utterly pointless

Hey there folks. Been lapsidaisacal of late. I am aware. Gonna be busy. Shifting house this w/end. Gonna be out of touch for a wee while. Prob won't post again for a few days.

So these guys came to our house tonight. Halloween. Right. What do they say?

Here we have some lollipops for you.
I'm sorry?

That's right they gave us the treats. That deserves a big v cool in my books. Course it turns out they were christian. Obviously. Still. Full respect.

well, just saw intolerable creulty, with george clooney and zeta jones. by the coen bros. what can i say? loved it. start to finish laugh out loud funny. them coen's hve the midas touch. i always love their films. D didn't find it as funny as me but i think she still enjoyed it. maybe i just enjoy coen bro's film because of some weird familiarity complex, like seeing their work is like catcthing up with an old friend or revisiting their quirky sense of humor. i dunno. had a weird dream night before last. i'll write about it tomorrow though cause i'm too tired to do it now. nite nite.

Decided 'satiated' is one of my top ten favourite words. Combined with Sam it's samiated! Brilliance!

True; you're never really satisfied until you're samiated.

False; you're never really satiated until you're mattisfied.

Hehe. I wrote that for Steve's benefit, so don't worry if you're confused. You're meant to be. By the way do you like that I'm *trying* to use proper grammar? Capitals and all that?

media fast is starting to take affect now. suffering understimulation. want to be saturated with passive television radiation. no. must resist. must learn good habits. kotor not enough. need more. need information bout outside world. no. must resist.

riding horse. tomorrow. that's right. horse. big animal. hmmm. flatmate M is trying to shatter my confidence, by telling me that if you walk behind said horse and it kicks you, you die. if you fall off horse, you die, and so on. great confidence building stuff for someone who has never ridden a horse in their life. can't wait. thrilled.

was a good start to the day, now my brain is fried. how you ask? mmm easy. kotor. lost track of time playing game now mind is focused on saving mission's brother grif from the sand people on tatooine.

see what i mean? video game bad. but can't resist...

encountered a robot today. again. you know those people who seem to wander round completley unconsciously, not actually processing any information about the world aroud them, i think it's the result of the media saturated world we live in. maybe some people have "seen it all before" and feel that their immediate environment is not worth putting in their in box part of their brain? why bother living? why persist in an exercise that you know will provide you with know stimulation whatsoever, and even if their was stimulation to be had completely ignoring the potential for it when it's put in front of you because your brain catorgorizes it as "seen it all before". freak. all of them. why walk around looking at the ground all the time. sometimes i feel that most of us do. stop. look up. check out the world around. soak it all in. so much information, so much beauty. we should all feel like there's not enough time to take it all in... thats part of what being a human being is right? tell me if i'm wrong here...

conclusion - either

a) the world has been taken over by robots which have so succesfully intergrated into our society that we barely notice the difference.

or

b) humans are naturally inclined towards robot like behaviour in which case there would be no difference than if we were taken over by robots...

bring on the robots i say...

enough drivel..back to kotor
(mindless video game requiring specifically timed digital responses)

think between not drinking and my media fast i'm starting to think again readers. oh and the exercise seems to be helping too. and maybe the organic stuf aswell. right. willing myself to stop writing utter trash now. done. gone ok.

on this big organic kick lately. it rocks, i ate free range eggs this morn while drinking my organic coffee, and for morning tea i've got organic kiwifruit. i'm sure this stuff gives more more go in the day than the regular stuff, or maybe i'm just sold on the media image of organics...placebo effect and all that...

of course i highly doubt my coffe was grown by well paid and fairly treated farmers in papua new guinea, which for me should be more of an issue, but i live in the real world orrite...

