dear chums,
It's been 6 days, 6 whole days! I know you've all been missing me but I've been beavering away at another project that commanded my utmost attention. See now I've got you wondering, what could be more important than this brillaint blog? But you see I have a life outside this screen and qwerty keyboard. My life doesn't revolve around the internet and what has happened next, the new dramatic prairie dog. But this really is brillaint. I'll post it aswell. Life has more than posting random meaningless topics for other people to drone on and on about. My other project will be exclusively released on this site in the coming weeks and you may also see it in a couple of newspapers of note. I won't build it up anymore, it might hurt. Everyone knows what goes up must come down, especially rocks. I wonder who found that out in the first place, silly idiot anyway. As usual I will say 'I really will blog a lot more' but hey we all know it takes way too much effort and for Spongebobs sake I gave you two the last time.
Until we blog again,
(me and my hand, damn you dirty minds)

The real progress
Hey yall right back again,
Two posts in one day it must be some kind of record for me. Anyway here's the finished thing.
Technology is meant to be the wave of the future. Broadband is getting delivered to nearly every house, we're always being told about the medical aspect of improving health care due to better machines and a teenager is not complete without his/her own mp3 device. These things would not even made public imagination 20 years ago, because we expected a whole lot more.
In 1969 man landed on the moon. 2007 we get Vista. Have we really made that much progress. It seems in 1969 we had literally touched the stars. The new age of technology would blow our minds with robots and computers ruling our life. In fact most people believed that in 1969 the two superpowers would have annihilated each other with some brand new horrifying device capable of wiping out a whole country. The noughties wouldn't even exist. The predictions at that time were not really out of proportion, the Concorde had just been tested, bringing aviation to a new feat and the first ATM in the world is installed in America, the people realised that banking would be changed forever. Their hopes were as high as the ceiling and why shouldn't they be? Technology was going to bring them great things to make their life better. I have heard first hand accounts of boys stating that at the time they would definitely go into space for holiday in the noughties. They believed robots would do the housework and their jobs making their life simply about what to do in the spare time. This has really not happened at all, in fact none of these sensible dreams have become a fact. Where did we all go wrong?
I will admit the progress made in the field of technology has been outstanding. Our achievement of producing the personal computer has changed life forever but why was it made? The change in attitude to technology is simply drive for profits. I know that no one can name one advance we have made that was not done so except for profits. The ipod, technological toys like playstations and Vista are all made for the bottom line. The drive is not to forward our technological prominence but commercialisation. The moon landing had no profit in it what so ever. But it was done for honour and integrity over an enemy. I'll admit that this is not great but it is going in the right direction. I will presume that the government also presumed that there would be long term profit gain but this would only be secondary. The first thought in their head was the American flag proudly being displayed on the moon. What has happened now? A stalling of the space program and a slow tedious build up of the international space station. How did the stagnation happen? It certainly was not a lack of interest but a lack of finance and a thought of balancing the books. Everyone knows that in the first year if business you expect a loss and usually into the second year but the Americans gave up. The Russians concentrated on building of arms and the Chinese were too poor at the time. A sudden interest has evoked again with the Chinese sending men into space for the ultimate goal of putting some of their overwhelming population into a space colony. The Americans have become frightened and have put more money into their space program. The Europeans have finally got their act together and are working positively.
What happened to the other ideas of robots. It seems that this is slowly getting along with investment bankers holding the purse strings. The public perception in 1969 was one of 'ah sure its only a matter of time' and they are right. It is only a matter of time but the length of time is the key idea here. After twenty years what have we got to show for it? The only available mainstream robots being children's toys and all they do is respond to pressing of buttons. The A.I. side of things is totally underdeveloped. I know progress is being made but just too slowly. Money from governments should be flowing in as they attempt to do their job,
to help the standard of living in the country and solve the nations needs. The only worthwhile effort that has been made so far is for the age of departure. According to our census the standard of living has improved and people are starting to live a lot longer. I feel now it I could predict that in thirty years time we would have robots that would follow our commands and tell us the date is June 2037. The realistic view is we hold our destiny in our own hands and our choice of developing our technology rests solely on us and if we chose to follow the dream then we can. The only problem is changing the outlook from profits to the prosperity of advancement.
Yours,
Conor

Greens volte-face
hey yall,
The lack of current material is because of the lack of interesting things to say. Well it's going to pick up and I've started with yet another political analysis. The greens are just doing my head in.
Life is all about how you deal with the problems. The idea is to run with the wind at your back and if the wind isn't there then bring a fan, turn it to high and put on your running shoes. That should get you going. This is the greens in a nutshell. The amount of problems they have had with their volte-face, it is truly embarrassing. They have campaigned on some issues like Shannon, Tara and the co-location of hospitals. They have given up on these 'girls' and wandered off to find a shiny black merc staring them in the face. Bikes, what bikes? I wonder if they will give up on that too. Sure the bikes don't even run on vegetable oil, then what use are they to give up on.
This all said, I show an admiration for Trevor Sargent and his honourable actions. He really is a different type of politician. He sticks to his word even before the controversy has started about his past sayings. That said he didn't have to do a 'deal with the devil' (according to one green member) and could have not quit his position to join the now opposition and become the minister for the environment. There's always a choice, but this is where the admiration grows. His party wanted the supposed deal with the devil and he went along with their 86%. In doing so he knew he would have to stand down as leader. I don't see our own shadowy Bertie heading to his own party convention and asking the party for their opinion. He just does what he wants and nobody challenges him. Now that is real power within a party. Not even a whimper out of Dick Roche. He then decided to be generous and give two cabinet seats.
The Greens are lucky to have that fan behind them blowing them up the hill even after the shoes decided to stick to the honourable running. What will be interesting now is the comparison with the now 2 Regressive Democrats and when they were in government. They effectifly became the whipping boys when the sly and cunning Bertie gave them the two most troublesome ministries, Health and Justice. I have noticed that the supposed two biggest complaints were the state of our health service and the social problems on our streets, and surprise surprise the PDs had both and it turned to be their biggest meltdown. The greens now only face minor headaches and are possible to get over with their wise ploy to take safe cabinet seats. They will be strong enough to deal with the problems and maybe even get some new running shoes. The wise words once told 'the best way to get over someone, is to get under someone else'.

