It's been a while.

And to be honest, I'd completely forgotten about this thing. I'd like to say it's because i've been busy... but that would be a bit of a lie.

I've pretty much just been floating about since I've been back in Scumderland, trying to do things that make me feel like I'm being productive, and a lot of the time it works... until I stop, at which point I reflect on the day and come to the conclusion that I've done nothing with my day. I'm just an 'orrible Procrastinator.

I know I shouldn't moan, but the fact that I'm in uni for 10 hours a week doesn't help much either... It leaves me with a lot of free time do procrastinate... and I don't like it. Saying that, I probably like it more than being in Uni everyday for 6 hours.

The other day, I went down the Uni Bar to watch Sunderland vs. Liverpool, in which we where beaten by a Beach Ball... Oh well... such is life.

I would have got over the result quickly enough. But what I couldn't get over, was the Sunderland fans who where there too. Horrible little creatures.

At half time I went to get a pint, and whilst I was waiting, I heard one fat old man say to another fat old man: "Look at him" (I was wearing Liverpool shirt) "They should all be killed and thrown onto train tracks, like that Jamie Bulger kid."

Now, I'm all for a bit of inter fan banter, because obviously it's all part of the package of going to watch a match, whether it's on TV or actually at the ground.

But this was far from Banter. It was total disregard for human life... I wanted to throw up on him.

After that, one Mackem came over and pointed out that his mates across the room had been "Banned from the ground because of violence." so we should "Watch ourselves"

At that point I was ridiculously angry. There was absolutely no reason to say something like that. We'd done nothing except watched the match, and talked amongst ourselves.

It's not even as though they lost! They had no reason to want to try and knock some heads.

I'm not going to claim I'm rough as toast and hard as nails... but if they had have tried, I definitely wasn't going to stand by and let them.

At the end of the day, I just tell myself that they're bitter because they live in a rubbish city with no redeeming features to speak of, which is constantly and deservedly over shadowed by Newcastle: a genuinely nice place.

Anyway, there's my rant done and dusted. I'm off to listen to Muse's AWESOME new album, and to get this piece of bacon out from between my teeth.
