Hmm, five days since my last post - if this was a report card, I would be saying to myself 'must try harder'. I also have let my photo website slip, and a couple of days this week have only been online half an hour at most - World Cup news is about all I have been actively searching for, otherwise it has been passively seeing what's on the news websites basically. Also have been withdrawing into myself quite a lot the last couple of weeks, haven't been talking as much to anyone as usual, especially those not in Brisbane directly in my line of sight.
Went into a chatroom yesterday, for the first time in approximately six months - was only on there for half an hour at most, probably less actually. Was rolling my eyes almost as soon as I got there - the same old same old, the virtual hugging, the virtual flirting, the virtual stalking (well, guys just going on there asking for girlfriends every twenty seconds). And that scene was my main socialising outlet for hmm two or three years, and I was fully into it - the hugging and flirting, to clarify, I mean. 'Met' some nice people out of it, emphasis on some, but am looking back on that time and have to admit I was a dickhead as much as anyone else around the rooms...
There was a very stupid 1900 poll on Sunrise last week - yes, stupider than the whole pay to vote and it doesn't become public policy anyways - on whether smokers and drinkers should pay for their own health care if they end up in hospital. Two thoughts, that would work only if we made the heroin addicts, the cocaine fiends, all those meth drones pay for their own healthcare as well - which would take a lot of pressure off the health system, but we would have thousands dying from overdoses every year - and then was thinking about the way Prohibition worked, and also the wonderful succcess making marijuana illegal has been. Because you can't get dope at all in this country, oh no.
The whole new Queensland law of banning smoking where food may possibly be served - in real terms, banning smoking from public areas, including bars, clubs and pubs, altogether. Yeah, second hand smoke can be dangerous, but of course let's go on serving alcohol, which often brings out the worst in people, let alone the drink driving dangers. If something is legal, it should be freedom of choice where or where you don't partake in that legal activity, and as for private property, it should be up to the owners of the premise (be it a pub, club, or private property) whether smoking is allowed there - not a government diktat.
Anyways...
Italy v France in the World Cup final eh. And yes, the burn out has occured this World Cup as previously - watching a lot of the games at the start of the comp, when it is coming to crunch time I have been setting my alarm for 4.50am to wake up and catch the games, but haven't been able to get the motivation to get up. Need sleep more is the thinking, but will catch the final, and may catch the 3/4 match...
More soon hopefully - not another five day delay perhaps.
