Speaking of freebies, I saw the All American Rejects for free yesterday. It was a really short set, they only did 5 songs but I suppose I cant ask for an unreasonable amount for a free show. The crowd was horrible though. Pre-teens & teenagers who claim to be groupies but hardly knew any of their stuff. People who had nothing better to do at night and just came in for the sake of it. Lucky Damian won his new Nokia phone for 58cents. I'm sure it was entirely my influence. Haha.
I read the papers this morning and from the front to back & the back to front- it's just all gloomy economic news. As if we don't know that already. The effect of all these displeasing newspaper literature is getting slapped in the face by my realisation- that this strangely endless need for consumption was originally the force driving the growth of our economies. Yet, unfortunately for all of us, it is also partly because of this greed for material consumption that our market economies collapsed when people/companies/banks took on too much risk and the bubble ultimately burst. Now, politicians are calling for greater domestic expenditure to salvage the economy. So this consumption behaviour is like a never-ending process which is the key to economic prosperity? Somehow, I find it highly disturbing - isn't there a limit to how much people can consume? It seems like the advancement of the homosapiens depend on how stuffed your wardrobe is, how many luxury cars you have in your garage, how many designer furniture you have in your house(s)... Not that it's a sin, at least not all the time. I appreciate material comforts too, but it is just that simple? Does that mean that we can just buy our way back back to financial health if we all had the $$$? Let's wait and see.
I happened to watch the 2nd half of this film when I switched the TV on at 1am last night. I was flipping channels between MTV and StarMovies, guess who won? Lovely story (about dear Ms Beatrix Potter, author of the Peter Rabbit children's storybooks) which will probably bring hope to people devastated with grief. I really adored the scenery though. The cinematography of Lake district was gorgeous. I want to go back! I could recognise the dry stone walls, the green and red valleys, the lakes, the farms, the sheep and everything.
