Odds and ends.

This blog post is going to be a whole range of thoughts which are going through my mind at the moment. Random, and I’m aiming to not go in depth with them.

# I still fear that he is in the house or outside, which unfortunately keeps him on my mind.

# I always get choral passages stuck in my head after carols, and feel disappointed that the home audience miss out on the full musical experience of CBC.

# I worry that mum may regret coming back to Oz for Christmas.

# The last episode of The Slap made me cry, I really hope they further the storylines, it really was an engrossing watch!

# I’m continually planning what I’m going to teach on the first three days of school next year.

# I really hope I don’t stuff it up. (Teaching, life, all that’s between).

# I aim to lose 40kg. Christmas isn’t helping.

# I really would love a boyfriend right now (A loyal, honest one!)

# Fly me to the moon could possibly be my wedding dance number…. Sinatra style!

# I really hope this year brings us equal marriage rights in Australia.

# I wish I had the capital to start up my own magazine for weddings.

# I wish I had a sense of connection with my family, other than my mum. I also wish I didn’t have this wish at times.

# I would like my dog to Shut. UP!

# Tino’s necklace really sums up who I am.

# Tino’s necklace makes me feel like I should keep pushing forward with music.

# I want to be singing a solo/duet at Carols one year.

# There was far too much smoking in The Slap.

# I think my mine is empty now. “think”.

Dear…..

Dear Summer,
Thank you for being the season of my choice, while I disagree with your agressive behaviour with fires, I thank you for encouraging attractive people to wear basically nothing. I do however disagree how this can transfer to the less eye-catching people and would issue a warrent for your arrest, however there is always a more attractive person to take their place.

Dear Sun Cancer advertisers,
Thank you for encouraging people to wear sunscreen, I recommend that you show less graphic advertisements at lunch and dinner time though, because it’s likely that I will become bullemic or anorexic because of these adverts, and that doesn’t appeal to me. I also advise that sunscreen should be a lot cheaper or even free at certain locations like beaches and public transport services, more people will use it as they won’t have an excuse to not use it.

Thanking both of you,
Krislicked

Sleep

If your like me, you’d be laying in bed with a fan on, with thoughts drowning your mind.

I can’t sleep, two reasons, it’s rather hot, and I fell asleep for 5 hours on the lounge floor when I got home, thus I’m not as tired as I should be!

I got into Uni yesterday, Melbourne Uni. That is such a scary and amazing thing, I never thought that I could say that I went there, it just feels too prestegious. I know that I’ll do a good job, even if it kills me.

I don’t really have too much of anything else on my mind, other than wanting to dive into a sea of sleep for 3 hours.

Even in this heat I’d want you to be next to me.
Fuck I’m pathetic.

Tards

Yes, I realise that by the title of the blog I’m likely to receive many comments about how I’m being derogatory towards people with disabilities, but please read me out first. This is not about disabled people who can be described as retarded (the term means to be delayed!)

This is a blog about the unfortunate guiding of the Victorian government and it’s recent changes in water restrictions for small country areas.

Passengers charged for trying to reduce congestion

That Victorian government decided that it would be a grand idea to impliment a law which allows the police and train stations to fine cars that are parked illegally.

Smart idea, considering that there is a severe lack of available parking spaces available for communters. Yes the government has announced plans of increasing the size of the car parks, however, who knows when these spaces will be finished by, considering that nearly every government project implimented takes about a year to 18 months as a minimum to be finished.

The main problem that I see affecting public transport communters is that the government has identified that growth areas in Victoria, but aren’t prepairing for them appropriately, they’re implimenting changes AFTER they’re needed. What out car spaces need is a multilevel car space, whice has the ability to expand upwards. Yes, they’ll be ghastly, but they’re needed.

Come on Victorian polititians, use your brains

Tissues and ducks – oh why?

 

I was looking at a the picture on the tissue box as I was blowing my nose just before, and I suddenly realised that there were ducks on the packet that I was using, generally associated with softness and a particular brand of tissues.

It was then that I realised that I don’t actually think I’ve ever touched a little baby duck, and if I have, I definitely haven’t put it up to my nose and blown on the poor defenceless creature. Maybe I should have blown my nose on a duck, I mean, unless tissues are generated from the little creatures, something which I’m certain would cause mass hysteria for all animal activists who have to blow their noses after being on many a protest early in the morning.

