Don't know but if you find it can you tell me, I need a boost in the happy times department.

What do you put on your french fries?
Got to be McDonalds fries, I dip them in my chocolate sundae, it's the best!
Things Could Be Worse
Do you ever want everything? Is getting everything even possible?
Can someone be happy, successful and contented at the same time? Maybe, but it's hardly ever seen. I suppose Sir Richard Branson is all of these, he seems to enjoy life but does he have regret also?
Take no notice of me I'm just in one of many mood changes which, seem to be a daily thing for me lately. I feel frustrated, at times I feel lost, others I feel centered and knowing where I'm going. It's a strange and complicated ride I'm on. I'm like Melbourne; four seasons in one day.
It's tiring when on a downer but exhilarating when on a high. Trying to make the right choice today is not working, leave it for tomorrow is my excuse but that day never comes, does it!

Death of Internet Freedom
You may recall the much publicised Australian Internet Filtering Bill which was set to go through Parliament and become law. Thanks to those who took a stand against this draconian step backwards, who like myself and other saw this as anti-Australian. Thankfully through the leaking of the URL data content to the Australian media, the Internet Filtering Bill died a sudden death.
However today, I read the USA has a similar objective and has initiated steps to have a Internet Filtering Bill censor what Americans can view, publish and access via the World Wide Web. Although this Bill has not be passed yet, it certainly something which should be of concern to all Australians. If this Bill is passed, don't be surprised if Australia will follow suit - most times the political leaders of our Country mirror their actions on the USA. Freedom of speech, democracy and our birth rights of being citizens of a "Free Country" all amount to jack, when these type of laws are thrust down our throats.
The millions of brave men and women who gave up their lives fighting in wars to bring down tyranny and defended people's rights to freedom, would be horrified to learn of such blatant acts against its citizens rights.
As Chris Richardson from webpronews.com stated, "reading about PROTECT-IP, I’m reminded of the following scene from Revenge of the Sith:"
Chris goes on to say, "However, instead of applause, it seems that apathy or ignorance rules the day." What a spot on observation. A troubling lack of knowledge, more to the point, not too many people seem to give a toss. Ironically it's that I'm alright jack fuck everyone else attitude which will come back to bit these self interested people on the ass. Again with an ironic twist, they seem to be the first people to start bitching about their losses.

Echos From the Past
Music has the amazing power to instantly transport us to a memorable time and place. It captures the feelings, thoughts and emotions which live in us all. Occasionally when I get a little sentimental I take trip down memory lane. One of the greatest 80's aussie bands to come out of Adelaide Australia was Cold Chisel. Brash, in your face, an iconic aussie rock band. One of their songs, "You Got Nothing I Want", was a middle finger salute to their American record company Elektra.
SicklLad over at YouTube nails it with... Yeah! Cheap wine and a three legged goat, Remember the song but not the lyrics. Was to fucken smashed back then.

Why Can't People be Like Dogs!
Just left to pick up some dinner, was gone maybe 20 minutes. Walking to the front door I can hear 'Harvey' (that's my dog) barking and whining - he's always so happy to see me. He practically turns himself inside out when I return home.
Granted he's probably one of the most spoilt dogs in Australia, but I dare say it wouldn't matter if I fed him crappy dog food or didn't give him yummy treats, he'd still give me all his unconditional love.When I transpose how Harvey greats me and how he's just plain happy to spend time with me, to some of the relationships I've had, I really do sit here and think WTF!
Is it too much effort for anyone to leave a note saying they're going somewhere? I don't think so. In fact I think it's just common courtesy. I'm sure if I took a week's holiday but didn't tell my partner where I was going she'd be right fucked off. And yes she'd have every right to feel this way. So why is it she's unable to leave a simple note when she left for work at 5:30am telling me she wont be home till 9:30pm cause of some training course.
I don't think I'm being unreasonable.
Hence why it would be cool if people were more like dogs.
