Since I am stuck here in Aussie Land, I find myself looking back to the US with longing. The TV here really sucks though this could be due to me being stuck with FOXTEL which near I can determine, picks all the canceled shows from the US and England, along with the Simpsons, and broadcasts it on all channels.
Much like the TV, the Sports and Politics make little sense here. I watched a rugby match the other day...not sure exactly which rules or league it was as Australia seems to have about a dozen professional leagues here. I firmly believe that I could manage a team to whatever the hell they call their championship just by training the players on the triple option (though of course, no forward pass so its "double" option I guess). The game seems to have no real game planning whatsoever. Bill Beli-jerk would eat them alive. And then give a shitty post match interview with the press.
I miss the US political scene as I like my politics like my ex-wives...batshit crazy. You don't have a political party here demanding that we punish rape victims while the other party claims they are for civil rights while the president wipes his ass with the Bill of Rights. Its so boring here...
God I am a hateful bastard. I think its cause my back is fucking killing me. Don't be born with spina bifida...even when they fix it, its a pain in the ass (or lower back I guess) to deal with. I always laugh when people claim they were going into the military but they had a trick knee or something that kept them out. You score high enough on the ASVAB and they will let anyone in. I lost track when I was in on the number of nukes who did time, were mentally fucked up, or where generally just plain weird like me.
I went to a Koala preserve today. Not surprisingly, their shit smells exactly like that tree they eat. Apparently it breaks down in their system and ferments, meaning that when they are awake, its like they are fucking drunk or stoned. Not that its very often they are awake due to the low nutritional value of the leaves. They apparently sleep 18 to 20 hours a day.
Sounds like fucking paradise to me.
Well seeing how it is 7pm on a Saturday night, and I was up at 4am for work this morning, I need to sleep. That is honestly one of the more irritating aspects of this current gig. My sleep schedule is so fucking messed up to local time that on my day off (Sunday), I can't really stay up and do anything as I cannot afford to take a few days to flip my sleep around. Plus, I can't really afford to get shitfaced at local haunts.
God I really want to just get the fuck out of here. I honestly would rather be in Mexico or India. It would at least be interesting for the increased dangers. The entire city of Brisbane feels like living in some white suburb. I like my cities like my beloved Baltimore. Lots of character and a bit of danger. I have yet to even see a homeless person here or an abandoned building. Its bizarre.
