Revise

Exams. Ouch I hate that word. Yeah I won’t shouldn’t be writing much because I will should be revising for my GCSE examinations which are rapidly descending on me (end of May!). Detesting revision, or school in general, doesn’t really help with it either – hence the MSN Nickname: “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” – Mark Twain

Brief update because I hate seeing my website with the same posts for too long, I watched 30 days: Minimum Wage with Morgan Spurlock yesterday. It’s good to see that (some) people are (finally) opening their eyes to the situation in what are said to be ‘rich countries’. Funny that we are yet to see 30 Days: Living poverty. Perhaps he wouldn’t actually live through that one? I think it’s really good that someone is actually going out of their way to prove to the world that look – we are actually too selfish. Whilst we are living our lives in our mansions and whatever, people are out there (like literally out the door) barely making it on a day to day basis. In general what I’ve seen of Morgan Spurlock’s programs I have been impressed. There is an average American who isn’t just making a single point, he’s attacking society in the places which desperately need to be consulted, and he’s doing it using the most powerful tools – the media. I’ve also seen 30 Days: McDonald’s and that was (almost) shocking. In all honesty what amazes me most is how people (in general) hear, watch, see these things and yet refuse to act on it. “We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.” – Plato

On another front, went bike riding with some friends today and that was nice. Whoever said you can’t cycle through a public footpath on a golf course? Specifically, we purposely got lost and had a fun time speeding down dirt tracks (all public footpaths) and then we end up at some golf club. The sign says public footpath so we start going down it and some woman who is just playing golf i.e. she has no power to do anything, comes up to us and says you can’t come down here. She points in some random direction and says the ‘public’ footpath is thatta way. Excuse my randomness but come on! Also sorry about the overuse in brackets, just a phase. Oh no. This sounds like a BLOG now!

Update: I just watched Loose Change 2nd Edition, if you want to know the truth about what happend on 911, I highly recommend it. Oh and its sunny outside (in Manchester!)
