I could never marry someone for their money...
I often here people criticizing others for marrying someone for the express purposes of garnering money. And the criticism inherently goes like so,"I could never marry someone for money, it's just Soooooooo wrong."
Perhaps they are right, but often I see the same people get married so that they can have sex due to their religious beliefs they must be married before rooting. No one ever says, "I could never marry just for sex"
Well I'm saying it now.
I could never marry someone just for sex.
It's just as much using someone as marrying for money.

Signs from God or you know
On every church you see signs, you know those big boards that either light up the night sky like a firework or light up my day as I drive past while the suns still up.
Don't churches realise that if the messiah ever comes back the wis men will never be able to find him for all the Star's of Bethlehem. There'd have to be a hell of a lot more than three wise men to have any hope.
And then of course there are the doomsday signs...come join everyone for the rapture before the world ends next year. These are printed on giant bill boards begging people to join there loved ones in the afterlife, are we lemmings or are we men? It makes me laugh that most of these doom sayers are heralding from groups such as Family Radio, what a misconception that one is, if you heed the sign your family will shortly be part of a suicide cult...woooh.

Why religion makes sense...
A man asked God for a motorbike, but knows God doesn't work that way. So he stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

Knock knock...who's there
I walked out of my room yesterday to see my housemate at the door shaking a mans hand and talking...
Who's that? I wondered... maybe it's someone from his family.
I hung out in the background, and then walked into the lounge room to to hear the gentleman at the door,
"I'd like to talk to you about spiritual things.."
Being a gentleman my housemate politely refused and sent the man on his way.
Since this moment I've been imagining ways to make this situation a whole lot more fun... does anyone have any ideas for the next hapless fellow to try the same dubious act of doorknocking.

Late and without eggs
Ok ok...so I know I am a bit late to have my Easter rant but I don't really care. The Easter bunny didn't come for me anyway, the bilby did though (thanks mum and dad for the dvd and chocolate).
Things that strike me about Easter:
1. Places that would normally be open are closed to respect the tradition of one group of people
2. Alcohol and red meat is removed from some menus for the same reason as above
3. People spend a lot more time in church than at any other time of the year
I went on holiday on the Easter friday for my friends 21st birthday celebrations, on thursday night I went out to have a beer and was astounded when the pub shimmied us out the doors as the clock struck 11.30pm it seemed as if they were almost fearful that if they did not have all of their patrons on the street by the time the clock struck midnight they would be struck down by God's almighty wrath...fat chance.
We then had to wait 3 hours for 2 of our friends who are catholic to leave church so that we could check in to the hotel...sorry but these guys are possibly not in any sense of the word moral...upstanding citizens as portrayed by the church's moral argument. They smoke, drink, fuck, get high, swear, use condoms...I mean really what could they possibly be doing spending the whole of Easter friday in church.
All in all though it is mightily nice to have a five day long weekend...if you don't need any alcohol or food =).

Almost A year
SO...
DO i start with the inevitable explanation of where I have been for the past almost year or do I take a more tactful aproach and simply pretend I never left the world of internet blogging? That is the question.
If I was an outlaw, a bushranger, a thief on the run from the law I would have been hiding out. No one would be able to find me, even less those pesky proselytisers that never fail to nock on your door at some ungodly hour on a Sunday morning, while you are inevitably on the lounge nursing a painful hangover and a small bottle of barocca (fizzigood).
Alas I am not a bushranger, outlaw or a thief...on the run. But for arguments sake lets pretend I was for the past year. Hell now I'm even reformed. Not reformed in a religious or a political sense but reformed in the sense that I am not partaking in any form of vagrancy that requires a hide out.
With this being my third coming I intend to update this blog at least weekly but I never truly make my intentions clear so it may be more frequently.
Man it feels good to be back!!!!! ...except for the hangover.
Thanks Shawn
