Since I have spent a good deal of it throwing up. Germs, I hate you! I know you can never actually help being ill but I mean how inconvienient is it when you really need to go out and do stuff eh? Life denies you the funniest of things sometimes! Well I'm in work today and I feel a lot better so I guess that's a good thing.

I'm off to a friends wedding in Ireland on Thursday which promises to be pretty good. I've never been to a wedding in Ireland before so I have no idea what to expect. Apparently the band don't come on till quite late in the night but we've been told that so long as they're kept in beer they will play for as long as it's flowing in there direction. Cool.

The below is stolen from the B3ta newsletter but I just thought it was so great I had to post it here! I usually catch Jools Holland but for some reason I have no recollection of this one, probably far to mashed heh!

Unlike many of the current kids I was actually around for Nirvana the first time. I do laugh when I am work and I see little 18yr old EMO's with Nirvana t-shirts on. It was 15 years ago kids and YOU were 3 years old so I'm not so sure you were with the mosher crew then. It's only now that I understand why my Dad used to laugh at me when I said I loved Hendrix, The Doors and the like! - I think the reason I laugh so much about the EMO's is that when I was a mosher/crustie and we all looked DIFFERENT, that was part of it; but these days the EMO's all look the SAME. Far from unique, far from rebellious because they are the TREND. How anarchic that you sit at your PC taking shots of yourself looking so sad and unhappy with hair cuts that are from the 80's. All you EMO's just moan about how you're not understood where we were in everyones face MAKING THEM UNDERSTAND. I was the ONLY guy at my high school to have long hair, as in really I was the only one. Man, how Myspace has so much to answer for...

Term: EMO

A group of white, mostly middle-class well-off kids who find imperfections in there life and create a ridiculous, depressing melodrama around each one. They often take anti-depressants, even though the majority don't need them. They need to wake up and deal with life like everyone else instead of wallowing in their imaginary quagmire of torment.

Emo conversation!
