Don’t mind me, I’ve just been pissy of late.
- Notably, I don’t have any money so I’m extreeemely stressed about buying shit for everyone because I simply can’t afford to.
- I also don’t have any money because I’ve greater expenditure than than what I’m makediture. This is an on-going problem with my inability to market myself with any regard for my own well-being.
- Also reading the news has given me the feeling the world’s turning into a really terrible place.
- Copenhagen has become somewhat of a farce, and has already failed before it’s even finished. Australia plays a big part in this failure, and it’s embarrassing watching our leader parade around the stage as if he’s doing something noble.
- Australia’s mandatory ‘net censorship scheme — despite a report to the contrary — has been deemed a success by everyone’s least favourite minister Conroy. We can expect heavy handed censorship introduced to parliament as early as 2011. The whole thing stinks of foul play, but nobody in the government seems to care.
- Rwanda and Uganda are both introducing laws to criminalise homosexuality; in the latter case with punishment of execution. This is the result of the good evangelical (or “humanitarian” — you decide) work of a number of American churches, of whom few have actually had the guts to stand up against it. The BBC asks “Should homosexuals face execution?” and the result; “If that is the democratic will of the people, so be it!”
- Copyright law is also turning to shit; Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and, well, the entire world seems to be collaborating on criminalising even thinking about thinking about copyright. Apparently what you do in the privacy of your own home between two consenting adults ought to be subject to notice and takedown and imprisonment, it’s completely fucked. I’ve made steps toward joining the Pirate Party because I’m sick and tired of new law treating average people like criminals so that a rich few can get richer.
As a result I’ve been feeling depressed at the world outlook and would very much like to pack a suitcase and move to a nice cave with a can of Mortein several thousand years in the past where I can be left to my own devices and not feel like a piece of shit for merely existing.
- I haven’t been getting enough sleep because I’ve been too busy blogging (or not blogging, most nights.) Also I’ve been woken up early an awful lot which is my own problem.
And I think now that I’ve written all of these things down, I can let them out of my head so I can get a good nights sleep and feel better in the morning. I think I’m just in a shitty place right now, and I’m not helping myself by giving a damn about the world. If I were an evil genius I would have devised a plot to destroy the entire lot of it by now, but I guess I’ll just not do that and feel helpless at it instead — that’ll show everybody.
