musings of a damned mind

well, I’ve been asked to rant for 500 words on a topic of my choice for the UKYP newsletter?

but where to start?

wasted public money?…too over done.

trident missile replacement?… too political.

railing at hypocrisy everywhere… too secular.

laughing at the bishop of southwark because “its what I do”…too harsh on the old guy.

something specifically youth related? naturally, but what?

I.D cards perhaps? hmmm Chris it seems I owe you one again,

Grazie Signior

watch this space, still open to suggestions though…you know me

“I don’t believe in the commercialisation of christmas”

 ”We should remember the true christian meaning of christmas”

Lets think about this for a second shall we? ok the ‘christian’ message behind christmas is…

the name… seriously guys, thats it.

the great census’ held by the romans that supposedly led Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem happend every twelve years… IN JUNE, as it happens they were in 4 BC 16 BC and 8 AD, but thats a seperate point. However one which brings me onto my point numero due…Why do X-ians celebrate x-mas in december?

simple, paganism. When X-ianity went on one of its lovely little *lets suppress the local culture* day trips that it used to do OH so well it noticed, “hmmmm, there appears to be a pagan festival in all these countries held on the shortest day of the year, lets convert them and tell them OUR guy was born then, so they can keep the festival with minimal culture shock.” Deary me, not many angels, birthdays or virgin births going on there then?

the Celtic/pagan festival btw was to celebrate the death of the old year and the birth of the new one and included, interestingly, exchanges of small trinkets and favours from and to the priests of the gods as well as the people and their families.

oops nothing to do with the wise men then,

so please please PLEASE don’t preach to me about the ‘true’ meaning of Christmas, the X-ians nicked it and commercialised it, just like the glorious capitalist bastards in the major chain stores are doing to the X-ians now and have been for many years,

almost Karmic isn’t it?, what goes around comes around, so….

In the name of tradition

have a good solstice everybody, may whatever gods you follow stand forever between you and harm in all the dark places you must walk, may your battles be victorious and your loins forever fruitful, or what ever the hell they said back then,

merry x-mas and happy solstice

and good bye to the old year, mustn’t be forgotten.

Well, the december candidate has arrived

or rather candidates,

I nominate the twelve IDIOTS who found Nick Griffon innocent of Inciting racial hatred,

HE BELONGS TO THE BNP, HE IS A NAZI!!!!!

and most definately incites racial hatred.

in my personal, humble opinion,

still at least Richard has some competition XD

see y’all

Walk in the Night

Will you walk through the night with me?

Turn not away, from bright stars’ glare?

Will you walk through the night with me?

At the shadow, and the light gladly stare?

Will you walk through the day with me,

Dance in the warm summer sun,

See the dusk sink beneath the sea

And a new dawn just begun?

Who dares to walk the night with me,

 Who has the courage to really see?

Who dares to watch the stars with me,

And have the courage to truly be?

Who can see what few can see,

Catch the illusion, hold it fast,

Who can be what no other can be,

See the links, future, present, past.

Anyone could walk in the night with me,

You need me not to show you the way,

Anyone could see what I can see,

But first they must give away

Boredom, convention, I must and I should,

To themselves be true at last.

Then, finally, see they could

The future, the present, the past.

So will you walk this night with me,

Turn not your eyes from the light?

Will you travel the ways with me?

And step with me. Into the night?

Well, Just got back from my Oxford interviews, and far from the terribly competitive, cold-as-ice group I expected everyone was really friendly, incredibly cool and DEFINATELY up for a laugh,
