for me that sums up the difficulty of modern life.
Those of us who have mercifully escaped the madness of religion have been cursed with the madness of rampant individualism.
we know how we should look but those of us who are emancipated know that it is only how we should look not how we want to.
although of course the should becomes compulsion enough to feel like a want.
who doesn't really deep down want to be at work in their penguin pyjamas?
how do we display or even keep our precious individuality in the world we find ourselves in?
THAT is the question.
ps.
the MATCH is the famous clothheads v jtlch match.

Not when the word is singular.
"The Broncos are" is proper.
"The Saints are" is proper.
"The Avalanche is" is proper.
"Liverpool is" is proper.
"Canada is" is proper.
Maybe it's the difference between English and American grammar.
Just fucking with you, big head.
How's the wife? Good, I hope.

==============
Liverpool are a city in England.
Liverpool are where the Beatles were from.
LIverpool are a center of industry.
Liverpool are Apollo's home town; too bad he sucks at grammar.
.....
Hang in there, fathead, you'll be an American yet. ..

i read today that moths, after their grub phase where they just stuff themselves with food, don't eat at all. they devote themselves entirely to mating, apparently.

Bullshit. A totally objective and scientific study conducted by the naphthalene industry proved moths eat clothes.

Fuck you. I had a tenner riding on the reds with a work colleague that they would win by 2 clear goals.
In the Euro games, I'll always root for the English side, despite my Chelsea alliance. But for the Kop to go through now, not only does it mean they have to win the last 2 group games, they have to rely on Fiorentina fucking up.
I'm drunk, so I may have got the maths wrong, but that's what it seems like.
And more important than the 10 spot I'll have to (grudgingly) hand over tomorrow, I'm more concerned about the fifty quid I've got hanging with ladbrookes on an all English final.
Gerrard is rich, he doesn't need a groin anyway. PAH!

i didn't understand the math involved in these questions.
on a side note, rafa is on his way out and the reds are fucked for any chance at playing in the champions league next year.

This +2 is strictly for being a fan of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Other than that, this post is unintelligible shit, as usual.

I wouldn't want to be at work in my penguin jimmers. They'd become routine and every day.
Some things just shouldn't be used every week, like penguin jim-jams, lucky underpants and Jamie Carragher.

I say this because I've recently found an online questionaire that is here to help us determine who has aspergers. Apparently, I do. According to this online (faultless!!!) quiz.
But really, even if I DONT, which I dont, it's scary to see how many of my personality quirks are common among an entire group of people. They aren't even quirks!

We are all just a product of our chemically controlled brains, so who cares who wears penguin pajamas?

actually, the fact of BEING a receptionist, at age 45, is more of a challenge, in some ways, than beard trimming.
for a while - after the initial novelty wore off - i was rather dismayed by it
i felt like a LOSER
i felt in need of status. perhaps it makes sense to obtain status, i thought. pehaps that is the way to go.
lately, i have persuaded myself that i am a charming eccentric
(perhaps, though, this is just another form of status)
there is a theory that all of us, in our essential primordal state, are relaxed and happy and as clear and perfect as the surface of a mirror
i am trying to persuade myself of this as well
it seems to be quite a good policy
it means you don't have to construct fragile cardhouses in the futile hope that you can climb up them away from your repulsive fearful true self
instead, you just try and clear all the muck away to reveal the beauty that was there all the time
or even better, just observe the muck clearly, and by doing so, it dissappears.

at first, due to the distorting effect of the water, i thought he (or she) might have been some sort of badly injured seal
but moving cautiously closer, his (or her) stingray-ness became clear
i retreated, thinking of the crocodile hunter
although i sensed no ill-will from him or her
i read today that moths, after their grub phase where they just stuff themselves with food, don't eat at all. they devote themselves entirely to mating, apparently.
ps - the stingray was wearing pyjamas
