So, following the DCU Hybrid (Media) awards, I decided to start a blog. The DCUfm radio show I produce, OverJive (check it out), jokingly said we were sickened not to have won anything, and that we were going to enter everything. But how does a radio show enter best blog? Fuck it, I'll just go for it myself. I don't want the News and Current Affairs award anyway....
What is this blog going to be about, I hear you ask? Well, the title gives a very subtle hint, something which should probably be explained. I'm sure you've heard the saying "Cheap and Cheerful", right? I sure have. And it's a load of shite. I've tried, dear sweet non-existant lord, I have tried. It just does not work. I tried having money and being happy, but no amount of money was worth spending another soul-killing second in that hell-hole. (I'm actually now seeking employment in Dublin, just so I can live there for the Summer).
However, following that failed attempt at a job, I have decided to stay cheap and cynical. I'm going to quote nyself here, not something I like to do. For the best part of a year and a half, a good friend of mine called me "passive-aggressive". Now, I haven't got the firmest grasp on the greasy pig that is the English language, I didn't know what this "passive-aggressive" craic was. After eighteen months of just agreeing, it finally started annoying me, so I decided to see what it was. Next time he called me passive-aggressive, I had a reply ready. It just so happened we were enjoying a few alcoholic beverages at the time, which made this all the more funny...
"Shut the fuck up, you fancy talking prick, I'm just an arsehole".
After this realisation, I have settled on the fact that I am an absolute bastard when I want to be. I can be nice, but when I have a bad day, and I have a lot of bad days, I can be an absolute wanker. I know this, and I don't really care.
I would apologize for such a high level of profanity, but why bother? A load of people curse and swear everywhere. How is one person refraining from doing so going to help? And personally, I think babies as young as four or five swearing is hilarious. They're just words anyway.
Cheap and cheerful?
Fuck that, I'm an arsehole. :)
