WHY?

Good Letter in dompost this a.m.
Why all Santa and no nativity in the media.
has the whole world turned into a consuming amching with absolutely no cognisance of where we came from?

Good column by Karl on the finger pointers at Otago University.
The Botany department is a bit slack too.
Big story about the  new app for recognising native plants.
cool
groovy
wow
fun
crap!
why isn't the Botany Department at Otago University doing some finger pointing at the mornons who go around spraying weedkiller on everything in the land.
why dont the finger pointers in the ehalth department put two and two together and get people to bend over an d pul out a weed instead of overlaying this patina of poison on the country.

Got a hardback largeprint copy of Jack  by Jack Welch.
nothing like it in NZ
here they all talk the talk but nobody walks the walk.
there are no real businesses here.
just paternalistic peculiums run for the psycological satisfaction of the proprietor
yep.
they dont employ A's either.
instead they complicate and confuse and employ C's just in case somebody gets a bright idea about anything!
anyway:
going to colorado Baby.
sorry but I cant ake you!
hee hee

whats it all about...

New year about to begin.
Nothing much to report except rain and more rain.
A wet summer by the looks.
Boris Vallejo keeps getting the hits!
He is pretty good.
hee hee
lots of telly and poring throught the dvd and vhs collection to fill in the time.
And reading Hamblin on Fallacies.
keeps the brain ticking over.
Wonder when al Jazeera is going to do anything about the Christians in Syria and Egypt?
or dont they count?

Joy to the world...

big hits on the blog today.
not enough for an advertising deal and who knows where they really come from?
some server in noonoostan?
teehee.
it steers me into reading stuff I wrote soem time ago.
a bit cringeworthy but on it all the same.
I dont resile from any of it.
Xmas was ok yesterday.
community dinner.
lots of meat and vegies.
over the top pudding.
Funny little jokes in the Xmas crackers.
Why didnt the skeleton go to the ball?
He had no body to go with!
The Ponatahi Christian School put on a cool selection of traditonal Christmas Carols with two trumpets, a flute and a nice piano player with too much time!
and a solo performance by one of the young ladies from the upermarket that was totally unexpected but excellent.
Thank you Christians.
Thnaks to Steve and Kate who donated most of the food.
then the Royal Variety performance, an 'ace' episode of Graham Norton and another funny pommie comedy thingy "Truth or Lies"bit of fluff really but some funny off the cuff gags.
Jimmy Carr, "I thought you were younger. I was!"

Get home and listen to the one dayer and check out al Jazeera for their take on Christmas or is it just bizness as usual?

Barack Obama.

merry xmas to you...

Ronnie Hays of the Weavers

and you tooooooooo...

later
and back from town
Masterton full of people looking for prezzies and doing their thing.
Hope it doesn't rain tomorrow.
Radio New Zealand had to get a psychologist in this morning to tell us all that if it rains then we must stay indoors and think about why we have Christmas in the first place.
Thats was nice of them.
Why haven't they been telling us all that already?
Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ who was the only son of God who came to earth to redeem us from our sins.
The thing is the nitties at Radio New Zealand think they know everything already so the truth of the matter doesn't count when it gets in the way of them telling everyone esle how wonderful they are.
does it.
I think some of them need some superstrength lithium beofre they come back after the break.
tee hee.

When the Earth Moves Again...

Got the Woodstock Anniversary edition from the Redshed last week.
Only $10!!!!!!!!!!
Watched it over the weekend.
Too much.
The only words to describe it are ones like joie de vivre and brio.
So good to watch The Who and the Grateful Dead in their prime.
Full of energy and incredible rhythm sections.
I usually think of Jerry Garcia when I think of the Dead but what a band.
Its easy to see why they were such a huge live attraction.
The whole thing was just magnificent.
A one off.
Many tried to repeat it but it was never matched anywhere.
hehehe

Scored a big collection of the Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft last week.
A weekly magazine.
The interesting thing is the stupidity of the politicians during WW11 and directly afterwards.
Because one didn't like Bristol Radials the Hawker Typhoon was virtually kneecapped.
The Americans were the same but their idiocy was in trying to concoct wonk projects.
Wonk wonk.

so there ya go mate.

Barack Obama
Enjoy your holiday boss.
Get refreshed and get ready to give the Washington press corps a serve.
None of them are interested in  your  legislative programme.
They are like the dweebs back here in lil ole Noo Zillun.
Kids who have never done anything except got to J-school and then formed the ambition to knock you off so they can put it in their CV's or skite reeels.
Get your staff on to it and start knocking them round.
They will all cave in.
Take my word for it.
They all weak as piss.

the Russians were just as bad.
They went in for gigantism.
doh!

Jesus loves you...

and he will redeem your sin.
Great to see Prince Charles as defender of the faith getting off his chuff and doing something about it.
The Christian world is sorely lacking in spirituality and the Cof E has turned into a cliqueish exclusive social club. The west needs spirituality but all it gets is  more teevee! 

Not that its al lbad but for the most part it is just endless drivel propped up with babes n' boobs and making others look like idiots.
Is that what civilisation has come too?
No wonder other faiths can point the finger and hold us up to ridicule.

