The Mad Scorpion

ALRIGHT!!!

.

I just can't help myself. I've been working on other things, but a couple of things have made me MAD lately. I cannot help but think... It's VENTING TIME.

.

You can certainly tell National is in Government.

Welfare crackdown? Check.

Selling off national industries to overseas bidders? Check.

Sucking the land dry of any resources slash money it can get? Check.

Giving anyone who earns over $80K a year a 40% tax cut? Check.

Making the divide between the rich and poor a fuckload bigger and harder to bridge? Check.

Stuffing their fat, ugly faces while they fly themselves, friends and family around the world on taxpayers money despite the fact they already earn squillions? Check.

I have some advice for those in Parliament - when we can't see your Neck anymore, you AREN'T WORKING HARD ENOUGH, and you're also a Glutton.

Stop indulging yourself and abusing your power, get off your Fat Fucking Arses and WORK FOR THE COUNTRY, not FOR YOU!

Fuckin indulgent irresponsble elitist CUNTS, that's all you are.

I have recently been denied a renewal of my invalids benefit. Which wouldn't bother except for the following number of reasons:

1. My income is now down $120 a week.
2. Instead of only going to the doctors for to get him to fill out work and income paperwork only Once a year, I now have to go in four times a year. So now, not only am I down $6240 a year, my bills are also automatically Up an extra$140 a year.
3. My outgoings now outweigh my incomings. Any normal persons response to a financial dip would be to work more. This is no longer an option for me as my body is rapidly becoming less and less able to things. I can feel the vast difference in my physical ability and my pain threshold from even only one year ago. I'm now sore ALL THE TIME, and I have bad days and worse days, with some ok moments. I am CONSTANTLY fighting with pain, and it is exhausting.
4. My doctor is an idiot, and when I went to clarify with him exactly why he felt I needed to see him three more times a year than neccessary, I was told he was away on holiday for a few weeks. Nice for some. Thanks to me, I'll now be able to contribute $110 MORE to His holidays, and throw any dreams of a holiday of mine out the window. I made an appointment with a new doctor who I'd heard was a bit more understanding than my current one. I went to that appointment only to find that he was away also. I rescheduled my appointment again. Thankfully, my new doctor was able to comprehend my position and gladly recommended to winz that, yes, my condition IS permanent, seeing as, you know, I've had a fucked spine since BIRTH, that Yes, it more than likely will last for more than two years seeing as it has lasted 32 thus far, and that No, it wasn't likely to get better nor can it be fixed.

I have this battle with Winz every so often, so this time I - with ALOT of gusto, prep work, and a goal - was going to get this matter resolved come hell or highwater because if this is a fight I'm going to have to go into every year or so for the rest of my life, I want them to remember me as a fighter. I have finally realised that it all comes down to a doctors opinion, and that no-one ever asks You how You are. This time I'm going into the ring yelling and screaming, so that in the future, I won't have to explain myself again. For the thousandth time.

.

I don't know why people are acting surprised by the actions of this government. This is National after all, and they are doing what they were always going to do and what they've always done - look after the rich and fuck the poor, rape the land and sell off its assets.

And I don't know why they seem to be getting away with it, or why the media isn't taking a negative spin on them or making more of a big deal of things. Up until recently, National have been paving the way right up to this point fairly under the radar as far as public response went.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on, National. I'm not totally against all of your actions - I just think you aren't necessarily concerned with any of their consequences as long as they line your pockets.

LADY GAGA:

I've sung praise before, I'll sing it again - what a cool bitch.

.

THE NEW MELROSE PLACE:

Not quite as good as the old, but still just as intriguing and twisted. I'm liking it.

.

LOST:

I'm NOT liking it. I am, in fact, finding this the worst season ever, which pertubes me quite a bit as this is the last one, and I LOVE this show. There seems to be a lot of wishy washy nothing much going on, altho fast music and running accompany this nothing to make it seem as if it's something. I am not amused. It better get better and pay out on my six years of addiction.

Having said that, Lost just isn't the same without my Lost watching buddy. Siiiiiiiiiiiigh.

ALPHA MALE SYNDROME:

.

You get this alot around these parts. In fact, because most males here ARE alpha males, most if not all the little boys end up striving to and becoming alpha males also. This means that when you get males drunk and together, it really is a primitive display of who can yell over each the loudest and not actually listen to a word of what anyone else is saying, who can lift what how many times... it's basically a battle of Who Has The Biggest Mouth, Ego and Arms.

I've been seeing a lot of AMS lately, and it is fuckin UGLY. Right from a young age I can remember looking up at the men around me and thinking "...Ugh. I don't ever want to turn out like that."

I just think it's animal. I think human beings have evolved slightly more than apes, so it's depressing to see people actually wanting, AIMING to become Biggest Ape In The Bunch.

Ugh. Get out in the world, and get a clue. Being a real man has nothing to do with the size of your biceps... Though it will help you get laid.

Out.
