Quite an uneventful week, except for Wednesday, always an excellent day on the university calender. First of all you have football, which the university team won 3-1 against our local rivals Southampton (scored a cheeky freekick) and then the great varsity night out that followed. Lots of beers flowed between the lips of young adults combined with stupid drinking games to attack certain team members for their stupidity throughout the day. All of a sudden the hockey and netball girls come in completely covered in god knows what due to their recent inniations (all hell breaks lose). The beer stopped flowing and salvia was exchanged between many members of each team.

So why does alcohol make us lose all our inhabitions and just tell our brains mailto:F@£k I personally think that we all have inner strength to approach another human being and start conversing with them and that alcohol is not needed to stimulate the mind. I put the reason for people not conversing on the streets, cafes and work places the ever changing cultural envrionment we are in and attitudes towards education. I think you should go out and try it... go up to a complete stranger and strike up a conversation (and note down how they respond in a cafe) and then do the same but in a bar under the influence of alcohol. I think there will be only one winner... which is a sad statement to make as this could be the beginning of demise for human interactivity (the sober state). I have discussed about barriers before in the computer world its through sites such as hotmail and msn that people truly interact with others and in the real world alcohol and drugs are a barrier people use to stimulate interactivity.

And thats what really grinds my gears....
