The Revenge of Winston Smith
Observations on the absurdity of everyday life interspersed with rambling rants against religion · big brother government policies · conservatism · right-wingers and obsessive capitalists · xenophobes, racists, sexists and bigots in general · tabloid journalism · the Daily Mail · self-professed moral guardians..... and much much more!

Happy birthday to me

I've been writing this - my first blog - for exactly a year, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to look back at my earlier posts.
I've written 46 posts (most crap, some actually quite interesting / amusing) and received 151 comments. At the time of writing I've had 7752 visits - not a huge amount, but still several a day. I've written less (and had fewer visits) since I moved my rants against religion elsewhere (here) but I am going to keep this blog going - after all there are plenty of other things that piss me off:
Big brother government policies.
Conservatism and obsessive traditionalists.
Right-wingers, obsessive capitalists and people who love money more than anything else.
Xenophobes (and obsessively patriotic people).
Racists, sexists and bigots in general.
Tabloid journalism.
Daily Mail readers.
Self-professed moral guardians.
"Trendies".
Dense people (perhaps this is my only real prejudice?)
I'm going to try to be (a little) more personal and less abstract in my writings. So, a bit about me (according to some quizzes at Quizfarm.com) -
Some other results without the details -
My mental illness is obsessive compulsive disorder (I knew that anyway).
My sexual style is "Kinky. You are very open to new experiences and opportunities."
(I knew that too).

| What Political Party Do Your Beliefs Put You In? | |
| Anarchism | 100% |
| Democrat | 83% |
| Green | 67% |
| Socialist | 67% |
| Communism | 58% |
| Fascism | 8% |
| Nazi | 0% |
| Republican | 0% |
| Am I being picky, or would having the total adding up to 100% have made more sense? (8% fascism ?!?) BTW, It's been a long time since I put a table in a website. Seems odd. | |
| What is Your World View? | |
| Existentialist | 94% |
| Modernist | 88% |
| Materialist | 69% |
| Postmodernist | 63% |
| Cultural Creative | 50% |
| Romanticist | 25% |
| Fundamentalist | 6% |
| Idealist | 6% |
| You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility. | |
| What philosophy do you follow? | |
| Hedonism | 80% |
| Utilitarianism | 70% |
| Existentialism | 60% |
| Justice (Fairness) | 40% |
| Kantianism | 40% |
| Strong Egoism | 35% |
| Nihilism | 30% |
| Apathy | 20% |
| Divine Command | 0% |
| You scored as Hedonism. Your life is guided by the principles of Hedonism: You believe that pleasure is a great, or the greatest, good; and you try to enjoy life’s pleasures as much as you can. "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die!" | |
