The Peoples Lab Podcast

Yes, It was officially recorded yesterday. I think my job is just to build up hype for the blog while Julian fiddles with it. Apperently he is having trouble (no difference there) with hosting or something.

Not Long Now…

This Has, Been Said, So Many Times That I’m Not Sure If It Matters!

This has nothing to do with the Fall Out Boy song that I stole the post title from.

I feel like a reporter with a hot story and so I will write like one.

On Sunday, reports were leaked of secret phone calls between a one Mike Lewis and a Julian Sharma. The pair had a 50 minute discussion about a collaboration blog. Their new collaboration blog has again been renamed and revamped, this time for good. The new name is believed to be “The People’s Lab” and is looking to launch on the 1st of Feburary with not only a podcast, but a featurette. The featurette will include articles about certain topics the pair wish to make, film reviews, music reviews and tech reviews. The pair were hoping to start “Pseudo-Democracy” (their last collaboration idea) before Christmas but due to techincal errors were unable to meet this deadline. The pair have been spotted twice and on both occasions were heard discussing this new site.

Yeah, so, enjoy.

A Storm Hits and I Miss It!

On Thursday some huge storm hit the whole of England. The worst storm in 17 years. Was I caught up in that storm?No. Did I even know the storm was happening? No. I remained asleep for the whole day. Come to think of it I did wake up every now and then to endless noises out the front.

Then on Friday, I was shocked to find that my area looked like a war had happened over night. Three trees uprooted, one of which seemed to be effortlessly dragged across the road.  An entire building fence knocked down and tons of traffic lights out. Even Heathrow airport had to cancel flights as the planes were being pushed off course by heavy winds during take off and landing. Scary, eh?

Luckily I live where I live. In other areas it was worst. By the coast, the sea was battering the nearby buildings and up north somewhere, some buildings collapsed. Even Lords Cricket  Ground had it’s roof ripped off.

Murbles

I decided to add it to the dictionary as it seems it is not as widely used as first thought (seeing as I did make it up).

Murbles – (noun) Little balls of coloured glass, more commonly known as ‘marbles’.

Also…

Nuclear Bombed – (adjective) To be attacked by nuclear bombs.

Shilpa – Is it really racism?

So, Celebrity Big Brother has recieved over 10,000 compliants of racism. Obviously some of the public has negative views of what has been going on. Myself, I think their being petty. Some of the housemates don’t like her, that does not make them racist. If they say some things about that also does not make them racist. I think the whole situation has been blown out of proportion and I wouldn’t be surprised if Big Brother itself were behind it.

I do draw the line at some of the things said and that some form of punishment should be pursued by Big Brother. It is unfortunate that a dislike for someone had into spill into some forms of racism, but it does happen.

‘The trio also complained that Shetty had touched other housemates’ food with her hands.

Lloyd said: “You don’t know where those hands have been.”‘

- Taken from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6268401.stm

I for one do not see this remark as racist. I would complain if someone I didn’t like were touching my food. I would say things I don’t actually mean. I like the trio mentioned are in the same situation and merely did not realise some of the things they said is considered racist.

The thing that makes laugh about all is, is the fact it has been addressed in parliament. Leicester East MP Keith Vaz has taken it upon himself to table the Early Day Motion. Obviously this MP has nothing better to do then sit at home and watch Big Brother. Next he’ll probably be attacking Eastenders.

I Regret Nothing

If only that were true.

I just can’t seem to help myself.

One person to the next.

It needs to stop.

Only I can stop it.

Look Around You At The World Today And Tell Me What Use Is There For Sanity!

I wrote a cool ass poem about London City.

Click Here To Read It

But I’ll write it here too because I love it so much.

London City

London City, sitting proud,
I love every street and every cloud.
From sitting at the rivers edge
or standing atop the towers ledge,
inspiration from all around,
from visual joy and joyous sound.
Now I sit in my London home
and wonder why I sit alone
in London City?

15/01/07 By M.W.D. Lewis

Cool, eh? If I don’t say so myself. I got my inspiration from various English poems. E.g. London by William Blake or Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802 by William Wordsworth. Another two of my favourites are On Monsieur’s Departure by Elizabeth I and Verses on the Death of Dr Swift by Jonathan Swift.

 

New Song and Poem

Yay, I finally started to write again. I wrote some poetry on the back of my exam paper, but I can’t remember it and the examier took it.

Anyway, The poem is named: Thinking Of You

And the song is named: You Deserve What You Get

Also, I added a new page (My DVD Collection) and deleted an old page (People Mentioned On The Blog). Ooooh, I also changed the theme back to it’s orginal, if you hadn’t noticed yet.

enjoy.

The Real Bible

In the beginning there was The Big Bang. This created the universe. Then through a process of evolution humans were created.

Now let’s skip to Jesus. Jesus was NOT the son of God. Mary had simply had an affair and couldn’t bare to tell Joseph. Joseph was a devote Jew and trusted Mary abit too much and ended up believing Mary was pregnant without having sex. He put this miracle down to God. What a tosser. Mary didn’t have the heart to tell him he was wrong. So Mary and Joseph set off to Jeruselam. They found a stable and rested there. Little did they know it was a sheperd’s stable. When he returned and found the couple he was quite annoyed. By this time Mary had given birth. He tried to force the couple to leave, but they didn’t. So, he went to find the town’s wise men.

Meanwhile… the wisemen were off predicting another one of their crazy predictions. This time they claimed some child born tonight will become King of the Jews. They told the king, who ordered all the children to be murdered. The wisemen felt incredibly sorry for all the mother’s that had given birth tonight, when a sheperd explained his story. The wisemen decided to try and save as many children they could and decided to start with the one in the sheperd’s stable. The sheperd took them to the stable and the wisemen made the sheperd give them his donkey. The wisemen told Mary and Joseph to escape on the donkey. Mary and Joseph explained they had no money or belongings so, the wisemen gave the couple what they had on them: some gold coins, a copy of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and some Murbles (now pronounced marbles). So off the couple went.

Pick up the rest of the story from the Bible.

Revision???

I can honestly say that I hate revision. It physically and mentally kills me. What I normally do is try to find something else to do to make excuses. Normally I will do no revision and manage to pull through and get a good grade. I fear this trick is not working this time round. I found myself sitting in my exam thinking what the fuck is this all about.

Anyway, I’m writing a dictionary. It’s the Mikeford Dictionary. Click Here To Read.
