So i have another rant. This doesn't relate to any of the above at all. It's just something that annoys me. But i never really noticed till Friday. Lets set the scene.

It was a dark and stormy night.....well, actually it was just after 6 and was kinda clear night but it WAS dark. I had just gotten off the train at Epping and had started to stroll to my (mum's) car which was parked in a nearby street where a lot of commuters park.
About 10 metres in front of me was a female of a similar age to me. She was obviously walking to her car too. Once the shops stopped there isn't much light in the street. So what happens next is what my rant is on. She was constantly (every 15 seconds) looking over her shoulder to see where i was as if i was a threat and about to attack her or something. Maybe i was reading into it too much. I didn't choose to be walking just behind her. It's just where i was. So i don't have a big problem with her personally. In fact i have no problem with her at all. It's what she was doing and what society (and the facts of it) had turned me into. Because i was a young guy walking behind a girl, i was assumed to be the bad guy.

What a tradgedy that that is what the world is like eh? It was good that she was checking i guess, but the fact that i was assumed bad guy. NOT COOL!

RANT OFF.

I found the Wiktionary (Wiki Dictionary) definition of "Rant" very interesting. Click here...

Koosh

So...i haven't written here in ages. And i am coming back with an utterly serious posting. I was reading Time today, and there was a mention of a Koosh Ball. Now i had totally forgotten these existed. They were those weird smelling rubber kinda things. I used to have one. No idea what colour. All i remember is that they were really good for pegging at people coz they didn't really hurt. A stupid pointless toy (is it a toy?) that i remembered today. So i am now sharing that deep thought with you all.


What toys did you love? Any insignificant ones like the Koosh?
