CLICK THE SQUARES

Does anyone else never pre-heat the oven or pre-boil water before cooking food? Always seems like a bit of wasted effort.. I just throw it in and when it’s done it’s done.. 

So I’ve been watching a bit of Jamie’s American Food Revolution on 4oD lately. If you didn’t know, it’s a program about the appalling amount of unhealthy processed food such as pizza and french fries etc some people, especially children in America eat and how it’s killing them. Jamie sets out to change this by actually offering them some real food with real ingredients instead of just chemicals and additives and fat. 

So I was thinking, when I was talking to my brother just about music in general, that can be much the same kind of thing.

Some of this mass produced crap, such as some of the music that comes from something like x factor, is just the same as, say, a chicken nugget. It may look quite nice from the outside and it might taste all right, but what it actually is, is lies. It contains all the rubbish parts of a chicken, such as bone and connective tissue, and then a load of chemicals and flavourings and stabilisers to make it taste like something vaguely resembling chicken. It’s EXACTLY the same as a group like One Direction or JLS or Justin Beiber, who may well look the part and sound OK, but they’re also just full of lies! There’s no talent there, it’s all auto-tune and clever editing. The actual artists don’t write the lyrics, they don’t produce the music that goes along with it, and they don’t even really sing that much, they just lip since because the original is so overly auto-tuned that it sounds nothing like their actual voice any more. Awful awful awful. 

Whereas, in comparison, artists like Muse, good old Frank Sinatra, Abba, Jimi Hendrix, for example, people that are just bursting with genuine talent could be compared to a beautifully cooked steak with fresh vegetables. Real food, real music, no lies.

Chicken nugget music is only interested in how much money they can make out of stupid gullible idiots by lying about whatever possible. It doesn’t care that it’s killing the music industry and what music should be about, just like the fast food industry doesn’t care that it’s killing a generation of children! Seriously, what the fuck is this world coming to? I’m not saying that other artists and bands don’t care about the money, because they do, a lot, but at least they’ve done something to actually earn it.  

And maybe I’ll never accomplish anything worth remembering, and maybe at the end of my short and insignificant life, all I’ll leave behind is a gravestone with nothing particually interesting or deep written on the front which no one will even pay any attention to. 

Depressing thought, isn’t it? 

The difference between me and my mother is that, when I make a mess, at least it is a tidy mess, but when my mother tries to clean it is a very messy kind of cleaning. For example.. 

I’m living on my own now, so I may well not do the washing up for a few days, but what I do make sure I do is stack all the plates etc up neatly on the side ready for me to wash them. If my mum sees some dirty dishes, she HAS to clean them, but they look fairly similar when she’s done cleaning them to the ones I neatly stack before they’ve been washed, and she tells me I need to do more around the house?? I’m a believer that there are 3 stages to washing up, my mum has never learnt stages 1 and 3. I have drawn a picture to further illustrate my point. 

Do I have some kind of point or am I just a huge snob? :P 

What I lack in intelligence, mental health, money, attractiveness, motivation, confidence, imagination, healthy relationships and positive attitude, I make up in.. Um.. The impressive number of hours I stay online for each day? Wait, no.. Help me out here?
