Well, today is grand final day. So naturally that means we’ll be getting extremely drunk while watching the footy. It’s the only day that this is acceptable … unless you’re an avid footy fan … and then you’re probably the feral sort who does this with the flimsiest of excuses; “Oh, it’s raining today” *turn on TV and sit down with a freshly opened stubby* “Oh, it’s sunny outside today” *turn TV on and sit down with a freshly opened stubby* “Oh, I’m meant to go report to Centre Link today” *turn on TV and sit down with a freshly opened stubby*
Aaaaand so on.
But on grand final day, no one can judge you for this behaviour. In fact, it’s actively encouraged (except by the cops, who have to deal with feral drunks later on in the evening). Although as long as you do it with mates. If you do this alone, you’re just sad.
Even sadder than the afore mentioned drunk bogan.
No one cares what teams are playing … although, we Victorians do get pretty upset if there isn’t at least one Victorian team playing. It doesn’t matter if you’re team is playing or not. It’s just a fantastic excuse to get drunk with mates.
But if you’re team is playing, well, congrats!
I hope they win … unless my team is also playing. Then, in which case, I will want my team to win and your team to go to hell.
So later on today, everyone will be decked out in red, black and white or black and white and everywhere will be deserted and reminiscent of a ghost town. Or at least that’s how it will be in Victoria … except perhaps in Geelong.
Soooooo, let the drinking begin!
Let’s getting ready for the first bounce!
Let’s hope the Saints are more than a match for the Pies!
And let’s hope that it’s a close game, since it’ll get boring if it’s a one sided match.

The Alternative to Centre Link
Well, now I’m super excited about a job.
This is rare. Since the sole reason why I want a job is so I no longer have to rely on fucking Centre Link. That is it.
I mean, if I could get paid and not work I’d be happy.
Well, I guess that’s how I am now. But I have to put up with Centre Link’s shit, and jump through hoops for my money.
I don’t want to jump through hoops for my money!
I’d rather work for my money!
Yeah, that’s right. I said it. I said that I’d rather work for my money instead of relying on Centre Link.
Shocking, ain’t it?
No. Not really actually.
Most of Australia would agree with me on this.
But the job that has got me all excited?
It’s with Westfield, and combines two of my biggest loves to create my dream job; a Westfield insider. That is basically someone who gets paid to go shopping at Westfield shops, and then write about it online. I think I have to inform the masses about some good deals I found and where I found them.
Too easy!
I just hope that I impress the Westfield people with my application.

Essay Writing
Well, I can safely say that playing Smash Bros is way more fun than essay writing. So much more fun.
Actually …
No I can’t.
I haven’t actually made a start on the essay.
It’s been so long since I actually wrote an essay, I’m not sure that I even know how to anymore.
The afore mentioned statement about Smash Bros being more fun was merely an assumption, based on remote, far gone memories … and the assumption that anything study related isn’t fun.
Not that that last assumption is much of an assumption. More a widely known fact.

Study
Well, here I am at 1:35pm Monday afternoon. I have an essay due in a couple of hours, and a talk to give tomorrow morning.
Now guess how much of that work I’ve actually done.
Come on. Guess.
Come on. Come on. Come on!
Yeah, that’s right. None
Absolutely nothing.
I clearly need to work on my work/study ethic, because at the moment it’s just non-existent. And I’m pretty certain that I can’t just cruise through uni and pass like this.
Oh. It’d be nice if I could. But I seriously doubt that it’s possible. I think the whole point of uni is to study and push yourself. And the lecturers and tutors certainly like to make sure that everyone has to actually work to be able to pass.
The bastards!
Man, now I curse those nice cruisey high school days where I didn’t have to put much (if any) effort into my work and receive good marks … I think it’s clear where I developed my fantastic work/study ethic.
Not that the essay is worrying me much. It’s only 1200 words, and I already have a plan that we did in the tute. So even if I hand it in late, it won’t be overly late (a day or two).
But this talk is really worrying me.
For one thing I hate giving talks.
Because I can give the same talk to the same group of people outside of class and be completely fine. But as soon as I get into the classroom with the knowledge that I’m going to be marked, and I just fall to pieces.
Yeah, not good at giving talks.
But it’s not just that.
Apart from the obvious fact that I’m so not prepared for tomorrow, I don’t really know what it is I’m supposed to be researching/giving the talk on. We weren’t too clear on details when we were figuring out the details last week.
So I’m seriously considering flaking tomorrow, and not turn up.
I know that’s extremely bad form considering it’s supposed to be group assignment, and that I’ll be letting down the other two in my group. But I really don’t see any other alternative … apart from actually doing the work. But that’s just crazy.

Immigration into Australia Must Stop!
I thought of a good reason to stop immigration into Australia!
And it’s a fantastic reason.
The rest of Australia will agree with me on this … at least white Australia will.
And my reason for stopping immigration to Australia is this; this foreign devils, especially the coloured foreigners, have way too much respect and consideration for the elderly and the infirm (including pregnant women, which Davis bus lines, at least, seems to consider a “condition”.
It’s one thing I’ve noticed, especially on public transport, that it’s only the ethnic people who will actually get up and give their seats to the elderly, pregnant women or the infirm.
THEY ARE MAKING THE REST OF US LOOK BAD!
They are shaming us! These foreign devils are shaming us!
That’s why immigration into Australia must stop!
No Australian born citizen should be shamed like this in our own country.
What this immigrants are doing is just plain unaustralian.

Crime and Punishment
Lame title, I know. But it works.
After watching Underbelly I have decided that there a certain crimes that the perpetuators need to suffer the same fate as their victims … actually only two crimes;
Animal cruelty and paedophilia.
People who torture and kill animals deserve to suffer that very same thing they inflicted. See how they like it!
And paedophiles!
Those bastards deserve to be whipped, have all their parts chopped off and fed to them, and then sent off to prison for life to be at the mercy of the general prison populace. See how they like being raped all the time!

Why a Big Australia is a Bad Idea
I’m watching a documentary by Dick Smith about Australia’s population growth. I really don’t know why this is the first (that I’m aware of) documentary on the subject. Especially since most of the points being brought up seem to be common sense.
I hope that it wakens enough people, and make the pollies decide (or realize) that a big population is a seriously bad idea … and not because of racial reasons.
But because Australia just can’t support it!
I mean, it’s common sense.
Australia is, in fact, a big, open, unpopulated country. And this is the basis for a Big Australia policy/belief; “there’s plenty of room for more people.”
Well, there may be room for more people. But people who say this annoy me, because they’ve clearly never been out of the city and don’t know anything about the country.
There is a reason why all of Australia’s major cities all cling to the coastline (Alice Springs doesn’t count as a major city). It’s because most of the interior of Australia is a fucking desert!
A desert!
Yeah, that's right a desert.
That means that there’s going be a limited amount of important things like water.
Space really has nothing to do with it.
It’s all about water.
There’s only a limited amount of water … and we’re already on water restrictions. And we’re in the middle of a drought.
Less water coming in, and more people coming in spells bad news to the population.
It really doesn’t matter how much space a country has if there’s no water. No water means no population. And yet, people really seem to struggle with this. They just can’t comprehend this.
Instead they resort to the age old accusations of racism when faced with this simple fact;
“Oh. You don’t want more immigrants in Australia? You’re clearly racist, and a horrible person because of that. No one should listen to you, because you’re wrong, because you’re racist!”
Well, I’m sorry if I want to continue to have clean drinking water and being able to take regular showers! Not to mention the fact that there’ll no longer be enough food if the population keeps increasing like it is.
