It’s been a lot of web design this holiday. I think I’m trying to avoid the World completely by hiding online. Sad as shit and it’s a bit depressing. I made a foray to a local mall to bank a cheque yesterday and it was thoroughly depressing. What is with that fucking waddle NZ’ers put on when shopping? My god, we look like a bunch of fat ducks getting all consumer on the World. Lame. Cheque banked and back to a worse unreality embedded in virtual reality.
I did get out in the garden between showers (the weather kind, not the personal hygiene) to beat the hell out of the ground. I’ve added edging to the … well, edges and it looks damn fine. Broke up the old compost heap, more a pile than heap but who’s counting. Some of the compost must have been 20 years old. It was excellent and is now forming a new garden area. Also found a shitload of chop bones and some plastic sheets (nice one previous owner dickheads). It was excellent breaking up the old compost…I hardly ever get to destroy things these days.
On a political note, China hosting the Olympic games. What a fucking joke. If that doesn’t highlight the complete insanity we are currently racing through nothing does. Let’s stop screwing around and get rid of these games completely. Democracy is quickly dying so why try to keep up the charade….unless someone actually wants to fight for it. We seem to have a large number of govt funded ads on TV telling us we drink too much, smoke too much, play too much, are too fat, are too stupid, are too uneducated, are not buying enough kiwi made, are not American enough, use too much electricity, are not-LEAVE US THE FUCK ALONE.
I live my life the way I do because it suits me, not because it is great for the environment or lets some idiot drive to work another day. I change as circumstance require not before, not after. If you can’t do the same I will either take what you are giving up or watch you disappear.
Bad day.