Cardboard?
Hey,
Its been some peoples lifetime since I last checked in. A full four days, long enough to sit up a kebab business. I have not done so but that hasnt stopped me considering. I'd think we would sell burgers aswell. I always hear people saying 'tis all cardboard anyway, that crap' but some people love cardboard. Some people even buy it and eat it everyday. How do you think McDonalds is in the market, good luck and an irish name, ha. You see its all down to the image, a clown with red hair has really won over the clowns. When you win the clowns you get their promotion at the circues. You never hear a clown saying 'hey you stop eating that cardboard!'. Just never happens. They are the real power brokers. Or power breakers as I like to call them. They can break McDonalds power anytime by exclaiming about their unhealthy cardboard obsession. It's fine when we're talking about healthy cardboard but this is one cardboard of a multinational corporation. Everyone knows not to trust those clowns. Anyway I'll leave short and to the point. More coming up tomorrow.

Dodgeball Vs Politics!
Politics is a dirty game, best played in appropriate clothing and hands shaped in mud-slinging shape. The idea behind is similar to dodge ball, you will either hit hard enough so your opponent doesn't get up and requires a life support machine or be able to dodge enough so your opponent does not score a hit. Olympian Bertie has enjoyed the latter of these two and enjoys polishing his teflon taoseach name plate.
He has dodged so many balls, caught them and thrown them back. Apparently in dodge ball if you catch a ball then you can immediately throw it back, as the other person is frozen in that space. If hit then he is out of the game and left to sulk on the sides.I wonder if politics evolved from dodge ball or dodge ball originated from politics. An eternal question that will haunt the shadows of many great thinkers.
Life like dodge ball can throw some amazing curve balls that ricochet off the roof and hit the least expected person. The idea that Crowe lost his seat in Dublin has shocked and amazed many as Sinn Fein have actually lost seats, McDonald the near certainty Queen of the Dail didn't even get in. A huge surprise that voters plumped for fianna fail and their promises of cars with jacuzzis in them. Anything is possible with a good economy. I know pimp my ride and Fianna Fail should get together and work on this. A new strategy for Bertie to show his wondrous youth appeal. He's with it, as long as it's in the script.
Dodge ball also involves a referee and usually the referee can decide the outcome of the whole game with decisions of which side to support with marginal hits and tumbles. Labour have provided this and there isn't anything more hated by me than a fence sitter, they haven't openly denied a deal with fianna fail and have struck a pact with fine gael. A curious incident of the Labour in stagnation. A whole wing of them like Quinn and Howlin actually promote the idea. What they don't realise in these fiefdoms is that a vote for labour is a vote for an alternative government before this flirting. Now they would have to organize a spectacular V-turn and promote it among alternative government supporters.
You may ask who I support but it really doesn't matter, because I'm not even 18 but by Chuck Norris as my witness I will examine all the evidence and the smudge under the cover.

Use for monkeys?
Dear Loyal follower,
I'm making this post in a letter format because without experiments we wouldn't need monkeys. Heard a really good philosophical quote the other day, 'put so many monkeys on typewriters and eventually someone will come up with a masterpiece'. I wonder how many monkeys are on blogger? better look that up later. Sure I remember playing a really overcomplicated chess game on the computer. The lowest form of competition was a monkey. I wonder what that says about monkeys? But really what uses do monkeys have or even the evil first pop manufactured boy band the monkees? They've caused shame and grief all over the world and spawned such awfuls like westlife, hearsay etc. Ah remember hearsay, the first batch out of the program before pop idol. A couple of monkeys singing would be a better idea. Sure they're only gonna be lip syncing anyway and if you can teach hearsay then what the monkeys are shoe-ins. I wonder how hearsay would do in the chess game.
Well if we didn't have experiments and we proved evolution then what use what they have? A squawk at the zoo and a good front for WWF. No, not the wrestling thing but the wildlife thing. It gives me wonder that their conspiracy behind the wrestling never came up. Sure it's pretty much monkeys in spandex anyway, sure they'd be cheering on the publicity. Yeh monkey hit that other monkey while i drink beer and eye up that girl. Yeah oh yeah. wait there's monkeys fighting? Assorted rambling.........etc,etc.
Now I'm all up for non-extinction but really do we need to put them in cages and jeer them? Frankly I'm gonna suck up to them. I saw a future documentary about monkeys taking over the planet with the help of future monkees and putting us in cages and jeering us. It scared me so much I went out and bought a monkey protecter, I really don't really know what it is but it'll help. I'm with fallout boy on this one, power to the monkeys. See video if confused. Class song aswell.
Sugar and spice make life nice,
