Today dear read we close the book on the world that is "Life In colour" ends in a blaze of colour and effluent
Why?
Re-invent, repackage, restart
The three Rs that make me up
Like Scoops at a AA meeting I have seen the error of my ways
Stories aren't meant to be sad affairs of misery and prolonged sadness, no Stories are suppose to have happy endings (I hope your listening George Romereo, I was tres pissed at the ending of Day of the Dead!) and entertain
Quoting Transmetropolitan and obsessing over things isn't what Rob's all about nor is F'n and blinding and cursing god for my own flaws
So we're closing the blog down, much in the fashion in begun, short sweet and to the point
I'll explain more when the vino is out my system

Course it dwells on me after reading my last two weeks worth of posts it dwells on me
"Rob, shes gonna think your an asshole"
After she reads about all these "get over her" deals she's gonna be pissed at me and rightfully so
Kids learn from my mistake:
When you Assume you make an Ass out of u & me
One of the reasons I had that get over V stage was because I assumed she hated my guts and assumed i had done somthing majorly wrong, in reality what i Should have done was ask her directly and she being a good friend mended the rift
I get the feeling I should stop digging this hole Im in

Forums hate goths, Ok we goths dont do a lot for the PC brigade or the PR rings but it wonderful how all kinds of goths get grouped in to one big black style of satan worshiping sad kids with emotional problems a passion for suicide and self harm
Well as a lesson in Robenomics lets see how "goth" I am:
> I only wear black, but thats fashion not gothicanna
> I'm 20, Techniaclly (like it or not) I'm not a kid
> Ive never met, worshipped or had coffee with satan
> Ok Ive tried suicide but that was substance related
> Sad.....Its hard to pin me to a single emotion, yes Im not always sad, I have apthetic, mean and evil on my side
Im not a goth goth, Ive said that before and I'll say it say it here, But compared to you i am technically a goth....be happy

| » Distorted Priorities |
|---|
I've been thinking dark thoughts today, about Manchester and the recent spat of assholness on the net and perhaps it' time we redressed the priorities
As of today, my priorities are thus:
The well-being of my friends and family
This is a given I would think, now my friend in hospital is out I think we can return to normal visa vie anguish and suffering, but now I'm moving this could change
Finish university
I can not, REPEAT CAN NOT fail university.....I've hit some roadblocks that have slowed me down (for want of a better term) but I will not be denied my degree! Yep this a all-guns-firing situation kids
Get my self back in shape
The fact I'm wearing 38 inch trousers is a little worrying seeing as they cost so much and they are hard to find as most stores only go up to 36, given that after 6 years it seems I'll finally be losing these braces I've had since secondary school (that suppose to had removed back in 2000 but was aggravated by the Volkswagon incident) it seems that now would be the ideal time to get back in to shape
My university has a gym, I do a lot of lifting and carry at work, eating right would certainly help so it looks like reinvention to come... the question is am I going to give up my Goth image?
Salvaging what I can from feburary
Like university, losing is not a favourite game of mine, but feburary was the exception...I lost I'll admit it but now is the time for thinking in terms of damage limitation (albeit a little late), I'm going to go & try make friends with V, see if I can salvage our friendship, maybe she'll like the new me or maybe she'll join the ..... club  evil grin
Keep this journal going
I wont deny it, I don't know who reads this but you certainly a good audience, you rarely talk back, and when you do it's always a pleasure (unlike some places), this places has been my little window on the world for nearly 3 months now, even if the updates slow because I no longer have the net at home, I wont stop
Making as much money as possible outta ebay
I love ebay! plus I can get rid of old shit doing it
That's my new set of aims

|---|
See i never saw what racist people saw - Some black people are great
Today I did business with a ebay guy, he was pleasant, shook my hand all very gentlemanly, let me tell you the story
I was selling a sky box on ebay, I just bought it for 60 quid and sadly i'm moving so i'm selling it on, the guy who won email me and said could he pick it up (12 quid P&P is a bitch after all), i said sure and a date was made
Phil had popped round and was like "Their gonna grab the box and kick your ass!" so I told him to have a little faith in people
Then the guy turns up in his swanky car and phil's like "OMG he's black, he must be evil, Rob's gonna die"
Have faith I said, he was nice on the phone and I'm sure he's level...
Off I went, he was a nice man, I offererd my limited assistance if he had a problem , we shook hands and he went
Totally on the level and good
I should have given him a five off cause he thought there was a remote, damn my late thinking hide
Makes you think, not everybody is a stereotype
Damn phil never was the sharpest toy in the box was he
Till tomorrow, think those warm thoughts

