Why Do We Exist?

Existence. The bane of mankind. It allows everyone to do random crazy things that shouldn't really happen, both logically and morally. Unless, of course, there are no such things as morals (coming up soon hopefully), at which point the latter half of that statement is garbage.
So, I'm prone to the occasional existential crisis, most notably on Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland Paris. This can be a pain, and thankfully, I have been crisis-free for a while. However, it doesn't stop me from having the destructive urge to stop existing (not that I've attempted anything suicidal yet) sometimes. Sometimes, I just wish for it all to go away, and let me avoid all the complicated things involved in living, like feeding yourself, being socially acceptable and keeping a roof over your head. So far, I've only had to attempt to be socially acceptable, but I'm still terrified for when the future comes along and I have to juggle all my responsibilities and attempt to maintain a certain level of happiness.
The future is a dick.

'Can't be bothered'

So, I have a friend, and when she is too lazy to do something, she says either "effort" of "can't be asked". Firstly, the phrase is supposed to be 'Can't be arsed'. And even though I have told her on numerous occasions that she is saying it wrong, she doesn't explain why if I ask her. She just says something along the lines of 'I just do'. Which is really freakin' annoying. I mean, since when is that a decent answer?! It should be something like, 'That's how I grew up saying it, and I'm now in the habit of saying that' or 'It pisses you off.'
Secondly, she does this with most things. I once asked her if she watched anime, and she said no. I asked her why, and she said that she didn't like reading subtitles. Well, that's perfectly reasonable. I just asked her why, because I never understood why, and she said either "effort" or "cba". Come on... This is one of the reasons she gets on my nerves.
She is a self-admitted lazy person, but when you can't be bothered to read subtitles, it's gone too far. If you can't concentrate on both the subtitles and what's happening on screen, then that makes perfect sense. If you prefer to just get lost in the action, then that also makes sense. But can't be bothered. I mean, jeez. That's ridiculous. Come on world...

Emos, Death Metal and Misconceptions

So, I would count myself as an emo. I class an emo as someone who listens to a certain genre of music and dresses the correct way. Not that there is a 'correct' way to dress, but you know what I mean. I would say that an emo listens to rock music (and anything like metal and upwards) and dressed in darker clothes (blacks and greys). (Also, by the way DAMN YOU AMERICAN SPELLING OF GREY!!!!!!!!) Emos are misjudged nowadays. Not as much as they used to be, but they still are. People still think we all are emotional train-wrecks, listen to people screaming down a microphone and are all Satan worshippers.
(Quick side-note, The other day, I had someone ask me if I was a satanist. I don't know why. It was on Instagram, so it could have been some of my posts, but I don't actually know. But seriously?!?!?!)
We don't all worship Satan. I don't even believe in any sort of deity, so I couldn't be a devil worshipper, because I don't believe in the devil. We aren't all emotional train-wrecks. I have two friends with depression that I wouldn't class as emos. One is trying hard to be, but failing. I have one who I would say is an emo and has depression. But then there are all the people who don't have depression and are emos. There are an awful lot of them. We don't all self-harm and are not all suicidal.
And then we come to the music side of things. You don't have to listen to screamo/death metal or metal at all to be an emo. You can listen to Panic! At The Disco and still be an emo. P!ATD is pop-rock/pop depending on which song you listen to. What most people perceive as music for emos to listen to is death metal.
Death metal (mainly) consists of death metal screams and death metal growls. Screams are with lyrics and are intelligible, depending on the song, artist and person listening. But the best part is, it doesn't have to be intelligible. You can listen to the feeling in the screams, not the screams as words. It is how a lot of people can roughly understand death metal without understanding the words. Death metal growls are just screamy noises made to put emotion into the song.
People say that death metal is rubbish because you can't understand the lyrics. What song was really big a while ago. Oh yeah... Gangnam style. Could western audiences who didn't understand the lyrics like the song? Hell yes. They loved it. How is death metal any different. Oh, people do it because they can't sing, do they? That's why it's different?
No. It's not. Death metal vocals are hard to get right. Believe me, I have tried. In fact, I am still practicing. There is plenty of skill involved in death metal vocals. Especially if you wish to keep your voice. Death metal is one of the most taxing styles of singing.
But you know what's impressive? Eminem in 'Rap God'. You know what's more impressive? This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAS5Ja0YzT8

ANARCHIC UPDATE!!!!!

