RATM
It’s a little torturous that a band as great as Rage Against the Machine might reform and then not tour or even write new shit. It’d like baking an apple pie and then sealing it in a glass box so that you can only look at the pie without sampling its sugary goodness (Mmmmmm Pie). I suppose I can’t whinge too much as I did get to see them at Reading Festival 2000.
World is only 70 years old
Apparently the history of the whole world only stretches back 70 years, well, according to any tv channel on sky. Paula informs me her great nanna is 96 years old and this is obviously a lie because they have never covered these years on the History Channel.
We subscribe to the Knowledge package from bSKYb in our house which includes the Discovery Channel the the likes and all they ever broadcast is documentaries of World War II and onwards. I suppose it’s the demographics of the average Discovery Channel viewer being Male (women don’t care about facts, they would rather be entertained by women gossiping on a housing estate in Manchester or the goings on in an Accident and Emergncy ward in an American City.) So I figure that the reason that they only show WWII and onwards was because thats when weapons got cool and blokes obviously love guns, fighter jets, rockets, tanks, etc. It’s just a pity that everything everyone has ever done before WWII obviously never happened or is so insignificant that it is not worth documenting by a tv channel.
Waste of a Thursday Night
Thursday’s training session was the most unconstructive and pointless session I’ve participated in since I’ve joined the club. Bareing in mind that I’ve been to training sessions where where there have been under 7 people and to sessions where the floodlights have failed.
The Jr members of the squad requested that they lead the night’s activities which led to a few run-of-the-mill drills then then into games. Whilst I don’t have any qualms about this format (to be honest it’s what usually happens) nobody took anything seriously in the game. I suppose instead of a training session it turned into something equivilant to a football kickaround with the lads which for some reason turned out to be something very boring. Hopefully next week we’ll be back to being shouted at into preforming by one of the more senior members of the squad.
Better things I could have done with my Thursday night:
- Gone and seen yom warmonken.
- Sat home and listened to the girls yap for hours about some over girl that lied about exactly how much over the limit she was when she got done for drink driving.
- Cleaned my office out so it is actually usuable.
- Got drunk.
- Done some decorating
