My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

A lot of things have changed in my life since my last post and I now see the world in a new and different light. I think I have grown for the better as a person. Actually nothing has changed, because my last post was less than a few minutes prior, but I had to start this post with something...

How cool was Mars Day in Sydney? Sure, I woke up at 5am choking to death, gingerly went to the toilet, washed my hands and my face. Dried them on my white towel. It was then I realised that it looked like there was blood dripping from me with the towel looking like I had just killed someone and was trying to soak up the blood serial killer style...(NB: why do serial killers always use white towels to get rid of blood in movies? surely to god they could use a red towel so no one notices...).

I looked out the window saw a fiery red sky and no buildings or skyline. It in all honesty looked like everything had disappeared and been replaced by a ring of hellish fire. I was expecting either zombies (the new-age fast moving kind) or to hear the hooves of the apocalypse circling as madness reigned. I was then expecting to wake up and it all be a dream; BUT 4 days later I'm still choking to fucking death on red dust, swept from the nuclear testing facilities in the Australian desert, that seems to blow right through closed windows....

If this is a sign of our deserted future - I'm joining an environmental group straight away to try and curb (and to improve my hipster cred) this earth-destroying we're hell-bent on achieving ! Preferably one of those groups who likes to protest naked and have group sex and all the other fun hippy stuff...

EDIT: as a side note; why in the hell do so many people in Sydney have face masks on hand at 6am? Is it just in case they need to wear them when commuting to work through a visibility of less than 10 metres? Clearly I never got the handbook of Sydney survival when I moved here.