So, since I created the blog, I have actually stopped being an anarchist and stopped caring full-stop. It would be interesting to live in an anarchist society, but it wouldn't work. This is because no political system ever works. It's a fact of life. Also, I like wifi too much to live in an anarchist society.
BYEEEEEEE

The Eiffel Tower made me temporarily racist?

MASSIVE DISCLAIMERS!!! ----> I am not racist, I have friends of many different races, but this is just something that happened to me. I am deeply sorry if you are even slightly offended by anything you read hereafter. This may happen. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
So, at the start of June, I went on a school trip to Paris, the supposedly most romantic city in the world, but really, we just saw a lot of goddamn pharmacies. It was very interesting, even through the windows of a coach. Really, if you get the chance to go, go. Just go. Just pack a large lunch and a lot of music. However, there were some rather internally embarrassing moments for me.
When we went to the Eiffel, ou Le Tour D'Eiffel pour tu francais (je suis desole pour mon francais malard), we were warned about what the PGL people called 'lookee lookee men'. Basically, (basically no auto-capitalisation sucks) they would come up to tourists with mini Eiffel towers and trinkets and attempt to sell them. Of course, the whole thing is illegal, as is buying them. But all of them were young black men. I'm not exaggerating. There was not a single female or even white or Asian (or any other race) person doing the same thing. The thing is, we'd also been warned of pickpockets.
And for the rest of that day, I looked around for young black men near me, and checked for my wallet. Now I know that it was stupid, but I did. Needless to say, nothing happened, I returned to England with a lighter wallet - but only because I bought some Nightmare Before Christmas shoes. They're cool.
Now, I need to rant, otherwise my second proper post doesn't work. One of the only issues with the trip was the PGL guy that was looking after us at Chateau du Grand Romain, since he was a patronising asshole.
If there's something that I hate about people more that them being hypocritical and stupid, because I am guilty of both of them on purpose sometimes, it's when people are patronising. People treating others like they're stupid when they know that they're not or before they know them properly makes me really annoyed, because academically, I am/can be quite intelligent. I have been on the receiving end of this before, and although when it's forced, it's funny as all hell, when it's how you are as a person, I want you to crawl into an open grave and die. (No, please don't I was joking. But if you are like that and we meet, prepare for me to be pissed off.) If you don't know the person, treat them like an equal until you actually know what they are like. If they are stupid, feel free to treat them as matches their level of intelligence as long as it doesn't get offensive. If it does, don't let it. Just don't. People who get patronising towards a person before they properly know them are narrow-minded assholes. If you would get off your f***ing high-horse for two seconds and goddamn talk to people normally, you would realise how normal people are not stupid, and it is in fact, you who has been stupid by patronising people. (I would just like to point out that by saying 'you', I am not referring to YOU, the reader, I am using it to explain a thought.)

Britain's Monarchy is Irrevalent

In the modern world, there are many people and corporations that control our lives. The monarchy is one of them. They have a massive – and completely useless - influence upon how we view our little stinking peasant-hole of a country. They are like an ornament that never fits anywhere after moving house. Does it look nice? Maybe in the right circumstances. These circumstances aren't present at the moment.  Is it useful? No. Does it have a purpose anywhere? As such, no. It gets in the way and doesn't do anything useful. This public symbol of England is a relic of another age and is just weighing the already collapsed country down, rather like raging bureaucrats and financial debt.

No matter whether or not they pay taxes, they own a lot of property, too much for one family to use effectively. They have 24 private residences, most of them in groups of ownership (i.e. four owned by one person). Some of these properties aren't even theirs; they just inherited the damn things when they took over the country. This property could be used for the benefit of the people. People living in the urban sprawl often complain that they don’t have the wide open spaces that are good for their health, and that their children are missing out on the fresh, clean air that they - as innocent children - apparently deserve. (It’s a stupid theory if you ask me, but that’s an argument for another time.) The monarchy owns acres of land with marginally cleaner air and wide green spaces that could be given to the public. Now this isn't to say that they don’t deserve their own property, heaven knows, they've done enough useless crap to have earned it, but there is a limit. They have gone past this limit – way past it. They've scrubbed out the limit mark and then done whatever the hell they want. Some people get annoyed if someone owns more than one property as a holiday home. This is a little more extreme and therefore, a little more emotion that plain old indifference is required.

