if people were directionless they would develope reasons to
destroy eachother. work keeps us sane and happy. i know this
cos ive not had work for a long fucking time, and its shit.

I was at Uni for 5 years. Pretty directionless, cos I didnt
do a placement year. Just did the course so that i could get
the free money and buy myself some time/freedom & not have
to work. I can see already, as a working person, that they
were the best and most special days of my life. And I didnt
take them for granted. They went so quick, but i appreciated
them fully.

I had my friends living with me, a decent internet
connection, with food, clothes and shelter over my lazy ass
head. It was perfect, and i couldlive that until i die if
only feasible.

Still, i appreciate your point, and i guess there has to be
a balance. Some peoples personality requires for them to be
needed to work to contribute to society. I dont just join
the dole and do the same shit out of a kind of pride
installed in me, and the fact i have a fiancee to answer to.


When you work, free time goes SOOOO quick. its disgusting, a
waste of life.

Hmmm.

shit we are human. if we didnt have work we'd make work for

yeah think about it, people work not out of desire to be
like everyone else, but because in today's world you HAVE to
work to survive, unless you're some kind of savant with
society like that guy in 'catch me if you can'. i mean i
respect people that work because it shows that they're
taking the time out, their soul, their energy w/e you call
it, and they're actually maintaining a life for themselves
to witness beauty, or to raise a family, or to just be
alive. People who are working just to work really are just
ignorant to the fact that they are dispensable.

Yeah, that's the thing that I dislike most aboout religion.
It pre-conditions people to practice under that religion, so
even if you don't want to, peer pressure and something
inside you that you had no control over the development of,
say you should. :/

I know what you mean about the neighbour- it is hard not to
get dragged down by such people. My supervisor at work drags
me down sometimes when he talks about stuff such as his
prediction that the world will run out of resources in 30
years, lol. It sounds funny now, but him talking at me for
so long wears down my resistance and I start to believe his
bullshit. Yesterday he was talking to me about humans
growing gills...

I hope you realise your dream of starting a business. What
kind of business do you want to start? It will be good to
avoid tax, but you will have to keep meticulous records and
business may be shaky- worrying about it could keep you up a
lot of nights. Sorry to say things like this, but I just
think you should be aware. Maybe have a fun, easy part time
job and then have your own small business too. That way you
could retain some job security, at least. But also have some
degree of independance. Wow- that was pretty good, I could
be a careers advisor! :)

ANyway, I hope things turn out for the best for you my
friend.

Yeah. I have been nearing emptiness. First I felt crap, then

I almost felt nothing. Not nice. But I haven't felt
completely empty just yet.

The alternative to work isn't just idleness. To be ludic is
not to be quaaludic. As much as I treasure the pleasure of
torpor, it's never more rewarding than when it punctuates
other pleasures and pastimes. Nor am I promoting the managed
time-disciplined safety-valve called "leisure"; far from it.
Leisure is nonwork for the sake of work. Leisure is the time
spent recovering from work and in the frenzied but hopeless
attempt to forget about work. Many people return from
vacation so beat that they look forward to returning to work
so they can rest up. The main difference between work and
leisure is that work at least you get paid for your
alienation and enervation.

Wow, even leisure is criticised! :O

But I understand the context. Everything is work, or work
impacts everything, even leisure time.

Yeah, man i'm well looking forward to Ponyo! Its a shame
that Miley Cyrus' little shit sister, and the youyngest
fucking Jonas Brother are doing the main english dubs, but
on the plus side, Ghibli isnt now owned by Disney, they just
distribute Ghibli in the western world. In theory this
should make Ghibli films cross over into the mainstream, but
they're just too weird and wonderful; even 'Spirited Away'
winning an oscar couldnt do it really.

Yeah, I hope Ponyo is great. Looks insane in the trailer.
More child-orientated definitely, but then so was a certain
other Ghibli film...

I had a bad morning shift. Everyone was being dicks and
pointing out where I had not done my job properly, while
they just stood around doing fuck all. But I won't do pan
bash today, which is the crappiest job in the kitchen, so
that's cool. :)

Plus, I don't have all that much to complain about. Day off

AH, right. I should get my facts right, hehe. I just saw the
two names together and became unhappy. Cos they own Pixar,
right? Another bad thing.

Yeah, I guess you're right- Ghibli will neve be mainstream.
Popular enough for them to continue to make movies, but
non-mainstream enough to be known only by cool enough people
I hope. ;)

Yeah, I wasn't too happy about the dubbing. My friend
prefers the dubbed versions. He liked the cat-king dubbed
voice in The Cat Returns. It is very different to the
Japanese one- sounds like a Jazz musician, which I am not
sure if it fits... What do you think? Or do you never use
the dubbed versions?

Ponyo looks good. Pretty much every Ghibli movie is child
orientated, isn't it? :/

I guess all Ghibli movies are made predominantly for
children. But i guess i just mean that 'Mononoke', 'Howl's'
etc. all seem a little more mature, and maybe aimed at
families, where as 'Totoro' and 'Ponyo' seem more simplified
and easier to understand for younger children. I dont know,
i'mprobably talkin shit. Who cares, they're all wonderful!
:D

About the dubs, i have seen a couple Ghibli's in both
subtitled and english dub forms. They are slightly different
translations at times, which puts a different spin on
exactly the same visuals, which is fun. I would say i just
about prefer english dub, cos they're generally pretty
decent, and its better than having to read.

Yeh, I think Disney actually own Pixar, but they seem to let
them get on with their own thing. 'Wall-E' was awesome, and
loking forward to 'Up'

Yeah, I see what you mean. Mononoke is aimed at older people
as well as kids. It is quite deep in parts.

I still prefer Jap audio with Eng subtitles, but I do see
what you mean- it is easier without subs.

I thought that too- Pixar doesn't seem to be affected by
being owned by Disney.

Tell me what Ponyo is like if you see it afore me! ^^
