of blogging, time, the stars, lots of bullshit and football; bloody hell.

Yes, I did not blog since the Stone Age (warning: exaggerations may abound in the following paragraphs depending on your interpretation); but so what?

Time is a pretty relative thing for everyone. For argument's sake, some examples. I believe strongly that 8 hours of sleep is too little (most people do as well), while others can live on just 4 hours of sleep a day. I guess sporting those fashionable eye bags gets them through the day (the fashion icons that they are). Another example, yk will probably feel a hundred years is too short a time to comprehend the notion of beating a professional level team in PES, while I find 5 minutes (that's a whole first half of a football game in PES) is too long a time to comprehensively trash him as I see fit (yes, I am pretty damn bitter about you owning PES08 on ps3 unlike me, no sarcasm intended). Time is relative to everyone, and if you were smart enough to skip over that elaborate nonsense I had just written (no, you weren't? that's fine as well), I will say that that was my excuse for not blogging in a while despite promising to do so.

I figured that would be a better excuse to come up with than quote-unquote, "waiting for the stars to be in perfect alignment". Although, given the events in the wee hours of Thursday morning, yes, you know what's coming; maybe, just maybe, those stars were in perfect alignment for MU. By the end of that game, the emotions were probably best described by chef and pottymouth extraodinaire, Gordon Ramsey, two words, "fuck me".

"Goddamnit" you say. "He can't just let it go" you say. Well, to be honest, I really can't. We did it. EPL and UCL double. I said that by the end of the match I would be laughing due to a double, and so I was. Fate? Destiny? You really can't deny the signs. It's the 50th annivesary of the Munich disaster. 40th anniversary of our first European trophy. Paul "can't tackle but sure as hell can shoot" Scholes missed the last final, and there he was, blasting in the winning goal against Barca to send us into the final. Giggs, equalling Charlton's appearance record against Wigan figured he would commemorate the occasion with the goal that gave us the domestic title. On the day he creates a new record for appearances, he figures he would celebrate with the winning penalty for the European title. Doesn't get much better for an MU fan, although that's about as far as it goes. Chelsea fans obviously won't be celebrating, Arse fans are too busy fantasizing of the 'beautiful' football they will be playing next season and no self respecting Liv fan would be approving of an MU win.

So, if you actually read that paragraph and found it to be utter rubbish, you would do well to learn from past mistakes. Exhibit A: end of first paragraph.

Moving on, "about time" you say, can I just make a small complaint? Like most guys, I liked drinking the occasional beer despite it's bitterness. Why drink when it tastes bitter? I figure it is sort of like a rite of passage to be an 'adult' for most guys. Yes, I understand the irony that the notion of 'getting drunk and most likely embarrassing yourself in some shape or form' is considered to be 'adult' behavior. Having said all that, I hope you would have noticed I said "likeD" (capital-lettered the d just in case). Yes, now I do my best to stay away from that bitter nectar of drunkenness. It is not that alcohol in itself is passe for me. Vodka, gin, whiskey? Go for it I say. But sadly I have lost that thirst for beer. All thanks to the underage drunk below. If a beer belly of that magnitude does not scare you, well you must have balls of steel.

On a less 'controversial' issue (really doesn't get more controversial than saying a guy shouldn't drink beer), I have a big qualm with Sony. I have a ps3. Quite frankly, I enjoy using it. However, in some twisted and bizarre way, it reminds me of a strip dance. "WTF" you say. I told you it was twisted and bizarre. Let me get to my point. The connecting thread between the two is the notion of teasing. The latter is pretty self-explanatory, so I will talk about the ps3. You start out with the decent games, enjoying it somewhat, but you need more. There is all the hype of new games coming out that will blow your mind (numb your mind is more logical since we are talking video games, but what the hell). Fast forward a few months later. You buy gta4 and can't wait to start those road rampages on the streets of Liberty City. You put the disc in, pick up the controller in anticipation. The screen fades into black, and then a message pops up. This is paraphrasing but, "THIS GAME CANNOT BE PLAYED DUE TO WRONG OUTPUT SETTINGS". For lack of better words, I need a new, better and more expensive tv. DAMN IT. Going back to my first sentence of this paragraph, this is more controversial, no?

This post is getting a bit long, which really is not in accordance with my recent modus operandi (yes, I am being a prick and using elaborate words because MU won), so I will have to end it soon. Final words, I returned home today absolutely gutted. I am very sure I will be getting my first FAIL in a uni test. "It was a stupid idea to wake up at 2.30am in the morning and watch MU then" you say. "NOOOO" I say. As long as I pass my end of semester exam I shall pass the unit and not have to repeat it.

Would I be willing to fail a test and forego getting a Distinction or whatnot just to watch MU lift 'Big Ears'?
HELL YEAH!

Would I be willing to fail a test and just barely pass a unit just to watch MU lift 'Big Ears'?
HELL YEAH!

Would I be willing to fail a test and fail a unit, thus repeating said unit next year just to watch MU lift 'Big Ears'?
HELL Y... how about I get back to you at the end of the semester?
