The Shark

Hi peeps,

So with all this rucus in the middle east threatening to turn into world war 3 it brings me back to age old subject of war and the pointlesness of it all.

The way I see things as they stand right now is that all this war is fuelled by a bucnh of tesstosterone fuelled boys with big guns that really kill people. Next time you pick up an argos catalouge or go into a toy shop do the following. If your buying a toy for a boy what options do you have, well let me tell you, about 80% of all boys toys are war or destruction related. Toy guns, toy tanks, toy soldiers etc etc. Then we look at the kids TV, we have power Rangers, Transformers, Dr Who and a whole host of others that almost justify violence against an (in most cases) unknown or misunderstood enemy. Then we get on to films, on screen violence is just averywhere. There is a new film out with a kid as james bond. Violence although not graphic is still there. This is one of life's mysteries for me, sex and nudity is frowned upon to the extreme but being violent to another human being is considered the norm. Why is that, are we all secretly prudish beyond measure? do we all want to blow our neighbour away with shot gun or BFG (Big F*****g Gun to all you none gamers!). To me this makes no sense, it is somthing we are technically brought into the world for, to procreate. Is there somthing wrong with that? There obviously must be otherwise it would be more sociably acceptable, more so than voilence.

It seems to me that we are all being brought up as 'fresh meat for the grinder' and to go off and do our bit. Brought up to think that war is cool and fun and to think there are no consequences.

Now the question we must ask ourselves, if love was featured in films more than voilence would the world be a better place? If women were in charge of the military and polotics would the world be a safer and better place?

War doesn't decide who's RIGHT! It only decides who's LEFT!

Later people, its too hot and late to carry on anymore.

Marc.

PS Make Love not War!

Well, im back in the UK for a short while, I just hope the mill and estate doesn't all go to pot in my absence :-) But I am sure you all know how it is, I miss Karina too much and have decided to settle in or around durham. Its a lovely city and of course there is another bonus in the form of Karina. I am currently looking for a job for the long term, had my fun in Europe as it were, now its time to dig my heels in. Not that I wear heels you understand, well basically settle. Its been a difficult time for K and I over the past 9 months, more so for K as she has had a hard time at work, as for me its been awesome and an eye opener. I have decided my ability to learn another language is quite bad, that came after day two when I told a supermarket lady the 'I dont know why I loved her but I did!' that was more embarrassing than giving speach at a christmas party witha giant 'George £10' sticker on my new trousers. :-(

Puppies are all good, as are the donkeys, Jasime, Chino, cats and numerous other insects, fish and rodents that I have befriended! Although I have fallen out with perdy for leaving a gaint tick in my bed. Plus there was ralf the snake who thought it would be funny to hide in my sock draw! He's a viper by the way, yes they do bite!

Im still only a sargent in BF2 so a little disappointd with regards to my lack of promotion, but hey ho.

Working quite hard at every spare moment on a small invention at the moment, hopefully, if I pull it off, and it actually works it will change the face of automobiles forever. Fingers crossed. Although it might not!

Its been hot as anything in France when I left, was 37 and even touched 38, wont be long before we get 40. I found it impossible to actually do any work in that heat, I just stood complaining to myself about how hot it was, plus my ipod packed up if it got too hot, great! Never come this far south if you dont have aircon too, should be a law about that.

Anyway, must dash. Got some more job applications to fill in, plus must get Karina somthing. Was thinking of flowers..........

Later peeps

Marc

Well, what can I say except apologise for the verylong lapse in updates about my life.

The post few months have been eventful to say the least, Melanie seems to be doing really well at the moment. You can go and have a peak for yourselves here!

Most recently we have aquired some new puppies you can find a few short vids of them on my utube account amongst other things such as the short film I made and some other comedy things. Remember to leave some feedback, and be kind! :-)

Okay what else, well again I am leaving for the UK tomorrow and will be heading straight for Karina and spending my entire time with her until monday, its tuesday today by the way. Will be scoping the job scene in newcastle again, got a good feeling about this one so fingers crossed. Alot of you (maybe 4 of the 5 of you!) will be thinking why I want to go back to the UK, well thats a one word answer, KARINA. So thats that. Speaking of which I have got battlefield 2 and am not all that good at it to be honest, you can check out my stats. You may notice something about my name. Yep thats right its anirak, Karina backwards. FYI I have also managed to register www.anirak.co.uk which I am quite excited about. This is going to be my base for a few inventions I have lined up. Can't go into details as could get rogered by some big multinational on patents. So watch out :-)

Also decided to register www.marcboorman.com, so there will be my own site at some point but got to get a job to pay for the server yet so again keep an eye out.

Anyway, have uploaded some pics of the puppies and recent eventuallities to give you all a bit eyecandy. anyway must go as I have loads of stuff to do today and its too nice to be indoors on the computer.

Take care

Marc
