A comment I left on a friend's journal.

I had to rant a little about religion, given that it is indeed the season. With so many people enjoying the solstice period in their own unique ways (the majority getting pissed and stuffed full of food) it was after a long period of no sleep and one-too-many glasses of Pepsi that this came tumbling from my brain, through my fingers, to leap onto the internet.

In my view:

A religion is a psychological manifestation of a belief in the supernatural and/or metaphysical, herein defined as 'quantum'; which is in and of itself, not a bad thing. A religion as defined by society is a codex of various moral guidelines, dogma and ritual with an adherence to the subject of my first statement. As with anything that is dictated via the stark and impartial means of words on a page, it is for the most part purely subjective and open to personal interpretation. This would mean that it is inherently flawed, or indeed a good thing to aspire towards; in equal measure.

Do you truly believe that you need to use the belief in a series of values prescribed by the forerunners of an ancient society or a belief in the (frankly debatable) existence of theological entities to justify or supplant your own moral and ethical values? The question is for you, and you alone, to answer, as everybody has their own means of comfort.

My religion is that of myself; a constant quest for greater knowledge and skills taken at my own pace, forever changing, always under scrutiny and subject to change at the drop of a hat. It could be called science, as I am always searching for knowledge and understanding.

I tend to call it life.


So keep on living as you would. Give it a moment's thought or none at all. Most of all, though?

Realise the potential you have, as what you are, and what you can become. You're all good people.

Enjoy your life.

Fuck off, Lloyd's...

I'm fed up with opening letters telling me that due to slipping out of my overdraft limit by 10p, I'm being charged £6 for the day and £10 for the month; which I can't afford. So then the charges increase drastically, day by day, month by month, and I can't pay my way out.

The debt is spiralling, I currently have no income, no job. Business collapsed and I almost failed uni back in May because of all that shit, along with various other things going on at the time. My claim for JSA is on hold, and the appointments at Citizen's Advice are booked up until mid-October. I've sold everything worth something except for a single bass guitar, which I need in case I get a job playing bass, an option I'm currently holding out for as one employer seemed quite enthusiastic. That all comes to naught in the face of money worries though.

I just want to run away.
EDIT: As an aside, my 23rd birthday was fun. >.>

One of the sheeple

One of the guys who comes into the shop got me hooked on Twitter. FUUUUUUUUCK. twittertwats: mousefag

Nothing much of note has happened. Been VJing quite a lot, my cashflow has dried up, going to Eurofurence (lol bye money), discovered that eeePC 2G wasn't made to have a decent OS installed on it so I've kept [info]bloodbeauty waiting for ages: sorry!

Had my dissertation research on plant biomusic hit a massive brick wall until a lovely French Canadian fella, Maxime Rioux, told me of the experiments he'd been doing with his automatons hooked up to a plant responding to various stimuli, which has got me started in an email dialogue with him. The thought of starting an academic journal for that kind of thing hasn't passed me by completely, but wondering if it's a worthwhile idea or not has kinda stopped me in my tracks. Would enough people be interested? I'm sure if I did it, time would tell. Lord knows finding things about biomusic is hard enough as it is.

Anyway, there's some cold pizza and a few fags to have before bed, and it looks to be another early start tomorrow. Eek! Looks like I'm gonna be lavishing my blog with some care and attention in the coming weeks, either that or I'll ignore the fucking thing again.

Sickness update!

I got admitted into hospital on Wednesday night, they did loads of tests and stuff in the wee small hours of Thursday. My lumbar puncture took 17 attempts due to the mess my AS has made of my lumbar vertebrae, CT scan, etc. I can't really walk at the moment -.-

Basically, all the headaches I've been having they think are caused by meningitis. Yay. I have to wait until the three teams of doctors and consultants stop arguing about whats wrong with me before I can have a diagnosis >.<

And I bought a MacBook. >.>;

I love everyone this month, too. :D