But that also makes me think of tissue boxes with flowers on them, a lot of the time they’re not scented, and they don’t feel as soft, or as harsh, as the flowers they depict on their boxes. Ranges of daffodils, lavender, roses, and many other assorted flower types. The tissues don’t feel like the velvet touch that some flowers give us, they also don’t feel like lavender, something which is generally rather harsh to touch (of course, this is varies per species). Tissues aren’t covered in thorns from roses, and definitely don’t attract bugs.

Then we have the assorted random trippy images on our tissue boxes which and be really quite insulting to people who’ve:
1: Never lived through the 60′s and can’t remember what happened
2: Have never taken drugs (mainly acid/LSD)
3: Aren’t aware of Dali, or other psychedelic artists’, artworks.

Then, the one design which for me really does depict the true creation of tissues is a box covered with a forest theme, at last the designers may be telling us something new about how their tissues are created and where they come from, huge towering piles of wood. The thing is, these boxes generally represent recycling, because we’re saving the trees… I think?

What I’m saying people is this, our tissue boxes work very hard at depicting that they’re soft to the nose, what they don’t provide along with this ultimate softness is a lacking of strength, because when you have a really blocked nose you can literally rip through the tissue, and then you need another one or two to clean up your hands.

Excuse me, I’m off to find a baby duck, I have a nose that needs blowing. I would prefer a rabbit though, they’re bigger and you’re likely to get a lot more nasal use from it.

With darkness comes….

One of the things that always surprises me, is that with the most dark and omnious things, there is typically always a silver lining.

You forget to put your bins out, you got to stay inside in the warm.
You lose a close friend in your life for whatever reasions, you now have the chance to get to know someone else better.

It really does go on and on when you think about it!

Love – Fact or Fiction

I was laying in bed last night, as I happen to be doing a lot lately, and I was thinking (another thing which I appear to be doing  a lot more of as well lately), and I was pondering, “Why are we so compelled to be in a relationship with someone else? What pushes us to look for someone else? Why do we keep chasing something which can lead to a feeling of ecstasy, but when it’s torn away, feels like a hole has been taken out of your soul”

Add to that something which my old music teacher told me, “It’s much easier to write love songs and songs about heart break, than it is to write songs about being happy and alone. You’ll find more songs about sadness (generally because of love), than you will about just pure and simple bliss or happiness”.

I have to agree with him. While I’m typing this I’m perusing the Hype Machine and am listening to Lady Gaga’s “Love Game”. A song which is all about this so called “love game” of life which could quite simply be talking about the way that people pretty much just sleep around now days and don’t really find one person to spend the rest of their life with (and sometimes when they do, they still sleep around).

What to write?

It’s hard to know what to write about when you don’t really have anything to write about. The feeling is almost the same as when you have pretty much nothing to talk about when people are trying to talk to you. Most of the time I’m able to talk about anything, but as time has been passing by, I’ve noticed that I’m not really saying anything of importance.

Then again, what is really classed as being importaint. Does it have to be important to us, or to other people? Surely it must be a bit of both. If we were really that self indulgent we would focus on talking about things which are truely importaint to us, rather than trying to make what we’re thinking be appealing to other readers. I don’t know. All that I can say is that I will definately be on my way to try and think about something more meaningful to write about.

The things you can’t forget!

Life gives us challenges. Well, we can say that, but at the end of the day, is it really life which is challenging us, or are we creating our own issues which lead to us looking at doing some really interesting stuff?

Well, interesting in the form of being historic. That said, I find everything historic in some sense. The breaking up of a relationship. The little argument which was over nothing that important. The look in someones eyes before they do something which could end someones life. The mongering of a war, or even colonisation which has the potential to wipe out a nation of people and animals.

No matter what the effects are of something, you can’t go back and alter them. We don’t have time travel, and if we did, the chances of using it to use it as a research tool is potentially catastrophic for the rest of the future.

Things which have been happening recently in the media like with the Indian students being attacked (and students of other nationalities as well), with Gordon Ramsey’s remarks about Tracey Grimshaw, with Victorian students writing about George Cloony in their General Achievement Tests, all of these things can’t be taken back. While they may be re-interpreted differently by historians in the future which could ultimately change the way which we have viewed these issues and have been affected by them.

I personally have experienced and done things which have resulted in ending and creating friendships. However I do my best to try and predict what the outcomes of anything I do could result in. How many people could reflect on their actions this way?

Had Gordon Ramsey thought properly about going on stage and talking about other people we wouldn’t have had the media discussing an issue which really shouldn’t exist any more in today’s society. The same applies to the racial attacks on Indian students.

So what are you going to do today which will change history as we don’t already know it?