The royal family has crossed the line with what they should control. They take decisions that are not theirs to make. They meet with leaders and sign papers, jobs that are already done by the British government – a useless enough process as it is, when they aren't even chosen to do this. They don’t know the people as well as our fairly elected representative. If someone that has been so out of touch is making decisions, how can we be sure that they are the right ones? They are making decisions on subjects that they don’t know enough about; they are running a country that they don’t know well enough to be considered a normal member of society. They aren't affected by the decisions that they make, so they aren't aware of the more obscure and dangerous consequences of their actions like the public is.  This is not the way that a country is run, it is the way that a street gang is run, one cowardly idiot, managing to stay unharmed and using the other gang members as pawns, getting them killed.

The monarchy is a normal family. There’s nothing special about them, nothing special in their blood that makes them more fit to run the country than the normal family from London, or any other part of England, for that matter. If there was something about them, then everything taught to the younger generations, saying that ‘they can be who they want to be’ and ‘there’s nothing stopping them from being the best’, is all a lie. This sort of betrayal and double standards shows how quickly everything can spiral out of control, into chaos. They have strived to show themselves as more normal than they used to be perceived. The royal family can’t be a special case just because of their upbringing and how their parents acted. If that was true, then we should still be burning witches and shooting deserters because that is what used to happen. Is this an ideal society? No, it is an outdated one with its head too far up its own ass to see the truth.

The monarchy is a relic from another era, just here because of tradition, more than necessity. Other countries achieve more than Britain, and they don’t have another leader slowing them down. America has one absolute leader, and then congress (their version of parliament), and they have achieved more than Britain has so far. They have put multiple people in space and on the moon without help from any other countries. Britain has produced almost nothing productive in the last decade or so. And no, stealing other people’s technology for a different purpose doesn't count. There was a time when Britain was an industrial giant, producing amazing feats of engineering. Now we produce nothing, simply because no-one does enough work, because the country can’t seem to realise how dysfunctional its leaders are. This is because the figures of power in today’s society are just getting in the way. Without the monarchy or government as we know it at the moment, the country might just get its act together and be useful for once in its miserable modern life.

The monarchy is outdated, gluttonous and out of touch with the modern world. There is simply no need for them anymore. In another time, there was a need for them. This decade, however is not that era.  One day, this country will need to take its head out of its ass and see how badly it requires a hot shower and an energy drink after its seemingly perpetual hangover. It is the twenty-first century, and what this country needs is change, otherwise we will spiral out of control and plunge into another dark ages. However, with the amount of idiots around, that might be helpful.

A little about me

I'm a cynic. And a sadist. Now these qualities alone don't make me that extreme. However, the fact that I'm an anarchist makes me almost the world's least favorite type of person. Other than a genocidal lunatic with several nukes.
I'm not a normal anarchist. I am against anyone who is a figure of power and an idiot. Basically, most governments and dictatorships, if not all of them. Their problem is that they lack knowledge of the outside world nowadays. They go straight from university into government without experiencing genuine problems. Now I'm not saying I am an expert in that sort of thing, but they should be. But they're not.
I went from not caring, to being a socialist, and now to an anarchist. I'm not saying that it's a perfect solution. To be honest, I think that it is a dumb thing that we exist at all, but there you go. We do, and people are stupid. I like watching idiots make a fool of themselves because it seems rather like poetic justice to me, that someone stupid did something stupid to themselves. It would be like if someone left everything they owned in an unlocked car overnight and someone came and stole half of it. Yeah sure, someone did something terrible to them, but that doesn't mean I won't laugh hysterically at them for being such a moron.
So yeah, basically what I am going to do here is post my rants and thoughts on people and things they have done. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
