yolo can do one!

After someone mentioned this on a tweet I have started hearing it more and more in my daily life.

Yolo (you only live once) is a new meme that seems to be doing the rounds in todays youth culture. And is used on anything ranging from exciting event right up to someone doing what can only be described as very retarded things.

My latest experience of this yolo life style was tonight. A patient came into where I work at with a broken leg. His only response to this was to drunkenly say “yolo its only yolo”. Yeah I hope that mantra helps while you do fuck all as your leg heals.

What a douche and giving credibility to my theory that mankind, for all its wisdom and insight, is generally retarded at a base level.

some days…

It really fucks me off at work. Some days I just want to grab someone by the shoulders and shake some sense back into them.

But instead I just grit my teeth and walk away.

home brewing

I have taken to home brewing. With the price of beer increasing its no longer viable to go into the local bars and pubs to drink. Well not if you have other things to do and not just one of these people that have nothing better to do than drink…

It seems the government is doing everything it can to claw back lost money. And beer seems to be the one area where they think they can make back the most. With tax rising slowly on every pint, factor in the governments attempts to cripple the binge drinkers by putting yet more money on to a pint and its getting an expensive habit.

I am not a binge drinker. I don’t go out every friday and saturday night and get needlessly drunk. And to me it feels like, especially the binge drinking thing, that the government is punishing the normal person for something that a minority are doing.

So screw it all because I am making my own!

I recently got into home brewing. For a reasonably small initial investment of £50 I got myself eveything I needed to get started. For each beer kit I buy, the wheat beer kit is what I am gonna be drinking, it works out at just over £1 per 500ml bottle. Where the same kind of thing bought in a shop, 220ml, is £3 a bottle. So I am saving £2 per bottle and a single batch will produce 24 bottles.

Suddenly home brewing seems a much more viable way of enjoying a relaxing drink. Also it will be all the better because its been made by my own fair hands

Been a long time

Been away from a lot of things recently. I sort of became too seculded and isolated from the rest of the world while I constantly worked. I didn’t even get very much time to spend with my wife. I plan to make a comeback at some point in the next week.

I have also started to write some stuff for Commodore Is Awesome again. The new content should be going up in the next few days.

Also why do people insist that Commodore OS Vision is some sort of modern day Linux saviour. Last I checked it was a poor skin job of Linux Mint 10.10….

Maybe I need ot do a review…

Need new retro games

Its been a while since I got some retro games. At one bit I was getting 10-20 a month. True they cost like £1 each but still….

The main reason behind the lack of new games is due to my Amiga been upgraded. The cost of parts like the accelerator and HxC aren’t cheap. So that was eating money.

Another reason is because of a baby on the way. While its still compiling in the wife we are using what resources are left to get baby related things. Like clothing, nappies and other baby junk.

Also I haven’t really seen anything that actually interests me. I don’t want to be one of these collectors that just collects so they can say they own everything. I want to say that the games I own are games that actually interested me or are ones I actually want. Which again there isn’t anything I actually want as such.

I think I may have to take a complete stock of all my games. At last count I was up to something like 350 games on 14 systems. So I really need to count through them again and see.
