However much I complain that life isn't this great all the time, I'm still glad it's this way, with its ups and downs, so the high points seem that much higher...Those little things that make life good - those two or three bands that you've listened to for countless years, but still sound as new and vital as they did the first time you heard them. When they come on on shuffle, you realize that, and it makes you stop what you're doing. That life-afirming moment you realize your hangover's stopped. Post-hangover euphoria. The first bite of that hungover fried egg sandwhich. Coppella apple juice is actually like life support during hangovers. Can you tell I had an interesting night last night?
Royal wedding guys!! Such an excuse to be strangely happy. So we all know it's utterly without a point, but does love technically have a point? Nope. And for something so pointless, it's interesting, and surprising, to see how the public reacts to it - there's a practical-minded minority that are against the fuss, but a good many of us have found ourselves getting in the spirit. I like to think that says something about how, when it comes down to it, people really are willing to celebrate something as simple as another's happiness. I for one am wishing Wills & Kate a joyful and lengthy marriage x
Currently Listening to: Your Fake Name is Good Enough For Me - Iron &Wine
Letters to the Metro - Mogwai (yes, I finally got that album)
Ladder Song - Bright Eyes (great, but not as good as early, Digital Ash' Bright Eyes!)
Majorly Listening to: SINGItForJapan - MCR
Born This Way - Lady Gaga
These ^ are the two best feel good save the world songs I have heard in a very, very long time. I would really like to see Gaga getting some good rock bands as her support on her next tour, as much as I doubt it's ever going to happen. She thinks she's a pop star but she's such a rock star...
Oh, and happy easter, haha x
The only thing that makes William "royal" is his birth, without that he's just another rich posh boy.
ReplyDeleteHe hasn't earned his place in society he's been gifted it through birth, by being born into a family who is by it's very nature is a reactionary, racist, bigoted institution.
Unlike most countries, parents in Britain can't tell their children that they can grow up to be the head of state and symbol of the nation.
This wedding was basically the rich elite saying to the rest of us: "We're having a wedding and you're paying. You're not invited. Now run along and have a nice street party. There's a good peasant."
Ultimately, this wedding was one part of the establishment making propaganda for the other.
no liam, you jealous peasant, get that stick out of your arse and be a little more romantic for a change.
ReplyDeleteor in more intellectual terms, you should realize that no one actually gives a shit about the monarchy because they have no power. so live and let live please.
lol you know me, I believe in romanticism more than anyone, but I don't need a wedding from an elitist institution to bring it out in me.
ReplyDeleteAnd 25% of the population are republicans, and the way they've been hounded down recently is disgraceful for democracy - it's a legitimate opinion to believe that anyone who has the power to dissolve Parliament should have earned that right.
Live and let live? it's the monarchy that stops people from doing that, the people are clearly not sovereign as long as not only the monarchy exists, but other elitist institutions of power, say for instance the House of Lords.
