Aspiring Me

I found this great travel journal blog today after a bit slack off from work. As you will see if you have a look, this guy is epitomising the true nomad lifestyle. Heading off cross country through central asia - the bastard.

I also love some of his descriptive write ups. How about this for a line when talking about the food in Georgia...

This is what food was like before Hepatitis and Heart Disease.

Oh his pics are absolutely bloody fantastic as well. It will inspire me to add some here and write some of my journeys around the globe. Stay tuned.

We Love Your Apathy

I had my iPod on random yesterday and Skunk Anansie's "All I Want" albumn came on. Then their song "We Love Your Apathy" played. I couldn't help but think that the lyrics were pretty apt for the mind-set of the Australian voters.

the sweeter the taste I love it
eaten your gutted spine
all of your thoughts I have them
spitting them out, sublime
(cos) I am the god of power
political to the core
governments roll their heads out
the beast always wants some more
I love it
he loves it
we love your apathy
we crush your
lame spirit
we love your apathy
love-er-ly
I have the information
(that) keeps you from knowing me
I abuse you as you watch me
and you always vote me in
the poorer you are the better
that gives me more control
c'os I am the brute that hates you
(and I'm) loving it to the bone
why don't you wait till you bleed
why don't you wait for the clause
and I'll, and I'll, and I'll, and I'll
and I will watch you
I'll wait for you
I'll wait, I'll wait for you
Repeat chorus

Election night blues

Ah shit. It's Saturday night at 11pm and I have just logged on to see who has won the Aus federal election only to find out that f*#@^*# Johnny Howard has managed to con the ignorant-head-in-the-sand voters that seems to be living in my country now.

What is wrong with you people? Why can't you see what a devisive bastard he truly is? It just makes me really angry that no matter what he has done and lied about later that people actually still want him there.

Another 3 years of him (or Costello) to go. Ah shit! Not a great way to start off my rant and rave blog ... but then again, you have take the good with the bad.
