Winter's Over
It’s no surprise that I was wrong Black leggings, lips painted, and a diamond thong, And this could have been so much more Face down counting checkers on the lino floor. You do me wrong, I do you right Guess I’ll see you later, but come back next night It’s so surreal, something isn’t right She only holds me when we’re walking through department stores. She...

YAOAY's Made Up Word of the Day
Bongker - a bongo playing wanker. Usually Spanish or Israeli. Occasionally Italian. Almost always has dreadlocks. Tell tale signs to look out for include: playing the bongos way too loud, being out of time with the music/other players, giving unwanted advice to other players, thinking playing the bongos is as impressive as playing a real instrument.

Thought #6
A few days ago a band posted their page on my fb wall saying ‘they’d love to know what I think’. They were really bad. Imagine Dragonforce without any of the technical skill or singing ability. They were bad in a way that has nothing to do with music taste but bad on a purely technical level: the singer just could not sing (a basic requirement for any type of music). I told them that they probably...

Why has giving £20 to a homeless guy made me feel worse not better? It made me so sad how shocked he looked and I feel bad that it wasn’t a big deal for me but it was for him. I also feel guilty I didn’t talk to him. I could tell he wasn’t a drug addict he was just mentally ill. Next time I see him I’m gonna become friends with him. I promise.

YAOAY Thought # 4
There are three kinds of relationship. In the first, one person leans on the other while the other remains upright. This is unstable since if the one who is upright moves away the other falls. In the second, both lean on each other. This is also unstable since each is at the mercy of the other’s movements. In the third both remain upright but stand next to each other. This is the only...

Sometimes you are right and they are wrong. Sometimes they are right and you are wrong. Most of the time you are both wrong and it’s best just to look on Wikipedia.

Thought # 2
Do not keep an open mind but a closed one instead. Otherwise what is to prevent things that aren’t true from entering? Once the universe has presented you with enough evidence that a thing is true open your mind for a brief moment to let that thing before closing it again quickly before other ideas and beliefs try to slip in while you’re guard is down.

Sometimes when I’m on the train I become filled with this almost overwhelming urge to become friends with everyone immediately around me. I hope that one day I do it.

The Knife
yaoayband: My rose showed me a thorn today. One tiny drop is all that came, The tip no thicker than a hair. Compare this to the knife I hide behind my back, I conceal it well, Sometimes I forget it’s there. (C) Dan Robinski, 2011

Thought for the day
‘The Internet is a blackhole. It absorbs energy and personality and then represents it as an emotional spectacle. It is done by businesses that commodify human interaction and emotion and we are getting lost in the spectacle. ‘
