Well think about it, it’d be awesome, well minus the killing people bit. But if it was something like evil aliens or a galactic invader of some sort, that’s “morally” ok to kill. Since I was a kid I always loved the idea of robots, and giant machines to do our bidding. But what if you were that robot, the power of a fission reactor powering you, being able to sense for hundreds of miles around you, being able to link up with satellites to co-ordinate attacks against the enemy. All the time, weird techno, experimental music is playing in the background.
I want to dive head first into the throws of battle with the enemy, massive plasma cannon letting off burst after burst of superheated energy, cleansing the field of scum that oppose us. Swinging massive arcs of chaingun fire, crushing the hoards of chattering aliens beneath my feet. Then to go hand to hand in battle with an enemy equivalent to me. Feel the heat and hate radiating from its scaly armoured skin.
As it’s about to spit a volley blue flame towards my head, I clasp it’s hands, drop to one knee, roll while swinging it, then pushing it back towards its own forces, draw my combat knife, slice its head clean off in a spray of green/orange blood. It falls, crushing it’s own forces. Onwards, crushing the insects below, towards the next challenge.
When I grow up, I won’t be a battle robot, but I’d like to.
I need to cut down on the Warhammer 40K novels.

I need a different job, one where I don’t have to deal with just anybody, I’d like just to have to deal with one set of annoying people instead of all of them.

So today, for the first time every, I participated in a protest. Unless people have being living under a rock (which is highly plausible with the recent crumbling of the economy), there was a budget, an early budget at that. And our beloved government kindly decided to impose sanctions as they’d gone and fucked us over.
With relation to why I was out marching instead of attending classes, it was one particular ministers reach and grab attitude that had a few hundred A.I.T. students (possibly thousand, I’m short, couldn’t see everything :P) marching against the reintroduction of Third Level Fees. Now I understand that money for education is tight, I know the Teachers, Parents and Schools are up in arms over cuts and I know that budgeting has to be done. But what I don’t understand is the complete reversal of what people over decades have struggled to achieve, to enable the citizens of this country access to free education, one minister wants to reverse in the space of a few months. I hope Batt O’Keeffe realises that lots of people hate him and his cut-throat attitude.
I need to clear this up even further, it’s not the reintroduction of “Fees”, it’s the hiking of the “Administration/Registration Fee” by 600 Euro, up from 900 Euro making it 1500Euro. It’s a “sneaky” way of reintroduction fees without calling them fees. What’s worse is that is has not been indicated that the increase will go to the college, which is what the fee is intended for, sounds like a tax.
Anyway, most people know about that, I’ll get back to the protest. We started out at the college, the students union tried their best to get us riled up in the canteen and ready to march, but well, songs a little more aggressive wouldn’t have went astray, felt like being in the pub, being honest. Anyway, off we went on our excursion, main intention of disrupting traffic, getting pictures into the papers etc.. I actually couldn’t believe that so many students would get off their arses and out marching, fair ball to the A.I.T. Students.
Onwards, outwards, aroundwards, we found ourselves marching at a nice slow, traffic unconvincing pace, making our way to our first way-point, the Dublin Road roundabout, then swiftly on towards the nearest Fianna Fáil office, Mary O’ Rourke’s office. Allegedly Mary wouldn’t come and talk to us at our final destination (she’s a local TD and member of the Dail), which is annoying because I actually like Mary, thought she’d have a bit more consideration for her constituents (yes, I voted for her last election). So we swung around to her office and boo’ed at it. There was nobody there. We continued onwards, to our last destination, Athlone Town Council.
There were three speakers, all locals, one a member of Sinn Fein, one Labour the other Fina Gael. Fair play to them for coming out and talking to us (wish I could remember the Fina Gael guys name, good speech, felt real), the Sinner was Paul Hogan, who I think is a plank, but at least he took the time to come down and the Labour guy (again can’t remember his name either), well I can’t tell you much about his speach because I couldn’t hear it, the megaphone wasn’t the best.
Anyway, a bit more chanting, some shouting and we eventually dispersed. (Almost forgot to mention the last leg of the journey (probably done by the students union, the laying of a wreath for Mary’s career at her door step, wonder if they did it.)
The weather was nice, not too cold, dry, perfect for marching, got a bit of exercise, hoarse from shouting though. Good day all in all.

This is kinda messed, I’m in a real foul / angry mood today, as I type, the keys are taking a fair beating. And for what? Nothing, I’m really pissed off for no reason. There are a few little things, but nothing that warrents full blown anger. What the hell is it with the human brain and it’s splurges of stupidity, emotions and swolleness (i’m refering to headaches). I’m good at keeping my annoyance, hate, general unplesent emotions in check, but today i’m gritting my teeth, trying not to lash out shouting at people. Thank fuck i’m not in work.
The sooner all emotions can be regulated by chemicals the better.

Had the weirdest dream last night, probably a nightmare but who knows.
So in this dream nothing really eventful is happening, I’m there talking to some of my friends and family, when I feel my back largest tooth kinda jingling, so I then open my mouth, it’s about a meter wide at this point. I reach inside as far down as my elbow, grab the tooth and yank it out. I’m now looking at a tooth the size of my fist and that appears to be the end of that. Later on in the dream (time has passed but nothing has happened) my mouth starts jingling again, same thing happens I reach in and pull out a tooth from the other side this time, and again, and again. But it’s finally ended, I’m no longer pulling out teeth, but there are plenty left in my mouth. The people I’m with are freaking out, the teeth I’ve pulled out are gigantic, some as big as a chairs others the size of coins. So now my gums have decided to turn into a river revolving around my mouth, a river of teeth. And I wake up.
I think my brain’s reminding me I need to go to the dentist, or to cut back on sugar or something
