The other day I went to National bookstore to purchase some new shit to read. After roaming the bookshelves and stacking about 10 books in my hands I went to pay for them. 3 things happened.
one. I noticed how small the collection of books actually was. Not even half the store contained books. And the selection isn't actually anything to brag about.
50% bible stuff. 30% selfhelp books. 20% the rest.I choose from the rest.
two. I already knew this, but I'm gonna write about it.In the Philippines there are 3 (or more) people by the counter to service you. One to beep the items and recieve your money, one to bag your purchase and one to check if the receipt is correct with the contents of the bag. IF there is one extra one, it's usually one to supervise the whole process. So BASICALLY.. what usually takes 5 minutes or less in Norway takes 5-10 (sometimes even more) over here.
three. while waiting forever because of what I described above. I noticed a book. Chuck Palahniuk - "Snuff"
If you don't know what "snuff" is than make sure that if you READ (NOT LOOK) up about it when you are alone and over 18. ENOUGH SAID.
Back to my train of thought. Oh yeh.
A while back Agz and I (+ some others) watched a movie called "8 mm". A movie about snuff. Bla bla bla.. Last night while I was skyping with a friend, I showed him the book. He wondered what snuff was. So to get a better and proper definition about it.. I googled and ended up on wikipedia. WHICH what I won't write here.
One click lead to another and ended up spending several hours on wiki (as usual) WHILE.. still being on skype with my friend. So curious and so many links to check out!
It started off with snuff and these are some of the things I now know:
Guns'N'Roses and Marilyn Manson covered songs that was written and originally sung by Charles Manson.
Charles Mason knew Dennis Wilson from The Beach Boys (by chance, because he picked up to hitchhikers who was actually a part of the Manson Family).
Bestiality is the term for sexual acts between humans and animals
That was it. Now it is out of my system.
Bu-bye.
