BAH HUMBUG

Do you sometimes have that like urge to blog and then suddenly you want to blog about a million and one things and can't decide what to blog about so in the end you end up not blogging at all? I have that ALL the time. I need to come up with a word for that. HAHA.

Anyway i've decided to blog now cause i just encountered something that kinda disgusts me. Where i work there are Australian employees that come down for say maybe a few days at a time. When they are here, the way they are treated... Well lets just say i'm surprised they don't actually run out with shoe shine and a clothe to actually shine their shoes. Fine, maybe i'm exaggerating, but its not too far from that. They actually go out of their way to provide items for them that the other local lecturers do not get. They take in all their compliants and settle them ASAP.

Now, WHY do they have to do that? I mean, yes i understand that they have flown all the way down and will only be here for a short while blah blah blah, but whats up with the double standard? Are they any better than the local lecturers? Are they more qualified? Why should they recieve preferiential treatment? Is it because they are white? What difference does the skin colour make? They too are human beings, just like the rest of us, they aren't any more special than you and i. It totally IRRITATES me the way the staff treat them.

Sun rays come down as seen when they hit the ground,
Children spinning around till they fall down down down.
I wait for you: it's been two hours now,
You're still somewhere in town,
Your dinners getting cold.

PAIN IN THE *SS


Everyone has a plan. Its scary how right now i have no plan at all. I am not sure what to do, i have no clue what direction i am heading. Its like stuck in the middle of the ocean, with no island in sight, just the day changing to night and back to day. Just following the current, going with the flow with not much sense of what is really happening. Is this how it is supposed to be? Its like living in limbo. Then again, what should the plan be? What do i really want to do? Where should i start? How many opportunities will i get? Where am i headed? I want to plan, yet i have no idea what i am planning to plan. If i wanted to take the easy way out, i bet i could, but then if i do that, its rather weak.

ARGH

On another note, i realised i really enjoy watching my sister swim. She's really powerful and graceful and QUIET. I have to learn how to do the damn turn!

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are
