Move along to the links above! There's nothing to see here!

God (when i say God, i could very well be refering to Allah/Buddha/Beelzebub or whatever deity you feel free to worship) knows what the hell i'm likely to write in my blog...i've never had a blog before, never really felt the need to have a blog - come to think of it, it's only from shear boredom i'm even creating this monster!

Saturday, May 31, 2003

Today I went shopping with the most noble of intentions - to buy the food I wrote down on my shopping list, nothing more, and nothing less:

-mushrooms;
-tomatoes;
-corn;
-carrots x 2 bags;
-capsicum;
-chillis;
-museli x 2 bags;
-onions;
-bread x 1 loaf;
-mouthwash;
-noodles x 2 packets; and
-rice x 1 packet

I came back with the following items:

-noodles x 2 packets;
-mouthwash;
-museli x 2 bags;
-peas x 1 packet;
-corn x 1 packet;
-beans x 1 packet;
-2 minute noodles x 7 packets;
-Tandoori marinade;
-Satay marinade;
-capsicums;
-tomatoes (in a can) x 4 cans;
-carrots x 2 bags;
-indian paste; and
-mushrooms (in a can)

I actually needed/wanted:
-bread;
-tomatoes;

Therefore, I have drawn the conclusion that my shopping trip today was a total failure, in that, not only did I get more than I needed, but I actually failed to get what I did need in the process.

Ok. Here goes nothing *takes a deep breath*:

"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.

Freeman and slave, patrician and plebian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.

In the earlier epochs of history, we find almost everywhere a complicated arrangement of society into various orders, a manifold gradation of social rank. In ancient Rome we have patricians, knights, plebians, slaves; in the Middle Ages, feudal lords, vassals,
guild-masters, journeymen, apprentices, serfs; in almost all of these
classes, again, subordinate gradations......."

Ok so I actually stole that from the Marx and Engels Communist Manifesto but for a second there I actually sounded almost intelligent, I can assure you it shant happen (very often) again.
