FUCK FUCK FUCK

I cannot possibly put into words how incredibly upset I am right now. I have missed out on not one, but two of my vintage alarm clock radios on ebay. One had ended right when I was about to place a bid, and the second one just ended before I could up my bid. So basically I was outbid by $1. I could throw every laptop I see and smash them all on the ground and then stomp on them, I'm so angry.

So, what lesson did I learn? DON'T LEAVE THE FUCKING HOUSE UNTIL THE AUCTION IS OVER! Because I've learned from experience that Ebay time is not the same as regular time; it tends to be faster. So when it said there was 35 mins left till it was over, I thought I had just enough time to get back to school and get over to the library to place a bid. But no. First I couldn't find anywhere to park (don't get me started) and then when I got to the library, the first laptop I jumped onto said the browser wasn't accepting cookies, so ebay couldn't sign me in.

GOD I AM SO FUCKING MAD RIGHT NOW THIS DAY HAS BEEN GOOD SO FAR BUT I CAN"T DEAL WITH THIS SHIT. I NEED THIS FUCKING ALARM CLOCK AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR OVER 5 YEARS FOR THE GODDAMN THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

I have.

I just found out after typing 'Simon Easton' into Google that the man who sold me two genuine, authentic Seditionaries shirts has, in fact, sold hundreds or more fake shirts to unsuspecting customers over the last 5 or 6 years, including such esteemed museums and auction houses Sotheby's, Christie's, and the V&A Museum.

He used to sell under eBay under the names 'Punk-Pistol', 'Punk-seditionaries', and another one which I am not recalling. His shirts and bondage trousers would sell for hundreds of pounds and US dollars. He did a lot of business in Japan, where the buyers would snatch up his goods.

However, I did notice that his various aliases on eBay would be terminated and he would reappear under a different name.

I will continue this post in a bit...

Youtube sucks

OK, this is my rant on YouTube. At first, it was a really cool website, with lots of neat videos to choose from. Then Google bought it and it's gone downhill fairly swiftly from there.

I spent over 2 hours creating a picture slideshow of my 1978 Porsche 911 sc coupe, set to AC/DC's "Back In Black", only to have it removed by YouTube due to a copyright infrigement complaint by WMG Media. Well those fucktards can fuck right off.

I also had another video I took of the Liverpool match against Fulham back in November of last year, when I went to Anfield. It was such a momentous event that I wanted to capture it for posterity, and add it to YouTube so others could enjoy it. But they removed that one too.

I've had it with YouTube. So many similar videos are up like mine, with plenty of other copyrights being infringed, and yet they choose mine to take down. If I had any reasonable grounds, I would sue the fuckers. But I don't, unfortunately.

What's becoming of YouTube? You can no longer find tv shows on there, as they have all been removed, and what's next? Are they gonna ban musicians doing covers of other people's songs? I'm sure that's a copyright infringement right there. And if that happens, then YouTube will well and truly suck and I will no longer wish to be associated with it. Even if it's not their fault.

Liverpool's back on top!

Exactly 2 months after they were top of the Premier League table, Liverpool has regained their title position once again.
