I Know That I Know Nothing

I know that when I meet new people I ask a lot of questions, but what's
so bad about that? Oh look, there was a question! But are questions
really so bad? Oh- there was another! People criticise me for asking
pointless questions but if you're talking to another human for the first
time then I think there's a lot of important things that need to be
asked. Do you believe in God? Do you like cartoons? These are decisive
factors regarding whether or not I think we can be friends. For me the
answer to both of those big questions is of course not, I'm not a
fucking child... just kidding, I love cartoons! Also, for the record, if I
am asking too many questions then maybe it's because you're not pulling
your weight in whatever shit conversation I'm being forced to have with
you. If I don't know you then the odds are I don't want to be talking to
you and so have ended up in the situation against my will. So you
know... do your bit, dickhead!

Whatever Floats Your Boat

I think that a persons obsessions tells you a lot about who they are. Are you obsessed with football, fashion or kiddie porn? Meh... Then fuck it- we probably wouldn't get along. For me it has to be films with one particular highlight of my life being the year I spent alone watching three or four of them a night... anything to break up the crying and wanking I suppose. Anyway, during this time I basically face planted the world of cinema and learned as much shit as I could to help distract me from the great depression that is my life. As a result I learnt about a chap called Werner Herzog whose bleak outlook made my own darkness look like a warm puddle of piss in a vast ocean of grim. To be frank, I think that the guy is a fucking genius. For anybody unaware of who he is, I'll explain a bit more in a second but to set him up I have a little quote. You know the sheer beauty of the exotic jungle? Well, during the making of his film Fitzcarraldo, Herzog saw it a little differently, “Of course, there's a lot of misery. But it is the same misery that is all around us. The trees here are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don't think they- they sing. They just screech in pain.” There is nothing that I want more than for Herzog to develop a second career as a zoo tour guide. Can you imagine it? “The Lion is suffering in his rusty man-made cage while the Kangaroo hops about with an ecstatic insanity... And the Orang-utan? Well he just stares into the abyss like a great ginger cunt”. Ah... A boy can dream.
