a week of hard work, one day left to go, before i can take some time out, it's been huge, so many dramas and events pass me by at work, really huge situations but nothing involving me and fortunately i end up looking very good but at the expense of about 5 other people. it's weird but the karma must have caught up with the idiots i have to work with, although my boss will undoubtably cover it up or find someone else to blame because this is australia in the year of our comrade 2026 where the useless rise to the top and get what they want while the innovators and hard workers driven by passion and intellect have to suffer the fools. ah, australia where did you go wrong, i think after hawke. that's when the rot set in. 

anyways what do i know, i just plod onwards hoping to pay my mortgage and bills on time, maybe the occasional book here and there and if i feel extravagant an ice cream every wednesday night after terrible beach drum circle. 

i was watching one of my fave people being interviewed by a moronic irishman who seemed to be reading from a list of questions, and unable to actually converse but johnny lydon was generously talking away and his honesty was incredible refreshing as was his bravery. he talks a lot about the mythology of mandela, which is very rare to hear due to the fact he is often promoted as a legend of humanity whereas the reality is pretty grim. he spoke about the bbc covering up for jimmy saville and what happened when he blew the lid. i love lydon, a really smart guy with working class roots, he's honest and funny, self depreciating yet well aware of his place in history as a 'sex pistol.'

as far as watching / listeneing goes, i do think this is very interesting.