my brain was working overtime today. i've decided i live in a media satuarted world, and i'm gonna cut down. somehow. already stopped buying the newspaper. gonna cut down on tv too. hard tho when you sell tvs. but i've turned the volume down on them all and i've been listening to music to fill the gap. works. sort offf, find it hard to resist those film reviews on the morning televsion programme. mmm francesca.... (just kidding folks) reading more. playing xbox more (yea i know but i just got kotor and it rocks...) not aimlessley surfing the net for information i don't really need nymore. could get quite boring if i take this too far...

right so the idea is that i'll regain a thirst for information, so when i start my course next year i'll soak up all the juicy and not so juicy bits like the media deprived sponge i will be.

so that analagy didnt really work out but when i'm thinkng more clearly i post a revised edition.

started a new blog today aswell. not gonna tell y'all where it's at for a wee bit till i figure out some direction for it...it's actually gonna have a point unlike this one. decided i've been a bit unfocused in life and i wondered if my blog's title is starting to imitate my life.

yes thats'right folk from the same people who created utterlypointless. coming soon...
yea whatever i'm not really making much sense anymore right? no. ok. back to kotor then.

i wondered today if my boring retail job is breeding cynacisim...

that aside, i got pattern recognition, you know the william gibson book i was raving on about the other week that i really wanted to read. got it. happy. recommend to one and all wholeheartedly. not really. probably gotta be the kinda person who likes those kinda things. go here William Gibson he da man...

maybe the boredom is just breeding some sort of rare bipolar dysfunction.

or maybe i just do too much thinking....

so. i know. i've been a bad bad boy. i've let my loyal readers down. well tuff. get a life already... so i was at this party last nite and this bit... i mean girl spewed up all over me. well not really all over me maybe she just caught my jacket but she might as well of. all the same to sammy. then this other drunk girl spills beer all over me. apparantly accidentally. nice. then i wakes up this lovely morning, and a beautiful day it was i might add, with a vicious hangover, again for no apparant reason. ok maybe i drank more than i should have... so my loyal fans what, you may ask does this have to do with you all? sammy c, me, is formally declaring he will not drink excessivly again till new years eve. soooo not going to be easy, and i will keep you, my precious readers informed of all my lapses, of which i intend to have none.

drank way too much coffee this morning...

so tired right now that i can't sleep... decided to make myself a milo and spew some random thoughts upon the wired community... seem to be drawing a blank now... was full to the brim with fantasic thoughts and far flung ideas, but now well....me gone duh....

well well well, i'm not gonna talk about the weather now, or the chores anymore,seen as y'all obviously don't find that innerestin, actually, hold on this is an utterlypointless blog right... yea thats right... utterlypointless... hahaha(evil take over the world laugh) so.. i can write whatever the hell i like and you guys still keep comin back for more...hahaha(evil take over the world laugh - more contrived) soon i will have completed my brain numbing formula and i will control you all...hahaha(evil take over the world laugh - deeper this time)

sorry what was that? yea yea i'll do the dishes...

so, it happens to be a nice day today. damn. i'm not restless. i know i should be out there enjoying the sunshine, browning up for summer, but, the motivations just not there, what's going on? can't figure it oput really... gonna do it anyways, gonna go for a bike ride, do my washing, do the dishes, clean my room. you must be getting sick of me always talking about the chores and the weather by now surely?!?!

listen... can you hear that? thats right... it's the evil rain again...why?!?! it's my day of, no-ones home, it's pissing down with rain, i didn't go out last night i've got oodles of energy and the last thing i wanna do right now is blob at home...(not like me at all i know but people change orrite) so i'm listeneing to andy c and mc hype, and i'm bouncing around our tiny little house catcthing up on all our neglected chores. fun. ran to the shop in the rain. got soak through within about 50 metres of leaving home. more fun. then i get there, i'm there to buy washing powder, and it's outrageously expensive...should've known better really, so i bought myself some comfort food and now i'm sitting here writing this complete waste of time post completly drenched, not feeling trapped inside at all...

hope you recover quickly neicy... not like you to get so bad...

