agendas, change, questions, why

Why is it human nature to want to change at the slightest sign of attention from someone who seems to be much cooler and more accepted than yourself?
Is it right to treat people who you have worked with for over 2 years like shit just to fit in with and get in the good book of a newcomer? Well this is certainly a question on many peoples lips in my field of work at the moment.
People who create pointless problems, just for the sake of creating them, and then don’t even face the music when they are rumbled, should be shot in the head, point blank. It seems to me that making trouble and staring shit is at the top of peoples agendas, and that not fulfilling this agenda is like personal sacrilege.
Personal Rant Over.
Just take a look around at people today, an decide weather you know the real them or not. The chances are the answer will probably be no. Because we tend to accept people upon face value and derive a conclusion on their character from that, however we have not been told this is wrong yet, only in racial or religious circumstances. If the situation is not one of the above then it is perfectly normal to judge based on first impressions or simply face value.
Why do people feel this change necessary? Is it an excuse to use the sorry state or modern society to have a little experiment with themselves and see how many people they can manage to piss off in a day? Or is it the fact that they actually don’t care what people think and they are ‘just doing what they want’? Either way i think it’s ridiculous that change is a result of some pre-madonna’istic view of life and the people within it.

Welcome to the new look, fresh and ready blog. I decided i needed a change, and that i was taking myself to seriously with that other theme {ocean mist} no offense to the guy that designed it, but it was too much to look at and i felt it was detracting from the content slightly.
As i always do when i have a re-design, i also shuffle things around. This time i have decided to start-a-fresh and go the whole hog and delete previous archived posts. So i guess this is a ‘Hello World’, first entry post.
I have recently got back into bloging after i started my reflective blog as part of my Degree in Broadcast Media, i would show it to you but you need to be a student at Hull to view it. It takes me back to the good old days of my technical {geeky} blogs and the lengthy {not} reviews i wrote on new gadgets and stuff.
So here goes, lets see if it works, or if i get fed up with this design and format. I don’t know about you but it really like the HUGE title. It makes me feel all important and stuff.
Just before i go, i will mention {rather than post a new blog on it, and hide this one} that i went to see the new movie ‘Quarantine’ last night. I really enjoyed shitting my pants on a regular basis, it was rather humorous for the people sitting behind me. I would give it * * * * as i feel there wasn’t enough character development/background and that the film would have benefited from that.
However, it is a must see if you are into your Horror like me.
