Fuck you!!
Holy shit you won't believe this. So I concede I am pretty drunk and otherwise incapacitated - I've just got back from a 21st, and actually I'm getting up in 5 hours to go to another one (it's a long drive), but this is still needs to be written down.
So I made 2 bets tonight. One more significant than the other. The first bet was that Obama will win the US election. If he does, I get a case of beer. If he doesn't, I have to buy one (note that this includes if he is assassinated or pulls out of the race, you'll see the importance of noting this in a second). Pretty fair bet.
The other bet is that a UFO will land at the 2012 London Summer Olympics. If it does, I have to fuck a dog. If it doesn't, the guy I made the bet with has to fuck a dog. You can see that there is a bit more riding on this one. The guy who made the bet also thinks that the dinosaurs evolved into intelligent beings who live underground (as they have since the meteor and now control the world. He further thinks that Rockafellar (one of them? All of them?), The British Royal Family, and pretty much every leader in the world are also "reptilians," that something very "significant" is going to happen in the US on the 8th of this month and that George Bush is going to stand down and Al Gore is going to become the interim president (I'm not really sure why).
Basically I essentially exploited a retard so that he has to have sex with a dog.
Yeah, I have no morals, I'm an atheist.

Yeah I'm starting to fear that I'm turning into Ken Kesey. God I hang out with some crazy people. Yesterday this guy was trying to tell me that there are some people on an island in Africa who are born genderless because there isn't enough testosterone in the water, and don't develop genitals until puberty. Of course I told him he was absolutely correct.
Media release 23/09/08
Jeremy O'Wheel made it very clear that he is not, and has never been a fan of the Australian TV show Kath and Kim. An American remake of the show has been advertised as "the number 1 show in Australia."
"Jeremy finds it very embarrassing," said Jeremy's spokesperson, Jeremy O'Wheel. "He's worried that people may mistake cultural elitism and jokes about ignorance as Australian humour."
"There is much better Australian comedy and general TV shows than this. What about Shaun Micallef or The Chaser? How can they even claim that this show is the number 1 show in Australia. The only people who watched it were bogans and Jeremy's parents."

Yeah both quality shows. I thought Summer Heights High got really sad towards the end though - especially Jonah, just because there were guys a bit like that at my school, and now they're dead or in jail etc. and it's not so funny to laugh about.
Anyway my new camera arrived. So stoked!! Canon EOS 50D. I've been annoying my housemates with it for the last 3 hours
. Still haven't figured everything out, but expect millions of shit photos in the near future 
. I'm pretty much not going to play footbag, or do anything else with my life for the next month.
There will be lots of photos from the Melbourne Jam coming up though

So I know everybody likes to diss the kicking circle and discussion these days. There seems to be a failing to understand insignificance perhaps. Let's face it, none of the discussion in those topics is particularly meaningful - it's not like deciding whether Tupac is dead or not on an internet footbag forum is going to have an input into wider debates. That said, I always feel like getting into debates and discussions about any topic improves your verbal skills significantly for things like convincing people of a view or opinion. It's just like footbag, the most important thing to do is to practice.
So I should put it on the record that I'm still fairly drunk from last night and that I definitely regret what I did last night, although it is certainly something worth remembering. Also incidentally it was the Saudi national day yesterday. Who knew? I didn't until we bumped into about 10 Saudis all in national costume last night, which was pretty surreal.
It was my housemate's birthday last night, and I had a shit day at work and didn't finish until about 7pm. I didn't eat breakfast and hadn't had dinner at this time. On Wednesdays there's a place that does one of those "rock around the clock" beer nights - at 5pm jugs of beer are $5, at 6pm $6, 7pm $7 etc. So we went there first and I had a bit to drink. We then went to another place at 9pm that has $3 basic spirits until 12. I have an essay due in today, so my plan was to take it easy and then go home and finish that. With that in mind, I had my new $2600 camera with me, and took a lot of photos.
Somehow I crossed the drunkenness line and decided to see if I could go to an international breaks gig happening at a local club (plump DJs). I didn't have a ticket and it was sold out, but a friend thought he might be able to get one for me. As it turned out he couldn't, so instead I used my skills honed from modified debates and convinced the manager of the joint that I was there to take photos for a local magazine and got in for free. I then proceeded to take photos of everything, including wandering onto the stage and getting in the way of DJs etc.
Hobart is really, really small. There is a high chance I will get found out. I was drunk and just kept telling people my story whenever they asked. I am also lucky not to have broken my camera.
That said, it was one of the funniest and most fun nights of my life. My camera and the kicking circle have now returned a $50 ticket to a sold out gig, and this is just the start...
So the Melbourne Uni Footbag Society Jam (or whatever it's official title was) was awesome. Heaps of fun, great to play with Max B for the first time in years. Lynton Stephens also made an appearance, and although his game is really rusty compared to how it used to be, he can still hit moves like alpine witchdoctor with no troubles at all. Wow Ollie has grown a shitload as well. I took a bunch of photos that I'll post up at some stage, (probably not all of them, since it was around 1000 ) and I might give a bit of a write up, although that's unlikely. I did possibly set a record of becoming the first person to hit the same trick in their sick 3 as in their sick 1, although it was a major bail in sick 1. Sick 3 was beta blur>phoenix>pdx torque and sick 1 was beta blur . I was pretty unprepared, so I stuck with easy stuff for sick 3, but choked on sick 1 (I was aiming for beta fog, which I hit first attempt immediately after the comp - but I guess that's why preparation is so important).
What I really wanted to talk about in this post is a talk I just attended by the author and academic Clive Hamilton. I've read a number of his books and really enjoyed them, so I had to go along to this. I'm halfway through the book it was about - "The Freedom Paradox" and not a massive fan (it's philosophy and metaphysics so far, which is something I view as meaningless), but in his talk he also brought up a recent article he wrote for the Monthly magazine about denialism, and climate change which was very interesting. The moment that really stood out was when he was asked a question about what we can about climate change.
This is one of the highest qualified and most respected contemporary academics in Australia. He's somebody who has a very strong immersion in the science of climate change and politics. He's certainly not radical, but mainstream and very rational. He was speaking to an audience of largely middle aged middle to upper class people at a local book store. I hope you can understand the social context of his remark, because being there, it was such a sobering and conscious raising remark.
He said that if we don't take really serious and immediate action on climate change right now "we are fucked."

