What are Placebo doing now?

No, this isn't related to the previous post in any way. I'm talking about the band Placebo.

I mean these people.

David Bowie's once favorite band. And that... er... person... singing with Bowie is a guy. Just to let you know. So, they're one of the 90's British gay bands. They are still around, though. I could say they have recently parted their drummer, if you are a kind of person who considers '10 months ago' as "recent." A couple months after the disaster of touring with Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance, in other words, Projekt Revolution. I guess it was too much for such a decent band. Nothing has been heard since then, except their bassist's releasing a new album with his side project band. No new drummer. Are they tired from moshing emo teens? They are searching for a drummer, right?

What am I doing today?

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the one magic sentence that makes every day special.

Until I started to go to a boarding school where EVERY SINGLE DAY FEELS SAME, that thing worked well. Daily life floods with little special events. I used to ask myself this question every morning and get answers like this: "Haircut today", "Dinner out", or "Nothing, but Friday's still good anyway." I think doing this just ensures that there do exist special events in life.

Young People

I hate people who are younger than me.

It isn't that bad yet, obviously, regarding that I'm only 15(turning 16 next month).

I hate kids. They are nice to look at and nothing else. They are sometimes nice to touch too, but you have to be careful. Kids are little kings of arrogance. Who said you can beat anyone and not get beaten back? Why do kids hit everything with something hard? Funny they shouldn't hit things with anything soft like a pillow or a sponge. Someone's got to make a toy sword with a plastic grip and sponge blade. I still don't know, though, those evil creatures might grab the spongy part and hit with the plastic part.

I also hate people who are younger than me and are in my class. Like, a full year younger. That makes me feel like a retard. My birthday is in August, which means I could be one of the youngest kids in the rising junior class or one of the oldest kids in the rising sophomore class. It's not that there aren't some people who are older than me in my class. But still, I'm going to start my senior year after I turn 18(well, maybe not, but that'd be a bigger tragedy if school starts before my birthday). I've already repeated half of freshman year due to the difference in curriculums. Why do Western schools freaking start in September? Can't they even make school year go along the calendar? Every school in the world should start in January and end in December. That's some convinience.

Free Web Accounts

One of the biggest mistakes of the Web is "delete."

Websites that offer free blog accounts should disable deleting thousands of posts by a single click. A ton of people use blogs for their diaries. It indeed is not the proudest moment, looking at your old thoughts and rants. But just deleting them? No, no idea deserves to be lost like that.

Do souls exist without memories? I don't know.
