Social Media

We're all beholden to it. We all use it like we need it to breathe. And not just the kids, but your uncle, your mum, your teacher, your prime minister.

Even my grandma is on it.

Social media has infiltrated our world quicker than any other technology. But is this a bad thing? I can keep in touch with friends and get new people to see my business.

Here are some links to help you decide whether social media is good or bad for society.

Wide Reading

Wide reading is extremely important, not just in schools, but in everyday life. Here are a few links to some Australian poetry I have enjoyed recently.

Why I don't drink

Dear the Reader,

It's been too long. I apologise for not being around. Uni seriously takes its toll on me sometimes. But I'm back and you have me uni free for about 4 months.

People ask me every now and then why I don't drink. The reason is not a complicated one. In fact it is all in this news story from Broome.

When I go riding crocs I'm gonna be sober. I'm not an idiot.

Public reply to man with road rage in Kogarah

Dear The Reader,

On Friday I was subject to an idiot who thought he could drive. First, he cut me off, almost causing an accident. I came very close to running into the back of his car. He later slammed his breaks on for no reason, at which I gave a friendly toot with my horn. He then attempted to reverse parallel park in a No Parking Zone. He reversed halfway in before stopping, blocking traffic, opened his door, looked at me and started yelling "What's your problem?!?" and other, more offensive phrases.

I decided to wait for the childish reaction to pass before replying. Here is my public reply:

I think you forgot to put your L plates on. Obviously you don't know road and parking rules, and I don't have time to teach you. Pick up some lessons from your local driving instructor.

If, by chance, you actually do have a full licence, I would be having a serious look at the corrupt RTA employees who wrongfully issued it.

In any case, you are a bit of a dickhead. The woman in the front seat didn't look impressed by your attempt at faux masculinity. If she was your partner, hopefully she saw your true side, and either left you or cut your bits off to match your validity of being called a man.

Please take into consideration other drivers next time you get behind the wheel.

Narrabeen Lagoon

Dear the Reader,

I went to the Narrabeen Lagoon for a uni assessment. Pictures speak for themselves.

As you can see this place is beautiful. However it is in danger. Just like almost every other water way in Australia it is subject to erosion and sediment buildup. People are saying to go and have a day trip there before it's gone, because it may very well disappear in our lifetime.

The most beautiful place on Earth

Dear The Reader

I've recently been talking with people a lot about where the most beautiful place on Earth is. Is it Egypt and its beautiful river and ancient tombs and temples? Could it be the Scottish Highlands and it's green, rolling countryside? Maybe it's Italy and its rich culture and architecture?

I could be biased (and I will be) and say Australia is. Sydney alone has amazing views. I visited my aunty in Concord today, but before visiting I stopped at the head between Exile and Canada Bays and took some quick pics on my phone.










When I got home I found out it was forecast to rain. So I went outside and took this...




And this




Rain may be on it's way, but the Mother Sky is giving us the most beautiful twilight she can.

In conclusion!!! The most beautiful place to me is right here, where I am. There's no place like it. For that reason it also can't be the most beautiful. Look around and find beauty where you are.

Drunk Women

Dear The Reader

You know that whole "last night was awesome. I got soooooooo drunk!" thing? I got to experience that from a sober DJ point of view at a birthday party last night. A crowd of stupid drunk, forty-something year old women who wanted what they wanted now.

Now, I'll admit some of those ladies were pretty good looking. But as soon as their eyes drooped and their speech slurred and their steps staggered they were no longer attractive.

But then it got worse. As the night got later women (I refuse to call them ladies) came up and said things like "The birthday girl wants you to skip this song. She doesn't like how it starts." and "Can you play music that doesn't suck?"

Seriously? You just asked for Katy Perry and now you think it sucks?

These women are all that's wrong with the drinking culture. It's almost surprising they didn't start a fight.

The lesson we can all take away from this is don't get drunk. You do stupid things and the sober people end up hating you and hoping you end up getting your stomach pumped.
