i've just finished reading 'are men necessary' by muareen dowd, and it's not a bad book although i must say, it should be called 'are american men necessary' it's filled with american examples of mens behaviour. if i was the author i'd call it 'are people necessary' the answer would be a resounding NO.

Well the days have been sun drenched, warm, blue skies over the beaches, surf is getting better, caught a beautiful wave this morning, my mind still contemplating the church show, such elegance. i was filled with grace, my body shook with awe, transforming and transmigrating. i washed up for a cup o tea and lunch with a older beardered recently retired man who confessed his alcoholism to me, he's a lover of books to, and we often chat about our latest reads. It was nice to talk to someone about something substantial, we laughed at how in france when a philosopher dies there's millions of people on the streets weeping and there's a state funeral. Down in Australia, ya gotta be a footbal player for that to occur.

Well i got three days off to play in, no money but a head filled with dreams and ideas i gotta get crackin on.

I cought the front page of the manly daily our local newspaper and it was warning peoples not to swim in the ocean due to a massive layer of red algae covering the whole of the northern beaches, it was amazing, i did'nt see anything out there bu the photo was biblical. The seas have turned red. Maybe the enviromental concerns are the biggest threat after all....if it's gonna effect my surfing.
