Rant

The Education System.

Ok I do believe in the education system in Oz. I even like it, but it does have huge problems.

Probably the most worrying of these is the rate at which girls are betaing boys in the final exams. Now im pretty sure god made both genders of equal intelligence. So why the overwhelming success of girls compared to guys at school ?. This needs addressing to ensure the system is fair and needs addressing now.

This is but one of the problems, the other is for modern students often many know their career they endevour from an early age and feel wasted learning stuff they will never use. Not only that but these meaningless classes arnt teachign them to THINK which is why we have education but seem mere rote learning as thats easier for the underpaid teachers.

Change will cost money, lots of money, but im sure we can work out a way. Especially since we just cut billions from welfare and the pensions for the sick and elderly.

Ohh and heres an update too...

I bet your SHOCKED to be reading this update. I am too to be writing it , but i knew i must.

See i had intended to turn this page into a daily updated online journal, complete with intresitng and enjoyable things.. fun things... There was just one tiny problem.

Im lazy. Well not that i intended to be, but theres a lot going on in life and so its harder tro find the time or even remember you have a website to run. So my apologies to all.
So here it is an update, youd better enjoy it.

On the writing front .. well the lazy / time consuming problem has crept up too and thus i havent done a lot. My book however is in finished draft form and currently being read by 2 friends. Depending on their assesment i can then move forward with the editing. Time will tell, and right now there isnt a lot i can be doing, but hey should a miracle happen, maybe by xmas 2002 a fresh copy of Outside Eye could be appearing at your local book store.

Or maybe it will be first reviews of my new one, not too sure where this ones going, or which one ill do actualy, have a few ideas floating around, some more solid than others so we shall see.

In other news im just finishing up my first year at CIT. Filming class has been a ball along with my other subjects, ive met some great people and next semester should be more of the same i hope. Wow, thats a first, me looking forward to scolastic work... i must be ill or something :P

Finally ive been reading a lot of Hunter S Thompsons work, he is a brilliant outlaw journalist from the good old US of A. He is also the author of Fear and Loathing in America. I highly recommend this film to everyone. Though a word of caution, take an open mind esp in reguards to drug use when you see this film.

Ok i was going to write more esp about paying out this site i found (Democratic faschists.org = Read Christian Nazis)

But frankly i think the site speaks for itself. It truely is worrying that anyone can propose "bringing conclusion to the mob rule which has characterized our Government of late. It is our belief that, through more stringent voting regulations, power must be placed back into the hands of the Moral Elite" -

Now just one question if they propose removing democracy to a large extent why do they call themselves "Democratic Fashists" ? or is that like the Democratic Regime of Kampuchea.(Cambodia under communist Pol Pot)

Sites and views like this disgust me. All the more so because the main man behind it is none other than a reporter and talk show host for Fox News in the USA. A network which supposidly has "fair and unbiased" coverage.

I think thats enough of a update for now. I promise to update far more regurly, especially with movie reviews as i am trying to get a gig writing for BMA magazine.A canberra based youth music and stuff mag.

Anyway now as the holidays kick in, have a good break, i certinaly need one, and ill cya all soon.

Ohh and mp3's for the day - White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane, from the Fear and loathing soundtrack and a greta 70's song. Enjoy. Ohh and delete within 24 hours if you dont own the original - just a warning.

Ok for now...

I know what your all thinking, someone else has taken over the website because Andrew couldnt possibly have made a 3rd update in as many days. Well yes folks the unthinkable has happened and i have indeed updated regurly. I know your all as shocked as me, i blame society for this. Dont know why but it seems a good target to blame :).

The purpose of this update anyway is actually to launch the new counter. Hopefully it will not sit on 17 for the next 3 years, so come back and visit this page often. Free tomatoes for all who do!*
* tomatoes not guaranteed*

Had a large party over the weekend at my place, which i think im still waking up from. Was great fun, except for getting up and running around in just my boxer shorts to feed the cat and dog at 6am. (yes that time does exist,and not jsut as a good time to think about going to bed.)

Ive been looking into a proper web hotsing for this site, we shall have to see but very soon this site could become Drshrink.net (some latin psycologists have already nicked DrShrink.com - barstards :P).

Im also fixing this site up, removing the side bars from each page other than this one. They were far too much hassle to change each time. And if youd seen them on the front page you wouldnt bother reading them again on the other ones so no real point. I may look into a new design for the ronin page, and others, and probably take down the rlc one.

Comeing up next weekend ill be filming at the National Folk Festival which im looking forward to. Should be a lot of fun using the expensive cameras and really beign a part of a outside broadcast as professionally as possible. So ill report back on that next week when ive recovered (Ill be filming all 4 days from 2pm till 1am most nights - yikes!)

Cya campers.

Cool Stuff :

Here ill post a bit on something thats caught my attention :


This week a book/Movie

Fear and Loathing in America

Following a weekend experienced for real by Hunter S Thomspon and his samoen attourney. They drive aroudn Las vegas,doing a mix of uppers downers, amyls, ether,mescaline, grass, adrenelain, and any other drugs they can get their hands on. Meanwhile hunter as a journalist is supposed to be covering an Motor cycle race in the desert and a Anti Drug confrence.

Brilliant writing, and only a short book so youll fly through it. One of my faviourate novels from this brillaint wordsmith, by a man who by normal circumstances should be dead from all the drugs he does but hes still around today..

 

Here be Dragons, or a poll...

No wait its a Dragon -
