My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

It's been a hectic few weeks:

1. I've had my eye damn near poked out by some tall woman's breast who wasn't looking where she was going, and due to my good luck, neither was I - it was the highlight of the day.
2. I've finally done my tax.
3. I've started the hockey pavillion design I was meant to finish months ago - it's almost completed - almost.
4. For some reason or another i've been coming up with random workout programs for push/pull/legs and full body workouts that i never intend to use.
5. I've been contemplating going on holidays somewhere - either south or north or west - I could go east but that would be overseas...hmm now there's a thought.
6. Easter has snuck up on me overly quick this year - and I have no idea what my family even does for easter nor if I need to prepare for anything or do anything. Someone asked me this the other day and the only thing I could come up with that my family ever did for easter was eat so much chocolate we'd vomit it up and feel sick the next day - but we only ever did that when we lived together - since we don't live together anymore - I don't think we've ever really re-defined our easter.
7. America is planning to use nuclear weapons on Iran so Iran doesn't use nuclear weapons on Israel because apparently Iran using nuclear weapons makes them evil for some reason or another but America using nuclear weapons is in the interests of peace in the world.
8. Jessica Simpson has been sued by a clothing company because she was interviewed and said her favourite brand of jeans was some expensive pair of jeans rather than plugging her own JS clothing line - at least she was honest, stupidly honest...
9. I cannot for the life of me spell cholestoral right first time I type it
10. I bought a copy of Jillian's (The trainer from the biggest loser) book to give to someone as a present because it has some great pictures of exercises and correct form - suprisingly it's not such a bad book. I was expecting all hype and no content...those type of books usually have no content or usually have nothing but myths and folklore...but it's not too bad at all.
11. I've been sitting here all day swearing like buggery at my printer. I do not know who is worse - me for sitting here swearing at an inanimate object or my printer for not working knowing i'm here swearing at it and threatening to throw it through the window.
12. My ex and her husband sit in different rooms of the house playing online role playing games with another couple they know and call each other by the names in the game rather than their real names. Is this how couples interact these days? p.s I still love you.
13. My flat looks like a hurricane has been through it- i have "really important financial papers" every where - I just hope that the next time I need any of these things i will be able to find them. The next big task is tidying up this mess - I will put RIH to work when she next visits. p.s please?
14. I have almost gotten rid of all of my baby octopus. I was in the mood for some baby octopus the other night so bought a bag of it in bulk. I had baby octopus everynight that week and was trying to work out different ways to have it. Little did I know that there are almost no variations in recipes for them. Most of the recipes rely on some form of pepper/chilli/capsicum for flavour which always overpowers everything else that is in them.
15. I've been doing a lot of stair running lately - i think I will start to introduce some skipping into my routine again.
16. I bought ben harper's new album - it's not too bad - in moderation his music is good. The interview he did on the radio the other month on JJJ had me ready to punch the fucker out. The questions were not bad - the answers, if he actually gave one, were. He's such an arrogant fuck.
17. I've had crazy people ringing up to abuse me at work - again - I tell you the next person who complains to me about their place having stormwater in it when they build in a creek I will take to with a baseball bat. Note to self: purchase baseball bat.
18. My work colleague is bad at keeping people informed, english is not his first language, but that does not count as an excuse when he was six days late to inform people of the timing of the project. Due to this they closed an entire road two days early. I was ready to kill him. This is an issue because it costs 10-20K for everyday the road is closed. I spent an entire day fixing his problems he had created only to have him tell me the reason he had done nothing that day was that he was fixing his problems that he had created. We recently attended a seminar on bullying - I wonder if you would be charged under the occupational health and safety act for bullying if you murdered a workmate?
19. Mark Vaile, Australia's Vice PM, is to go before the Cole Enquiry into bribing the Iraqi government. I would presume nothing will become of it as when he says "I don't know anything" I for one believe him - his wife is known as the "Minister" afterall.
20. I ran into our local state MP the other day at McDonalds for breakfast. Everytime I run into him we sort of smile and nod with a "I know you from somewhere" look. I don't actually know if he remembers me or not the few times I've spoken to him. I didn't have the heart to tell him I kicked his arse on the rowing machine - he did have the record at one stage about a yr ago.
21. They have been charging sports stars here with failing to pay tax. Pat Rafter, former number 1 tennis player, came out and said he is not one of them. Damn straight he's not one of them - he moved all of his money and permanent residence to some offshore island years ago so he doesn't have to pay anything. If only all of the other stars moved overseas to dodge the australian government our tax dollars wouldn't be having to pay to track down these dodgy tax evaders. To think - if all of our sports stars move overseas to never have to pay tax the cops won't know what to do with themselves: rape; drink driving; assault; drunken disorderly charges will go down by 3/4!
22. My spelling and grammar in the above sucks - I know.
23. The latest single from Pearl Jam:

Worldwide Suicide

I felt the earth on Monday
It moved beneath my feet
In the form of a morning paper
Laid out for me to see
I saw his face in a color picture
I recognized the name
Could not stop staring at the
Face I'd never see again

It's a shame to awaken, world aflame
What does it mean when the war has taken over?
It's the same every day in a hell man-made
What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?

The whole world...
Will now burn...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide

The whole world...
Will now burn...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide

Medals on a wooden mantle
Next to a handsome face
That the president took for granted
Writing checks that others pay
And in all the madness
Thought becomes numb and naive
So much to talk about and
Nothing more to say

It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devil's on their shoulder
Laying claim to the take that soldiers save
Tell them to quit it, the truth's already out there

The whole world...
Will now burn...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide

The whole world...
Will now burn...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide

Looking in the eyes of the fallen
You got to know there is another, another, another, another, another...
Way

It's a shame to awaken, world aflame
What does it mean when the war has taken over?
It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devil's on their shoulder

The whole world...
Will now burn...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide

The whole world...
Will now burn...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide

The whole world...
Will now burn...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide

The whole world...
Will now burn...
Yeah, it's a world wide suicide

24. The end.
