Now what is Flow? To an MC it might be losing himself in music in the moment never let it go... 8 mile clearly showed how people can achieve utter concentration and commitment and forget all there surroundings, but can this be achieved throughout our existence.

Wow your thinking, he hasn't started ranting about anything yet but this leads to this week's rant. Whilst I was trying to achieve Flow in my lecture on Monday a huge spider crawled across the floor and sent the female and male students wild. A harmless spider. I tried to help it and catch on a piece of paper but some inconciderate male student killed it... my heart sank as his legs circled towards the centre... How can someone do that to a harmless creature who was most probably going back to his family or in search of some food. If it ain't cute and cuddly humans feel that they have to kill it... why have we got such a destruct nature in us! "If they don't comply we bomb them" is basically the American way and this attitude has always been held by human race!

And thats what really grinds my gears!

Interactivity? I know what your thinking what the hell is that...well I just spent a lecture slowly bringing the learning curve to a point of understanding, listening to well construct theories trying to put an easy perspective on the matter but within the lecture it tipped off one of the problems the 21st century has created... a dark form of interaction through person to machine to person and I believe it is slowly dissolving the ability for people to express their beliefs, feelings and emotions publicly.

The 2nd rant is devoted to this topic. I am an outgoing lad who to be quite honest would talk to anyone and everyone, however, I find it hard sometimes to hold conversations with people because they don't have the ability to hold a conversation. This is not just the odd person these are also close friends. However, if you put a medium between them, I can't shut the buggers up. The time of the mobile community and internet have created a society that can express themselves how they want to be without seeing the person they are talking to. SOme might argue that they have made some great friends through the internet and I hold my hands up and say "Yes, congratulations, but how can you truly experience the whole peron if you only experience them half at a time." agreed - through time they will but how can you love someone without seeing them. Everytime I write a sentence it brings up another issue - interactivity has produce more ways of people getting in touch with other people that they don't want to be in touch with. Are interactive tools the gateway to the second identity people would like to portray in real life? Who do you REALLY know your talking to at any particular time... you can always choose who you want to be, what you want to do... so why act differently through different mediums!

On a positive not I met a girl on saturday and she was out with a group of friends who all met through the bournemouth honeys website.

And thats what really grinds my gears!

Just like the creation of the world, this blog has taken about seven days to get up and running...but at least we are running! This a completely new experience from me as the internet is normally a medium I use for banking, emailing and general surfing needs. So the big question is what do I fill this blog up with?

I normally keep my frustrations of life deep inside and explode now and then on an unsuspecting human being, but I thought I would take the opportunity to use this blog to release my views, opinions aka rants to anyone who wants to read them.

So my first topic - the dark world of semi professional football - I have been playing for semi pro teams since I have been 16 which now seems a life time ago, I have witnessed fraud, dodgy dealings and at times some spectacular emotions. But my rant doesn't involve these things it involves the word EGO.

The current team I am playing for are currently at the top of the division and all is going well, however, a big hitch in the campaign came on Saturday as they lost to quite simply an atrocious team, with lesser wage bills and fans to keep happy. The club I play for does not have alot of money to pay players so there is a basic wage of £25 a game, however, there are a few contracted players whose wages will be higher and then what I like to call bounty hunters who will be paid in the three figure range. Money for quality that is how the semi pro world is, but with this comes the EGO.

How can clubs justify spending money on these known players if they do not produce week in week out. Speaking from experience, I have just dropped four leagues from the Conference South to the Wessex League to join this club and have taken an 80 pound cut on my wage to play for the team... I was given no negotiation. Where as a player from the same league moved to the club and is now contracted for just one year...and he hasn't played at a higher standard than myself. Using this as an example, on Saturday I sat on the bench for 80 mins while the team struggled to penetrate the other team. I know the manager, didn't make any changes as he didn't want to upset any of the "big time " players, but if they can't get the job done give someone else a chance I mean that would happen in the real world...subsititions are made all the time for incompetent players.

Quote "Wimborne website" After 78 minutes, Chris Kennedy came on and looked very lively, coming close to scoring on a couple of occasions, and setting up even more chances, but the ball just wouldn’t go into the net.


On a happier note I have just found out that cheese and onion is probably the most versatile chris there is. Salads, sandwiches, fajitas you name it they go with it.

And thats what really grinds my gears!
