I went for a walk yesterday. Not, I hasten to add, on the wild side, but through the neighbourhood. On the other side of the mountain – of course. It wasn’t long before I became accustomed to the meandering rhythm required to navigate the urban obstacle course of doggie-do, vagrant vomit and random refuse, so my mind was also free to wander. Naturally, I wondered as I wandered:
– They say misery loves company – does this explain why there are so many corporate drones?
– If money makes the world go round, could we reverse the rotation by turning our wallets over?
– Why do they put indicators on BMWs?
– Did clouds have silver linings before the introduction of cloud seeding*?
– How come there aren’t more super-heroes in Cape Town?
– If “all the world’s a stage”, why do we bother with theatre and where does the oyster come in?
– If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, where are all the spaceships that brought us here?
– James Blunt?
– Why do we call them ‘deadlines’ when we aren’t actually allowed to kill the people who miss them?
– Would astrophysicists be less obsessed with the Big Bang if they got laid more often?
* it would take too long to explain
Money makes the world go round – but sex makes it spin.

James Blunt is a mystery to me too. But maybe it’s just me – I didn’t get the whole Bruce I’m-singing-with-a-lot-of-marbles-in-my-mouth Springsteen thing either.

You are a deep thinker Kyknoord. Getting laid more often would cure you of that. At least partially. 😉

Beastarzmom: If you play Bruce Springsteen records backwards, you hear him singing clearly.
3T: Unless you’re being laid in your grave. For most people, that’s pretty much a one-time affair.

If you have a strong belief in god, then the explanation for The Blunt is simple; he’s a test.
If on the other hand you think the devil has more of an influence, well. That explains a lot.
Personally, I blame all those buyers of Bluntian cds. Are they insane? Am I insulting the genuine crazy people by suggesting they’d purchase The Blunt?

In a recent survey in NME (Music Magazine) James Blunt came top in both “Most Liked” and “Most Hated” Album of the Year.

I still think the ancient mayan ritual should be revived where the losing team in a game of _____ (insert name of sport) has to offer up one of their players.
Is this comment off-topic? Maybe I should rather go with “getting laid more”