I followed some scoops advice today (that should have been my first clue to how this end) and told V about my move to manchester
She took it oddly well prompting my idea that maybe she would glad to see the back of me
Of course I dont know that (denial is not a crime kids) so I'll continue the merry fool routine a bit longer
Looking round at the crappy job, Uni and life this town has given me, I'm gonna be kinda glad to see it go
That's a little harsh, It would be nice to start fresh though where nobody has any knowledge about who i am because they heard rumours (you follow me here?)
Till tomorrow....you know the score

| » The University Is Burning |
|---|
As much as it pains me to do so I'm going to reuse an analogy but I will
I feel like Nero as Rome fell, playing my metaphorical fiddle
Today was a black/white day, black because that Utilitarianism essay, your remember the one I spent 29 hours writing, distracted by my friend in hospital and all my other problems came back with a E grad, now I don’t know if E is a pass or not but I have to go in tomorrow and talk about it, I'm tempted to drop philosophy, then I remember Phil’s 4 golden words: "What would Jimmy do?"
Jimmy Scoops wouldn’t drop a course because it was tough, Jimmy Scoops wouldn’t take defeat and run, Jimmy Scoops would fight back, Jimmy scoops would get drunk and paint profanity on the walls
That’s why I wont quit philosophy, cause I'm a lot like Jimmy Scoops - i look fucking good in a hat
Now the white half of today, the university caught fire...nothing dangerous just a table sized fire so I’m told - i didn’t start it so I don’t back that up, it was a bit zany, Alex (you don’t know Alex i haven’t mentioned him yet) couldn’t use the stairs or the lift to get out the building because of his wheelchair, now while it isn’t funny for poor Alex (I feel for the guy don’t get me wrong) this is suppose to be a high tech facility...it cost 150 million and their rule for the disabled stuck upstairs is - wait for the fire brigade to save you, we're not even allowed to carry him down
I(t was weird there was like 1000 people crowded outside with fire engines and yelling and smiling....it was a beautiful sight for a beautiful day
Still the university almost burned down
That’s always a plus
Till next time, Go play in traffic

Boston Big Battel! It's been almost a year and a half since the last Boston Big Battel, but Kaiju is finally coming home on May 1st for May Day! Mayday! Boston SOS! Speaking to gathered media throngs today, the Kaiju Commissioner could barely contain his excitement. "Boston has played host to some of the most Dangerous, and exciting Big Battels in Kaiju history, so I have no doubt that May Day! Mayday! Boston SOS! will be an evening of unparalleled entertainment and Heroic victories!"
The current annouced card
- Battel 1: Eternal Justice of the Aquatic Kind: Neo Teppin Vs Call-Me-Kevin

- Battel 3: Fruit, Flora, and Fauna Face-off: Los Plantanos Vs Marutambo & The Grudyin
- Battel 4: Kaiju Championship Belt Contest: Unibouzu Vs Hell Monkey
My rundown:
- Battel 1: Eternal Justice of the Aquatic Kind: Neo Teppin Vs Call-Me-Kevin
Does Call Me Kevin EVER win these days... He's suffering from Homeless Jimmy syndrome.....Actually I want kevin to win, Kevin all the way on this martian!
- Battel 2: Mystery Hero Debut Battel: Gomi-man Vs ?
Do we need more heroes? Who ever it is I say a win is totally in order to put them over
- Musical Tribute to Silver Potato starring J-Pop Superstar Chikako
If Broklyn Double Danger was anything to go by, expect the Posse to deal out some major kick ass on the foil wrapped one again
- Battel 3: Fruit, Flora, and Fauna Face-off: Los Plantanos Vs Marutambo & The Grudyin
Techncally Marutambo's in ring debut (First fight out he was still a minion in human form), I'm hoping the doctor has a plan (I'm a posse member myself :devil: ) IE SDS-1 in the wings for the assist
- Battel 4: Kaiju Championship Belt Contest: Unibouzu Vs Hell Monkey
I was tempted to route for Unibouzu when I saw that Kung Fu Chicken Noodle was AWOL however I twigged what was going to happen, expect Hell monkey to retain either by soup assist or Call me kevin going hero on us

