The study room blues

Sat in the college study room, attempting some long overdue essays, I can't keep my mind from wandering. So I'm back to the blog.

A busy term has meant that not a single blog has been posted since the start of October; and with Christmas and New Year dawning, and then the start of exam season, the literate drought seems set to continue.

According to popular opinion, the world is planning on ending in 2012. To those of you believing this, I'd like to offer some words of encouragement.

"Get some perspective"

For one, when you're still around in 2013, hung-over on new years day, remembering how badly Great Britain did in the olympics; moreover, how terribly we hosted it, you'll realise it was a farce. A farce that has been tried every year since the dawn of philosophy.

Secondly, even if it were to happen, what could you do about it? Short of designing a bio-dome system and migrating to a distant constellation, there's not much that you can do to avoid your demise. And so why waste your precious 3 years worrying?

Is there anything in the world now that doesn't have a group on facebook?
Some of may favourite idiotic groups have included the ridiculous "Skip school day" and "If X number of people join, I will name my son Batman", for which I have seen no evidence, despite gaining double the required number of members. The most stupid and absurd group so far, however, was "If 1,170,000 people join, my girlfriend will marry me." After a million people, this group was closed down after the blokes girlfriend, along with two other people in his friend list with the same name, recieved inordinate amounts of hate mail from pathetic facebook users.

"If one million monkeys were given a computer, they would eventually write out the entire works of shakespeare." It's safe to say that the internet has proved this untrue.
