australia day is january 26 2012 ^{27}

it’s a bit early i know, but january 26 – australia day is here very soon and a traditional australian celebration is the eat lamb campaign with the ever so subtle sam kekovich.

below is as copied from youtube …

After years travelling the world on his one-man crusade against unAustralianism, Sam Kekovich has realised the job is too big for him and his dodgy knees alone. Old-fashioned diplambacy just isn’t cutting it in this day and age. So it’s time to change his tune and embrace popular culture. If UnAustralianism has gone viral, Sam’s only antidote is to do the same.

soundgarden and the big day out ^{13}

wow, the past 12 months have flown by .. it’s big day out time again here on the gold coast and it’s the 20th year of this marvellously funky festival. to celebrate this exciting event and the fact i don’t seem to attend anymore, here’s two wonderfully melodious songs from one of the headliners … soundgarden, they were on the very first bdo and now the 20th.

the other is kanye west, “wtf” is he doing there ? last year i had this to say and think about.

tbaoo should be less judgemental ^{16}

it’s very odd, strange and somewhat less than satisfying around here at the moment. someone asked me the other day how the blogging is going and when i thought about i realised that it’s not going very well. maybe i need a beautiful muse ?

i have failed to find any material for some time, the merriment and silliness i used to bathe in seems to be hiding, or further down than i can hold my breathe for. of course i have laughed at the normal things, american and australian (state, federal and local) politics and the weak as piss media that farts all over me on a regular basis. in fact one local mayoral candidate has been outed as having three women on the “go” at one time. he must really have the power. someone did tell me that women have the ability to go ( off ), i’ve just never really concerned myself with that before now.

now what is there to do, how about a list – you should know by now i love lists. this one is completely random and considering the style here at tbaoo, that’s saying something:

continue to lose weight, my carbohydrate reduced diet with salad and fruit is working
spread my eyes and ears a bit wider to poke fun at so much more
be less judgmental
be more giving
care more about what is important, what others think – isn’t
buy some stylish new clothes – when i’ve lost all the rubbery belly
go to a doctor and sort out all my aches and pains, not the one in my arse, it can’t be removed until i win the lotto
reconsider my relationships with others, maybe try to have some
apologise to my bride for that last one
restrict my access to unsuitable material
think about the opinions of others before i completely discount them
argue less or with more subtlety if i must argue
keep my silly dumb jokes to myself, no-one gets them anyhow
what do you call a sheep with no head and no legs – a cloud
rearrange my schedule to include more – “i give a shit time”
ignore the screaming crap that surrounds my house more often than before
tell my bride that i love her, this is sadly irregular
be all things to all people and be glad that i am
guarantee that the next idiot who knocks on my door selling some man made fantasy, will get a punch in the hooter, no questions asked, well maybe after he gets up

call the oncall call centre for tbaoo ^{10}

well i’m on call again, on standby and standing by. no goodbye just hello. if i have to run away very quickly, i’ll be ready to do so. i have prepared my shorts, shoes and have loads of clean underwear. you may wonder why i’d need clean under wear ? it’s simple, if i’m out for too long, i get four wears out of each pair, inside then outside, backwards and forwards – it’s slightly less than comfortable on two of those rotations, but my occupancy of these undies isn’t that large if you get my drift .. so it’s sort of ok.

the car is fuelled and ready, my cigarette case loaded, my water bottle ready and i’ll make sure i get rid of some water before i go. the state of some public toilets is pretty sad and some places don’t even have a toilet. if i’m in the bushes it takes a bit longer on those two fitting days, as the access is a little restricted. but i’ll get by, or around.

any-who if you see a well dressed, recently evacuated, well refreshed senior gentleman hurtling about the place being responsive, that’s me – say hello – not goodbye.
