Over my 18 years of life on this very green planet, I’ve wanted to yell and scream at things until I’ve turned blue. But alas no one cares about the ranting of a 7 year old child. However, since I am a student, I’m in the top 5% of the population I think its time that my voice shall be heard.
Why now you ask? Well I’m fed up of many things, and the world is at such a state and time that almost anyone’s views and opinions can be heard. I’m referring to YouTube, Live Journals, MySpace and the like. On these sites you get some much crap on there. It makes me want to curl up into a ball and wonder where everything went wrong. However, I’m stronger than that and I also don’t care what people think about me so therefore, I’m going to rant on and on.
Sometimes these rants shall be about big things, (like government) or about little things (like the corner shop). It doesn’t matter. I’m going to rant about it all I like. But, I’m neither going to be racist or sexist. I don’t believe in that kind of thing. It’s not right everyone is equal and that’s the way it should stay.
So I shall begin with a few rants to start off. Firstly about a local chip shop I recently went to. I came in carry very full and heavy bags of food, which I had brought from Tesco’s. (Being a student is hard work.) I put my bags down under a table I see and would like to sit at. I buy my rather expensive chips (I wasn’t in the mood nor did I have the energy to find some place cheaper). Sat down at my table that my bags where under. Apply vinegar to my chips and was about to eat until some lady walked up to me and said, “you can’t eat here Hun, its not part of this.” And walked off. I sat there in silence. Not knowing what to do. So not wanting to cause any bother I grabbed up all my bags into one hand. (By this time both my hands where red raw and the bags where rather heavy.) Took my tray of chips away and my drink and walked across the road not 30 meters away and sat on a wall. So what I don’t get is that it’s a chip shop with nice seats in it, but you’re not allowed to sit down and eat? What’s the deal? She could plainly see that my hands where red, that I was tired and that my bags where heavy. But no she makes me get up! Am I missing something? Is there a secret cafe that I’m not fully aware of? Is it that there are in fact 2 cafes in one building? I wouldn’t know that from the outside of the building! Just looked like a normal chip shop to me. Normal everyday people in there. So why can’t I sit and eat a plate of chips I brought? There was only 2 other people sitting down as well! It’s not like I was imposing or anything. Or is it the stereotype that I’m a teenage student? That where ever I am, I bring total and absolute doom to them. If there are two cafes in there and I didn’t realise, then again that doesn’t make a difference does it? They are going to get my money either way aren’t they? Unless they are independent from each other. Which I highly doubt. So I still don’t see a problem.
So anyway, after finishing my chips so small kid is playing in the plant pots. I was sitting nicely on the steps below and he starts throwing dirt at me. I know its just kids having fun, but it’s just when it then starts to bother other people its time for the parents to step in. However, his parents seemed to be more interested in smoking and talking about drugs and all this that and the other. So no one was looking after this kid. So after the second handful of dirt that was thrown at my head, I turn round and say “NO!” in my meanest way. I don’t shout at the kid, I just look at him and tell him no in a calm but sort of nasty way. So he looks at me, I look at him. I get up and walk off. Then that was the end of that.
