It'll all come together in the end...

I just found this cool website devoted to Evil. I thought It was kinda cool so I used their Evil Plan Generator to mastermind the following Plot...

Congratulations on being the creator of a new Evil Plan (tm)!

Your objective is simple: world domination.

Your motive is a little bit more complex: power

Stage One

To begin your plan, you must first seduce a wealthy heiress. This will cause the world to whisper among themselves, unsettled by your arrival. Who is this Demon Straight Out of Hell? Where did they come from? And why do they look so good in Classic Black?

Stage Two

Next, you must seize control of New York. This will all be done from a underground secret headquarters of doom, a mysterious place of unrivaled dark glory. Upon seeing this, the world will give up, as countless hordes of cultists hasten to do your every bidding.

Stage Three

Finally, you must activate your corporate takeover, bringing about an End to Sanity. Your name shall become synonymous with all that is wrong with the world, and no man will ever again dare sneer cruelly at your disfigured face. Everyone will bow before your Cunning Intelligence, and the world will have no choice but to pray to you for enlightenment.

Intellectually Speaking...


What could be a better life to live than to earn a living from your own mind? It requires the use of no physical materials, can supply enough money to live comfortably, can be done by only a small percentage of people (It seems like almost nobody spends much time thinking these days) and results only in personal growth and that of others. I was scoping out wikipedia today as often I do and noted that among other things Che Guevara is described as an 'Intellectual'. This is a title I dream of earning one day.

It's been almost 4 months since Jos died and it's just as bad as it was at the start. I sat down tonight to play COD4 on PS3 but had to stop because I constantly remember playing it with him over and over again. It's my favourite game of all time and i can't even play it anymore. Its not just when i'm alone either. In fact it would feel so wrong to play it with any of my other friends now, I actually cringe internally at the idea.

I'm so fucking tore up inside.

The Call of the Zombie



Fuck RZ is amazing. I want to be just like him when i grow up. He's super cool, mega smart and ultra creative. This dude is a total visionary and I just want to know, why don't we worship him?

Christchurch is a wounded city. The second major earthquake today has claimed over 63 lives at last i heard at 5 pm. On TV i saw a woman with chunks of flesh hanging from her blood covered face as she was helped away by other people. 85% of homes have no power and won't get it again any time soon, hospitals damaged, water and sewage down, many dead, many more missing, city centre thrashed and many landmarks as well.

First Love - Ivan Turgenev




Ivan turgenev's novel 'First Love' is the story of 16 year old Vladimir's infatuation with the beautiful and bewitching Zinaida, told in retrospect by his older self.

Something which really impressed me about this novella was the way in which it has lost none of its relevance and accessibility. Althought it was written in the 18 hundreds it could have easily been from the 21st century. This combined with the fact that Turgenev was one of the great masters of Russian prose means that the powerful and devestating emotions are conveyed in such a way that i could honestly relate in a powerful and drawing way to the experiences and feelings which he expresses.

Turgenev writes in a succinct and straightforward way the majority of the time, which grants this text its clear and open quality. However this style is tempered by his insightful and detailed descriptions of the world around him and the way he is rocked by his emotions. It is these descriptions which seem to make his words linger in the air as if time is stopping between the passing seconds.

In 'True Love' the depth is in the detail.

For once my religous education class was cool... We're studying morals and ethics right now and i was breezing through the work as usual until the word 'Nihilism' popped up and i focused in. I think i may enjoy this year if we actually study things i find interesting.