well, it's time to update y'all on the happenings in the world of sam...and there's not much to report at the moment, hold on, yup, not much to report... i gotta dvd thats so overdue now it's silly, i been tinkering on the pooter, i listened to a few of my cds i have ignored lately, and they thanked me for it...yea not much at the mo...

right so what i was gonna say, till i got distracted by by money doco, was i have now firmly resolved to avoid buying magazines. sooo hard tho, i love picking up glossy magazine from the store and drooling over the delicious contents...,not those kind of magazines... geek magazines you know empire(movies & dvds) pc authority(pooters) netguide(pooters) atomic(pooters) wired(pooters)... hmm it seems a pattern is emerging here... speaking of which i really want to get my hands on pattern recognition by william gibson, remember him he created the "cyberspace" term. yea ok i'm a little distracted right now got a lot on my mind. me go now post later okays...

so im watcing this documentary on money. this guy reckons by not a a kitchen and living in the centre of the city, and eating out for everything, and i mean everything, no coffee at home or milo or anything, that it's actually saving his money and time... so i'm considering trying to eat out for everything, but i'm weighing it up in my mind but i just can't see it working somehow....

The Observer | Special reports | John Pilger: The great charade read this. tell me what you think... i know it's old but i only just now stumbled across it.....

right i finally managed to break the spell the comic site had over me.... i think... i don't want to go back there, yet i do at the same time...kinda like a tv soap... i decry those who watch them religously following the character's lives as if they were related or friends or something... but i still watch them at work, you sell tvs you kinda have no choice but to be exposed to hours of televsion all day... they slowly suck you in, you pick up little snippets of the stories and you just wanna find out what happens tomorrow, then before you know it you're gossiping about how brook has just run away with jefferey for a secret "ron de view"* in tahiti after her husband has just lapsed into a coma because he's in intensive care because of the car crash that happened the other week that was caused by john's drunk driving, after he lapsed on the alcoholics anonymous 12 step programme, because his mother has just been diagnosed with cancer....whoa i've definatly said too much now... maybe i should be a scriptwriter....

*don't know how to spell that word so i'm just gonna leave you with the phonetic variety

MegaTokyo - relax, we understand j00 mmm dunno bout'these online comics... i like 'em "but i could easily spend all day reading them completly losing track of time getting my self late to work not spending time with my girlfriend, ignoring my friends, sorry what did you say the time was?!?!? i'm gonna have to go now...

i cant get into my blog. why? its drivin me nuts... oh i see my blogger tool bar lets me post but i cant do anything else, blogger's not accepting my password. noooo, it's like getting home after a hard day of work and realising you've forgotten your key... which i i am perfectly capable of doin, as anyone who know sme will attest to....glad to have that of my chest.

been listening to Handsome Boy Modeling School today courtesy of my buddie steve who kindly left it here at the flat before he went to new plymouth... check out his crazy adventures at www.stevengapo.com i thinks hes still livin in a tent...

weather can't make up it's mind tho was nice, then it rained, now's it's nice but there's still some evil grey clouds up there...

sooo. i've been a proper housewife today. cleaned the bathroom, tidided the kitchen, done three loads of washing, now i'm gonna do some exercise, outside, (you read that correctly, i did say exercise)

yea... weather is nice today, AND i'm not working. strange these things so rarely come together. or do i just spend too much time inside....? gonna walk my folks dog today, make some kind of effort towards cleaning the house up, and maybe look into creating the website that i was gonna put here once, before i got distracted... for a couple of months. hmmm. well that's the plan anyways whether it works out that way or not is a whole 'nother story. blogger seems to like me today aswell, so i'll probably make another post or two today, exercise those brilliant creative writing skills of mine that everyone always comments about.........

Fanimatrix flatmate downloaded this today. 'snot bad, considering it's made by a couple of kiwis for less than a grand. nz dollars. crazy. they must have hauled in lots of favours and clocked up some ious....
