Books, budgies and strangers
My blog this week is mainly about a programme I watched called LIfers, this programme filmed in a prison depicts the life of several inmates that are serving life for committing murders hence the name LIfers.
I was horrified by the people in this programme, one man who had murdered someone had his own room with all the luxuries and even had a play station and two budgies! I mean who bought him the budgies us the tax payers?! Another man showed absolutely no remorse as he told the interviewer that he had got fed up one night after watching football so decided to stamp on a mans head for an hour and an half and then dragging him into some bushes, he says that it could happen to anyone out there! He also said if it wasn't for his crimes he wouldn't have gained the qualifications he has today, he said he can now spell and read better than he could before. I couldn't believe it. Another man said that one day he had the urge to go out and kill someone so he did, people like this should never be let out ever. The people on this programme actually seemed to like life in prison I mean why wouldn't they, they get 3 meals a day, they get all there bills paid for, they have no rent to pay, they even get tattoos free and degrees, so who is paying for all this, yes you guessed it, it's us! We are paying for some murderer to do an art degree while everyone else gets in tons of debt if they want to do a degree. These lifers are living life in a five star hotel, they are in. O rush to get out. The thing that bothers me the most is the fact they don't seem to care or think what they have done is wrong.
Another issue that brought to my attention this week was this little game that people play called lets pretend I've never met you before in my life. Those people that you used to know and then one day for some reason you stopped speaking to them or vice versa and now you have to act like total strangers. You have to see these people out and just ignore them like you don't know them, who the hell invented this stupid game because when you think about it it just seems absolutely ridiculous right? You could have known someone for years and then one day you don't speak to them and before you know it your playing the let's pretend I don't know you game. I mean why does nobody ever just defy the rules and go up to the said person? I mean what's the worse that can happen, are they going to say " sorry do I know you" when did we become so pathetic and childish. The thing is WE all are guilty of doing it, I say we all grow up and sort it out because you can't go on like this forever.
My final issue of the week is the book called fifty shades of grey, if you don't know what I'm talking about you must have been living on another planet for the last 6 months. This book has become the most best selling book to have ever been written it has even beaten the harry potter and twilight series, the Uthor has apparently been making over a million a week. For what exactly? The book is probably the most badly written book I have ever read, it is full of spelling mistakes and poor grammer Nd mainly consists of the phrases " holy cow" and " oh my"
But yet everyone wants to or has already read it, why is this I wonder, I believe it is because people want to know what all the fuss is about, people know it is bad but they still want to see what all the fuss is about for themselves. It is one of them books that is terrible but you still want to read the 2nd and 3rd book just to say you have.
It's official the world has gone mad
