.
On the whole it's strange in itself. The forced sociality of being all jammed in one room makes the whole thing very, very highschool.
Very fake and gossipy, makes you feel mental and trapped and bored as hell. More often than not it's shit, but on several upsides I've
made a few friends, so that's good, I got a pay rise to 22 an hour and for some strange reason, I haven't copped any shit for how bad
a worker I am. Not one tiny bit of shit, it's insane, because I am b-a-d at this job. Absolutely terrible... lol.
Love
Pfft. Given up on the whole thing. I couldn't get a guy if I tried, and I can't even be arsed trying 'cause the whole thing just seems... I
dunno, so not worth it. Bill Hicks planted the seeds of thought - that it's possible that I don't even have to get married and have kids,
then my own paranoia made me think of how so many people end up fucked up, no matter what the parents do, so I was thinking why
the hell would I want to put another one of us on here, particularly when life is just getting worse for humans as time goes by. Then I
saw Ben Elton's 'Maybe Baby' and got totally disgusted by the whole big mess. So yeah, not romantic, don't care, the only way I appreciate
men on a different level to women is in an aesthetic sense. Although I do love humans as a whole, so that is something.
Life/Drugs (no longer mutually exclusive terms in Shell World!)
I've come to realise that i am incredibly, incredibly young and if I don't want to go to uni yet, I don't actually have to in order to become
complete. My life isn't on hold because I am learning every day, I am constantly having exellent experiences with my friends and by
myself. Ideas fill my head all the time. I am nearly always completely content. I'm actually happy. I attribute some of this to Bill Hicks,
whose teachings I have genuinely adopted as a religion (I'll talk about it in the Religion part), but also the big 'D' word, which cured me
of everything ugly in my heart and soul... shit, I just realised I haven't made a joke in a long time... ah well. Anyway, stamps, panadol,
herb... it's not like i have them constantly, I'm not a complete moron. The fact of the matter is though, they had a 100% POSITIVE effect
in my life and I am now CONSISTENTLY and UNFAILINGLY happy. And I know there's nothing wrong with that.
People/Family
My friend group has gotten even smaller than it was before, but again I love them even more. I actually had no idea for a while that Tris
was actually one of the coolest people around, turns out he is though, and he has a few neat friends I can borrow when i go to his place.
Me and Em are heaps closer, I think, as are me and Maciej (thanks D-word for that again, if you please), and I've got this secret plan where
I pretend to be a supportive sort of sibling, only because when they become rich and famous from all their awesome art I can leech off them.
Religion
Hicksian, as I mentioned earlier. What I interpreted from his words was this: we are all one, connected by simply being human, and also by
God, who is love, who's devotion is endless and unwavering no matter what we do, and he exists inside of every single being on this planet.
He also taught me that you can both love and hate where you come from, you don't have to choose. You can hate all the ugly parts of the
world if you want to, while still loving all the beautiful parts, that doesn't lessen the strength of love you can feel in your heart, nor does it
lessen God's love for you.
Lol, man, I almost didn't post this. It sounds so preachy and a bit gay. But oh well, at least now you know what I'm about now. ish.
XO shell.
февраля 12 please, forgive meFret not at the melancholy title, my few readers, I am merely blogging for one of three of my usual reasons: one of course being my general bitchy spiels, another being a pointless list of some kind, and the last, the one I am doing now: shameless plugging. and unkle is my goal!
I have never, in my life, gotten so deeply enraptured with an album after such a short time as I have with 'War Stories'. I recommend you download the whole album, because it all works so fantastically together. It boasts one single, 'Burn My Shadow', not only one of the more thrilling tracks in their eclectic collection, but the music video is epic. I suggest you youtube it, especially you film students out there. It's probably one of the most intense things I've ever seen.
When I listened to the less-preferred album 'Psyence Fiction', I was taken on quite an odd journey. The tracks are less complimentary to one another, which lends the album a jolting charm which I only previously associated with Gotye's 'Like Drawing Blood'.
By the end of both albums, though, I realised that the entire variety of songs they perform are, either coincidentally or not, remarkably similar to many of my favourite artists. Moby, Radiohead, Faithless, Massive Attack and Depeche Mode's newer works (Ultra and Playing the Angel) seemed to be their more technical influences, particulary in their heavier tracks. VAST, Editors, Radiohead (again), New Order and Gotye have adopted a similar style of lyric and singer, although unlike those three and more in the style of Sigur Ros and Elliott Smith, the lyrics seem to support the music rather than vice versa in most songs. Aside from those few specific observations, the album's production often reminds me of TOOL and Queens of the Stone Age in how artfully they are arranged.
Overall, I'd say unkle are a combination of mild trance and dark pop, but they don't really seem to own any particular genre, like how Trent Reznor owns industrial or how Brian Molko owns emo. I couldn't predict anyone, besides myself (because I have the advantage of being able to read my own mind) liking this band as speedily and as intensely as I do. All I can do is write this over-long and overblown review and hope that someone buys/downloads 'War Stories'. Or at least watches 'Burn My Shadow' on youtube.
Now *claps* wake up, you fool! It's over.
xo.
