Something long and meaningful, full of free flowing eloquence...

...this is not.

Oedipus Rex

Image
People of Thebes, my countrymen, look on Oedipus. He solved the famous riddle with his brilliance, he rose to power, a man beyond all power. Who could behold his greatness without envy? Now what a black sea of terror has overwhelmed him. Now as we keep our watch and wait the final day, count no man happy till he dies, free of pain at last. 

For my mother, who always thinks I'm high...

About religion...

So a religious whackjob, Noah, built an ark, of wood and scraps, with his bare hands and intellect limited by the times(thousands of years ago when they had to rub stones to get toasted bread, if you're wondering), stuffed into it a pair of every animal on the planet(the carnivores manned the boiler room, because lets face it, those chaps aren't too friendly, even when you're saving them from extinction, elephants, giraffes, et al) and THAT tin-pot contraption survived God's wrath, the storm of...I dunno, the universe maybe. And on the flip side, armed with the powers of modern science and near infinite wealth and resources, the world's top engineers, built a boat to cross a measly ocean, to allow Jack and Rose to start off an unlikely romance, and named it Titanic, The Unsinkable Ship. And what happens? This wonder of modern boating science engineering, snaps into two when grazed by a freaking cube of ice, floating around in the water. Thus Jack went down and br

Too much of a good thing...

So Federer continues his hot streak for the year. Winning his 4th title at Madrid. 2nd in the rankings now. I hope he gets to the top again. I hope he wins another sixteen grand slams. I hope he buys me a property on the effing moon, I do hope so. Arsenal put in a shaky performance but thankfully, pulled through to secure 3rd place in the league. Its sad that when most other fans have trophies to celebrate, I make coming 3rd for my team sound like winning the World Cup, opening the lid and finding Shakira inside. But still, well done guys. And the two Manchester clubs played out a breathless thriller to determine who gets to walk away with the league champions crown. Not that I cared much, still, a good game to watch. Someone once said,   “ Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that. ”   I don't remember who said that, but the man was a freaking genius at one liners. Must have bowled over countless women in his
