It's been a while since I've posted, I have been terribly busy. Due to certain circumstances I went to see My Chemical Romance at the Entertainment Centre on Friday Night. I'm not a big fan. They were good, but not great. In my humble opinion, the mix was not very good. However, the fans had a great time and the fire and lighting effects were fun..A couple of pictures below.









Thanks to Fiona for taking the pix

More on adventures in the restricted zone, lunch with the spooks, looking at the snipers, watching the chasers get arrested and yelling at the delegates tomorrow...

Thanks to Charlotte for taking the pics..

I went down to the Opera House bar for a drink with friends last night, and on the way I ran into a fence. Pictures Below.














There were a couple of bored police around, but we had no trouble taking these photos. (Thanks to Charlotte for taking the first two.)

Police have been visiting workplaces in Macquarie Street Sydney hoping to use their balconys for surveillance purposes. On Friday, police visited several businesses in Sydney's Macquarie Street asking if they could use their windows and balconys to take pictures of protesters. At one workplace the workers refused to allow it.

You gotta love him!










Captain Jack Sparrow is exactly the sort of person that John Howard doesn't want in this country. He doesn't have a steady job, he has that mincing walk, he speaks with a funny accent, he flouts authority, he has a beard- hence a terrorist, he doesn't have a mortgage or kids, he didn't go to a private school, he doesn't live on the North Shore of Sydney, and he has a sense of humour...I don't think he'd pass the new citizenship test either..Oh and he has funny hair!
John Howard would happily take the Black Pearl from Captain Jack!

We need more people like Captain Jack in our country...Wake up Australia, vote for more Jack Sparrows!

It amazes me but since John Howard became Prime Minister of this country, it seems that everybody is obsessed with economics and money at the expense of social justice.

A couple of days ago, for the first time in forever, I heard two people defending John Howard. The basis for their defence was economic management. There was no mention of children being put in detention centres, lies about children overboard, the theft of Aboriginal land, breaching the anti discrimination act, the corruption of the Westminster system, lying to people, parliament and the media, secret meetings with extremist religious sects, the censorship of books, the denial of legal rights to prisoners, bankrupting the universities, stifling of media dissent, demonistation of refugees and people from other cultures, defence of racist attitudes in the army, invasion of a sovereign nation, destruction of the rights of workers…none of this rated a mention, Good Ol’ Johnny was great because they were rich and white and nobody else mattered.

Remember the old saying that if somebody takes your picture you lose your soul? Well John Howard has taken a large picture of the Australian people and we have lost our souls, our hearts and our ever loving minds…

Perhaps the saddest part is, that the alternative Prime Minister and his party aren’t any better!

For those interested:

I have completely revamped the site and changed the layout, background, and everything else. It looks OK but not perfect. I think its getting close to how I want it.
I added about 300 entries to the database, an article about pantomime, and some pictures.

The good news is that for the rest of the year updates should be more frequent.

Enjoy
