Success!!
Praise be to Mr Howard for his decision to ban the Australian cricket team from touring Zimbabwe.
Four more years!! Four more years!!

Mobile Phone + Inconsiderate Idiot = Serious Assault Charges
To the very annoying looking woman on the 370 inbound bus yesterday morning...
Please be aware that you slowly and steadily drove me insane with your constant, droning, inane, mind numbing chatter. Your complete ignorance of respectable mobile phone etiquette, while using public transport is astounding, and what's more so, uncivilised.
Taking public transport does not imply that you get to make all the details of your very boring, inconsequential life, public for the rest of us. This may come as a surprise to you but i really don't give a toss about your friend and her kids, or the contents of the last text you sent, i really don't . If i wanted to be that bored i would simply tune in to free to air television...seriously!
You have no idea how close you came to having that damn phone shoved down your damn throat...know what i mean?
A word to the wise, and this goes for all mobile phone users, keep it short, sharp and most of all discreet. If that's done, then we'll all get along juuust fine!

Sprout and the Bean
Setting: 3 home distilled scotches (totally worth the investment, thanks dad - Johnny Walker keep walking!)
Listening to Joanna Newsome's 'Sprout and the Bean' - from the Melbourne tourism add (the most whimsical and magical add i've had the pleasure of watching in the longest time - bugger off anyone who thinks otherwise!!)
Watching Media Player 'the world' visualization
I highly recommend this combination when encountering the below...otherwise it'll most likely sound like gibberish, knowledge of the muse is key :-)
Two embryonic cells, dancing
Life, it's most purest,
unlimited possibilities,
Ever circling, what will be?
Lifetimes in snapshot, divine intent?
Pulsating life, endless beginnings,
Waiting, time will come,
The First Dawning, new life.
A chance for a brighter world?
new life brings, hope restored
Squandered? Maybe, maybe not,
We will decide.
Nothing to do with a sprout or a bean, i know, but it was the visualisation that birthed that aspect, one begat the other so to say, the music was just a peaceful canvas against which to work...
This is my first, shall we say, 'artistic post', so feel free to comment (pls do so, am feeling sorely unloved for my, and some may say, sorely limited efforts :-) and bag the shit out of it, i can take it, no biggie! Seriously...is anyone out there??

Zimbabwe
OMG-The fact this has even got to be discussed in the first place is fucking ridiculous. There is no way in hell our cricket team should tour Zimbabwe now or ever until that fucker Mugabe has been deposed. That is one strong case for state funded assassination if ever i saw it, fuck going to war with the bastard, men like him send children to fight, just blow the top of his head off when he's got his guard down, do the same for his government officials, and support someone in his place who can actually do the job. Simple really!. I'm sure the US can get that right.
How can the Australian Cricket Board and the International Cricket Council even consider playing there, sure some Zimbabwean cricket fans will miss out on seeing a live game, but that counts for nothing in the scheme of things - they'll get over it. After all, what do they really want, cricket or regime change?
Touring Zimbabwe, by the Australian team or any other, when the world is aware of the atrocities and human rights abuses being inflicted there, can only be seen as passive condonation and actively turning a blind eye. It's like saying "Sure, we know all the terrible stuff going on there, it's just that playing a game of cricket is more important".
What IS more important here people, playing a game of cricket or making a stand. It's making a stand, and saying that the Free World (i.e us!) won't tolerate this shit and it's got to stop!
The decision for Downer, the ACB and ICC, if they have any moral fibre at all, is clear cut - Cricket in Zimbabwe? NO FUCKING WAY!
