Corner of solitude

Highlight of the day: Being told I can have a week off work. At last after working through the summer shutdown my boss told everyone we can have some time off, for anyone who want to take their annual leave for next week, which includes Australia Day.

Last night a couple of Lauren’s mates came around to our place. I guess we were so bored that she started showing around some of our photos, which I didn’t mind. Photos are there to be shown around, but I got really embarrassed when we stumbled upon some of my photos of when I was a kid of preschool age.

It was photos of my birthdays, of me walking, sleeping, in the pool or baths, or generally playing with other kids. All of the photos contained me, but there was one other kid who was also in most of them.

Jennifer Santos lived down the street from us. Our parents were real chums back then and both our families used to do things together. We were both an only child, so I guess it worked great for our parents as we could become playmates. Seeing those photos of when we were kids was really nostalgic. I have very fond if now vague memories of those times together. Unfortunately those good times ended, her family moved just before we started kindergarten. I don’t know whether our parents kept in touch or not, but I moved on and never bothered finding out about her.

A dude at work was talking about reincarnation and the subject came up, what type of person would we want to come back as if we were reborn. And without thinking I burst out of my mouth “a lesbian!” Ok, so two hot lesbians as most blokes would tell you is the ultimate fantasy, provided we could join of course, it wouldn’t be fun otherwise.

All week the only thing I hear about is cricket. So for this week’s Fag of the week I have three nominations. And they’re all cricket related.

The first nominee goes to the Indian cricket team and cricket board. They had the nerve to hold the game of cricket to ransom by threatening to boycott the rest of their Australian tour, just because Singh was found guilty of racism and wasn’t man enough to cough it on the chin by serving the three test match suspension.

The second nominee are the Australian cricket team. For the main reason of being a bunch of pissweak numnuts. Just because you’re called a monkey doesn’t mean you’re being racially discriminated against. Like I said in an earlier post this week, if you’re being sledged against you’ve got to give your tormentor their own back, instead of being spineless and taking it out off the field for something as trivial as being called a monkey. I also can’t stand how Ricky Ponting handled the situation, as the captain he’s a bigger “FAG” than Symonds, Bill and Ted would agree with me. And what the fuck was he doing last week making umpiring decisions during the test, you’re not a fucking Umpire dude so leave the decisions to the umpires.

The third nomination and the most deserving of this week’s Fag of the week title is the media. All I heard the past week was cricket fiasco this and cricket fiasco that, I say enough already. Stop trying to build up something that’s obviously not that big of a deal. It should have stopped when the ICC handed down the three test match suspension to Singh, and so what if they’re appealing the sentence? I say good on the Indians for sticking up for their mate. And stop trying to make out that the Australian team is the villain of the whole thing because of their take no prisoners playing style. They’re winning their games, it’s also not arrogance if they want to have a bit of fun with their celebration. So for the media’s insolence they are the Fags of the week.