|---|
So I'm at work, this is my lunch break and this is my lunch break report
Work sucks, i feel horrible
Still lets lighten the tone:
This weeks Jimmy Scoops Joke:
Jimmy and me are sitting in his backyard grilling a fine T-bone steak on his ancient BBQ
and suddenly i hear a noise in the bushes
"What’s that noise?" i ask
"Oh that’s just the boys in the neighborhood; since i got Bruce my new milk snake they’ve been hiding in my bushes hoping to see it"
I scratch head and replied "Jimmy.... why do kids want to see your new snake?"
Jimmy shrugs his shoulders and tells me "Because man....My Milk snake brings all the boys to the yard"
Well it makes me laugh
Still it could be worse:
I still lay in bed at night try to work out if that’s a moo cow on the yellow thing behind him, i have my priorities out of sync again :(
More later

| » Retirement on the cards again? |
|---|
It seems as if I shall be moving to the north, in particular the land of Manchester which is very sad because if i move this would almost certainly mean a end to AOL, and with it my Socratic dialogues with El Diablo, my drunken lectures from jimmy scoops and, my surveillance of a good few forums..... The way things are shaping I would also guess this would mean a end to the internet at home in general
I could (and perhaps should) retire completely from the net, focus on my university work and get a decent result, move on from V, find myself a real woman for my needs (in the emotional sense pervert) and get on with my life....
Bah!
Let’s be honest, after the first 4 retirements i doubt they (or I) would believe it....
I'll keep you updated on this

I missed a few days didnt I?
Thats very naughty of me
V surfaced again in rejecting my Dawn of the dead offer, sadness there, then she wanted to know if she could come over, I said sure, bit of glee there, then she asked if my mother would be there, I said yes but she'd be out the way...So roll on the time she was suppose to turn up, I'd cleaned he pace (finally got ride of the amass of cardboard under the sofa, did my hair all nice, changed in to my familiar Black and whites and she txts me and says "sorry I cant make it", still I shall not concede a loss here (do I ever?) Next week I'll ask her to Dawn of the dead (I REALLY Want to see it) and offer to put her on my tab (i have big money shoulders
I’m undecided about tonight, part of me says go out clubbing (am I ever going to leave this room?) the other half of me says stay in and watch RAW on sky sports, *sigh* Triple H over booze.......what is my life like now :(
Somebody asked me today what's it all about...I assumed he meant life so I'll break it to you like this:
Life... Life is like being in a S&M nightclub and your all surrounded by crack addicts and pedophiles, you know the kind who you went to school with, anyway your not allowed to leave till you decided what your doing tonight, you vote for TV, everybody else will vote for raping you with razorblades
That’s what life's like, your want change, your want what's right but others will fuck it up for you, society's wrong....
not you

Surprisingly No jimmy scoops news today...bah
I installed AOL 9 and boy is it fancy, now I have a calendar telling mew my deadlines, which is cool cause it IM's me and says "Do some fucking work"
Toonami is showing new episodes of my favorite show "The Big O", I love it, more sirs!
What’s this:
Test image, I want to see if she holds
I got the invites for the retirement show today, 250 of each 4 versions we had made (the building will only hold 700 but I wanted to prepare for those "No sirs", I'll post them this week
I’m pretty tired, it’s been a long day
Therapy went very well, there’s this girl…Rebecca, she is very interesting…almost as nonchalant as I am…could their be life after V? Probably not
I'm going to ask V to see Dawn of the dead next Wednesday, I'm hoping she'll say yes, we both know she wont but we're see

