My thoughts....
Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at 06:01AM Hello to you all.
It’s been a while since I have blogged or written my thoughts down. Since the trip that Ness & I did last year we have been otherwise occupied with making babies and planning for our future.
But the events that have taken place in the last 6 months have prompted me to really question what the hell is going on with the world!
Ok I’ll start with KRudd being given the boot, obviously the labour party have the brains of a Gnat! Sure Julia had the “Wow” novelty factor, but when it comes down to real politics and leadership the Rudster has it in spades. Mark my words and Kevin 07 will be back as PM!
Oh and can someone just shoot Julie Bishop!.... what a whiney, whingey, sour faced bitch she is! Half the reason Abbott is struggling is because of her angry negativity!.... have you seen her smile, even her smile is scary, she would make a great character in a Steven King novel!
I have expressed my views on Julia’s Mining Resources Rent Tax..... so won’t go there, but to backflip on the Carbon Tax is just wrong. You know I actually believe that we need an Emissions Trading Scheme, But to backflip like she did is just not acceptable to the Australian people.... Good luck at the polls Julia!
To overseas, and I will start with Egypt. Did any of you take the time to look at how a president could stay in power for 30 years? No wonder the people cracked the shits and took to the streets, here was a president living the life of luxury while his people starved (figuratively speaking) and if you dig deeper you will find that he was there largely due to the support of the World Police (Read USA).... it suited them to have Hosni and his cronies in power in Egypt for so long..... but eventually it bit them on the arse!.... of course they will deny it! and claim that Mubarik must step down!
Hey I wonder if the CIA or secret services will pick up on my blog? If I disappear mysteriously you all have to find out why????
We then have to go back to the NZ mining disaster.... as someone who has worked in and with the mining industry I can only feel for the families and friends of those killed, I’m sure there will be blame, and people will want answers. But that is not going to bring them back..... lets look at what we need to do to make sure this does not happen again!
Colonel Gaddafi is next, he must be sitting in his green cloak with his bad wig on absolutely shitting himself..... his nurse & his harem have dispersed and he is slowly being abandoned by many of the people that have made squillions from him! Now I don’t know about you but can any of you remember when Gaddafi was a serious threat to world peace? I can! Why did we not take him out 30 years ago? We technically allowed him to blow up a plane over Scotland, and recently sent one of the bombers home because he is sick! If only the passengers on the plane had the same options! Please let me off.... I don’t want to blow up!..... WTF (I’ll translate this for you older readers)
The Japan earthquake is just terrible; I’m not even going to make a joke of it. I just can’t imagine what the country is going to have to do to get back on track. But having been to Japan many times I feel that if anyone can do it the Jap’s can. Best wishes & stay strong.
I watched a series of programs on the ABC about the changes to the world, I’m quite a positive person but some of the things I saw on this program were damn depressing! Did you know that the amount of oil we burn in one year takes 3million years to produce? So how much oil is left? and who controls the majority of the worlds oil reserves? This is seriously scary stuff.
I’m currently in Qld at a minesite, they are happily digging dirty great big holes in the ground and mostly oblivious to any damage that is being done. I’m not a greenie but it certainly has got me thinking.
I guess the reason I am writing all of this down is just to get it out of my system, seriously have a think about your life and the lives of your families. We are probably the luckiest country in the world and have managed to so far avoid the many manmade and natural disasters that have happened in the last few years.
With Vanessa being pregnant & Bradley and Dan growing up way too quick I guess it also has me thinking about the future for them and their families?
Take care of yourselves and take care of your families, don’t get sucked in to the way the rest of the world is going!
Speak to you all soon.

James,
Lovely to have you back on line! Must say you have got a lot on your mind and clearly needed to vent. My two cents worth:
Politicians and co are all blood sucking twits who should be held accountable for making life harder for every one else. They are generally over paid and have more perks than anyone else. No matter where they are in the world they all end up behaving the same if the people let them. We're lucky to have a choice to throw them out if we get annoyed enough. The fact the the USA keep funding dictators around the globe to control oil etc just shows how screwed up the world is.
As for teh natural disasters - Mother Nature is a woman and you can only push women so far until they push back! And it looks like she has really truly had enough!
Anyway, that's my lot. Gotta get back into the training session (see I take my job seriously!)

Great minds think alike! I too have been considering the overwhelming situations in other parts of the world and think that we are lucky to live where we live. I often wonder about people like young Braidy, who has in her short life had such dramatic experiences with fires then floods, along with seeing other things on tv that I have never seen before in my life. Stay grounded and well-adjusted, never forgetting how lucky we are, because it's not what happens to you in life, but rather, what you do about it that really matters.
far out you can rabbit on about a load of crap, can't believe we waited this long and that's what you give us! ;)
do agree that oz is a pretty great place to live when you look at all the crap going on everywhere else-politically and naturally.
miss the updates on your meals, vanessa's shoes and the rubble you run into on the road....
Glad to see you are "back". Don't leave it so long next time. Enjoyed all the "rants"......
