Ok this is going to be my Christmas rant. I’m going to get it over with early in the piece, even before the month of December. So please allow me this one indulgence…. Why the fuck do we have images of snow and Mr Snowman in the shopping centres and everywhere around the place and stupid carols being sung about sleighing in the snow!

I live in A-U-S-T-R-A-L-I-A!! It is S-U-M-M-E-R!!

Australia doesn’t even get much snow at the best time of year. Christ our tallest mountain is not a mountain, it is like a molehill (2230m/ 7316ft). Perth is primarily hot all year around, so I don’t see how images of snow and people singing about “oh it’s snowing…lets be merry” is going to make the festive season any more festive! It just shits me that we have to do it the way that the “Northerners” do it. (Yeah I’m whinging about you people above me!) Sure it is winter up there, and it is summer down here. I get the whole opposite side of the world thing. I get the whole population is greater up there etc thingo.

Seriously though, I know that we have made an attempt at making Christmas our own, with the boomer the Christmas Kangaroo. That is just a lame-ass try though. I can’t see a kangaroo with a red nose bouncing down the street, in my wildest dreams. What are they trying to do!!! Make us look like back-water hicks that have kangaroos jumping down the street. Isn’t that what Americans/ Rest of the world already think? I don’t know what the solution is all I know is that I’m sick and fucking tired of hearing “ohh lets sing and be merry in the snow” songs in the shopping centre where they pump up the air conditioner to make you feel like you are living in a blizzard. Then when you walk outside you are hit by the stinking heat of a 45-degree day. I just don’t see their Christmas spirit in there! Maybe I’m being cynical and anti-Christmas. All I just know that it bugs the hell out of me.

Well im a bit worried atm, my Nanna is in hospital. She fell over on the train. At first they thought it wa a heart attack or a stroke. Now they are thinking it was just abit of temporary amnesia type of thing. Anyhow it is a bit worring… seeing that she is on the other side of the country and all. But i know that she is in good hands……seeing that the other half of the family is on that side. They don’t think that anything permanant is wrong.. just got a bruised hand from falling over. Will have to see how things progresss…. i hate the waiting game, sucks!

[Edit:] If you read the comments, you will see that it looks like she will be ok…. thanks for all the encouragement [/Edit]

Right, as you all know. I work outside… being the beginning of summer the flies have just started. Now i dont know if is just the flies or me. They just seem to be really dumb and fucking annoying! The worst is when they get behind your sun glasses, and rattle around between your eyelids and the glasses frame. Kind of like a mini massage i supose you could say. Not a very nice massage, but still, its free. Seriously they are just stupidly fucking annoying.

Now i have had the unfortunate luck of a “catch and release” incident with flies. I was breathing (as you do), i closed my mouth to stop the fly going in my mouth, cause there were so many of the little bastards around. I managed to catch said fly in my lips, thought “WTF! i caught a fly with my lips”. Then proceeded to promptly opened them up and let him fly away. But not before a stern talking too mind you!…. just so he dont get any further ideas or go jabbering on with his cousins and other relatives about what a fun time it is getting stuck in other peoples lips. Hopefully this can be counted as some sorta community service notice against flies.

Now some people say that i say stupid things… i have found out where i get them from…..

Mum patting me on the back
Me: “Dont pat me on the back, im sun burnt”
Mum: “what from??”
Me: “ahhh…the sun”

This may seem like no big deal to lots of you, but i do get a little kick out of this. I haven’t had anything of mine blocked before on the web. So too get blocked, for me is quite a privilage. *tear*

I’m not exactly sure why they would block my site…not like i have lots of truck loads fucking swearing or any type of obscene “cut your head off with a butter knife” kinda violence on here. Maybe it is the catergory “plant porn” that has triggered the filters concern. What ever it maybe, i’m just happy cause I’m blocked baby!
