Sid Vicious

very bored waiting for my friends to get back to college, due to Alabama’s long breaks. I decided to see if I could finish mad men. It turns out I definitely could, and I did. I watched the next two seasons of the show ("Love Among the Ruins" to “Tomorrowland”), before I realized what I was doing and that I needed to pace myself, like a junkie or crack addict. But that modicum of self-discipline was not to last, as I then watched another season ("A Little Kiss" to “The Phantom”) in a day before I realized that I was losing it. At that point, I was toast, and watched the sixth season ("The Doorway"to "In Care of") and season 7A ("Time Zones" to "Waterloo"), at which point it was four in the morning and I felt like I had just partied with Sid Vicious. I called it a night. The next morning, I got up, made popcorn for breakfast, and went downstairs to finish the journey on my parent’s big TV ("Severance" to “Person to Person”). And I did. And at the end, I felt like I had just been emotionally pummeled. The finale was the worst that I had ever watched, and I watch a lot of TV. It was worse than Lost, somehow. And it was definitely worse than How I Met Your Mother. It was like going to a three star restaurant and ordering a Hot Pocket. Or buying a Ferrari and having it be pulled behind a horse. The reason that thought it was so terrible wasn't because of the writing, it wasn't because of the acting, or anything you could possibly quantify. It was due to the fact that when I was…

Pistols, the symbol of UK’s punk scene. Johnny Rotten, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock, all these three famous characters were friends of Malcolm and used to hang out at his shop until he decided to make them the Sex Pistols, which had a remarkable success considering that the first idea of Sex Pistols was to promote McLaren’s punk fashion shop – the Sex. With the symbolic Sid Vicious (John Simon Richie) who joined the band later, Sex Pistols were one of the bands that managed to spread the spirit…

Wondering how the first colonists felt, when they first arrived to the new world, Emily Amend and I started to play a game called Civilization IV. Civilization IV is a game that allows its players to create settlements, occupations, and alliances with others that would allow the citizens within the settlements to survive. Civilization IV, also, allows its players to feel like they were actually just coming over to America because the players had to make decisions that the first colonists had to…

initial and accepted meaning of this art piece is to illustrate how people deal with major issues. Then there is the art piece of the man, Sid Vicious, with the red arrow in the corner. This piece originally does not have a meaning because Jef Aerosol usually draws real life regular people with a red arrow. When Sweeping It Under the Carpet and Sid Vicious are both portrayed on the same wall, the meaning is Banksy is a better artist than Jef Aerosol. Instead of painting over Jef Aerosol’s Sid…

Number Fifteen: They Only Released One Album. Despite the Sex Pistols being so revered, they only released one album before they broke up.

and Glen Matlock the original bassist, were all either employees or regulars at McLarens store(“No Future”). “They were four strays, misfits, punks, with only a rudimentary understanding of music, thrown together by fortuitous accident, under the guidance of a clothing salesman(“No Future”). Matlock was later replaced by Sid Vicious. By the end of their last tour the band was falling apart, Rotten and McLaren could not get along and tensions arose between band members. In January of 1978 Johnny…

In The Rocking-Horse Winner by D.H. Lawrence the third essential message that can be extracted from this short story is that there is a connection between wealth and luck.
