Vintage Comments

Okay, so whoever is still reading my blog, every so often i am going to be highlighting a comment from yesteryear, times of olds and what not: so for the first vintage comment let me post one by lachy in response to my diatribe on the english faculty at uni of newcastle:

You can't hold onto anything

so as i reminice and spell incorrectly, i realize that certain notions that we had while younger are completely encapsulated in a moment of time, yet we hold onto them as though we can't exist without such youthful visions o fthe world. It is like holding onto something, which we believe to be true but in the greater existence of the world it is only a fleeting memory. I guess what i'm trying to say is that we have all these dreams and hopes and what not, but they are so fleeting, and that any moment in our lives that we think 'wow this is cool, this is what lifes about,' is also fleeting, it's like everything is fleeting and moving so fast that pretty soon we will be dead.

i always thought my early twenties would go on forever, i used to think that time moved very slowly, but as i age not only do i realize that no values are important because it all ends so quick but so is time itself. It moves so darn quick that it's hard to work out who we are as a person. so if we like something one day, then who is to say it is important the next day, because it's like some sort of endless maturing process keeps changing our own value system.

But then it also seems like some people don't change, like in my work where i see old fogeys who have had the same ideals for the past thirty years, and seem to be happy without any growth and happy to cash each week's pay cheque. So how do they fit into my system of thinking. well i have absolutely no freaking idea, because it seems as though only a few people are enlightened and the rest are mindless drones, happy to take their boat out each saturday, and i;m thinking why the hell are they so happy by simply working all week and taking their boat out each saturday, why aren't they thinking why am i even here!!!!

so even if you catch a beautiful sunrise and have breakfast on your patio and watch the sun rise, it is such a fleeting moment, that you can't get upset when its gone, or think if that was such a beautiful moment in life why the hell doesn't it last, why can't the rest of my life be bathed in such beauty . well i have no idea, perhaps its the old ying and yang, like you can't know happiness without knowing sadness or what not, i don't know. i just know that even a beautiful moment moves by us too quickly...

the relic blogger

well i write this two hours into being 26, and perhaps i will reminisce like a good ol' blogger, that's how we did it back in the day of naught six. Now three years later it's all about twittering about mowing the lawn and eating a jam sandwich, where have the long rambling blogs of incoherent diatribes gone? Where have the hacked at grammar jobs gone, at least i treid to be grammatically correct and attempt to insert commas, apostrophes and what not in their right place.

Now days you don't even need to use capital letters. Just check out the credits for gossip girl. It's the hippies who are to blame. BY not teaching the generations form the late sixties on about proper grammar and then exposing those same grammar insufficient people to technology they have created a butchering of the english language.

All they did was teach you about feelings, in other words they thought that they could teach us themes of stories and what they were about and different concepts, we all remember doing whole terms on one word like context or somethign or other. Anyway, they thought that by this wish washy analysis we would learn the hard rules of language by osmosis. It failed big time and at the worst possible time, where technology needed good language structure. I remember my mum telling me that at the height of the lunacy they were teaching my sister to do maths by using coloured rods, which set her back years.

At least there is light at the end of the tunnel , in that things seem to be going back to a more rigorous understanding of language. I wish sorely that i had many more classes about syntax.

Anyway morris is alive! I have emailed you morris, i replied to the last email you sent, are you still checking that email. I swear you aren't in england, i swear i saw you in a white van a few weeks ago.

Ok bloggers, if you are still reading you are fans of old, no less than 140 character twittering or whatever.

3 cheers to the birthday boy.

hip hip hooray.

I have the best present of all time in the goreous wife waiting for me in bed.

Seacrest out.

Quote of the day

'In the province he had an affair with a lady who made advances to the young lawyer, and there was also a milliner, and after-supper visits to a certain outlying street of doubtful reputation.... It was all done with clean hands, in clean linen, with French phrases, and above all among people of the best society and consequently with the approval of rank.'
-The Death Of IVan Ilych , Leo Tolstoy

Good Quote

I remembered a great quote about how easy it is to criticise others, but could not put my finger on it, until now reading the costello memoirs, he quotes roosevelt's famous utterance. I wish we had costello now in this financial crisis, not a bunch of cash feeding cows with no idea about running an economy.

Anyway this is the quote:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

what;s the good word

i'm going to add some content here shortly, a new post or two.

also i will put up a link for a youtube video competition i'm entering so i need lots of votes.

ok

merry christmas

merry christmas everyone. i have been getting very festive and boiling up some eggnog adding some rum and some nutmeg and hey presto a delicious northern hemisphere drink. i was thinking lately that when i'm older i will be able to read back through the last couple of years worth of blogs and laugh and reminisce. I can't believe how quickly 2 and a half years have gone. At least some of the craziness and wondering of my youthful mid-twenties has been somewhat documented. And it's interesting to also see how quickly ones life direction can change, incredible things can happen that were never expected. That's why its best never to have too many plans, be free and float with the leaves, ah, this is soudning a bit soft, anyway, merry christmas y'all.

Fireblade

The Honda Fireblade is my new motrbike of choice. I have been waiting for a mtorbike with ECU entering the domestic market. It has been passed down through motoGP technologies, and has now reached the consumer. And it will ultimately end up on everyones bike, but most riders are against the idea, like most idiots who are against new technology. Traction control and anti-spin rear wheel technologies will make riding so much safer!! And also with the fireblad it actually looks better than the new R1, which didn't go with the motogp inspired under exhaust pipe and went for the twin rear, giving it a fat rear end. So a 2009 black fireblade not R1 is my bike of choice now. A year ago it would be the R1 , but with the new ECU and the slicker design than the NEW R1 the fireblade is the bike! The fireblade just this past year was voted australian motorcylce news superbike of the year.

Now i also have to add that Prime Minister Rudd is a dud, and if any of you reading this are labour party you're a goddam idiot,

peace out everyone, Turnbull is the man, i love my wife she is awesome and i'm not going to get into personal details but i'm more happy then i ever have been in my life with her...

peace out everyone
