I finally spent some cash on Amazon. The last sentence could be used as stand-up material by anyone who spends more than 5 seconds near me as my Visa seems to have a perpetual collumn for "Payments to Amazon". Hey, fuck-it, if it'ss just numbers on the screen it doesn't exist for real surely. Maybe not. Anyways, this time I spent on Henry Rollins TV series - Season One. I'm loving it. Granted I'm a fan so it's not like he had to sell himself to me but still, it's good. I love the fact that he puts his opinions out there for all and sundry. He's a thinker but not one of the World's greatest yet, if the smartest people in the World don't get their opinions out into the ether then are they worth anything? Surely a half-thought idea thrown into the mix for discussion is better that the silent solution? Fuck knows. Maybe I just dig that he's as loud and irritating as me and I can only hope to keep angry and opinionated through 40 and above.

A favourite moment is where he has a jab at the Blackberry. He's not a huge fan of technology so he quite obviously doesn't get what they're for. I don't agree with him, he's not working a 9-5 job with those kinds of pressures (that's not to say he 'aint got his own pressures, they're just different). I don't have one but I get why some do. Still, you don't need to agree with someone to get the sentiment.
