Does smoking make infanticide look cool?

The Facebook game 'Farmville' has claimed yet another victim. This time through inspiring a woman to shake her own baby to death because it was interrupting game play.

Now look, I've thrown my fair share of controllers at the wall in gaming tantrums but to my credit I've never aimed them at a baby's head. The mother in question adds to a list of many others whose lives have been ruined by the game.

Can't un-tag no matter how hard you try

Farmville is seemingly so addictive that people have lost their jobs and racked up debt and the recent events have fuelled debate as to whether video game addiction is the cause for the destruction.

What is it with people like this and their lame addictions? It reminds me of this woman who was addicted to Coke Zero. Coke fucking Zero! This obese Australian woman had something like twelve one-litre bottles of Coke Zero a day.

That's an insults to addicts everywhere! Coke Zero is not good enough to get addicted to. If your going to destroy your body at least have a decent addiction like cocaine or heroin, or hell, even plain normal Coke.

Now the video game addiction obviously didn't make Alexandra V. Tobias kill her baby. Deep inside she probably loathed the infant for ruining her life (and what a life to ruin, oh the farms she would grow!) but what struck me was the following quote:

"She told investigators that she shook the baby, smoked a cigarette “to compose herself,” and proceeded to shake him again."

This woman can't even murder a baby in one go! She had to have a cigarette break amidst shaking her baby to death. To calm the nerves.

'Chuck the kettle on love I'm just about done with this one, I'm just gonna have a quick spell.'

This scene is a true clash of what is cool and un-cool. We all know that in the movies when a character is smoking a cigarette and blowing some guy away it doesn't get much cooler than that, but we are also very aware that killing a baby is totally not cool.

So how did this woman look puffing on a cigarette and shaking her baby to death?

Unless she travelling back in time to kill Hitler I just can't imagine a visual where she could look good. Even if she was killing Hitler, I'd want her to give the guy a chance, wait till his at least eight years to do it. If your going back in time to kill Hitler you'd have to be a pretty big ass-hole to kill Hitler when he was a baby.

I'd kill Hitler when he was like fourteen or fifteen at the stage when he had the impulse to have sex with a woman but hadn't lost his virginity, then I would show him a picture of Blake Lively (he'd love her - blonde hair, blue eyes) and say:

"Guess what you're never getting buddy? Should have thought about that before you tried to enslave humanity in the future."

The last thing adolescent Adolf sees before he dies

And then I'd take a puff of a cigarette "to compose myself" and blow him away.

Broken promises and broken dreams

Well, it's been ten days without a post which means in just two weeks I've already failed to keep updating this thing regularly.

However, this is not a failure but a lesson.

I realised that the reason I have not been able to keep with the relatively tight updating time line isn't because I'm lazy but it is because of my writing process.

Basically when I get an idea for a blog I write it in what I like to call "A Word Document" which is an extremely popular writing program from Microsoft.

Microsoft Word was first released in 1993 for the Xinix computer system. Originally a stand alone product, Word soon became a incorporated to Macs, PCs and Atari ST.

I remember using Works but being embarrassed that I was not cool enough to be able to use Word. I actually  received a lot of  bigotry and prejudice because my family did not have Word. At school my assignments were graded poorly strictly on the basis that they were printed on Works. As a result I was at the bottom of what I like to call my "Class".

A class refers to a group of students that attend a specific lesson at an educational institution.

Now, I would write my article and then save it using one of Words many functions. It's pretty obvious I am no genius, so I what results from the first draft is usually of low quality (unless I'm the fucking ZONE) and I shape the work into readable material through subsequent rewrites.

So the first draft of the blog is in my computer and I tell myself "I will rewrite that a couple of times and then post it on the internet for all to see".

But, because I am constantly writing first drafts of stuff and rewriting other drafts of other things it gets lost in the pile of "To Do's" and I usually never get the time to flesh it out into something worthy of being blogged.

Plus there is a mirror next to my computer which draws in a lot of my attention.

What results in all this procrastination is my blog dying without being updated for ten whole days (that is an eternity in internet time).

However I have reached a philosophy that will save me.

From now on, I will work on my articles and rewrite them the usual way and when they are good enough I will post them on my website (www.milliondollarcompany.com.au) BUT for my blog posts, I will begin typing not in a word document but in the actual fucking field of the blog of which I'm typing right now.

Everything I write will be improvised, polished and submitted in first draft form. Just like this article right now, I had no idea I was going to say these things, I just wrote the title and began typing. Do you feel how fucking raw this shit is? Straight from my mind to your screen, like improvised telepathy.

So one promise has been broken and from it arises a new promise, just as Jesus brought forward the new covenant, in triumph I will ride into web Jerusalem on a cyber donkey and put forth my new promise:

I will post twice a week and every post will be from start to finish unplanned, improvised and unedited. It's like live T.V (in the sense that both things exist).

Who knows what will happen?

Doesn't matter actually, no one fucking reads this bullshit.

PS: Do they? 

 

Che Guevara. Mahatma Ghandi. Lady Gaga.

I've noticed that there is an lack of Lady GaGa articles on the internet so I have decided go topical and post up a new article. Check out the link, and read what is there.

First Blog Post

There is a huge chance you will disagree with almost all of the bullshit that I will spout on this page but just know that these are only the mild opinions of someone who ultimately doesn't care.

Go check out www.milliondollarcompany.com.au for some of my better articles.

Also, if I ever find some cool shit on the internet I will promise to link it up here and spread it on.
