Things to Write About...

Friday morning... Day 12 without beer, not fading at all. I have learned (okay, always knew) that there has been cans of Fosters in the fridge. Shocking. Well, not really. It's been good without any lager, clean thinking. It's fantastic.

Look what I found!! A shout out to Louise who wrote me a couple comments so far on the page. I am Canadian, aren't I? Doesn't everyone in England know that already, eh guys? I don't really do much to hide it, do I?

I'm gonna try and decorate the site with more of the Opiated Sherpa Productions logo and a couple more Maple Leafs. Yeah, it's gotta be done. Then you'll all know who I am. Granted, if you're here already, you probably know. Ha!

"But it begs the question....should people have the ability to choose whether their future children are boys or girls, have blue eyes or brown?? There's big hype and debate over here about it right now.....apparently this genetics technology is possible for people seeking invetro fertilization, and of course it has all the bible thumpers up in arms about it. But is it really that big of a deal if you can make those choices?? Is it hurting anyone or anything???What's your angle on it?"

Thanks Louise. Yes, that is a good topic. I thought about that in the painful silence that goes in my head when I'm working at the factory and not talking to anyone. Hey, it's less painful than Jeremy Vine's show on Radio 2. I'm sure everyone can agree with me on that one. Actually, a Blog on how I'd kill Jeremy Vine would also be a good idea... you know, if I saw him in the street, I wouldn't hesitate to jump at him with any sharp object I found in the street. Sorry... moving way off topic here.

Anyways... the topic at hand: Designer babies. Well, since evolution isn't allowed to take it's course anymore, I think it's fair to have designer babies. Not so much with the colour of their eyes or colour of their hair, but to remove certain mutated genes to prevent all the diseases and syndromes that science can now determine. But with the good comes the frivolous and well that's the harm of commercialism. There's always something better that the rich can afford and designer babies can be one of them.

If I was to have a child, I would like to know that I have the option of making sure that it doesn't have Down (spelling?) Syndrome or early forms of cancer. Theoretically, if you procreate in a different gene pool, you're more likely to have healthier and more beautiful babies... hence in-breeding isn't the coolest thing since the knife that cut sliced bread.

I would prefer the idea of having a random coloured baby though... but that's personal preference. I suppose a quick 20 quid could keep your kid from being Ginger and that would be a quick back door deal, but otherwise... brown, blonde, black hair... it's all good. Healthy & happy is what I want the most. When my child outlives me and I can give it words of wisdom on my death bed (or in my case, utter silliness), then I can die happy, I'm sure.

Bring back evolution though. That would be great. Let the human race evolve. Let the weak perish and let the strong grow stronger, that's what I say!

Thanks Louise. That made me feel a lot better.

Today, I'm off into town to go find the next book in the Hitchhiker's Guide series, 'Life, Universe and Everything' That's also supposed to be really good. I'm in a big reading kick again at the moment. I have spent quite a bit of time reading in the last week. That's probably because I have been living in the Middle of Nowhere.

I would write a story about the Middle of Nowhere, but I don't really venture outside anymore. It does kind of scare me. Plus, I'm living in the village that my Aunt and Uncle live in and I don't really get on with them too much anymore. Anyways... moving on.

Well, if I'm not out tonight, I might post one more today. If there is anything interesting going on or I think of a good topic to write about. Jeremy Vine: don't think I've forgotten about you, mate... you're time will come.

Might head off to Cambridge on Saturday... waiting to hear details of the impending day out. Could have some good photos from that, if lucky.

Movie idea came to me last night for a joint venture between www.DirtyHairyMouth.co.uk and Opiated Sherpa Production:

DIRTY HAIRY MOUTH
presents
Get The Canadian Married

Ha ha ha... it would keep me in England without the hassle of all this crap paperwork with the Home Office. There would be some, but no one would argue with a marriage certificate, now would they?? Maybe SHE would... but she'll be drunk when she says yes... AND it will be on film, so there's proof. HA! This girl won't know what hit her (not in the literal sense, of course).

Okay... signing off now... like I was going to six paragraphs ago...
