Who listens to classical music nowadays. I've just been listening to some on the radio as I was driving my sister's bf home tonight since I couldn't be bothered changing the radio station in my dad's car. Plus classical music is a good change from the stupid old hard-core punk alternative style music that I'm used to hearing. Why is it that if you are aged between 13 and 24, you probably listen to lots of hard out punk alternative music!? I mean there's a lot of other types of music out there like jazz and classical!!! But I'm starting to like the sound of those bands that are punk alternative but incorporate famous classical music tunes into their solos and riffs. It's almost like classical music on the electric guitar. But then is it possible to consider something as being "classical music" when it's played on the electric guitar with distortion!? Or can classical music only be with violins, clarinets, flutes etc. What I actually think on this is that we only like the type of music we do because everyone our own age listens to it and so therefore that type of music becomes a way of identifying who we are, since you never see someone who's 80 years old listening to a Disturbed song do you?
Nope, they'd more likely be listening to music of old jazz musicians from the years around World War II since it is what they are used to and is what they used to listen to when they were young, plus it is a way of identifying their generation! "Cos they don't take shit from their future Generation!"
Asking who we are, I'd say we are stuck in our own small little worlds and are happy to be as well. We turn a blind eye to the things that we'd rather not confront, we pretend everything is all perfect, and we tell lies when we think the truth can be too hurtful. Life is great in New Zealand and the scenery is very beautiful but in places like Africa, rape, murder and poverty are common place. Some families there may be lucky to have a bowl of rice for dinner meanwhile here in New Zealand, think of the countless numbers of sandwiches you threw out at lunch-time cos you were too full to finish them. Or think of how we can quickly drive anywhere in the Wellington region within 30 minutes almost anytime we want. Many families in Africa and other third world countries can't afford any transport or cars apart and so they can only walk somewhere which would take them about quadripple the time than if they could drive.
Now in this paragraph, I just want to point a bit of fun at the New Zealand government. Have you ever seen those ads for Labour's Working For Families Package!? And how in those ads they have this girl sitting comforatbly on a sofa texting on her cell phone with two happy looking parents in the background standing in their flashy white modern looking kitchen. Well this ad is advertising offerrings of more government subsidies to middle class families. Yet the funny thing is that some of these middle class families still earn an income that is taxible under the highest tax brackets. So in effect, these middle class families are paying the government lots of money in tax and then getting the money back as government subsidies. This would be all well if getting the money back didn't involve doing lots of paperwork, filling out forms and just general hurdle jumping over everything. (Those of you who have had to enrol at a university or apply for a student loan would know all about having too much form-filling paperwork to fill out.;) So effectively the government is just taking the money and then recycling it back to these middle classed families. What is the point of that?
Anyway...
1 Hour Later:
Ok, well I just got home from picking up my parents after their trip to Australia in Brisbane. They said it was rainy there but it wasn't too much like a storm because the storm only hit the north of Brisbane (wow, I've already done 1 hour 20 minutes of driving tonight!) But they got me a nice 200 mL bottle of Jim Beam which will nicely fit inside my pocket so while at uni I can at least arrive to lectures half unsober for once!
And, i'm sorry but I have to add this: recently I invented a new abbreviation.
A.R.T. can stand for All Righty Then
But then also, hehe, get this:
F.A.R.T. can stand for Fuking All Righty Then!
Lol, they say that once you reach middle age, you become more juvenile as you get older!;)
Goodnight!

Famous Tips From Society!
Ok, another thought has hit me today.Ya know how there's been all those advertisments in the past that say things like:
- Eat 5 fresh fruit and vegetables a day
- Drink 8 glasses of water a day
- Get at least 8 hours of sleep a night
- Recommended daily intake of fat is 30 grams
- Don't share drink bottles
- Always wash your hands after going to the toilet
-Don't hook up with more than one person within a two week time period
-Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap (put on a hat, put on some sunscreen and put on some sun glasses)
Well, I have one teeny ween incy bitsy little question to ask: DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY DO ANY OF THAT SHIT!???
Ok well I certainly don't manage to eat 5 servings of fresh fruit and vegetables a day, I don't drink 8 glasses of water a day, I aim to get 8 hours sleep a night but that doesn't happen much now, I'm always concious of whether I am eating around 30 grams of fat every day, but I never share spit from drink bottles. I always wash my hands after visiting nature lol and I'm often very careful about kissing, although I don't often put on more than a cap and sunglasses when I'm out in the Sun!
I've been observing people a bit lately, and from what I can tell, everyone only actually does a small proportion of those things listed above.
This is like an extension to that last post on hooking up sitting just below this one. But does anyone really listen to what the government tells them is healthy and what isn't. Another example is smoking. The government's like "DON'T SMOKE THESE THEY ARE EXTREMELY BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH AND CONTAINS OVER 200 DIFFERENT POISONS!"
Yet lots of people are just like "meh, it makes me feel good and it's too hard giving up, so I'll just keep smoking and see what happens."
Does anyone actually have much bliming sense in this world which is filled up with utter stupidity! But then again, who actually listens to what the government tells them? except for countries run under communism or dicatorship! (only cos people are forced to do what they're told under those types of governments!) But then wait, maybe everyone should be forced to do what's best for themselves! And then again, isn't everyone perfectly capable of knowing what's best for them by themselves!? Maybe or maybe not, but one thing's for sure, the workings of everyone's minds are COMPLETELY UNLOGICAL! (or is that illogical?)
But for now, I'm going to stop writing here and go drink lots and lots of alcohol so that I get the kind privilege of feeling like crap the next morning and vomiting all over the bath room floor. (That was sarcasm by the way!)
Just another point: I think it's a lot better drinking just enough alcohol to get that sensational buzz but not enough alcohol so that you end up vomitting everywhere like an errupting volcano!
Wow, do you have any idea how long (in years) all that ranting has been building up inside my mind, yet I only managed to put it all into words now!
Also, another useful tip: if you have to do it, use a condom!
Thank You!

Small Rant About Kissing
Here's a little rant!
Apparently, 1 out of 5 people have Meningococcal bacteria asleep in their saliva.
"French kissing with multiple partners (within a two week time period) almost quadruples a teenager’s risk of spinal meningitis, a potentially life-threatening disease, according to a study." http://notfrisco2.com/leones/?p=1802
In this case, multiple partners includes any number of partners greater than one. And according to the website above, hooking up with multiple partners increases your risk of getting Meningococcal bacteria by 3.7 times. So remember back to the last party you went to and who hooked up and so that means that those who hooked up with more than one person are now 3.7 times likelier to get meningitis? But then again, if this is true, why is it that half the teen population hasn't ended up in hospital from meningitis? Perhaps the chance of getting meningitis in the first place was already really low anyway.
The meningitis vaccine only protects you against one form of meningitis so you are not protected from getting other forms of meningitis. Although the vaccine would protect you against one form of meningitis, it is still worth getting. I just got my 3rd and final shot the other day!
And now also, another problem with hooking up is that there's not much worse than hooking up with someone who has a cup full of saliva in their mouths, so much so that u can hear the distinctive "slish sloshy" noise of the saliva moving around inside their mouths! And then when they have chocolatey globules of saliva, that's even worse!:O
Something that gets me is how can people at parties casually go round and pash everyone else!!? Damn it, this is annoying me!!!:O
