So i'm not allowed to discuss the c-bomb and now i can't talk about fashion either. There's just no keeping Squires' high-brow audience happy is there. I might go back and edit my post (if i can't write a new one) to include ugg-boots worn outside the house - that's a definite no-no.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">You really get a lot of satisfaction publishing rants&#8230;comments left under posts&#8230;page hits&#8230;whole discussions on other peoples blogs about your posts without commenting on the post itself&#8230;</p>
<p>So i&#8217;m not allowed to discuss the c-bomb and now i can&#8217;t talk about fashion either. There&#8217;s just no keeping Squires&#8217; high-brow audience happy is there. I might go back and edit my post (if i can&#8217;t write a new one) to include ugg-boots worn outside the house &#8211; that&#8217;s a definite no-no.</p>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> There really are a lot of fit women in Frankfurt<br />
<strong>Berger:</strong> There is a huge difference between &#8216;fit&#8217; and &#8216;accessible&#8217;.</p>
<p>I used to watch a lot of stand-up comedy when i was living in Australia. I&#8217;d go to uni during the day and straight to work at the Rusty (RSL, club, pub) and then get home at 1-2 in the morning or so. Of course you can&#8217;t go straight to sleep as anyone who has done shift work will tell you, so i&#8217;d watch tele. What else is on at 2 in the morning than the comedy channel.</p>
<p>I remember this clip and I&#8217;m paraphrasing something i saw about 8 or 9 years ago here, but if it rings a bell and someone could tell me the comedian&#8217;s name i&#8217;d be much appreciative. Google gave me nothing.</p>
<p>You know when you fancy a girl and she tells you that everything is so good between you that she&#8217;d just like to keep it as friends? Imagine that in a job interview&#8230;</p>
<p>Thanks for coming Tommy. We&#8217;ve had a look through your cv and it&#8217;s very impressive. You&#8217;ve got written down here that you&#8217;re honest, not afraid of commitment&#8230;you&#8217;re good looking (creative licence rocks!)&#8230;we&#8217;ve seen you&#8217;re hilarious&#8230;basically you are exactly what we are looking for, but we&#8217;d just rather not. We admit, you are perfect for the role, in fact so much so that if you wouldn&#8217;t mind we&#8217;d like to keep your cv on file and call you to complain about the guys that we do take on and how bad they are at the job&#8230;</p>
<p>Want to know how to keep a fool waiting? I&#8217;ll tell you next week&#8230;</p>
<p>No seriously, do you want to know how to keep a fool waiting? Send him a text message which reads:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>* some text missing *cking Amazing!!!</strong></p>
<p>Watch how long they wait for the rest of that message to show up&#8230;</p>
<p>I have realised i have become desensitized to life in general. For a while i thought my body was just rejecting life. Strange illnesses, bites and rashes&#8230;it was just like i was allergic to being. Now it seems my mentality has joined the party. I don&#8217;t know that i experience polarities of feelings anymore. I don&#8217;t really get happy, or sad, or find things funny or scary or horrifying &#8211; i get annoyed a lot but that doesn&#8217;t really count. I find it hard to remember a time when i could truly answer &#8220;i&#8217;m happy&#8221;. Sure, United winning cheers me up briefly, and music still elicits a reaction, but the rest is some sort of unresponsive, indifferent, grey numbness. I can&#8217;t surround myself with music and football every day. I watch movies and tv and barely register that it&#8217;s on. How did i like the movie? It was ok. Was it? I have no idea. It is my standard response to everything. How are you? I&#8217;m ok. Am i? I wouldn&#8217;t know. I&#8217;ve given up caring. I&#8217;ve managed to remove almost every thing or person which was causing me anxiety or stress from my life, to the point that i just float around independent of connection. I look forward to the occasional argument to fire up the coals of my wit to see if it still works. Would a change of scenery help? Probably not. I don&#8217;t know what would. I&#8217;ll just carry on my semi-detached existence hoping that something sparks me back to life. I&#8217;ve gone from being a man of bridled enthusiasm, to being a man of bridled participation.</p>
<p>Told you i was fucking hilarious.</p>
