So Prince Charles has sent his sympathy to all of those affected by the floods still sweeping Eastern Australia.
"Our hearts go out to all those that have lost loved ones amongst their families and who have been so incredibly badly affected by this appalling natural disaster,"
Now all of those poor people can sit back and relax now, because they now have royal sympathy on their side.
Huzzah!
That should really fix all their problems. It really should, because, as we all know, sympathy, especially the royal kind, can magically fix everyone's problems, and pay for all of the repair costs, not to mention the magical ability of sympathy to replace all of those precious memories items.
That's just the kind of world we live in.
What a minute ...
Reality check! (sorry, but it's needed)
Sympathy doesn't do all of that. All sympathy does is (hopefully) encourage people to dig deep in their pockets and time, and make generous donations to the cause in question (this time being the flood stricken eastern states).
But it appears that for all of his sympathy, Prince Charles isn't going to donate a cent (or whatever the British equilavent is) to the victims of the floods.
"But all we can do is show real sympathy and understanding and so on this particular occasion may we wish you every success despite all the challenges ahead."
But let's give him this, he seems to at least be aware that just sympathy isn't really enough.
"We are thinking so much of all those out there in Australia, it seems so inadequate and it seems so hopeless in many ways to do this
Maybe a pre-emptive strike against angry people who want a little more than just royal sympathy. Or maybe he wants to donate a little money to the flood victims, but doesn't want to incite anger from people or persons back home in Britain.
Who knows?
Maybe in the near future there will be a donation from our royal family to the flood victims. But until then, they'll just have to make do with royal sympathy, and hope that it's a little more magical than the poor, common person's sympathy (which allows him/her to donate money to the flood victims).

The 2011 Floods and the Good They have Done
Everyone keeps focusing about the negative side of the floods sweeping the eastern states. Sure, it's a terrible thing that's happening. And it doesn't look like there's going to be an end to them any time soon (my family in Swan Hill are now facing said floods).
But I feel that I should point out the brighter side of these floods.
Yes. There's actually a positive to them.
Firstly (and most obviously), we clearly now have enough water to last us a few years without having to worry about running out ... unless the fools in Melbourne decide to ease water restrictions just to win a few city votes.
Secondly (and most importantly), the storms that accompanied the beginning of these floods (at least the Victorian floods) seems to have destroyed the portal between worlds (and/or time).
This is a massively good thing (at least it is for the good people of Ballarat).
Now the evil white rabbits that kept appearing out of nowhere in and around the Eureka Park (Ballarat East) don't seem to be appearing any more. No more of their little scouts are running around town at night. Their rusty little door has been destroyed (it could be heard at night creaking whenever it was in use).
The good people of Ballarat (and possibly the rest of Victoria ... even Australia) can now breath a sigh of relief. Th threat of invasion by these cute but evil white fiends (Anya was right to fear bunnies) has been cut short.
For the time being, at least.
Who knows if they'll rebuild their little portal and once again attempt to take over the world.

Fitting In: A Time and a Place
People are always going on about how it's so important to get to know one's neighbours, and all that. But at the same time people are all about not talking to strangers and getting to know one another.
And also, at the same time everone seems to be going on about how good it is to out do one's neighbours, while at the same time becoming best mates so that nothing bad happens to one's house.
But seriously there is a time and a place for this kind of shit.
At the same time, no one wants to know their neigbours.
No one seems to realize that if one wants to become mates with their neighbours, then one really can't totally outshine their neighbours.
I mean, if you live in a cheaper suburb than you would like, it probably isn't wise to advertise the fact that you can afford to live better than your neighbours ... if something bad happens, your neighboursaren't probably going to go out of their way to help you.
But if you make sure that your house is up to about the same standard as the rest of your street, your neighbours are probably aren't going to help you ... because you're so snooty
There is something about being mediocre within the neighbourhood.
You don't want to be completely different on either spectrum, because that really won't lead to help (and I feel that I don't need to explain this).
If you want to feel safe in your neighbourhood, you have to be willing to talk to people, even if you feel that those people are below you. Just as long as your neighbours are happy enough to freely talk to you when they run into you in the street.
So long as your neighbours feel that you feel that you're both on the same level, they'll look out for you as best as they can ... and if you're in a dodgey area, the real bad arse of the area could be the best mate you ever made (for obvious reasons).
So when out shopping, always reply to strangers when they talk to you (unless they off you lollies, kids) and you should be fine enough in your suburb ... so long as you don't totally outshine your neighbours and make them look poor.

