Pretty Girls Make Graves.

Upon the sand, upon the bay, there is a quick and easy way you say?
Before you illustrate, I'd rather state.
I'm not the man you think I am.
End of the pier, end of the bay, You tug my arm, and say.
"Give in to lust, give up to lust, oh heaven knows we'll soon be dust."
Oh, I'm not the man you think I am.

        I don't think any compliment of any form, be it in song or just spoken word, can really justify what Steven Patrick Morrissey has done for music. I personally can't really put into words how I feel about his music, it's just too hard. Every song evokes a different emotion until the point of me aimlessly sitting listening to the lyrics rather than doing what I was previously. I don't know why I'm trying to put it into words actually, it doesn't really need any. If you listen to The Smiths you'll know what I mean, if you don't then so be it, but you're missing out. I say you are missing out as if it's something that's currently happening, but no, I think I would give up a lot of my life just to witness The Smiths playing. The closest I get is my dad talking about how amazing they were at Glastonbury and at this place and this place bla bla bla. 
        Anyway it's the V festival announcements tonight at 11:00, or so I've heard. I've already got me ticket along with a few friends so either way I'm going. I hope there are atleast a few bands I've been itching to see. If I don't want to see any of them then I will still go because I know it will be an incredible weekend again. The chances are though that there will be a great number of the acts I'll love - I think I'm hoping that Beady Eye play more than anyone, but I doubt it. You never know.
         Doesn't arrogance make your blood boil? I hate being told that I'm arrogant or that somebody thinks I am. Because I am not. There isn't a need for it in the world - how can anybody think they have the right to be better than someone else. I understand being better than somebody at sport or having generally higher intelligence, but surely there is nothing that allows you to feel like you are above somebody else. Especailly, when you come from a similar background, you come from the same small town, your friends are friends with their friends e.t.c. I don't like to rant but recently people have taken me to a degree of annoyance that I do not regularly visit. Everybody is the same realisticly, it doesn't matter how you put it. You bodies contain the same organs and run the same way, so stop thinking you're better than everyone else or you'll get a massive SLAP on your left cheek from JMEbbk. Not the real JME anyway, just his Twitter account. (He's my buddy you see)
        Writing this has sent me from a state of ecstacy, to being in a poor mood. One of those where every little thing annoys you and makes your face screw up. So I'm going to call it a day. I'll leave you with a video from youtube that I enjoy listening to when I'm down - it helps me realise there are nice things in the world for your ears (not just earmuffs - is that one word? not sure).
