Today I am just sitting in a small room in absolute awe at the number of amazing people that are in the world. This is unusual, because normally I am a die-hard cynic. There are some incredible people out there. People that are doing things they love, people that are fucking good at what they do, people that are doing something they really believe in, people that are fighting for freedom in their own little way, people that give hope.
There is a problem, however. How do you keep up with all this? I can't. The information overload is just too much, and it's giving me a real sense of what it means to be autistic. I just shut it out. I feel like my eighty year old grandfather, struggling to get to grips with things, knowing that I'm passed it, knowing that if I could live again, I would like to have spent at least some of my teenage years doing something other than playing football. But I'm not eighty years old, I'm 24 for fuck's sake. |

Is it wrong to vandalise a wall if the wall is illegal in the first place?
The Israeli government is building a wall surrounding the occupied Palestinian territories. It stands three times the height of the Berlin wall and will eventually run for over 700km - the distance from London to Zurich.
The International Court of Justice last year ruled the wall and its associated regime is illegal. It essentially turns Palestine into the worlds largest open-air prison.
It also makes it the ultimate activity holiday destination for graffiti writers.
I might add that banksy is a genius.

Ho scoperto che anche in Italia ci sono individui che usano LJ. Ebbene si, sono italiano.
Tramite il blog di jwz, ho scoperto che esiste un tale daw_, che ha una bellissima pagina piena di fumetti e cazzate varie, la piu' bella delle quali e' questa.
Rapresenta alla perfezione come ci si sente a scrivere una tesi.
Complimenti per la consegna, daw_. |

| Since then.... |
[Jul. 13th, 2005|03:50 pm] |
Since then, a bunch of twats decided to meet up in scotland and show the world just how out of touch they really are. As a result we get targeted by Britains first ever suicide bombers! yay! Now we at least have an idea how it is to live in Baghdad.
People have been praising the "London Spirit" - getting on with it as if nothing had happened. I'm not so sure there is anything to praise about this. In madrid they had a peaceful march against terrorism; here we go straight back to work.
In spain they actually did something and got the fuck out of Iraq; here we praise our "resolve not to be divided".

| iToilet |
[Jun. 17th, 2005|06:53 pm] |
In what die-hard Macbashers would claim is the first genuinely constructive use of Apple hardware in year, French bloggers at www.w3sh.com have posted an innovative mod they call the iToilet. Taking full advantage of the Mac Mini's compact dimensions and white exterior, they modded the diminutive OSX box into a toilet paper dispenser.
