Writer's Block: Facets of a Hero

2008-06-28T22:00:00Z

What makes a hero?

A hero is someone who does something in the direst circumstances that no-one else is willing to do?

I had this LJ so that I could express myself to the wider world.
It hasn't worked, every time I go to put something up I get a block, doubts and indecision.
So there's no real point in keeping it.
So long my friends, maybe if your really desperate, you'll find me on Facebook.

It's all ajcrowleys fault!!!

Summer of errrrr Rock!!!

2007-04-10T13:51:48Z

Better late than never is all I can say.
My Summer of Rock finally kicks off in June.
Megadeth on the 16th at the Astoria London,
Muse on the 17th at Wembley Stadium.
For July I risked ridicule and shunning by getting tickets for Metallica at Wembley Stadium on the 8th of the month.
My Credit Card screams, the CC Company laughs with evil delight, and I'm wondering what came over me.
Anyone else foolish enough to go to any of the afore mentioned?
And seeing as there's 2 gigs in one weekend, can anyone suggest any reasonably priced hotels worth checking into?

I'm off to see if I really want to go see Paradise Lost or Ozzy Osbourne.
Then again,maybe not.

The War on Terror

2007-01-29T17:07:49Z

Go here: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/waronterror/
You've got until April 4th.

The idea is tongue in cheek, but worth signing for.
And all because I went here: http://www.waronterrortheboardgame.com/
Reminds me of the old Spitting Image board game, funny,in "poor taste" and makes VIPs nervous. :D

(Dons Flame Retardant Clothing... Just in case)

Royal Philips is MY friend :-D

2006-12-28T12:22:25Z

Happy Days,
The Philips "Streamium" Wireless Music Centre and Station WACS700/05
My darling wife started me on this line of expenditure when she uttered the words, "I saw this really cool Hi-Fi on QVC"
Now why did she have to go and do that?
Me being the ever curious about "cool" stuff, investigated this Hi-Fi thingy.
First thing I saw was the price tag: £600 (Ouch I thinks)
Then I saw what you got for the measly price of 600 folding ones, a 2 (two) part Hi-Fi system that doesn't have to be in the same room.
Cooooool I thought ( doesn't take much, trust me :D)
I also found it lurking around other electrical stores, so yesterday I went to PC World and obtained, via credit card, one of these Hi-Fi's

The fairly important stuff:
1 x Base unit
1 x Remote unit
2 x Remote controls (Though one of these is more like a bit of pressed plastic)
Wifi Linked so that you can place them in separate rooms.
Ethernet cable to connect to your PC ( to do a fair amount of interesting stuff)
40 gigabyte Hard Drive for all your tracks to go on :-D That's around 750 CD's worth of pure music pleasure. In MP3 format :-/
It also has a music follow me function, which allows you to wander round the house listening to the same track wherever you are in the house. For this to be worthwhile, you need to get more Remote units which are about £168 each.
You can have up to 5 Remote's working off one base unit, which is quite funky (Told you I'm easy to please)
Setting up was reasonably painless and as with all WiFi, walls and doors affected the range of the signal. The biggest pain I had was getting the base unit to read my network connection, but that got sorted once I read a couple of help pages on the website.
You can get updates for the software and track lists (CDDB) via the same website (once you've registered your product), and download them onto the Base unit via your PC.
Quite funky really :D
Now all I have to do is convert all my CD's onto the base unit and I'll be a truly happy bunny.
*Sigh* Happy Days.

BTW if anyone would like a Technics Hi Fi system, with 5 CD inter-changer and surround speakers, let me know. I don't think I'll be needing it anymore :-D (Fingers crossed)

This is more like it :D

2006-05-10T16:03:33Z

You Are 52% Abnormal

You are at medium risk for being a psychopath. It is somewhat likely that you have no soul.

You are at medium risk for having a borderline personality. It is somewhat likely that you are a chaotic mess.

