Envy’s MySpace
Thursday’s MySpace
To say that I’d been waiting for this with baited breath would be an understatement: Envy are simply brilliant and Thursday have always held some favour with me, even through the rocky A City By The Light Divided years. Spine-chilling album artwork and a seven-track listing of names far too long to be [...]
It’s more than uncommon for anything to serve to demoralise me to any extent, but the existence of the necessity of a supposedly ‘personal’ statement in the UCAS university application process. The word ‘personal’ in ‘personal statement’ surely implies that the statement should be a reflection of the whole of the writer’s personality: instead, it [...]

Indonesia has never struck me as a hotbed for the arts, but I suppose that nothing of much value can ever be extrapolated from one’s origins.

This scares me no end.
20% of supposedly intelligent, fully trained medical professionals polled in America believe that ‘God’ (whatever form that construct would take) is capable of reversing terminal prognoses. These people who have studied the diseases concerned; seen first hand their effects and their pathology; these people who should understand why ‘terminal’ is given [...]
I love when the subservients of the Christian (or otherwise) Church commit folly ill-befitting of their supposed ‘higher’ moral stations: it really does, with no reservations make me smile. Today, I had the (admittedly guilty) pleasure of reading of a priest admitting child porn charges. To add further hilarity, of sorts, to this story; he [...]
A friend and I, following an amazing idea on his part, have a project of sorts on our hands.
We want to, in a manner which will not plainly be ignored (such as the tragic UK Youth Parliament), show the political and social awareness of the 18-29 year old age bracket: with the benefit of looking [...]
