Just Saying....The Environment

We humans think we're so clever. Top of the food chain, masters of our own destiny.

We're slowly kill our animals, our planet by clearing land and polluting our oceans. The earth is paying the price for our over population, paying the price for our greed and ignorance.

But when it comes down to it, it doesn't matter how advanced our technology is or how far we've come in our medical research, we're just mother nature's bitches because she will have the last laugh - we're just too stupid to realise that once we kill the environment, we're next....

Peter Harvey....Canberra - the loss of a legend

Australian journalist and broadcaster Peter Harvey passed away today after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.

He had been a reporter since before I was born and I can't remember a time when he wasn't on my TV. He informed many generations of people with his political reporting. Filling us in on the goings on in our nations capital and helping the everyday Australian understand the ever confusing beast - the politician.

He has kept me well informed and educated me, helped shape my view of many different topics with his distinctive deep baritone voice and his catchphrase ending of every report.

I never met the man but I will miss him.

Peter Harvey....Canberra.

Over and out.

I'll Never Be....

I'll never be good enough, but it doesn't mean I'll stop trying....

Sunday: the Plan v The Reality

Sunday
The Plan:
Wake up early.
Go for a walk.
Sort through all the photo's on my laptop.

The Reality:
Wake up at 10am.
Surf the internet while watching tennis on TV.

The F Word....

Well today I turn Forty. Yes, that's right, the big F word - 4 0.

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't spent some time wallowing in that fact. I've sulked at the realisation that I've done nothing remarkable with my life so far.

When I was younger I had such grand plans, a huge list of things I was going to achieve. So far, there's hardly anything crossed off it.

Now don't get me wrong, my life is great. Like everyone I've had my tough times, but overall I've been very lucky. But it's time to get my butt off the couch and start living life.

So I figure it's time to do a new list, all the things I want to do. From the small, trivial things to the huge, world look at me things. I'm going to write them down and do them, not just cruise along as life passes me by like I have been.

While to me turning 40 isn't a big deal, it's just another age marked off on the calendar, it has given me a little kick along. The motivation to start living life to the fullest.

So look out world, I'm coming to get you....

Sleep

I always have the best intentions of going to bed early, or at least at a half decent hour. But then something happens and it's midnight before I know it.

Basically, damn you books, movies, TV and the internet....
