Reflections and the whatever
Very Gen Y of me to have that blog title. It’s almost like I don’t actually want you to read this because it’s probably full of nothing. Or maybe I’m lacking in confidence in what I write and I don’t want to sound like I’m too far up my own arse with arrogance.
So I haven’t updated in a while because frankly, I’ve been busy as hell and yet don’t know exactly what it is that’s been keeping me actually busy, but I have been thoroughly scanning the papers and there have been a couple of articles that I think I should share:
Let me start by saying that that I’ve had it with the ridiculous sub-standard attitude this has had over the gay community and this matter. It is in no way acceptable to treat a group of citizens as lower beings. General society (in Australia) frowns on racism and sexism amongst others so how this ridiculous debate has lasted so long baffles me.
If gay marriage actually gets past I care not for whether they decide or do not decide to get married in the same way I care not for anyone else who decides or doesn’t decide.
Lately, it’s been hard to tell with Gillard. I don’t have allegiance to a particular major political party, it’s just interesting that lately same-sex marriage, equal pay in the workplace has been discussed so heavily. Does she actually feel that way? Was the “Marriage is between a man and a woman” discussion years ago just a facade that she was keeping because that’s what she thought she needed to say? Is she just trying to come up with something since the properly abysmal attempt to try and negotiate a refugee trade between here and Indonesia fell through and they stood there, surprised, that it had been blasted by the courts and public alike?
Hell, I guess it’s only in a lead up to an election year or the election year itself when the party in power actually does anything for anyone.
Australia truly doesn’t brings anything to the table (most of the time)

I knew it. Even if that “it” wasn’t exactly “donations” and more “What is it, exactly, that makes my transferring of money into your account ‘safer’ than the insurance I already have on all of my cards?”
Turns out: Not a damn thing.
It’s like the time I was buying my mother an iPad (blerg) for her birthday and the guy at JB Hi-Fi tried to convince me to takeout Apple’s iPad insurance @ $120 for 2 years.
Wouldn’t my mother’s quite detailed contents insurance already cover said iPad? Maybe it’s in the same vein as insurance you can take out on your mobile.
But less convincing.
My third point is to be revealed in the upcoming edition of my website – DUE OUT 17TH OF DECEMBER – JUST IN TIME FOR YOU TO GET YOUR HATE ON IN TIME FOR NEW YEARS
