70 Things That Need to Be Said
I’ve been thinking too much lately, and these are 70 of those thoughts that I feel need to be in the public domain.
Right, this stuff needs to be said.
- Stop fishing in your wallet for pennies to pay the till person. They have change.
- Till operators, It’s not our duty to carry change for you. Get some bleeding change.
- Lay off the stoners. What are they going to do? Knife you for money to feed their habit? Leave them be.
- Stoners, lay off the pot once in a while. Some of you look as if you’re starting to physically phase out of the world.
- I don’t drink too much, you’re just not pretty enough
- When I lock my front door, don’t call me up to ask where I am and why you can’t come in. I have a life and I lead it.
- Atheists, please, just please pull your heads out of your collective rectum
- Theists, realise that God is not going to pay your rent, feed your kids and buy you a new PC
- No one should neglect their “spiritual side”. This simply means that you need to sit and think about your life, your purpose, your opinions and your goals. Science is a perfectly acceptable solution to this.
- Get a job
- Get off the computer once in a while
- Drink something you’ve never drunk before at least once a month, even if it’s not alcoholic
- If you’re teetotal, try drinking
- If you drink, try being teetotal
- Rock and roll is not a sin. As far as I am aware, the pope has never added it to the list of sins.
- He has however added destroying the environment to that list
- For the love of all that you hold dear, please stop taking the “One person never made a difference” approach. You’re right, one person never made a difference, beyond being something that about 10,000 other “one people” could gather around and make their voices heard.
- Behind every great person was a legion of faceless masses holding them up on their pedestal
- Turn off your light bulbs when you’re not using them. See numbers 16 and 17.
- Always stop to think, but never stop to think too long
- Get a REAL job
- Money isn’t everything, but anyone who says money can’t make you happy is an idiot
- Read at least one book a month. It doesn’t have to be fact, it doesn’t have to be fiction, it doesn’t have to be short or long. Just read the damn thing.
- Write at least 500 words a week. Keep a blog, write a story, write shorts, write a diary, it doesn’t matter. Just write SOMETHING.
- Read other people’s blog’s articles and websites. Okay, there’s a LOT of crap out there (you’re reading some now), but nestled among the faeces is the occasional diamond.
- Buy at least two papers a week and spend at least half an hour reading each. One should be a tabloid, one should be a broadsheet.
- Turn one of your hobbies into a secondary income. It’s not that hard and it’s basically free money.
- Play a few Role Play Games such as Dungeons and dragons or world of darkness. I know you think they’re just for socially inept nerds with asperger’s and a junk food fixation, but they are fun, a great way to socialize, and fantastic escapism.
- If that fails, Role Play in the bedroom
- Experiment with light bondage at least once. I’ve never met a single woman that didn’t like at least a pair of handcuffs.
- Create something at least once a month. Draw, sculpt, write, cook. It doesn’t matter, just create something new.
- In fact, learn to cook if you can’t already. If you can cook, expand your knowledge with regional styles and recipes.
- Cook for friends
- Then make them do the washing up
- Have a decent cook prepare a meal for you once in a while
- Tip where tipping is appropriate
- Sing. If you’re bad at it, do it when no one is around.
- The main difference between men and women is that when men look in the mirror, they always see Adonis. When women look in the mirror they always see Medusa.
- If you don’t know what Adonis and Medusa mean, then look them up
- If you don’t know what something means, look it up
- The internet is a great way to research stuff, but there’s a lot of crap out there too
- Please note that the internet does not mean “Wikipedia”. That is a part of the internet, but look elsewhere too.
- Do at least SOME of your research in a library, if only for the satisfaction of finding what you where looking for the hard way
- Hard, doesn’t always mean more rewarding
- Easy doesn’t always mean better
- Delegate. This is one of the most important skills you will ever learn.
- Every manager who set unreasonable goals and deadlines for you has a manager above them, setting unreasonable goals and deadlines- ad infinitum. People who try to break this cycle never get very far. See 46.
- Get a job that you enjoy. Please fulfil numbers 10 and 21 before doing this.
- STOP SHOUTING
- TV is a great form of entertainment, a great way to educate yourself and a good drinking friend. Please note that it can be two of these three at the same time, but never all three.
- For every night you drink at home, drink in a public house
- Use the juke box. It’s a great way to meet people with similar tastes in music.
- Drink one cup/glass of water a day
- Fad diets are for idiots. Shut up, I don’t care what you think. If you want to lose weight, Exercise, and count calories. Joining a fat club can help too. Put the Atkins book away, put the cream cake down, and pick the running shoes up.
- Give anything you don’t use or don’t want to people who might use/want it. If that fails, give it to a charity shop. Only sell/ eBay it if you need the money.
- Stop panicking and start doing something
- Support local businesses. They will look after you in return.
- Turn up for work with a hangover once. If you can still do your job and no one complains, then go ahead and keep doing it.
- If you can’t think of anything to buy as a gift, just stick a tenner in the card
- Never just smile and nod
- Never, EVER do the above and follow it with the words, “Yes Dear”
- Never give up
- Know when to move on
- Giving up and letting go are not the same thing
- Eating meat is not wrong
- Something died for your steak
- PETA take it too far
- Most people don’t take it far enough
- Stop complaining and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
- Share your knowledge and wisdom. At the end of the day, it’s the thing most likely to live on after you die.
