Odd Man Out :

Can you spot the odd man out?

Minutes To Midnight :

I was reading the morning newspaper today, and i chanced upon a little snippet labelled : Mixed Response to Earth Hour. Now for those of you who are unaware of what "Earth Hour 60" is, let me brief you about it. 

Earth hour 60 was an initiative by the people to spread a message regarding the protection of our environment. Every light was supposed to be turned off between a stipulated time of 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm. Moses Pereira, director of World Wildlife Fund, said "People all over the world have come together to send a strong message to our world leaders that the issues of climate change should be treated on priority basis."

Quite a heart melting theme indeed. Will it be helpful in any way? I rather doubt it. When people "all across the world" come together during such events, majority of them just want to be a part of an event, in there otherwise aimless life, so that a few years down the line, when something really is done by the "world leaders", they can bask in the glory of it and have something to talk about. As for the rest, who seem to be "genuinely concerned" about the environment, majority of them will be having Air Conditioners running on full blow, many will be using filament lamps, and several people will be having inverters at their place. 

Okay, now how do electric appliances really contribute to climate change? Well, I know for a fact that the MOST conventional source of energy (In India at least) is coal, rather the burning of coal. Which implies that if people use more energy, (which they sure do), they burn more coal. the waste products of the burning of coal are (the now famous) greenhouse gases, lots of hot water and ash. The hot water is let into rivers causing thermal pollution, while the ash ends up in our lungs. To add to that, the Generators themselves are outdated and inefficient.

I have not even touched upon the mad use of cars these days, which certainly affect the climate.

Now, if someone gave a Rat's arse about "climate change" they would become engineers and change the generators, they would sweat out hot nights, they would put their PC(s) on standby when talking on the phone or, switch off the LCD (otherwise the power guzzling CRT) while performing a virus scan or while downloading from the internet, while simultaneously ensuring that the television is not on in the other room.

But apparently, farcical activities such as "Earth Hours" etc. are "the in thing", which leaves me pitying the handful of genuine caring people who are trapped amidst glory hunters trying to leave their mark on proceedings. Have to leave for breakfast. 

Cheers.  

Broken, Beat and Scarred :

Manchester United lost two games in a row for first time in 4 years, to a resurgent fulham side. Although, several decisions not going our way, and despite looking the better side in the second half. Second half? Fuck you all who are sympathizing with United fans. It is a fucken great side, and fuck all you Fulham fans, go enjoy your "sweet" victory and then keep battling against relegation in the next season. Bitches, S.O.B(s), Cunts, Dickheads.

Phew, now that the rant is over, lets clear things out. Chelsea have also lost to Tottenham Hotspur and so we await Liverpool to do what they have done best, bottle it. No credit taken away for their victory at Old trafford, yeah they worked hard, after all it takes a lot of strength and determination to open the gift wrappers.
I actually had a mild fever, but it has eased out after the Chelsea defeat. As far as the league is concerned, it all melts down to which team wants to win it the most.
So I am signing off after a crazy evening, hoping fervently that there will be some prick in my colony who will mention tonights match, and whom I can beat the shit out of.
Seek and Destroy Baby. Yeah.