Rainy Day Entry
I'm sitting inside looking out at the weather, finding it hard to believe that it's meant to be summer in southern Victoria. If I were living up in Queensland, I wouldn't be having such a hard time believeing it was summer.
But I'm down south. Well below the tropics.
Summer down south isn't meant to be wet and humid. It's meant to be dry and hot.
And more to the point, that's exactly how I like my summers to be; dry and hot. Not this wet and humid crap. It's not really summer with weather like this.
Plus, because it's so humid, it's not so cold, which is completely ruining my favourite wet weather food. It's not cold enough to enjoy soup!
What is the world coming to if I can't enjoy soup on a rainy day?
Although, on the plus side, all this rain will be filling up the rivers. So naturally that means that the Murray will be getting very close to flooding.
Actually, this is new. It's been close to flooding since before Christmas.
But maybe this new down pour will flush out all of that black toxic water that Dad and everyone else has been talking about. Maybe after this down pour the river water will be cleaner than just a few days ago.
It would be nice to go and visit dad after this down pour.
Simply just so that I can see the river so full, possibly even flooded (something I haven't seen for about 15ish years). It would be nice just to visit/relive those childhood memories once more.
Ah, nostolgia, you make everything seem so much better than reality.
Well, maybe I will go and visit dad soon and play happy family for a weekend ... actually, if I really want to benifit from the game, I'll probably have to play happy family for a little more than just one weekend ... really should've gone up to see him whene the rest of the house went up to Swan Hill to visit their families.
Oh well.

Weight Loss Fads
Yeah, I'm back onto the whole weight loss thing.
I seem to be harping on about that a bit lately. I guess it's because I'm trying to lose a few kg, so I'm a little more aware of it on TV and all that.
It's also, because I'm actually putting in the effort to lose weight (most days).
But I'm sick of seeing all these fad weight loss diet regimes being advertised on TV, advertising that the food or pill product will help people lose weight without actually having to do much (if any) exercise.
They're just pandering to all the fat lazy slobs who want to get skinny without actually having to do any work!
As far as I'm concerned, being skinny is really more a sign of how fit and healthy you are. You have to actually work hard to achieve being skinny. That means actually going out and doing some (shock! horror!) exercise.
I mean, sure eating healthy does help. But you still have to do some exercise. But it's not all food (or pill) based.
When I was working as a door to door sales person I was outside walking around for most of the day. And most of the food I ate during that time was just Maccas or Hungry Jacks. I didn't just have small meals either; I usually had large and washed them down with a thick shake or soft drink.
Nothing at all healthy in what I ate.
Yet, I lost about three kg just from all the walking around I was doing.
No expensive diet regime.
No fat abolishing pills.
Just exercise. Pure and Simple.
These people who pay to lose their fat are just being lazy (unless they're paying for a gym membership), and the the big companies know this. That's why there's so many diet and pill regimes on offer. They're just targeting the fat lazy slobs.
If people want to be skinny and lose weight, they should be prepared to do the work, and exercise it off. Maybe then they'll be successful in keeping the weight off.

The Grass is Always Greener
Which, I'm probably sure you already know that.
But I was all set to actually start writing about all of the nutters I came across while at work.
That, as you may or may not know, was kind of ruined for me when I was fired.
And (I assume you already know this) it's kind of hard to write about new and interesting things when I'm sitting at home all day.
Now I kind of want to go back to work ... but when I do, it'll be a much better paying job than the one I just fired from.

I Shouldn't Be Losing Weight!
In light of my previous post, I've just realised that I really shouldn't be losing weight.
I live in Ballarat!
I need all the insulation I can get! And that includes that extra layer fat on my body.
Being overweight in Ballarat makes it that little bit easier to stay warm for most of the year. It's also a bit of a money saver, since I'll be saving a little bit of money with the reduced heater and electric blanket usage.
And for that month or so when it actually gets hot, I can just go elsewhere if the heat gets too much for me (which is unlikely).
Although it'll probably have a hard time trying to find a place cooler than Ballarat.

Wii Fit
It's probably a good thing I'm not impressionable when it comes to my weight.
I just jumped on the Wii Fit to check out how I was doing weight-wise. I'm now in the ideal weight range according to Wii Fit. But as well as congratulating me about this, it also told me that I still needed to lose more weight.
Yeah, I need to lose another five kg if I want to be totally healthy.
So now I'm going to find out what happens when I reach my goal weight that Wii Fit has set for me. Not because it told I have to, but because I want to reach the weight I was when I was 17/18 (something that is surprisingly hard when mum isn't around to monitor what I eat so that I don't over indulge).
I'm pretty certain that once I reached my (or Wii Fit's) ideal weight, I'm pretty certain that Wii Fit won't congratulate me. It'll just say that I need to lose more weight so that my BMI is absolutely perfect (at least that will most likely be the excuse it uses as it demands I drop my weight).
Now that's healthy, isn't it?
Especially if I were really self conscious about how I looked and wanted to look like one of the photo shopped models in the magazines.
While the Wii Fit is a great way to get exercise without having to leave the house and go to the gym, it's extremely dangerous.
Wii Fit doesn't seem to realize that no one has the same ideal weight as anyone else (and how would it? It's a computer). So when you set unrealistic weight loss goals (for example, 10 kg in two weeks), and then don't achieve said goal, it gets angry and berates you for it ... even though two weeks earlier it said that such weight loss is extremely unhealthy and unsafe.
So imagine all of those people who are extremely conscious about their body image using the Wii Fit. It'll be doing them more damage than good. Demanding that they lose more weight sooner.
Oh, and I'm aware that plenty of people have already probably talked about this (and probably in better and more detail). I've just realized just how damaging it can be.

