Well, as usual it is not for lack of things to write but rather an over abundance of thoughts both random and (if I do say so myself) inspired, that has led to the current situation of almost a month of no posts.
Actually not sure what this post should be about, so I'll just rattle off some of the ideas that met with an untimely end.

The Duality of man, was planning an ode to full metal jacket with my own view on peoples ability to be composed of good and evil, really though I just wanted an excuse to use one of my favourite movie quotes:
"I do know that for the sympathy of one living being, I would make peace with all. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other"
Seriously I get chills from this line, wish the movie was better, ah well.

Ponderings of international conflicts and capitalism - who am I kidding this post was dead before a word was written since the amount of effort it would take to actually check ones facts is a bit beyond me at the moment.

Lament of the nice/awesome/great ie more of a pet than friend guy, a whiny topic that I think is better left forgotten.

Introduction of geek culture to mainstream - a look at geekiness, and how many people who are geeks will never- ever admit to it. As well as a bit of questioning as why certain things are socially acceptable for fanaticism while others are considered faux pas. ie people can loudly proclaim (while only partial dressed even) their devotion to a sports team/individual, while a milder devotion to say one of a trilogy of movies is looked upon as a tad odd.

I could go on, but for the most part the other topics are branches of the previous in some form or another. For next post will think about expanding on one of the topics above but most likely will find something else to write about then. To all a good night.

Shamless filler post.

Well, unfortunately broke a streak of weekly posting... though I had good reason, sort of... well just didn't feel like it. Anyway it wasn't for lack of anything to write about as the amount of truly insane observations makes it hard to pick any one topic (or 5 or 10), a bit short on time so just going to leave a link to a pretty decently funny and honest monologue from Craig Ferguson's late night talk show (you may remeber him as the british guy from the Drew Carrey show). Perhaps later today will manage a proper post... but until then.
