down days, empty days, non days as we slide into decline, you see it everywhere, i guess people are awakening to the truth, everything is fucked, everywhere, even sun drenched beach life in australia has got it's drawbacks, politically we are being governed by thugs mismanaged and democracy is stolen from under our feet. it's sad to watch a country with so much potential being flushed away. never mind, it all has the inevitable hand of fate pulling things away, a thin veil of curtain reveals the truth. europe crippled, america not far behind, china rules the world now, well it owns it, i guess all they really have to do to win any point is stop manufacturing anything. ha, that would teach the consumer west.
okay what's cooking down mission way, i have found my mojo, gotta get behind snuff music and push it out, gotta write some stories for my people who are getting demanding, gotta earn some cash to, that stuff is really in short supply as i cannibalise my environment to sustain myself. i spend my time in the ocean, i read three books which i will share with you.

the last four things was the sequel to 'left hand of god' and i have to say was nowhere near as engaging, for this was dense with factional warfare, over descriptive battle scenes and from my point of view needed another edit. i know it's the standard point for a middle book in a trilogy to generally be the weaker one but in here is a great story, it just felt cluttered and cumbersome, let's hope the last book pulls it all together.

brilliantly conceived and executed we are thrown into the mayan 2012 end of times calendars as the central character attempts to avert a major disaster. this is very authentic and researched well, it balances game theory, statistics and probability science, time travel and conciousness with the mayan culture and the protagonist jed has a great gonzo style of narration that makes the complex plot easier to grasp as we are privy to his inner mind. this again is the first part of a trilogy, and i must say i'm looking forwards to the next.

mark steyns companion piece to america alone is after america which looks at some of the other side of obamas america, it's really funny but also quite revealing and i think essential for people who embrace obama blindly. basically it shows how america has transformed from a nation of producers to a nation of borrowers and let's face it australia is following. his style will irritate people, it's designed to, his humour is offensive, it has to be, and his insights into what's really going down are pretty on the money. while i may not consider his side of politics any better than the other i do think people should remain critical equally of both and styen addresses the blinding left's myopic approach to control and power by bureaucracy and political correctness. 
either way, it's an important book and should be read despite the challenge one may face when encountering some of the antidotes he writes about. big government is the big bad wolf people, look out.


down on the beach i swim the ocean electric, cut through wild chop, turbulence, exhausting myself, falling out of the blue rooms, i head for the pool where it's slightly safer, do some laps, stretch a little, sit in the sun, feeling the saltwater dry over my skin suit, all is good, all is peace.
