I have broken a bone in my foot. The story of how it happened involves wine, 6 am “short cuts” and hanging upside down on a fence… I’m so stupid.
I’m finally back at home. And I’ve become a daddy; this is my Furby, it’s name is Bret after Bret Easton Ellis because of the monster in Lunar Park called a Turby (which is basically a psychotic version of Furby.) My flat mates Furby is called Ken but mine is much better.
Also I’ve got twitter now so follow me ect… https://twitter.com/lwswltrs
“It is estimated that your group of the richest countries consumes double the resources used by the rest of the world. The UN estimates that if current population and consumption trends continue, by the 2030s we will need the equivalent of two Earths to support us.” That’s scary.

I hate humanity and I hate Northampton… I hope I never come back to this shithole…. Worst night i’ve ever had. I wish I was dead… Or the cunt’s that made me feel this way we’re…..
:)
oh lord, this night I became a twisted parody of myself… I saw so many people I know but was too drunk to hold a coherent conversation. I might the steal eyes covered, tongue out face in future
Yo, I’m having a break from revision so I thought I’d tumbl’. This week I’ve done more revision than I did all last year and I still have a month before exams start. I’m actually taking these exams and my studies in general seriously which is greatly out of character. I’ve had some non-stoned stoner revelations recently; one of them is about maps and the other numbers.
Someone asked my “why is the north pole still the north pole?” And it is weird to think that even in the “southern” hemisphere they have maps the same way round as us. I don’t understand why the northcentic view is the standard view. Maybe it’s a result of the emphasis the west places on itself and the arrogance of the westerners that “discovered” the south. The way we consider ourselves to still be on top. When really there are no up’s or down’s in the universe only relations of objects to other objects. To be above, I have to be higher in relation to something else. In relation to the floor I am above but I can’t just be above. I always have to be above something else to be above. But the relation between the north and south is completely arbitrary. Yes there are magnetic fields radiating from two ends of the earth but that doesn’t mean there is an up or down in the universe. It doesn’t mean that Russia is close to the north and Australia is close to the south. We could easily have made it the other way round. I want to go around taking maps off walls and putting them back up at random angles because it’s more accurate to our positioning. I think our view of the world would be completely different if we switched our maps around.
The other mind fuck is the idea that there can be an infinite number less than 4 but more than 3. I don’t understand how there is a number that goes on and on and on but never goes beyond 4. Pi is weird, but conceptually all numbers are weird. I’m not sure how they works or what they are. Infinity is an even weirder concept (especially for a finite dude like me) but I’m not in the business of speculating about things beyond me so that’s all I’m going to say about infinity. I think numbers might be relational as well. In the same way that I can’t just be above, I can’t just have 7. I can have 7 cats or the symbol for 7 but I can’t have 7 on it’s own. I’m really confused by the ontological status of numbers. I’m confused by most things though… I should probably get back to revising…
I just made the most disappointing pea and wasabi risotto ever. That was probably the most bourgeoisie thing I’ve ever said or done. I’ve also just finished Sartre’s Being and Nothingness which I started at least 3 months ago. I’m so glad it is over. My life’s been dominated by Sartre since before Christmas and it’s good to be over the final hurdle. Heidegger’s Being and Time is next on my reading list. It is only 490 pages (150 less than Being and Time) so it shouldn’t take me as long.
So me and my flatmate made a song (and need institutionalising.) It’s basically us reading Being and Nothingness over me playing synth. She did the video which I think is pretty cool. This is what Sartre would have wanted. THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE’S TAXES PAY FOR!!!
I have £100 to last me until the next loan comes in and I have a £140 water bill that I need to pay and I’m rapidly running out of food but Snoop Dogg has been added to the Bloc line up. The line up was already amazing but this has just made it even better. I don’t know what to do. I need food and water but I also need to go to Bloc.
I am raping this essay. If any of you have a defined sense of “self” please tell me so I can piss all over it…