Time to be Concerned
Today was meant to be my first day back at work after the Christmas break.
No problems, right?
it just meant that I have to get up a littler earlier than usual (ok, a lot earlier) and get myself down to the office.
Easy.
Or it should've been.
I mean, I got myself up without any problems. It was acually surprisingly easy considering how late I went to bed.
The hard part came when I thought about getting myself down to the office. I just went limp and couldn't move when I thought about it.
The thought of going back to that shitty job was just too much for me.
I really need a better job. One that doesn't fill me with dread at the thought of going in.
But I was expecting a phone call from the people in the office about mid morning to find out where the hell I am, and why I'm not in at the office.
I haven't recieved that call yet. And I don't think I'm going to.
So now I'm not sure if I even have this shitty job. I mean, what if I go into the office tomorrow and everyone asks why I'm there? That could be a little embarrassing. Not to mention a waste of my time ... ok, maybe not a waste of my time. But it will be a waste of my energy at the very least.
I guess I had better act quickly and get myself another job.

Climate Change
You know what I find fascinating?
No, I guess you wouldn't.
Here's a hint; it has something to do with climate change (as the title probably suggests).
Give up?
Too bad. I'm going to tell you anyway.
What I'm fascinated about is the sudden silence surrounding the whole climate change drama.
Oh, sure, there's still a little coverage about it in the media. But it's dramatically reduced from all of the hysterical fear mongering reports of very recent times.
It's not actually all that surprising though. It was very clear that the popularity of climate change was dying (or about to) when global warming was changed to climate change due to the cooling of the planet.
Let's face it, if you were one of the fools to jump on the global warming band wagon, screaming about how we have to change our ways if we didn't want the planet to heat up anymore, it has to be very difficult to suddenly start spouting the exact opposite without sounding like an idiot.
Well, more of an idiot.
The fact that the planet started cooling really did shut up a lot of the global warming fans.
It's hard to argue that the climate changes aren't natural when the climate suddenly does what you want it to.
But, many people were still dedicated in their cause (and let's give them credit for that). These people very quickly changed it from global warming to climate change (to cover the fact that the planet is now cooling, in case you haven't picked up on that).
Although once the name of the cause had been changed, the popularity dropped. I guess, because many people on the climate change (formerly global warming) band wagon decided to do a little research. I guess in doing their research they realized that climate change IS, in fact, NORMAL.
These people, not wanting to look like bigger idiots than they already did jumped off the band wagon.
Now there's very little media coverage about climate change. This is because there's less hysterical people spreading the fear.
And now governments can go back to focusing on policies that don't include trying to control the climate ... at least, not publicly (I'm sure there's more than a few governments out there who would love to be able to control the climate to control the world). And the climate change fear mongers now have to wait for the climate to start warming again, before they can once again spread their message of fear.
No, I guess you wouldn't.

2011
Well, as you're probably aware, it's now 2011.
Big surprise, huh.
Maybe time for reflections about the past year, and what I want from this new year?
So, what did I learn last year?
Well, apart from the obvious; finding a job that I really want to do is damn near impossible. So naturally, discovering that I don't like being a door to door sales person all that much didn't come as a surprise ... but at least it's giving me skills that I may need when I finally get into journalism ... not to mention some of the (fictional) stories I might be able to get from some of the nutters I deal with.
I also remembered that going to Ocean Grove for Christams is a really stupid idea. I don't know why I keep forgetting this little fact. Maybe because no one can possibly believe just how bad tourists can get.
And I wasn't even driving a car, which is when you see some classic tourist stupidity.
Not that there was a shortage of that; shopping in Geelong Nat Geo had someone walking around Baycity with someone dressed up as a platypus (still don't know why though). But some lady walking past the table I was sitting at said to her child "Look at the duck."
I mean the Nat Geo platypus did look self concious, but he was still clearly a playtpus! Stupid woman. Stupid touros.
And now I'm ranting ...
So going to change the subject back to my 2011 refelctions;
Well I guess what I want from this year is obvious; a much, much better job than the one I currently have. Preferably one in journalism ... but anything with writing is pretty good for me.
I'd also like to say that I will avoid Ocean Grove during the height of tourist season. But since mum lives down there, I know that this won't be the case.