You are at low risk for having a narcissistic personality. It is unlikely that you are in love with your own reflection.

You are at high risk for having a social phobia. It is very likely that you feel most comfortable in your mom's basement.

You are at medium risk for obsessive compulsive disorder. It is somewhat likely that you are addicted to hand sanitizer.

How Abnormal Are You?

Am I Evil? Yes I am.

2006-05-10T15:54:01Z

Just to prove the accuracy point... Here's "evil" me...
Though the creature in the picture ain't got nothing to do with me.Got it? :D

You Are 62% Evil

You are very evil. And you're too evil to care.
Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot.

How Evil Are You?

HAHAHAHA... Yeah, of course I am...

2006-05-10T15:48:51Z

You Are 56% Open Minded

You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded.
Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints.
But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line.
You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself.

How Open Minded Are You?

I just love these in depth questionnaire's, they're just soooo accurate :P

See I did it again!!

2006-04-25T21:11:16Z

*Sigh* "I must not follow stupid links to questionnaires"
I can "blame" Oldson for this one :-D
Not sure if I'd call it errr accurate or anything, but certainly counts as "entertaining"
Although for some reason I'm in balance with myself?? Go figure.

Balance
~ 48% Water ~ 55% Wind ~ 51% Earth ~ 55% Fire ~

And I know and I believe

There's a way out to the sea of happiness

It seems your personality is in perfect harmony; your impulses are tempered with thoughtfulness, and your emotions are balanced with a healthy amount of reason.

In order to maintain that harmony, try wearing a Jade, a Chrysoprase or an Agate; all three enhance balance and stability, as does the Snowflake Obsidian that will help remain balanced during times of change.

In detail: You are more balanced than most people. Your Ground Chakra, (associated with the element of fire and representing our basic desires and driving force), your Creative Chakra, (associated with the element of earth and representing our need to preserve and grow), your Heart Chakra, (associated with the element of water and representing our sense of love and compassion), and your Throat Chakra, (associated with the element of wind and represents our desire to learn and communicate), appear to be on an equal footing with each others.

These are the results you will get if you score highly on...

None of the four elements: Balance Wind: Gust Fire: Blaze Water: River Earth: Valley Wind & Fire: Thunder Wind & Water: Clouds Wind & Earth: Canyon Fire & Earth: Lava Fire & Water: Tornado Water & Earth: Trees Wind, Fire & Earth: Storm Wind, Fire & Water: Stars Wind, Water & Earth: Forest Fire, Water & Earth: Avalanche All four elements: Harmony

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 21% on water
You scored higher than 2% on wind
You scored higher than 22% on earth
You scored higher than 18% on fire

You see, I looked at Sue's LJ and I saw something daft on there. Rather than do the logical thing, which is to ignore it, I went ahead and got involved.
Now I know that I'm more stupid than I ever realised.
The shame of it. :-P

Well, you just gotta follow the crowd as I say.. sometimes :-P
Not sure about the girly pic tire though.

- You Are The Key Character

"It's what I was meant to
do."

You are the true enigma. No one knows much about
you, you do not understand much of yourself,
and your life seems to carry no purpose. Yet
regardless of everything around you - everyone
knows that you are here for some reason, even
if no one yet knows what that is. Things seem
to simply fall into place for you. Almost as
though some force is working either through
you, for you, or around you. No matter your
troubles, you have been sent here to unlock
something. This is your destiny.

Thanks Sue, having seen this on your journal, I had to do it.
Now I'm wondering if I really should have :-D

Your Social Dysfunction:
Schizotypal

You display social deficits and oddities of thinking. Your perception and communication are similar to those of a schizophrenic.

from miaowkytten
A lot has been said about how to prevent rape.
Women should learn self-defense. Women should lock themselves in their houses
after dark. Women shouldn't have long hair and women shouldn't wear
short skirts. Women shouldn't leave drinks unattended. Fuck, they
shouldn't dare to get drunk at all.