января 24 and so on...So yeah, Heath Ledger hey? Who saw that coming? Not me. I'm surprisingly not humourous about the whole thing. I think he was one of the coolest celebrities around right now. 10 Things I Hate About You, awesome, Candy, gah, and he did Brokeback, for fuck's sake, and you know he's just going to kick ass in the new Batman movie by being beautifully fucked-up Joker in it . So I think he deserves a bit of respect. His death alone just made me sick hearing it, but the media coverage has made me furious. Even Anna Nicole Smith, the greasiest tart ever to die, was given positive and solemn respect in the early days after her death, only later doing 'shock expose!'s. It was the same with Princess Di. Now why is it we have his family on one hand, saying he died peacefully in his sleep or some such rubbish, and on the other hand, the media saying frank and grotesque things about the state in which his body was found, before said body is even off the autopsy table.

Remember people, this fucking sucks. Act like it at least a little bit.
xo. октября 19 I'm your Passenger...What's going on with me, you ask? (hehe)
List stylexor
1. Work is pretty boring. And hectic. I coped with this today by having a cone for lunch. In regards to monitoring it makes me pretty useless for about an hour, then madly efficient for the last 2 hours. I've tried different times (you know, so I get the useless part out the way before I start modding), but it only really works in that way. I shouldn't expect anything else, really, it's not like I'm taking speed, right?
2. Along with the 'Gave Up' remix (NIN) and 'Can't Make a Soud' (Elliott S.), I've discovered that 'Passenger' by Deftones is awesome when you change the speed. Slow it down, and it's got a beat that you can slowly nod along to and get into. And 'cause the song's so awesome, the fact that it increases the length by about a third because of this is great too.
3. The show 'Dexter' is pretty much the best. I'm eternally grateful to Jesse for burning it for me. For those of you who don't know, the gist is this: made by 'Six Feet Under' guys and also containing the gay brother from that. He plays the main character; a serial killer named Dexter. However you feel about that, let me assure you: he does a fucking good job. The whole thing is like a cross between 'American Psycho' and 'Veronica Mars', but with science! The whole package is great, so watch it if you can.
4. There's this smell in my room that reminds me of fresh mac and cheese. It's made me crave mac and cheese for about a million years or so, but I'm a bit worried about what it is, because things that make cheese smells without the help of cheese are usually never good, but yeah... I want mac and cheese.
5. I'm ill again, but this time it's flu. Cough and snot and all sorts of wonderfully similar things. I'm anticipating coughing blood any day now.
xo. октября 14 Jokers to the Left of Mealoha all (meaning darc and anyone who gets pissed of by that throbbing flower thing when someone updates their msn space). Since the last two weeks weren't really as good as I thought they'd be, meaning not better than some parts of hell/the movie Eragon, I thought I'd make an interesting change in my blog and try focus on the good rather than the bad. So here are some highlights of the last couple of weeks:
- A week off work, which was special... in its own way. I'm about to go to my first shift since ooh, not last Fiday but the Friday before. Too bad I had to have a HIDEOUSLY PAINFUL AND DISGUSTING DISEASE FOR 3/4'S OF THE FUCKING TIME. Okay, no more complaining after that.
- A party at mine. I did like seeing all of you, it was great. Ballroom dancing with Em, Maks and Darc to to Gotye's 'Learnalilgivinanlovin' was a highlight, as well as getting drunk in general for the first time in a while, so really it was fine EXCEPT THAT NONE OF YOU HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR ME OR MY PERSONAL PROPERTY - SILVER DECORATION BALLS ALL OVER OUR RELATIVELY NEW KITCHEN FLOOR, WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE IS THAT!? FUCK, AND THAT'S ONLY THE BEGINNING! Okay, done.
- Weed. I know I sound like a crackhead, or one of my boys (maks, kc, jesse etc), but weed is the best. It cures everything (heh), and it's such a social drug. I loved sharing it around at my party UNTIL SOME ASSHOLE HID IN MY ROOM AND SMOKED THE REST OF IT, JUST BEFORE MY SPINE PAIN PEAKED AND I REALLY NEEDED IT! Who am I kidding? I'm going to continue in this format.
- So much That 70's Show. It's so damn good, no angry caps for this!
- MANSON! (yep, this was the last day of my two weeks) He's a fucking God. Seeing him live realy makes me want to like him more, musically, because I'm in love with him as a performer. I love that he looked like just being on stage was turning him on. He talked to us, blew kisses at us, went into the mosh pit numerous times (which was tame as, the stands were dancing more (we were in it haha)), and when he said "The drugs, they say, are made right here in Perth" in Dope Show, I got a bit light-headed. Really a great night.
xo. сентября 11 The CrungeSay, losers, where's my freaking coat? It's a huge wool charcoal-coloured one, and it's big on me (so look out for coat-like things that could substitute for a medium-sized tent), I just realised I actually do own this coat and where the fuck is it? Some people might remember buying it with me... I got it from Good Sammies and it has a little gold chain on the inside of the collar... seriously, someone better have it, it's awesome and I want it back! Did I lend it to someone? Even if you've seen it recently but don't know where it is now, tell meeeee. Coat season is almost over and I've only worn three different coats! COATS ARE MY THING! COOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAT!!!
