It would be alright if the whole world wasn\u2019t always doing something.<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean you just get over one hump and something else happens and you have no idea what that could possibly mean and you haven\u2019t even seen the pebbles in the ocean.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Planes screeching through the sky.\u00a0Doing it on purpose. Maybe.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
It\u2019s alright though because there has been Adoration and I am thinking about the next thing that captures it.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Languid days doing nothing. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I like that part.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I can breathe.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
2. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Why do I have to care about the Middle East? They\u2019ve been throwing rocks at each other for centuries and now that UN resolution tells you everything so good. And god. It\u2019s not like I know anyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I don’t wanna go in and hear everyone argue. It’ll do my head in.\u00a0She said this and he said that and they did this and he did that and so we want this.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
3.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I read that read out thing of OB\u2019s and Xi\u2019s meeting and well, what\u2019s to say exactly?<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Get me to some islands and I\u2019ll throw some daiquiri\u2019s out the window.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2018You lying pieces of crap, here, make it an official holiday.\u2019<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
My mother wouldn\u2019t like me saying those things.\u00a0She\u2019d think it was very unCatholic. God and I parted ways at the bit where everyone beats one person up and Christians work for free.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I don’t think I am very Catholic. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I am mostly thinking of ways to get people back for stuff they did and I would except I forget about it. It’s not amnesia.\u00a0I just find something else that is more interesting. ‘ It’s time to check out a major waterway so I can get rich and marry a shipbuilder!’ ‘Maybe I’ll found a telecommunications empire!’<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
You know, stuff based on reality. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
‘I want to make money from North Australia! There’s\u00a0no water there but let’s go find out how to do it’. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Next thing you know it is Australian government policy.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
It’s very professional this sort of consulting. It’s like the Famous Five but there’s only two and one is a Labrador.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
So then I forget I’m too angry with myself for looking like an idiot that I forget who it was that I had mentally tied to a torture rack before dousing them with my credit card bills. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Usually the military.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
‘You patronise me I’m going to get you you think I don’t know how good you’ve\u00a0got it think that women can’t know strategy I’ve been reading your dumb reports and don’t think I don’t know..’ so on and so forth. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Incredibly productive feedback proffered with certain\u00a0alacrity and charm.\u00a0So accurate and up to the minute.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
‘Is that a plane?’<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
4.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I wonder if they\u2019re thinking about strata-ing the military compounds on those islands in the Sth China Sea.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2018I\u2019m going for recycled timber with natural light\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Thousands of lawyers and they can’t make their mind up. They’ll be trying to work out what clause means what and which country gets what, toiling night after night. Me, I’m I love the clothes and the free food but this work sucks. How do I build my first Digital Agency that will beam from space?\u00a0<\/em>I’m going to buy up all the optic fibre and I’ll be a gazillionaire but everyone will love me because deep down I will be a philanthropist. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
And I will dress well and say the right things.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
‘I am working on my organic garden patch. Busy with the kids.’ <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
My delicately dyed denim will flow in the wind like a Lauren ad, organic cotton scratching away at my buffed skin. ‘I’ve put a fund together and we’re investing in Africa.’ Our eyes will meet and years later, you’ll hear the pitter patter of a kale smoothie and an adopted child.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
‘Get off Buddy. He is not a toy!’<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
5.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Trying to understand old writers. \u00a0They take forever to say anything and in the end either the girl gets the man or the girl loses the man or the girl had a baby with a priest. I watch the movies first anyway and I think they\u2019re better. I think they are original. The Movie about Bathsheba Everdene was way better than the book because Gabriel was beautiful. In the book he sounds like a mute idiot who prays. Not really but he doesn’t seem that intelligent. I mean, he didn’t convey his natural intelligence. Not at first. Am I clarifying? Fortunately he doesn’t have to say much in the movie and in the movie you can see why she’d want the Shepherd in the end. I haven’t met that many stupid Shepherds. So he should have written it better at first.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
6.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I think I am going to watch the Pentagon movies online because well, then I don\u2019t have to hear about babies wailing and all that misfortune stuff. It\u2019s exhausting. Its sort of boring and they have it on a loop track thing.\u00a0That’s not really true but sort of true but you can’t say that.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
7.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I thought all the rich kids were helping the poor people I thought that was what Chelsea Clinton was doing so how come we always have to see them shuffling in a dirt patch with a voiceover that wants me to thank them for asking me to give them more money? How come the journalists don’t just solve it anyway?<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I\u00a0don’t get it. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I’d solve it. Just solve it. Then I’d be Prime Minister and it’d be easy. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I’d prefer to think the good things up then have to listen to the other stuff. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
So yeah, I guess I prefer to be naively optimistically energetic than malaisedly mired in the torpor of finessed nothing. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I don’t get it anyway. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
So I can’t.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
8.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I am from the UC (UnUnctuous Class). There is a moral every five seconds around here. I am allergic to morals. They upset me. I just don’t understand them. People shout them at you but I still don’t get them. I’m like, \u00a0what? Who said? And then I find seventeen different clauses via experiences I have had that distinctly and definitely contradict that moral. And the allegedly immoral person gets to be the winner sometimes. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
And no-one says anything. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
So explain that to me.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Yeah, life is sometimes just really unfair.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
But I think it then changes. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
And the unfair bit becomes fair so yeah.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
It all balances out.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
9.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Hunger upset me. Why did Steve McQueen have to go making that for? Kicked my guts in. Mad Irish bastards.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Oh yeah, the point. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
World Events. Well. Basically the story has A doing wrong to B and C suffers. So D decides to help B and C even though D knows A really well and effectively understands that A is helping B realise B\/C’s dreams but it is better to create C\u2019s suffering so we can all understand the importance of something and in the end all will be well and lines will change.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Neither A B C or D will tell you this. E might and will get his\/her arse kicked. Or be really famous. But not if they lie. Because then everyone will know and it will not be that interesting like those films that say it is a true story we know it is not a true story so it is not that interesting.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
But I like international relations anyway. I just don\u2019t watch many reports. Unless they are good. That\u2019s fair. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
There is a lot so who can see them all?\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
10.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I also like Joe Biden. I don\u2019t know why. Maybe because I fell off my bike in front of his security detail.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Yeah, that\u2019s probably why.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
