Human Stereotypes

Now apparently since im still fairly new to this, a little more about me might be quite fitting. Some might call me fickle if I am just being angry at things all the time.

But I am a student, mind not your normal student....

Not many people can claim that amongst the rockers and the geeks, they were a stereotype sat undiscovered. The sort of student that much preferred a bottle of red wine and several hours of classical music to standing in a dark dingy room full of people crashing into you because its “fun” listening to music more repetitive than daytime TV antiques shows. Im the sort of person that has a music library diverse for Elgar to be pro or preceeded by megadeth and La Roux, that happened yesterday.

Some would call me talented, others just saying experienced, the people talking sense saying that I have put myself through many different hobbies to reach a horrific averageness before quitting to try the next, like throwing a dart at a board with your weak hand at a list of things to try.

Its not about the winning, its the taking part as they say

Sometimes seems like a feeble attempt to cheer up those less skilled. Or as probably more often used, a vaguely arrogant comment to spark another duel between winners and losers.
I am a competitive person with a bad temper, of course I might snap if you beat me then rub it in, what do most expect? A pat on the back and me saying 'oh jolly good old chap, next time let lady luck's sweet song ring in my ear'?!?!?!

That would make me sound silly.

the thing i hate about

Public transport, I'm an avid user on grounds of being a poor student. It gets me (vaguely) to work but it serves no more of a purpose than a bowler hat at a star wars convention... sure its there, you were prefer to have something else but its all you could get. that turned out to be a much more viable metaphor than planned....

But there is such a mundarity attached to the same route taking such an exaggerated amount of time and costing more than it would to hire a jet pack to do the same distance. I hate the arrogance, Signs on the roof about the green “credentials” of public transport. Lies in the majority, ‘reduce your carbon footprint, take the bus’. I'm sure the world’s carbon footprint would be much lower if people didn’t get a bus to go two stops. I'm sure they feel good about it too. If people like that wore pedometers, it would be in minus figures flashing “you lazy sod” every other step.

As that famous saying goes, it isn’t a bus journey without an insulting driver. I genuinely got told off by a driver once for standing at a bus stop and there was some traffic. It was one of those strange times you are almost apologising for keeping someone in a job.

It isn’t just the bus itself though... there are some self obsessed people travelling on them with such arrogance it is almost ironic to their surroundings. Like that guy that likes to sit on the slightly raised seat wearing sunglasses (even when it’s raining) just so he can lord it over everyone. Anyone else thinking, he’s compensating, the bus equivalent of anyone who drives a flash car. It wouldn’t have been quite so beautiful if he hadn’t looked like a love child of the Andy Fordham and the Hairy bikers. Science has come far too far for this to happen.

And whistlers, I have to say I enjoy whistling but when its amazing grace whistled at half the normal speed with more wrong notes than the average boy band live concert, it takes some amazing grace not to ram the newspaper he is reading down his throat. 

Eurgh what is it with chavs (or charvers) playing techno on the back seat? Did I want a rave? Surely there would be much much much more strobe lighting on the bus if ANYONE wanted you to playit.

suppose i better introduce myself

You know what sod it, your not getting an introduction. Im getting straight into the crooks of life
To be honest anyone reading this at the moment knows who I am so it would almost be insulting to tell you all again. But on the VERY off chance this becomes something more than here for the sake of it and to be able to say 'some experience in online networking beyond social networking sites' to my CV then here goes

Im Matthew

Im currently 20 although this is up for debate

I study chemistry which will guarentee three personality stereotypes have just popped into your head.

1. No I dont wear glasses
2. Ok i like bowties and quite like the 'electrocuted' hair style
3. Oh and my social life cosists of more than being on my computer and making silly putty

Just to conflict matters im a Trombonist which, to people who know the typicals of brass players, are generally know for being ridiculously loud and extroverted. There are others also in there like most likely to be an alcoholic but wouldnt it be mundane to fill a stereotype?


Couldnt have picked two more polar talents (chemistry jokes are free).

Sums me up like.

So yeah check back here when you fancy it, something might have angered me enough to rant
