The Holy Trinity of Uselessness.

Grand Angus meat is exactly the same as the groddy shit on the Quarter Pounder.
So gross.
Australian 'justice' system: FUCK YOU
This month there’s been a furore over a 12 year old Aboriginal boy being detained in custody for receiving stolen goods.
The good in question? A 70 cent chocolate.
The boy missed his initial court date due to a family misunderstanding. The West Australian police responded by placing the CHILD in custody for 6 hours.
Naturally the case came to the attention of the media and a public outcry questioning whether or not the prosecution was racially motivated. The charges have since been dropped, however the boy has now been ordered to pay the $1000 court costs.
I have absolutely no faith in the Australian legal system or government. What a fucking joke.
Strange dream
I dreamt I got breast implants against my will and absolutely hated them. Like someone snuck up on me and drugged me and I woke up with massive breasts. Then I was desperate to get them removed ‘cause they were all weird and fake boobs creep me out.

I’M SORRY, BUT YOUR BREAKFAST IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE!
I'm finding it very hard to make new friends at the tender age of 29.
And I don’t mean people to go out and get drunk with, I mean real friends. Ones that you actually care about and respect and have fun with.
I feel that way at the age of 20.
I have noticed a decline of reality programs on Australian television and an increase on countdown shows.
Way to iShit all over an Australian institution
We are not happy little vegemites and the name for Kraft’s new product is not bright as bright can be.
Honest to blog, there is a new Kraft product called iSnack 2.0.
Seriously. As the author points out, the new name utilises the iSomething and 2.0 phenomena.. two things completely irrelevant to a food product.
What person at Kraft green-lighted this I do not know, but surely it must be changed. Not only because it’s completely ridiculous but because it’s inherently unAustralian. Our society does not have an appreciation for memes or web jokes in popular culture and while Kraft is a multi-national corporation, surely someone would have said, “Australians will not like this!!”
I have eaten Vegemite from before I can even remember. It is so ingrained in my experience of growing up that I can’t see kids in 20 years time saying, “Yes! I love iSnack 2.0!” Because at the rate the web and new media is developing we’re gonna be way past version 2.0 by then.
Verdict: Stupid. My entry: Cheesy-mite. (Which although is a product offered byker’s Delight and Brumbys bakeries, it is obviously cheese + vegemite.)
Surely my anger on this topic expresses how important this is to people!!!
Why I Love Fasting
So, I’m fasting tonight and tomorrow, ostensibly due to the holiday, though I’m not that observant and my pre-fast meal was decidedly non-kosher.
But I really like to fast, and this is a good excuse to do it. If nothing else, others are doing it as well, so that’s cool.
The reason I like to fast, though, is that I think it’s healty. Not because it’s “cleansing,” which is what the hippies think, but because fasting is a good way of replicating pre-modern eating patterns.
Prior to the invention of agriculture, we’d have had a lot more variety in eating intervals. It’s a joke to think that cavemen ate 3-squares, so to speak. Sometimes they’d have a huge feast (after a kill) and then other times they’d totally go for a long time without eating.
The key is that there’d be no consistent rhythm — an idea which is anathema to our highly scheduled lives of regular eating intervals, defined work times, and other rituals (like going to the gym MWF).
Randomness is the only real rhythm of life. Even a healthy heartbeat is more like a jazz drummer than a metronome. Get cool to it.
I’m an awful, awful Jew. I knew Yom Kippur was this weekend, I just had no idea when exactly. I try to fast every year - and I think considering the amount I ate at Virgils today, I’ll try it again for the next 24 hours. Wish me luck.
WHY I LOVE NOT HAVING AN ISSUE WITH FOOD:
- i get to eat what i want when i want
- i don’t have to spend time writing about it on the internets
- i am normal