The Bravest of the Brave...

The World Can Never Thank You Enough!

My Christmas present arrived early this year.
200 copies of an EEnglish publication of the History Of Aircraft.
Part of a weekly encyclopedia that the British used to specialise in.
all gone now of course.
its all hobbits and sheilas biting each other or zombies. (the new poor).
Waste them. Take em out.
The war is long gone.
Its only when you read this stuff that you realise how much effort went into protecting the free world and democracy from the monolith of the single party state.
All that gear.
All those guns.
And they were necessary to preserve our freedoms and for that matter they still are.
Nowadays its not so much a comprehensive ideology bu the actions of irrational people with access to all the spare hardware floating round.
I'm gonna get me a gun.
all those people who put me down.
Better get ready to run.
hmmmmmmm.
Saw an old friend Erin up at the hospital yesterday.
He always used to sing How Great Thou Art at the Friendly Country Music Club and now he needs a ppermanent catheter.
Bugger.
That's whats happen as you age.
Everyone gets sick.
Bugger.
Went to an oldies service this a.m.
We sang carols and had a nice lunch.
Jesus saves.
I don't believe all the crap about chrisitianity going down the gurgler.
without the love of Jesus we would all be peasants at the whim of our masters with no body of law and justice or any concept of love for our brothers.
Time for the Church to start telling the old old story.
WE don't need revivals but a sober analysis of what Christianity has done and what tit means without the window dressing.
That's for Church.
The bishop[s have to get off their bums and start preaching the word.
Okay?
Barack Obama
See your ratings going down in Iowa.
Get on the Train and start talking to people boss.
Get out of Washington and let the geekwonks stew in their own juice for a change.
Get some fresh air dude.
Matt Miller of the Washington Post imploring us to watch out for Artificial Intelligence (AI)
its gonna get us.
watch out...

And Hey.
dont forget JUST SHOOT ME on TV4 every night at 7pm.
the funniest wittiest hippest show on Teevee.
The best 1/2 hour sitcom ever made!!!!!!!!
Nearly pissed myself last night!!!!!!


used up al lmy piccies so you will have to wait.

wah wah wah...

cry baby cry.
Auckland NZ's largest newspaper is bleating about th emayor who had an affair.
Wow.
Is that all.
No smoking crack or selfies of his memeber or malfeasance.
Just a few quickies on the side and the world is going to end.
I dont think so.
Their chosen candidate got rubbished, twice and is now in criminal court for failing to disclose his campaign contributions and all the rag can do is gang up on the only person in the policywonketariat who has any cojones.
all the sheilas on the super council look like super prudes and super prunes with too much make up on and carrots up their jacksies.
They should get a life and get on with it.
Just because they have to spend their lifes greasing up to the electorate and using too much soap doesn't mean to say that everyone else is the same.
The mayor has something they dont and its called charisma and they hate it.

Apart from that all is normal.
hahahahaahahahahaha.
Got up ealry to go to the cafe to get my anti-v updates and it was a lovely morning.
Just a pity there are so many people with sh*t on their liver who have spent their lives gettting into a position so they can dump it on everyone else.
wah wah wah.

Oh and went to the Redshed where I sprung for the Woodstock Re-Issue and a Stanl;ey Brothers quad CD and a cheapo of Jackie Wilson for $4:99.
I'm in heaven. 

take a walk on the wild side....

Summer is here.
I can feel the heat closing in.
"I saw the kid take a hotshot in Philly.
Dead before he got the needle out of his arm"
William Burroughs: The Naked Lunch
Hmmmmmm.
Betraying my 60's origin here.
It was all different then.
Junkies were cool.
Yeah right.

anyway
I dont know why that popped out.
Must of been the interview with Lou Reeds Biographer yesterday on RNZ
Its all too hip these days.
Beat the geeks.

Avatar
Three more installments to be shot in New Zealand.
Huge fillip for the NZ film industry.

all the prim little blue stockings are going to ask the mayor to stump up a hundred gees for their investigation into his sex life.
Tell em to go and get stuffed Len.
They all need a good dose of Jollop.

New Zealand Member of Parliament going for a law to make drug testing a condition for employment.
Well does that include members of Parliament?

your'e only pretty as you feel...

There ya go mate.
something old something new.
Homespun Tapes advertising Xmas specials for the back porch picker to learn new skills and have some fun playing music that you make yourself.
Its not necessary to swallow all the crap that the media want to foist off on everybody as cutting edge when it is just pap.
dig?
Aircraft from the past.
Man they used to knock them out but its all the same now.
Every colour you want but no choice.
hmmmmm!
Nearly the end of the southern hemisphere year.
Everything is winding down for Xmas and the big hog in.
hehehehehehehehe.
Only news is the Mayor of Aucklands dalliance and the right wing  opposition who cant seem to find a tail to pin on the donkey.
Asses.
Barack Obama.
Hi boss.
no mentions in inbox.com news feeds today.
got them on the run eh.
Must say you remind me of Abraham Lincoln.
He couldn't fire anyone either.
In the end he got to it.
and Harry Truman.
He said his job was making people do what they were supposed to have done in the first place.
Hmmmmm.
Merry Xmas.
