End of a Century

This is it, the one you've all really been waiting for due to my sudden inability to update blog posts and in general piss everyone off with my odd rantings. The final blog... I suppose it's fitting that the title should be a Blur song, being my favourite band (apart from possibly Gorillaz...same singer though innit?) It sure as hell feels like a century. For my one fan out there, don't stress. It's over now because it feels right. I have no energy, motivation or ideas any more and this last blog will make it practically the one year anniversary of my first post. Despite always claiming that I would avoid personal stuff, I thought this last blog should be about the highlights of the year, the good, the bad and the downright ugly. Right Clint? 

Lonely this Christmas

I don't mean to the ruin the festive cheer, o fuck it, I will anyway. 

Keep the Customer Satisfied

You love shopping don't you? Of course you do. You sicken me. 

I Predict a Riot

YOU! Yes you, you disgust me! 

I Want to Break Free

You've stuck with me this long? Fifty posts. You lunatics. I will be kind though, you are a responsible bunch of people. This means you might think what I'm about to complain about is ludicrous, but it's true none the less. I want to thank those who have read me spilling out bile each week (except when I've been slow to update). I apologise for that by the way, but work is sometimes long and I can't be bothered to think seriously about what I want to write because I'm too tired. Ah well, here I am now...writing for the fiftieth time. Where do I get my ideas? Well, apart from Charlie Brooker, I'm also a genius so it's not hard ;) The writing may not always be amazing, but I'm always right so shush. 


So, responsibility. We know what we mean when we say that word but we sometimes seem to forget what our individual responsibilities are. The reason this has come to my attention was because I was thinking about this generation and culture changes as a whole. What causes generations to change their ways? I mean, the music is different, the clothes, the hairstyles, the politics. I've come up with a theory. 


I reckon it's because people try so hard to be different to their own parents. I mean, it's typically what's seen as the beacon of 'uncool' right? I love my parents, so very much and I actually share a lot of their views, but most people don't. Does your father listen to Lady Gaga and does your mother use face book and post status' about X-Factor each week? I'm guessing not. Not that there's anything wrong if they do. (Except the second, that's bad enough if you do it,  you boring fuck.) Yes, there's nothing wrong with it, but chances are they don't. You want to be different. You want to break free, in the immortal words of Queen.


However, by changing things, people of your age inevitably fall into the same fashion. We all want to be different from our parents but the same as each other so we don't feel...exiled from our peers. It's an odd state of affairs. So yes, as I said, I'm quite like my parents in their views so I am not quite part of this generation. But I observe it. I can see we have become far more obsessed with money, fame and gossip than almost anything else. This angers, scares and disgusts me, all at once. This generation, our generation can only go two ways and the second is not very likely. We can either become more obsessed with material possessions and become more selfish and ignorant or we can do a U turn and become more accepting of our multi-cultural society.