Instead of that bullshit, how about:

If a woman is drunk, don't rape her.
If a woman is walking alone at night, don't rape her.
If a women is drugged and unconscious, don't rape her.
If a woman is wearing a short skirt, don't rape her.
If a woman is jogging in a park at 5 am, don't rape her.
If a woman looks like your ex-girlfriend you're still hung up on, don't rape her.
If a woman is asleep in her bed, don't rape her.
If a woman is asleep in your bed, don't rape her.
If a woman is doing her laundry, don't rape her.
If a woman is in a coma, don't rape her.
If a woman changes her mind in the middle of or about a particular activity, don't rape her.
If a woman has repeatedly refused a certain activity, don't rape her.

If a woman is not yet a woman, but a child, don't rape her.
If your girlfriend or wife is not in the mood, don't rape her.
If your step-daughter is watching tv, don't rape her.
If you break into a house and find a woman there, don't rape her.
If your friend thinks it's okay to rape someone, tell him it's not, and that he's not your friend.

If your "friend" tells you he raped someone, report him to the police.
If
your frat-brother or another guy at the party tells you there's an
unconscious woman upstairs and it's your turn, don't rape her, call the
police and tell the guy he's a rapist.

Tell your sons, god-sons, nephews, grandsons, sons of friends it's not okay to rape someone.

Don't tell your women friends how to be safe and avoid rape.
Don't imply that she could have avoided it if she'd only done/not done x.
Don't imply that it's in any way her fault.
Don't let silence imply agreement when someone tells you he "got some" with the drunk girl.

Don't perpetuate a culture that tells you that you have no control over or responsibility for your actions.
You can, too, help yourself.

If you agree, re-post it. It's that important.

End of Days... Sort of :D

2005-12-29T13:06:21Z

Today, was the last day of my Radiotherapy.*cheers*
The last 2 and a half weeks have been a real drain. It's surprised me just how much just traveling can bring you down, and I'm glad that it's over for that reason.
I've now got 4 weeks of seeing how much good it's done, and if if it stays like it is, then it'll be the best xmas pressie I've ever had. :D
It'll be "nice" to go back to work again. Soonish.(eh, who am I kidding?)
This "improved" me, might mean I'll stop being so damn random with all my on line stuff... Err right,ok.
It's been kinda frustrating not being able to see keyboard and screen properly, the Typo Demon has been feeding on me for far too long.
Right, time to go crawl back under the rock.

Thx meganintheuk :D "Now thats what I call entertainment"

2005-12-28T19:02:21Z

Bah Humbug! :-)

2005-12-25T13:44:21Z

Well it's that time again, and I'm sitting on the pc as usual.
Only me and the wife to entertain today, so it's all good on the quiet life front.
The older I get the more anti-xmas I seem to be, maybe it's not having kids that does it.
Or I get fed up with the commercialisation of it from September/October right through to xmas day itself.
Nah, gotta be the kids thing, I loved xmas a a brat, all the pressies and sweets and drink etc etc.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the "other" spiritual side of it, I'm no Christian/Muslim/Bhuddhist/Jew/Evangelist, but it's still an important time of the year.
I like tree hugging it's cool :D
So in the spirit of "peace on earth" etc.
Here's wishing everyone a very best of days. :D

Errrr Hello? tap tap

2005-12-22T15:10:12Z

Ho hum,
Gotta stop being a lazy slacker, and do something with this here journal.
So...
Today.
Got woken by the "evil" cats..(You know the *wake up and feed me* time of morning)
Watched shite morning tv... And then went off to good old Maidstone for a bit more Radiotherapy.
Hour and a half there, 20 minutes in the Hospital and then hour and a half back.
And I feel absolutely brain dead.
The sobering thought is, I may feel like this is a bind, but everyday I see people much worse off then me.
Makes me realise how truly lucky I am.
