My favourite line of the song "I THINK" by Tyler the Creator is "how can I tell ya?"

I don't know.

School Gaming There was a time where I experienced probably the most fun inside lessons at school. It was twice a week, I believe it was a collective two hours across Tuesdays and Thursdays where it took place. We would all show up early, eagerly waiting for the teacher to unlock the one thing keeping us from true excitement. Once opened, we would all pile in, bags smashing into each other, unbothered heads colliding, and the teacher stepping pack the instant after turning the key - he knew the best thing to do was to move out the way, there was no stopping us. Anyway, we all sat down. We press the button. The screen blasts through a gradient from black to a blue hue in an instant yet it feels like seeing colour for the first time. We type in our password and username, open up chrome - and that's it, we were in. There’s something beautiful about playing games on the school computers. It had many parts, and was quite complex. The first of which, of course, was finding games to play....

There's just so much content everywhere, and everyone wants your attention, not in your interest, but in theirs. Attention has been monetised. I don't enjoy being a consumer, it's a sham. Also, what's with this revolut pyramid scheme. Why are there kids coming up to me like salesmen trying to make me convert my finance account for a small cash promise.

My verbal diarrhoea has been pretty bad recently. I have eight hundred and twelve notes on my phone, about three hundred were made in the past three weeks. Dave's new album is really good. I've listened to his music a lot recently. Additi...

Below I have left a very interesting film from 1974 starring Jon Voight. Stop reading now if you don't want spoilers. I don't like to use the word, but it simply was a very nice film. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. The protagonist, Pat Conroy, is a man seeking to redeem himself for his racist past, opting to teach the poor black children of the South. His methods, while unorthodox, aim to break the kids out of their struggle and give them ambition for the future. Their headmistress serves as the primary antagonist of the story, believing in obedience and discipline in an unfair world. It's a strange case where neither character is wrong, presenting the real protagonist as those who prohibit and support segration in education and wider society (personified by the Superintendent). However, the story never becomes aggressive, it remains tame with its message, revealing how life is full of beauty, and no one can take that away from you. There are many fond scenes in t...
