Elaine Jinx Gets Banned On Instagram Again
So they really don’t like it when people tell the truth? Once again, my Instagram account has been suspended on the basis of being offensive. Apparently you can’t have an opinion anymore. All I said was Mi Chang-Hoon is a cunt, which he is. There he goes crying on Instagram saying that I hurt his feelings and caused him great humiliation. Well he should have thought of that before cheating on his wife.

The Ramblings of Elaine Jinx
Do these people not understand that the more they try to silence me, the louder I become? The Police keep coming to my door, but they don‘t even know why anymore. Twitter have finally accepted that they banned my account in error, and I’m back on. Just in time for the finale of Game of Mass Destruction. Those monkeys were brilliant for ripping Sia’s wig off her.

Skunk Anansie @ The 02 Arena in Oxford
We all have our opinion on reality TV shows, but without them, I would not have found out about this awesome band. I still don't understand why I have only just found out about them during the first lockdown. I love a lot of bands that had either debuted in the 90s or made their best albums from that decade. A part of me wished I found out about them earlier. Skin is a true pioneer both as a solo artist and as the frontwoman in her band.

Mighty Hoopla 2022
The first weekend of June marked a special occasion. Many flocked to London to celebrate the Queen’s platinum jubilee. As for me, I went to London for a different reason. I guess Mighty Hoopla was my way of celebrating the occasions even though I was stanning different kinds of Queens.

Things I Would Do if I was in Charge of My Country
1) Eliminate homelessness Quick search on Google estimates that 2% of the world’s population are homeless. My gut instinct tells me it’s higher. It should be zero. Institutions need a revolution. There’s plenty of empty properties and rooms out there that need filling. There is no excuse for people to be sleeping out on the streets. Everyone would feel safer if they were gaurenteed a place to stay.

I Finally Read Rich Dad Poor Dad
Typing Rich Dad Poor Dad into Vocal's search engine brings a plethora of results. It's a book that caught my eye in the book shop and it's been a book I've wanted to read for years. So why has it taken me so long to read it? Well I had a long list of books I wanted to read. At the moment, I believe my list on Goodreads contains over 900 books. Once I slashed my to-be-read list down to the three-figures, it eventually popped up in my library's catalogue and I borrowed it for a while. I have since returned it, but it's a book that I believe will stay in me. When I got around to actually reading the book, I felt it had been a book I had already read before.
