Dont forget to breathe, James!

Went down and spent 2 days hanging with Bec, cos on saturday night she had a crappy night at work, I mean it really sucked.

So cos I'm so pussy whipped, I drove down there in the new car(!) and picked her up and we chilled out. On sunday morning, we sat on the beach on the bay and had a nice little chat about stuff.

It was great. Bec is motivated. I'm not.

or at least, she has self control,and I dont. I should have left at about 3pm, and I didn't leave till well after 5, even tho BEc kept telling me that I should go. hahaha, not to get rid of me, cos she didn't try very hard, but she's always reminding me that I will be late to places if I dont leave soon.

Like the other wednesday. I was lying on the couch, and I just couldn't find the energy and motivation to get up.

The last 2 days I've been wroking at edward eager.

which I want to rename Ědvärđ Ëëgr Lödij. Why, you ask? cos it sounds more exotic and skandenavian.

anyway. I've been starting at 8am, and it takes me about 1 1/2 hours to get in there..

. what a drag. hung out with bec after work last night, that was cool, and again today.

yeah. it rules.



And this sounds excellent.

I've met people who are almost too scared to use computers at work in case they get fired, and some bossess use keystroke monitors to ensure taht people are typing fast enough. THAT needs to be outlawed, and if anyone is caught using that kinda spyware, they should be stripped naked and tied up in martin place. Politics - you say you want a revolution.

...

Voted today. The local councill elections are SO quiet around here I forgot to research them.

There were only 4 choices tho, and so I trusted dad's recommendation. The sydney elections will be interesting, cos the state govt disolved the sydney and south sydney councill and amalgamanted the 2 councils. People dont like that.

and because the state govt is labour, the labour candidates in the council elections will probly suffer cos peeople dont trust labours motives. Clover moore looks good(in terms of her chances) but she gets painted as a total yuppie ratbag, and people are questioning why she wont retire from her parliament seat if she wins. and the if the libs get in.

...

ugh!

There was some interesting graffitti in the city today (because I went in to see Bec! YAY!

!!!

BEC IS SO COOL!) The person(s) were right wing racists, but it wasn't the usual crap. they were calling for a class war.

not something I associate with nazis. They were saying that the homeless should rise up against the police and chubb security guards and other people who attack the homeless. standard anarchist stuff.

then they had a go at CHUBB security guards cos they were all "born overseas".

Apart from the violent intentions of the message, I think it had a few problems. Tom Morello from Rage against the machine had this written on his gituar

It says "arm the homeless"

I cant say I agree.

not that I want to repress people, cos i just LOVE that, but I think of giving some people I know a gun or a knife. Someone with a mental illness with a gun could be scary indeed.

And the criticism of chubb was unfair!

whi gives a flying froghole where the guards were born, dio the person think that they come over here JUST to join security teams and harass the helpless?? Companies like chubb get orders to move people on from the top, and who directs the top?

it isn't a racial group, it's corporate interest. I just find racism so dumb on so many levels. its a gut reaction to a bigger problem.

It isn't tonga thats the problem, it's people wanting the city to be a pretty place, with no smelly ugly people to upset the shoppers



Essential reading from the recommendation of Rage against the machine

I like this one...

"The Riot Be The Rhyme Of The Unheard"
It was a possible name and cover for the 2nd last album battle of los angeles Im talking to bec right now!

bec wrote me a nice letter today, and I told her that I would tape it to the door of my room.

She promised that if i did, she kick me where it hurts. I can only assume that she means the face. such a caring relationship!

he he he...

.

I wish i had time to trawl the web and put funny stuff on blog. its pretty dry at the moment.

I went to roughies and joined the creative writing course. me bec hung out as well, just for something new. so far.

..

I've done things today. organised a list of PPL for the birthday dinner. I found out that if I hang up socialist alliance electoral posters anywhere on public property, Pittwater Councill will take them down and possibly fine the socialist allianace.

hmmm...

I need to talk to John or someone about this. I'm trying to combine my dream blog with my normal blog, but stupid optus wont support any of the scripts required to do so. dam Going to war secured US alliance, says Downer - National - www.

smh.com.au

I reckon that this was the deciding factor for our involvement in the war, cos Dubya would have been decidedly cool with us if we had snubbed him.

WMD and freedom were just added bonuses in the eyes of hoWARd and co. what, with that all important free trade deal being finalised, we couldn't upset the white house could we? no.

.. I was explaining to Bec some of the ins and outs of the AUSFTA.

Apparently our intellectual property laws will become more like the USA system, so ARIA will be able to sue people for downloading sharing music. Stuff like multi region DVD players will become illegal cos they hurt profits (explain that one. the bastards.

..) Protectionist policies for australian music and television will go, so channel 10 wont even need to use sport to crank up the local content requirement, they can import baseball highlights.

hhahaha ha haa...

. Australian musicians will have a harder time being sucessfull, cos Triple M can play MORE NICKLEBACK AND CREED all thanks to Ice Cold Coca Cola! No need to waste time trying to make local artists sound cool and hip for the mindless radioheads, cos they want MORE NICKLEBACK AND CREED all thanks to Ice Cold Coca Cola!

Not genuine talent.

I'm feeling funny tonight about this. People think that its just something that communists, hippies and trouble makers go to protests about.

It's so real for everyone. This is not some far removed conspiracy, this is a massive new policy direction for australia, and no one cares. except the cane farmers

- Like eBay, only free!
