| Shall I make a website? |
| 07.15.05 (6:33 am) [edit] |
I am thinking of setting up my own website. some swish interactive website that other people can join, use and utilise. trouble is though... i have not ideas what to do it on... i have so many differing interests that if, say, i decide to set up a site about graffiti, it will be brilliant for about a month and then i'd want to change the site into something else. my solution to this is to have a site akin to wikipedia that permanently evolves and gets bigger and more complicated until it is my brain on a server.
any thoughts on this? any ideas on what my site could do [apart from make me a little money through advertising]?

And so... It was amazing. 205,000 people in Hyde Park, staring a a dot in the distance that turned out to be Paul McCartney. A most amazing sight: a million people across the world clicking their fingers to signify the death of another child. A low murmer of awe as Kofi Annan, Bill Gates, Brad Pitt, and David Beckham were rolled on to show their support. An awe inspiring feeling of total passion and unity with a vast swathe of humanity from across classes and boundaries of the UK, and for a totally worthwhile cause. And for a moment, a fleeting moment in the middle of the afternoon, I felt it: hope. For just a second I felt like I could change the world. I could make a better place. I could actually DO something.
...and it felt beautiful.
Marred only by that fat woman who had never come to a concert and thought it wher her goddamn given right to be loud, patroninising, uneducated and frankly one of the most horrible people I have ever met. But I was strong and I forgave her. I walked on and did not rise to the occasion. I smiled sweetly and went on my way.
Marred only by the Scissor Sisters who decided this would be the perfect opportunity to promote their rather bland new single. No, now was not the time to do that... now was the time for support and entertainment.
Marred only by Mariah Carey who only enhanced the protrayal of a rude, arrogant and shallow prima donna who saddened me with her attitued. It saddened me because she thought she was doing good and being right. In some way it was, but in a very very wrong way. Plus she promoted her new single too.
Marred only by Pete Doherty being a cunt. Pete, if you're going to murder a song, don't choose a Mark Bolan song. And next time, remember the words. In a couple of years he will be dead and the world will mourn a divine singer songwriter. But his antics still made him a cunt.
Robbie Williams can entertain you; Sting is rather bland; Razorlight were FANTASTIC; the Who were too old and half of them are dead anyway. Pink Floyd were sublime and had nowhere near enought time. But will never be seen like that again. Madonna was great, as was almost everybody else. I wish The Killers were on longer than they were.
I hope it all helps and we can change something...
