.. So here i am trying to make the 2nd post of this year all not dodgy. And spellchecked right and all that shite, when i came across an interesting article about how Australian English isn't represented in Microsoft products properly. Words like 'Sheila' and 'Bloke', common words used by Australians meaning 'Woman' and 'Man'  receive spellcheck errors when performing such a task.
What about that? i hear you thinking. It doesn't mean much. But it does. The Australian English Vocabulary is close to extinction from factors such as mobile phone txt, dodgy email slash social network spelling and 'Kyle sander-nofans' type people. We use to say "Let go down the pub there, you cunts". Now its "I say, an ale would suffice rather adequately on this Friday noon at the clocktower". Then everyone gets down there and txt shit on there mobile phones, instead of getting drunk and talking shit.
Fuck, a common word featured around Australian streets and homes everywhere is now nowhere to be seen, as it is un-pc on the online world. You type the word fuck in this sentence "That bloke must of had a fucked day at work" and suddenly people think its a put-down term, full of rude hostility toward the man. Where in fact if you were to say that sentence in the real world, it is an expression of shared sorrow that the fellow has had a rough workday.
Wit has much to do with Australian colloquialism. Without clever phrases such as 'Where the bloody hell are you?', other countries would have nothing to complain about when watch advertising for this countries tourism needs. Lets keep our Australian language Australian and get some clever local to write a patch or fix for Office. So spellcheck recognizes words like arse. - scumpy

Current mood:  bored
 .. this computer is in use. Cause im in a fucking library. On a Saturday. That sounds like a good start to the first blog in 6 months. But its true. Sober, not high and typing in a fucking library. On a Saturday.
 
The fucking library in question is the national library of Australia in Canberra. The two people sitting opposite me are typing on the swine-flu ridden keyboards looking at me thinking ‘What are you doing in a fucking library on a Saturday, you sober cunt’.
 
Well the answer is simple. Miss Canberra’s daughter’s kid’s birthday party is on today in the house. So instead of sitting there watching little terrors wreck the place, I though I would vacate and take a drive around seeing the sights.
 
With fuel prices up around the $1.33 a litre mark on a weekend in Canberra, the drive was cut short to the city. Where, the inevitable happened. “Gosh, im so bored I might have to go to the fucking library and start this blog off again.” As you do.
 
So, here it is. The first blog post in 6 months, typed up in a fucking library.
 
Was this post everything you expected? Really? Well just wait a while when im drunk enough at home to actually write something half decent instead of sitting here at a fucking library sober, not high and bored. Fucking libraries.

.. Should be of some comfort in my thoughts this last day of the year of 2008. With one second added on. Tomorrow.

Ive been thrown out shortly from this place. Cant afford to keep staying here. The rock i had to keep sane is gone. Along with all respect.

So, if i don't get the chance in the new year to write to this thing, thanks for reading these last 241 posts over last couple of years.

Being drunk while typing and boredom was the reason for this. Maybe you learnt something. Maybe you thought it was all shite. I don't care.

It was something that made me feel good for a time. In this fucked expensive world, its getting more difficult to find fun from simple things. Its getting worse. And worse. Read.

Hope you all have a fun safe and hopefully prosperous 2009.

Goodnight from scumpy. - JP