Here is something ridiculous!
This is a resolution my work is sponsoring at the World Conservation Congress that is going on at the moment.
http://portal.worldconservationcongress ... tralia.pdf
Good reading I'm sure.
A group of Aboriginals are about to get a lot of media attention in Australia and are strongly opposing the resolution, and indeed flying to the congress in Barcelona in response to the resolution because they were not at all consulted in the drafting of the resolution, even though it mentions Aboriginal Australians.
That sounds reasonable until you read the resolution. Here is the mention of them that they think they should have been consulted over;
Of course this group does not represent all Aboriginals, or even more than about 20 people, and their opposition to this is entirely political and Machiavellian, but at least from an informed position it makes them look ridiculous.

c. Develops a World Heritage nomination based both on natural and cultural values;

So I have some good news.
I've started playing touch football for the summer. I'm playing in 2 teams and indeed this week I have 4 nights of playing/training. Played 1 game so far and comfortably won.
Anyway yesterday I was just about to go to training, in a rush and having a piss when my phone rang. I debated answering it for a while, looked at the number and it was a QLD number (ie. the other end of Australia to where I live). So I answered it while still pissing and some girl starts talking to me about some kind of marketing company. I assumed she was a telemarketer and told her I was really busy, which was pretty true. As I finished up she told me that she wanted me to be in an ad for Subway. So that's what's happening. Pretty awesome. Dan Ednie and I, and 1 more person are going to be in it and it's going to be nationally televised for 3 months.
Also I am really really really hung over at work right now.

Yeah I thought that too. The script is so funny. I'll write some bits out;
*I wonder what kind of "hacky sack maneuver" they want us to do at this point.
Also I hope the other guys in the commercial are good at awesome one-handed spin-kicks because I'm a little rusty.

From the end;
edit2: From the "Director's treatment" - which is basically the directors vision for the ad.
Good one Dan I would also like to know how you flipper your ankle.
Three regular mid-20s guys (dressed in board shorts, t-shirts and caps) are in a beachside park, just about to finish their SIX INCH subs. One guy scrunches up his wrapper and kicks it with a little flourish of his foot to his mate standing next to him (using a hacky sack maneuver*). His mate quickly reacts to the arrival of the wrapper, and neatly flicks his foot behind his back ot kick the wrapper onwards. The kick goes a little further than expected, so the third mate only just manages to get to the wrapper, and launches it with a bit of a bicycle kick over his head. The first guy then climbs over a park bench in order to get to the wrapper, performing an awesome one-handed spin-kick while leveraging himself off the top of the bench.

So basically we play retarded kids who can't get things back out of a bin.Cut back to the wrapper kicked just out of someone's reach, and into a park bin. Everyone looks crestfallen until they realise they've still got wrappers and the game starts again.
edit2: From the "Director's treatment" - which is basically the directors vision for the ad.
He flippers his ankle and the wrapper lobs high out of frame in slow motion as all three guys are mesmerized by a beautiful young woman riding a bicycle through frame. The girl exits frame, the camera returns to normal speed as the wrapper re-enters the frame. Dan in a reflex reaction stabs his foot and catches it on inside of the sneaker. His mates laugh and the game continues.
