Russian affairs; no affairs more hardcore.

'This play is dedicated to the memory of the anti-government journalist Georgi Gongadze, whose headless body was found in the year 2000 in the Ukraine.'

Yipes. That is one hell of a quote.

For those of you interested, that is the dedication for The UN Inspector, a play assuming Russia gives a toss what the UN thinks. And since sometimes blogs can be quite intellectual, I figured maybe I should add in some interesting current affairs. And there are no current affairs scarier than Russian current affairs.

Basically, Third President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev has sacked the mayor of Moscow with the backing of President Putin. This may sound relatively small to the culture we're used to; this is similar to Nick Clegg sacking Boris Johnson with the backing of David Cameron. A surprise, and something of a let down since Boris Johnson is just a brilliant man, but no biggie.

Not in Russia, however. In Russia, they reckon that since this Mayor has many powerful connections and is a leader of many people, Russia may become enveloped in Civil War. Putin pretty much leads the army and right now is not to be messed with even with his own soldiers. And the Mayor's connections make him about equally matched.

And the crazy thing is, when we think of Terrorist, screwed up Russia, we think of Stalin's murdering of several million of his own men. At the very least we think of 10 years ago back to that Journalist. But being honest, we live in a pretty scary world and I think we're lucky that even within that world we live in Britain. It was only 2000 when that guy was shot and had his body burned to the point where his mother couldn't identify him. And it was 2008 when that guy was killed with polonium, poisoned in a café of all places!

We live in a pretty terrifying world. And I figured this might be an interesting update on affairs that clings rebelliously to one's mind.

Hello all,

Well, seeing the variety of forms in which express themselves via the internet reminded my of my blog! This used to be a place I would post all sorts of ridiculous thoughts and ideas from the lower echelons of society & intelligence to my feelings only a few weeks in with my brilliant Helen. I felt compelled to follow the herd as it tumblrs (get it?) past with a varying complexity and strangeness of people's thoughts and feelings. And perhaps some cool, deep, broodable black and white photos. A picture is a thousand words, so you could say these Tumblr accounts have been used liberally.

Well, I've rambled for a substantial amount of time. But had I anything interesting to say, I would be hosting some kind of Seminar, or posting it somewhere where the whole world might be in awe. But this is an old blog with the dust blown off and I doubt very much that people will read it.

Eitherway, I am very lucky to be able to write like this; I believe the word is, eloquent. I love being able to be in higher sets of school, get grades I'm happy with or when I'm not know how I need to achieve and push further. But mainly, I'm glad I have so many good friends, good people around me that I can talk to in such a similar way. Take Jamie and Alex, par example. They are wonderful friends, and being honest, since a recent chat Jamie is a man much more decent than I thought him to be. And Jamie is very bright, educating, and a great person to be around. Sometimes I'd like to think I am educating to him, about reasoning for things and about, to some degree, rationalisation of what goes on around us.

And Alex, who I can never falter to talk to about Herbert from Family Guy, but likewise has a brilliantly intellectual mind and I feel like these are people I can talk to about anything I would ever choose. These people are brilliant people, and most of all, these people are my friends, who I will admire and respect for I hope, the rest of my life.

And then there is Helen, and there is never a day goes by that I don't see how lucky I am to be with her. This may sound like a lot of crap to you, but Helen is something incredible in my life that I will always try so hard never to lose. There is something very special about being with someone like that, someone who you can hold close and love and cherish and everything that goes with it. There is something very special about having someone like Helen.

So, Sit-Rep. I love my friends. And I love Helen.

Thanks for readin',

Joshy
