Dear World, Antifuck readers, Alice and the strange smelling man who wants to buy my car...


by the way, I have been using Vitamin E on my hands since I was 15 Alice...wink wink nudge nudge...etc etc


Anywho, it has come to my attention that we are closely bordering the final days of holidays!!...

And let me say forthright, loud and clearly that I am severely excited to return to 'yoo-knee'. Not because of the extensive mongoloid tribes who call North Ryde and surrounding suburbs home, but more because of the fact that I'm so bored I could practically throw my left arm off.

To update you all on my epiphanies over the last month;


1...When most of your friends have a partner they either become boring, useless, pathetic or a mixed bag of the aforementioned undesirable features.

2...The Co-Op concept is flawed due to the fact that I can purchase all of the printed books for less than 50% of member price...like wtf charles...

3...Cheques take an extraordinarily long time to process. Is it just me or do government agencies relish drawing out very simple processes.

ie: one would assume if the number on the cheque matched the number on a withdrawn amount of money from the company which issued the document- then I could essentially draw out the cheque immediately...

4...Keeping in mind that this woman pays my salary; I still find it completely unnecessary for my employer to call me and make herself out the be the hero of a completely irrelative problem and as such making me out to be useless and senile. Stupid american- no ability for planning, minimises costs for the sake of preservation but isn't realising that this 'tight-ass' attitude reflects on the client and as such does not help at all.

If someone finds her in a drain somewhere around Yagoona station, the please call the police and don't bother to check for her pulse as she will have been dead for 72 hours...the very same amount of time it apparently takes to cash a cheque...

that is all...

ps: the lilies are growing well; thank you all for your concerted effort in not walking on the flower shoots...

A reflection on World Youth Day '08

Oh, Pope Benedict XVI! Waving to the crowd of pilgrims with a happy, holy, Sith Lord expression upon his face.

I'm sure I'm not the only geek who thought of that at some point during World Youth Day.

He's just so cute...

Dear Antifuck of July

I admit I am not setting a good example with an unfinished post. But at least the key points and body content are there, and I actually posted it as the deal goes.

Antifuck doesn't have rollovers. I don't care how long, how short, how misspelt and retarded your post it. That's the luxury of Antifuck, POST AWAY! without breaking defamation laws of course.

If you are unable to post due to problems etc, then just post saying "TBC", "On Vacation", "My fridge ran away" or something!

Please do your part and post.

Also, very rude of me for not introducing earlier - everyone meet Jade! Our most awesome female member of Antifuck! Rawwr! ;)

Global Warming.... should we care?

The threat to the environment from a range of human activites could end life as we know it.....

i know that we have all become desensitized to such remarks... maybe because the alarm bells have been sounding earlier than 1572 and we have just dulled the sounds into the background of our capitalistic life style.

Leading scientists warnings have been clear "the environment is suffering critical stress" in such areas as the atmosphere, the ocean, water resources, soil, forests, and all life forms. But hey, this process has been undertaken throughout human history that, over time, we have caused environmental disasters and unforeseen havoc to the world's ecosystem, aswell as being a threat to our own health and well-being. Some examples of such is that of Easter Island, how human tribal hunting extincted many large mammals and birds, in turn destroying the society that was founded upon Easter Island.

And this kind of damage has continued obviously to the present day, escalating in its effects. And through common sense one could even argue that humans are a plague upon the planet, however taking such a view one must possibly take the view of that the planet as being some sort of unchaging paradise, a perfect harmoniously balanced world, or that humas are somehow an unnatural addition to the world's living species.... which is obviously wrong.

Every life form, including humans, radicaly and mutually interact with the environment, creating as Rachel Carson once wrote "a fluid, ever-shifiting, constantly re-adjusting world".

Now being a spectic of global warming, one only has to take a historical approach to the worlds history to note that such events have occured in the past. One could say that history is hmm repeating itself?

Take the earliest example where mcroorganisims thrived in a world without oxygen, but to live meant producing oxygen - just as most plants do today. And like plants they pumped oxygen out, produing an environment richer in the gas and deadlier for them. If some of these organisms had not also developed the capacity to survive these risisng levels through genetic mutation, life on this planet would have died out then and there.

In other words we live on a constantly changing planet, a world where most of the species that have ever lived are now extinct, so are we going to create the sixth major global extinction ??

But hey capitalism and the market have a solution to such a problem, yes the magic of the market. It can turn water and other resource scarcity into a myth with the cling of a cash register. All you have to do is put a high enough proce on it and there will be plenty of water and resources to go around, well, atleast plent to go around to those who are able to pay for it.

So i leave this blog with a question that i am intersted in the responce, so comment away your answers.

Should we care about global warming when history has stated that such a looming doom has occured within the past ??

And if such changed are needed to prevent global warming, is it possible under capitalism?

There is such thing as Perfection.

You know the saying "nobody is perfect" and then follows on to there is "no such thing as perfect/perfection", etc...

Here on Antifuck, I am going to prove that wrong. Perfection does exist. It exist in ways you probably would have never considered.

When understanding the term perfect and perfection, we find ourselves connoting the definition with universality. Perfection is this complete and flawless state, ideal and concept that is widely agreed upon. However, we all understand that this is not true since everyone has their own notions of perfection. This then leads me to my point...

Perfection does not exist in the universal, but in the subjective. Proof of that is in our language - the cliché and everyday phrases we can find ourselves using, such as "you're in perfect health", "this is the perfect dress", "(this is) perfect!" or for the cheeky "I am perfect".

It is ourselves, our individuality, who define the state, ideal and concept of perfection and in turn create its existence.

Perfection is defined by our subjectivity. On the other hand, you can also say our subjectivity is defined by perfection.

"Practice makes perfect", "Achieving perfection", "I'm perfecting my skills", or "I'm searching for the perfect..." Proofs in our language of perfection defining our subjectivity.

We establish what we consider as the ideal outcome and strive toward it. This is why we have goals, objectives and ambitions.

INCOMPLETE POST! WILL FINISH...WHEN I CAN!

"Perfection is in the eye of the beholder", or as some others like to say it "Perfection is in the eye of the beer holder."
