bored to tears over these last few days. my gym is closed so i cant work out and my bank is closed so i cant sort out stuff for the place i am trying to buy, and i dont want to walk around with half a million people in the west end looking to buy shit i dont need just because its 20% off on sale. people go crazy in the sales. i bet they dont end up wearing half the stuff they buy.
downloaded a few films to keep me occupied. i watched america psycho which is good, all the presidents men with robert redford and dustin hoffman, which is in my list of favourite films of all time, the breakfast club, do the right thing and the usual suspects which is very good. i have a few films still left to watch. i think i will watch this next. it looks like it will be tough viewing, but also very good.
went round to see arsenal (my team) v chelsea at my friends place this evening, and the arsenal won 3-1, which makes a change against chelsea. it did mean i had to listen to whining and self pity from someone who takes 4 holidays a year (south africa, india, costa rica etc), works part time and has inherited hundreds of thousands of pounds in the few years i have known them, and that doesnt include the million plus they will get from daddy. stop whining. stop measuring your life by the amount of bathrooms you have in your house or how often you change your car and stop being so shallow. i didnt say it because its rude to criticise someone whilst watching their subscription based sports channel.
i had lunch a few weeks ago with another friend of mine who is also a trust fund kid and who was coming out with the same shit and wondering why he wasnt earning more and getting credit at his job. that day i told him tactfully and i reminded him that he had turned down a job offer from goldman sachs paying double what he was now earning, because he had said at the time that he didnt want to work that hard and he liked taking lots of days off and not staying late at work. at the time he also said he liked being able to come into work at 9.30 on days after he had been out clubbing the night before. i dont think he liked me reminding him about stuff he had said. i told him at the time he was crazy for turning them down and that he would regret it and that it was worth taking the job for the things he could learn and advance his career with and it would be worth doing even if it meant a pay cut, let alone the 100% pay rise they were offering. he is regretting it 3 years later. havent heard from him since i saw him that day. oh well.
am just getting annoyed with these trust fund kids whining about shit. people who didnt have to work in supermarkets whilst at school and university to make enough money to get by. people who got hundreds of thousands of pounds given to them, instead of actually working and saving up for years. people who got their jobs from contacts their parents have, and not on merit after competing against a field of talented candidates.
stop fucking whining you ungrateful shits. we are all very lucky having not being born in a huge swathe of the planet consisting of most of africa, latin america or asia, otherwise we would be living in abject poverty without access to clean drinking water and not having a bmw or not working for goldman sachs would be the least of our worries. even amongst those that have been born in western europe, north america and australia you are lucky because you have been given millions of pounds so enough complaining please. 6 billion people on the planet. 5.9 billion people worse off than you and you still fucking complain and feel sorry for yourself.
its rich wankers like this that ruined williamsburg that i mentioned in my last post.
another friend emailed me and asked what my plans were for new years eve. i told him i didnt have any but would go out if everyone else was going, although i didnt want to queue up anywhere or get ripped off and pay to just enter a bar that is free to go to the other 364 days of the year. i probably wont end up going out anywhere. i saw that camp freddy are playing a new years eve show at the roxy in LA. how cool would it be to go to that. if i was a millionaire trust fund kid i would definitely go to it, and i would have no excuse to complain about anything because i would have had the best night ever. unfortunately i am not a millionaire trust fund kid. will probably watch my film about hunger strikes instead.
if you dont know, camp freddy is a group consisting of dave navarro (janes addiction), matt sorum(g'n'r, the cult, velvet revolver) and a bunch of other people from other big bands, who play shows in LA sometimes. this is a clip of them with the lead singer or linkin park, and slash and duff from g'n'r.
anyways, that not what i have mostly been listening to today. i have mostly been listeing to plan b - prayin. good tune.
