I have 2.5 days which I have to take off work by the end of the year so I took the 0.5 today to let me stay in bed. It was good. Went into work and then grabbed a bite to eat with a friend before doing some very quick food shopping and coming home. My flatmate has just picked up Grand Theft Auto: Vice City&#8230;and is going away for a week at the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>On the bad news front, I <strike>think I<\/strike> have a cold of some sort coming on.<\/p>\n<p>There has been a question forming at the back of my mind for a while now. I had a thought earlier this evening which seemed to come from out of nowhere but if you join all the dots up I think it all makes sense. The question can be phrased a couple of ways. Neither way is accurate but the sentiment is. If they could be combined into one sentence, I suspect it would all make sense. The thoughts are:<br \/>\nWho do we have to live up to?<br \/>\nWhy do we do the things we do?<br \/>\nYes, right now for the line of thought that has been forming, I guess this would be using the royal &#8216;we&#8217;. I think that all just clicked into place and makes sense for me. I don&#8217;t like the answer, but hey I often don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>The world is a small place. I&#8217;ve mentioned this before. In case I left one out recently, it turns out the new guy in work (well kinda new, moved from Dublin too) is an old friend of a good friend that I went to college with. Like I said small world. The interwebnet is a much smaller place, I&#8217;ve just found out that several of my bookmarked blogs all know each other and the detail is somewhat scary. Blogging circles really are small.<\/p>\n<p>Dear sweet fuck I&#8217;m now scared, this doesn&#8217;t make any sense at all. I know it doesn&#8217;t have to, but you don&#8217;t expect things like this, I mean you really don&#8217;t. I know that the internet is a small place but this isn&#8217;t small, this isn&#8217;t even 6 degrees of separation its ONE fucking degree.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm, well thanks for sticking me with there. Believe it or not that is all the one line of thought&#8230;well not one line of thought but one area of thought. I am left a gibbering wreck lying here typing.<\/p>\n<p>Oh other funny reaction of the day. I was reading <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/news.htm\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"JavaScript: self.status=''; return true;\" onmouseout=\"JavaScript: self.status=''; return false;\">Dark Horizons<\/a> as I tend to do daily. There was a story there which just had me shaking my head at the screen. That&#8217;s not just an expression I must have read it three or four times and my head was still shaking. Eminem is being considered for the role of Batman in the film <i>Batman vs. Superman<\/i> when it happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slept in late today.
