I know it's only Tuesday but since I'm new to this whole cut throat business known as blogging, I thought I would treat myself to another cheeky post. Here's a few little pockets of observation and humour I have noticed quite recently, so here it goes...
Firstly, does anyone between the ages of roughly 16-23 notice the quite humorous colloquial use for the quite dreadful word "rape". Instead of just being a seldom used word to describe a horrific crime, many young people (usually of the student variety) use it casually in everyday life for comical effect usually to describe something being taken or destroyed. Go to the fridge and find the last drop of milk has been guzzled down by your hapless house mate? Well my friend your milk just got raped! On Fifa and Carlos Tevez just ran through your defence with a series of dazzling twists and turns finished off by a 30 yard screamer? "Yes mate you just got absolutely raped!" Come back from a lecture only to find your facebook taken over with crude statuses about bestiality, felatio, meatspinner or a combination of all three...well my friend you've just been facebook raped (now commonly abbreviated to "frape"). This strange use of the word has now spread onto the BBC and beyond as football pundit Alan Pardew quite humorously used the word to describe Michael Essiens dominance over poor Manchester City midfielder Ched Evans on a recent episode of match of the day 2-check it out on youtube. That is all I have to say on this actually, I myself am guilty for using this term quite too often, but not as much as my brummy mate at university-Matt. His accent combined with the use of a word with such a horrific connotation used in such a casual manner makes me uneasy at times (because you can never trust a brummy unless they're a villa fan of course!)
Speaking of crude and biblically disgusting...I recently stumbled onto another website that seems to have taken the world by storm-chatroulette. A webcam based chatroom where the whole premise is users getting randomly paired with different people around the globe in a webcam to webcam style communication. I did have a sneaky look one day and seemed to see nothing but derranged loonatics drinking paint, 20 year old men pleasuring themselves and drunken lairy riffraff teens causing havoc over cyberspace (A cyber ASBO is in order maybe?). People on these websites need to get a life. Although I admit it may seem a good idea as a drunken fumble, (because shouting insults down a computer at a Mexican postman makes me cool) I really have no time for people who spend their time on these websites discussing the new world order with a deep south Texan mentalist alone in a bed-sit caressing his pubic hair.
Last but not least-it's the league cup final on Sunday! As an avid supporter of the claret and blue army, I am excited at the prospect of seeing the Villa lift their first trophy ever in my lifetime. People can say what they want about the league cup but it's usually the teams that get trounced in the third round by teams like Accrington Stanley (who are they?) that cover up their disappointment with non-descript remarks such as "it's a shit cup anyway." Whatever happens on Sunday, Manchester United fans (well, the 95% who don't live in Manchester) have an answer to either outcome. They win it and they go mental claiming another trophy hard-fought and a deserved victory by their club that they love so dearly they have only ever been to see them once on a stadium tour. They lose and out come the age old excuses..."We played our reserves" "Shit cup anyway!" "we're going to win the league/champions league so it doesn't matter!" If you have the ignorance to support a club of whom you have no connection and involvement with, live 200 miles away from at least have the decency to respect the supporters other not so established clubs to which this cup is a big deal to-such as me! Although not been documented as of yet in my blog, I do have my bones to pick with glory supporters and respect the fans that support their lowly struggling local league two club with undying passion that much more.
To recap then-it's now cool to find rape funny, chatroulette is a breeding ground for mentalists and anti-social pervs, and Aston Villa are going to Wembley! I shall be in my Students Union (I would have done anything to be there at Wembley) sporting my Villa shirt proudly getting absoloutely gazeeboed whatever the outcome. But if we don't win, (which in all truth I don't think we will) I will not be a happy blogger!
Cheers then! x