| » Another week of perpetual unplesantness over with |
|---|
When I look back on this week the subject in hand is quite clear, this has been a week of false optimism
You know it, I know it and no doubt even Jimmy knows it too
I had one single moment of unadulterated bliss and the man upstairs took his right hand, held it for all to see and proceeded to beat me back in to my unhappy world
New comers little me refresh your uneducated minds to the situation
The girl I asked out on Valentines, I call her V because I'm not heartless, she is still a friend of mine even if she doesn't think the same of me, returned after a month long absence much to my own glee (I had removed here from my cell phone, my email and my MSN because I wanted to get over the V-day bomb, needless to say my friend almost dying in hospital played a major roll in that too
The same day i was thinking of going to a bar, meet a new set of people, drink out the memories so to speak but when she told me she'd email me... well I didn't want to go out anyway
I haven't heard from her since
And this makes me immensely sad, not knowing is arguably the worst pain I can feel these days
I dont know why she is so silent, is my fault? is it something i said?
All I can do is wait
So I propose a challenge to you fair viewer:
3 days then I leave it, let it go, send the ship to sea
I'm going to give her three days to call me, txt me email me or whatever
The third day is wednesday, seeing as i lack any uni Thursday i can go drinking, which i shall do
The deadline is Wednesday 17:30pm

When ever I think about V I remember the words of James P. Senft's poem Club Angel
I can't stop stealing glances at the
raven tressed hottie in the plaid skirt with
fishnet stockings and
a fiery sleeve,
sinfully smoking cigarettes and sipping vodka.
She must have noticed me looking at her
the way Bond, or Bundy viddied
so many before.
She, like I, is way too cool for this place
and she's making fun of everyone around her,
but,
surely not me.
She is...
or, generic romantic poppycock
Yes, she walks in beauty,
but who notices besides me?
Sure, others find her pretty.
Still, they do not appreciate her appeal.
Her gorgeous face and lovely body
are mere parts of a whole.
Her smile destroys my heart
as her voice brightens my day.
It's no bullshit for me to say
that hours pass like seconds in her presence,
and the weights of a hundred worlds lifts
when I see her wide eyes before me.
Maybe
not something to kill or die for,
but close.
Pretty much sums up todays thinking
She didnt reply to my email...maybe tomorrow
Oh and I'm gonna to kill my boss...but we'll talk about that tomorrow

“That’s what a monoculture is. It’s everywhere, and it’s all the same. And it takes up
alien cultures and digests them and shits them out in a homogenous building-block shape that fits seamlessly into the vast blank wall of the monoculture.
This is the future. This is what we built. This is what we wanted. It must have been.
Because we all had the fucking choice, didn’t we? It is only our money that allows commercial culture to flower. If we didn’t want to live like this, we could have changed it any time, by not fucking paying for it.

So this Zealot comes to my door, all glazed eyes and clean reproductive organs, asking me if I ever think about God.
So I tell him I killed God. I tracked God down like a rabid dog, hacked off his legs with a hedge trimmer, raped him with a corncob, and boiled off his corpse in an acid bath.
So he pulls a taser on me and tells me that only the Official Serbian Church of Tesla can save my polyphase intrinsic electric field, known to non-engineers as "the soul."
So I hit him. What would you do?

V didn’t show last night, which I thought sucked
I'm going to hold out tonight but if she don’t show... well i'm going to abandon all hope and go out to Yates and find somebody new to salivate over, that’s only fair after all
El Diablo last night said to me that I should move on (which is valid, I thought I had when she came out the blue like a sexy eagle), SB told me she sounded like a right bitch (which is totally untrue and SB's a crack addict) and Jimmy Scoops has been AWOL since Sunday, the fact it was St Patrick’s day yesterday probably had something to do with that

Yesterday we prevented the return of the saucy tranny Grace with promise of the Quote Boat so lets get on with the Quoteage:
