girl in park haiku

she smiles i freeze
cold turns warm with blushing cheeks
the dog stops barking

Keg Morning Haiku

the sun does not rise
barely kisses horizon
wake in winters wake

Life as Such, and Such is Life

So I've been a wee bit quiet recently, as some of you know it;s due to a lot of things, not least of which is being homeless. But mainly because I have been absorbing brutal body shots from life in general. So here is the official ranting man guide to life and your own self-esteem.

What ever you put out, you get back. You're a dick all your life, you get a lot of dicks in your life. You hate all your life you get hate back. You keep smiling and doing what you can for others, guess what? You get smiles and people who will do whatever they can for you. It may not seem like it at times, it may seem the dicks and A-hole's are the ones who come up trumps, but in the end, it all levels out and you end up getting the treatment and life you deserve and put out there.

So now, excuse me, but i'm off to have lunch with 2 beautiful girls, sort out what will hopefully be my new amazing home with 2 rad housemates, enjoy a fine evening with a pretty girl and then live it up seeing Sydneys finest MC on my friday night off, which I have been able to do because of my lovely co-workers taking a shift for me at the last minute.

Blessed.

Ady Gil, the Japanese, and the shameful state of our federal parliment

So the Ady Gil has been chopped in half by Japanese Whalers, not content with killing whales they need to kill humans now as well. The Japanese ran her thorough and then left the crew to sink with their ship, ignoring distress calls and pleas for help. What has the world come to when eating a whale has become more important the 6 peoples lives? The Japanese deserve every cent that being chased by the Sea Shepard costs them, I can only hope that this drives prices up enough that only the real upper class scum of japan can afford to eat the poor bastards and this reduces demand.

What is more shameful to me however is the governments complete lack of response. Another country has destroyed near on $2 million worth of an Australian organisations property. Imagine the consequences if say Cuba did that to the US, or Israel to Lebanon? We pride ourselves on being upfront, honest and not afraid to stand up for those who need it as a race, yet we elect these weak, spineless mother fuckers who don't even stand for anything, let alone stand up for anything. This is also the case with that weak little pussy Kevin rudd refusing to even hear anythig to do with Peter Spencer, the farmer who has ben on hunger strike for approx 45 days, and what outrageous claims does Mr Spencer want? Only the chance to meet with Kevin Rudd and discuss possible alternatives that will allow farming to remain viable source of income. The Only people who have the balls to say or do anything are frowned upon and criticised for being "radicals". Barnaby Joyce - The Hats off, standing up for people even when they aren't anywhere his electorate. He went and met with Peter Spencer, and has done his best when he had no reason too. And Bob Brown - He has made a stand and sent a bill for the Ady Joyce to the Japanese Government as the Sea Shepard can't claim insurance as it is considered an "Act of War" by thir insurance company.

When we come to election time, it's time to forget the bullshit party allegiances, forget the supporting labour because your working class, or liberal because your concerned about the budget deficit, or voting national because you live in the country. Vote for someone who you want to represent you, who you know will stand up and yell, who will be called a radical, and who will stand up for all of us. Enough of these weak pussy mother fuckers, you want change fucking demand it, and don't stop till you get it. Peter Spencer, sue for back taxes, you have not been represented and as was stated before the Boston tea party "Taxation without Representation is Tyranny"

It's time we had Politicians who cared about people, not just caring about not annoying their partyrooms.

Discrimination

So, I've noticed that discrimination is alive and kicking in all area's, even the places I thought were a safe haven, such as the inner west of Sydney, and particularly where I live, Newtown. I know it may be hard to believe that in an area with the cultural diversity, youthful population and higher then average levels of education that Newtown has, but I have seen it, heard it and even experienced it. I am a middle class white heterosexual male, how can I experience any form of discrimination?

Well, let me tell you. Most people I meet who are sexist are female. Most people I know who think I care whether they screw girls or boys are gay, and most people I hear going off about a certain race or creed are talking non-sense about caucasians. I am certain this is reversed in other area's of Sydney, probably in area's with a lower socio-econimic status than Newtown. But that doesn't mean it is ok, it's still sexism, racism, and homophobia. This can't be excused, can't be accepted and we have to all ensure it doesn't become ingrained in this supposedly accepting community.

Until everyone, from the builders on sites, to the lesbians at bars, from the politicians on the hill, to the homeless on the street. From the girls in pretty frocks and high heels to the boys in pretty frocks and high heels, from the skinny leg black jean wearing cool kids, to the baggy tracksuit wearing, never seen a track lads. Until we all realise that we are not any better than any body on this earth, that everyone we see is somebody's little boy, or baby sister, or loving mother, or dependable father, we will live in a intolerant society. Every single person is amazing, the fact that their particular sperm managed to beat 24,999,999 other sperm to a miniscule egg, which then somehow managed to survive 9 months in a body to be born and survive is enough to make that person amazing. Judge people on their actions after that, and judge them harshly, that is the way to make this planet a more peaceful and more enjoyable place to be. The fact I have a penis, white skin, prefer the intimate company of females to males, and have enough money to eat and live in my modest surroundings is of no more consequece to you than what shirt I wear. We all know better.

Unemployed Rage

So, after four and a half years, I have made the move and left my dead end job, no offence to my previous boss, and am currently enjoying my second day of unemployment in approx 6 years. Chillin with a beer, listening to some aussie hiphop (Coptic Soldier for those playing at home). Pretty calming and soothing, exspecially knowing I have enough money to survive modestly for a while, and knowing I have a heap of books to read, movies to watch and things to learn before my life becomes more stressful again, probably around the beginning of 2010. I can already feel myself becoming more complacent and taking things in my stride without blowing up... And I hate that.

I think I need things to get fired up by, I need enemies, people I hate but am forced to relate with on a daily basis. I like to be happy as much as the next person, but niceness is not motivating. Don't get me wrong, I still deal with people I would rather feed to a swarm of zombie mice than have a 5 minute conversation with, but they are much fewer and far between. So I have to motivate myself, and that is a much harder prospect.

I am now trying to work on aims, and goals, and how to get myself to them, without the pleasure of knowing that I am doing things just to spite people. I told quite a few people my goal for the next few years, and to my utter dismay, no one I disliked told me I couldn't do it, no one said I'd never be good enough for that, they all just wished me luck and shook my hand like an impotent fish.

So now, the crux of my rant, I am going to have to motivate myself. I've never really had to do this. I know that if I go hungry now, or if I can't pay the rent, or if I'm too stupid to take my life down the path I've decided on, that I can only blame myself. No one else can help me and no one else can be held accountable for what I can or can not achieve in the future. I am only responsible for myself, and I'm the only person responsible for myself. I have no where the shift blame, nobody who has stood in my way, no one has said a bad word about what I'm aiming for. And that is pretty motivating, I'll let you know how it goes

A complete inability to function as a human being

I deal with a lot of people in everyday life, who have some difficulties in being classed as human beings, in my eyes. Some can't behave in a socially acceptable way (and I live in newtown, where almost anything is socially acceptable), some are just generally what I term "dicks". But every now and again you come accross one who's different.

I have spent some time recently trying to discover what to call people who are a combination of all the aspects I hate. You know who I mean, they are narcisistic, self serving, hypocritical, rude, arrogant, vacumns of everything it means to me to be human. And you would be surprised, there are a lot of them, they may be able to hide in from the general public for 5 minutes, or even an hour if they are trying particularly hard, but in the end, when you have enough exposure, they come out and you realise there is not a single thought going on except for "how will ... effect my life" or "how can ... be better for me?"

Well, I can not find a single word to describe these people or how I despise them. And this angers me, because, there are so many that they need a label. We can create a name for a syndrome that affects 2 humans in 7 billion (yes, the worlds population has reached 7 billion, and yes, you can expect to hear about that soon) but this problem, which effects every one of us, has no term. I can't even describe it except as a complete inability to function as a human being. Maybe we could call it ACITFAHB?

These people are dooming us all, they leave lights and TVs on when not around burning fossil fuels, they are lazy and make it harder to get anywhere due to more traffic and even the footpaths are slow because you know they don't walk anywhere, they dawdle, and dilly dally their days away looking at themselves in shop windows. They have no manners, no respect and moan like cheap hookers if you show them no respect back. There has to be a name for them. Please help me, send your suggestions to me, I need to get this resolved so I can put my mind to rest, and start to contemplate my next dilemma, like my complete lack of career path, or inability to hold money. Please, tell me what we can call these people!

Actually, scrap that, i just thought of the correct term...
