the currency of my life...

Hey all...

In an pre-emptive strike before Alice decides to grill me online, here is the update on the Mina Chronicles...

After getting into a verbal fight with a Macquarie Security Guard because he wouldn't let me into E7A to hand in an essay, I went in from E7B and walked across from the overpass...

Aside from this, I have been writing about Palaeontological issues such as ammonite scars, Cybersex, Pornography and Art from an Anthropological sense as well as Archaeological practise and history.

I have also come up with my yearly cycle of development based on the months.

Observe closely:

January: January can be quite irritating, as I tend to realise that I will have to forget how to write the year before in my dates, and write the current year in pretty fast before I cause administrative problems at work

February: This one is probably one of my favourite months; the weather cools off but there is still nice days of heat. It is the shortest month too, and as such goes by without me noticing.

March: Representing the beginning of the Uni semester, March bears a feeling which is synonymous with a dual edged sword- it allows for a new start in the academic year but also spells 8 months of doom.

April: April can often drag on at times, the day:night ratio begins to turn towards a longer night and it also coincides with

May: May marks the very end of Autumn and as such I begin to dread the eminent Winter. Not very Merry at all...

June: End of Financial year, tax returns and department store bargains- people are unbelievably strange during this month as they all turn into 'Christmas-in-June' followers with huge amounts spent.

July: Making my life quite difficult by this stage, Winter and July go hand in hand when they want to destroy every shred of warmth I may have amassed after 2 hours of being under 3 quilts.

August: Though you will see why I cant stand Decemeber, August is the month I despise most. The chill really becomes pathetic, just overall nasty and generally unwanted.

September: This month has generally been the one I seem to find alot of social functions occuring in. This may be due to the fact that it marks the beginning of Spring or the realisation that alot of people were conceived amongst Christmas cheer and as such are born in the 9th Month.

October: Bears a very special place in my heart because as I love the number eight- not for any particular religious or cultural reason but rather the number itself is quite pretty; too bad October is the 10th Month.

November: I personally hail from the month of November; born in the Northern Hemisphere however, this month can irritate me due to its excessive pollen levels in the Southern Hemisphere coinciding with Spring.

December: December is probably the one I can least stand; it has a pandemonium of expenditure and pathetic long weekend fines and demerit point sanctions placed in it. The weather becomes quite hot and it also reminds me of all the things I didnt do that year.

The true ontological argument

Philosophy at its greatest.... The true ontological argument!


"God is dead" Nietzsche- 1886

"Nietzsche is dead" God- 1900

For those who didn't notice...

There is a new poll added on Antifuck and so far me and Obscu are tied...

As for the rest of you, the reasons you have zeros are because you are slack! SLACK!

...and I will finally one day watch Alien (1979)! Yes, I know I am missing out! Please stop rubbing it in! :(

Also a random shout out to our fellow readers for being so awesome. This time a special dedication to Iasonas for singing Aladdin with me! All we need is a magic flying carpet and we're set!

Anyway dear readers, you guys rock! It should be the readers winning the poll.

Actually, let's make it no matter what the final scores are, if you're a reader you automatically win.

Feel antifucking special! ;)

Damn kids growing up so fast!

At some point during your life, you would have accused a younger person, as in the generation below, from growing up too fast.

This is no surprise since the average age for first-time-sex has dropped, eight year olds are using and owning mobile phones, ten year olds know how to access youtube and newgrounds, and there are now lingerie being designed to target pre-teens.

Back in my days...sex is a shush-shush topic, I didn't receive my first mobile phone until I was 16 (and didn't really use it until 18), it was only when I was 12/13 I figured out how to used a computer properly, and avoided lingerie and bras like a plague! (This is coming back to the sex is a shush-shush topic).

Kids these days are growing up too damn fast...

In reality, they're not growing up any faster, the 'growing pace' hasn't changed much at all. Believe it or not, I say their pace is no different to our growing pace and the generations before.

The speed of growth isn't changing, it's the culture and environment that is.

Back in my times mobile phones weren't as easily accessible as compared to now. You can get a new phone and a new number within a day compared to waiting for weeks.

Much like the mobile phone, computer and internet access is faster and easier (without the nasty beeeeep connection noises) and you don't necessarily need a computer get the internet. I am talking about library computers, and internet cafes for those who don't follow.

As for sex...from the influence of the Sexual Revolution, contraception and the fear of HIV and AIDS, information about sex has become more open and accessible compared to many years ago. The topic of sex has become less shush-shush (though to an extent it still is). People are more open in talking about it, sex education is taught in schools, information about sex (whether it's contraceptives or STDs) is more available, and condom vending machines can be found in bathrooms, or handed out like lollies during orientations.

Even though one can argue about the increase of teenage sex and pregnancy, but hasn't that trend been the same for every passing generation?

Children aren't growing up any faster, they are just living in a different world - a world which us, and our past generations, worked hard to create.

This post was inspired by the fact this is my birthday month...and I don't want to grow up!!!

A wise man never said anything remotely resembling...

-Cap'n, sir. The kitchen is on fire. Again.
-Aye, first mate. Duly noted.
-Arrr... I feel pretty.
-Also duly noted.

Disney and their lies....

well for those who are reading this and haven't watched a Disney movie in their life time i have one thing to say to you.... you have had a seriously deprived childhood.

Now for the rest of us who have... think back to the times when you watched the perfect relationship form through all doubts regardless and over coming all forms of obstacles.... i have one thing to say to you Disney.... you gave all of us false hope. I swear if i tried to ride a white horse to a girl i liked i think she would call the police.....

Disney has given us false hope in relationships.... where the hell is our happy ending? i guess it is somewhere between the heartbreak, drugs, false pregnancy and lies......

A good example of this is Pocahontas, you do know the real story is about a 14 year old girl leaving her culture behind to live with a 32 year old European guy.... Disney has lied to us, i want my childhood back and where the hell is neverland!

The plot thickens

I was eating a "Ned Kelly" today. It's one of those fake pies that contains gruel which may have a small percentage of animal protein. By accident. It's a fake pie, that' s the way they're meant to be. This particular specimen had "beef", "bacon" and "egg" in it.

I take a bite. What I see therein when I remove the pie from my face will both impress and insult me like never before.

Egg.

Yes, egg.

Yellow egg.

Real egg.

What the hell is real egg doing in my fake pie?!

The perfect lyric...

These lyrics are dedicated to all those who have loved and been left high and dry...


You are the road beneath my wings...
For I am the roadkill; the result of your love...


*sigh*...that is all...

Alea iacta est

And now for something totally in no way different to my usual feverish drivel.

Yesterday I had a discussion with someone on their action plan in case of zombie apocalypse. It was quite well thought out. We then discussed possible adaptations in case of velociraptor attack. Versatile tactics are always important when dealing with both zombies and velociraptors. Tomorrow I think we should discuss what we would do if faced by zombies and velociraptors simultaneously (and they didn't just try to eat each other instead of us).

SO! Readers! I charge you to share in comments your action plans for zombies and/or velociraptors, that we my pool our collective knowledge and form a viable battle strategy for the cominc apocalypse.

Due to the very many different types of zombies in current zombie culture, I will stipulate that these are your slow, shambling breed of zombie. Limited intelligence (that means that they can't operate tanks and helicopters, k?).

If I deem your posts worthy, I will contribute the action plan we formulated to the collective in a few days. I'll probably do it even if your posts suck because if you haven't got a functional zombie/velociraptor plan by now then you're totally boned without my input. Srsly. I'm doing you a favour. Remember me when your brains are NOT being consumed by the walking dead or the running extinct.
