I'm really sorry if I turned the list into a mass of weeping folk last week, commenting on how crappy and bitchy life can be ('how bleak life is, man') but sometimes, a boy has gotta do what he shouldn't. But hey - the topic has changed onto books. It's true - kerouak was a drug fueled hippy who wrote books for people who had why posters on thier walls. My sister has a friend who does theology as one of her electives at uni, and this person was sitting an exam, with a question which people were writing screeds about, giving their theories on life. The question read "why?". The person wrote "Why not - shit happens, so get over it", and got full marks. A good answer, I think. I'm still bleedin' inside cause I haven't said anything to he girl. Still, we're going to a celtic match in about 2 weeks (for americans, and others, celtic are a 'soccer' club, or as mr tommy burns might say "celticfootballclub"). If we score lots of goals, that would equate to lots of hugging opertunities, pehaps a passionate embrace, or two. unless she were to hit me and say - "get lost". and I would feel really bad about life and everything. A 'yank' (sounds like :- 'wank' ) said

They live in Scotland, yeah, but Scotland gets hot, too! Why were all those kids from Trainspotting running around in tiny little t-shirts? Eh? You can't fool us yanks! Next thing I know you're going to tell me heroin makes you sweat!

What the hell would you know? you don't have to freeze your crystalballs on the 2 mile walk to school (this is no joke - 2 miles wth frozen balls - read it and weep). Still, I am able to polish (you might say 'buff') them up to a lovely crystal sparkle afterwards. And anyway, I wouldn't know about herion, drugs are evil, and so are obese americans (the american bit was a joke, the drugs bit wasn't) Scotland, glasgow in particular, is an bad place. It is full of 'bams', 'neds'. Hey, the film is coming soon - in KAPPAVISION tm. Fran Healy from travis said on a teletext page that with us scots, if life gets us down, we write a song about it. He is also meant to be a chum of Stu M - in fact, b&s were refereed to by the teletext page as "trendy glasgow band belle & sebastian". Oh my god - does this mean that we are all, as fans, trendies, and in with the "cool set". hope not. (by the way, do you like my new, and hopefully improved, tag?)
