Could this be the most boring day of the year? I think it must be. To prove it I've devised a formula:
Bloated post-Christmas inertia + back at parents - self-motivation or money = listless ennui + dull pangs of existential angst
To cheer you up, check out DeathSpace (strapline="MySpace doesn't end at death") a pointless but morbidly intriguing online resource compiling a list of MySpace users who've passed on from this world. Their profile pages freeze-framed forever at a moment just before their untimely deaths, their unfortunate legacy is destined to be a series of trite epitaphs posted by friends. Here are some of my personal favourites:
"Dude, so sorry to hear about your accident. It really sucks. RIP"
"Hopefully you can access MySpace in heaven"
"I feel so privileged to make your final top 8"
"Tell me in a dream how God is. I always wanted to know"
"Six months and I still can't believe you're gone. Gutting"
"You look so hot in that pic. Such a waste"

I lasted three days at my parents before fleeing back to Salford grinding my teeth with frustration. It had been a bit of a nothing few days media wise until I found out the Iraqi government were about to make Saddam eligible for his very own MYDEATHSPACE page. I stayed up till 3:00am waiting for him to cark it and the minute I kill the lights, light the incense and put on the "sweetdreams" Portishead album can you guess what happens? I guess someone up there just doesn't like me very much.......................
I can't believe the BBC wussed out of showing the actual execution! That would have been a real watershed TV moment, the first snuff movie broadcast on national TV. I guess someone will post it on YouTube before too long.
BBC wussing out may have been the wiser choice considering the copycat suicides. So far, three kids have died. The link is as follows: http://www.boingboing.net/2007/01/04/saddam_hanging_video.html
