Tomorrow there will be a lot of young, drunken, yob idiots walking around, using Australia day as an excuse to abuse, verbally or physically, people with cultural backgrounds different than their own.

It sickens me. To me these 'patriots' are the unAustralian ones. They are thugs looking for an excuse to belt someone, and Australia Day is a handy excuse because it's so very easy - pick on the people who don't look like you.

When I was droving I worked and lived amongst yobs and bogans and thieves and murderers, and most of them, while still maintaining aspects of the low level racist attitude they were brought up with, actually got along well with 'new-Australians.' ( Rambly, badly thought out, almost stream-of-consciousness post below the cut. It will probably irritate some of you, but you'll have to live with it. )

* Between Lex and selling stuff, I've had bugger all time to post. So here are a bunch of things I wanted to do proper posts about. ( Nothing of vital importance in here, move along... )

Various photos from the last few months beneath the cut ( One shot with some fairly inoffensive nudity. )

My favourite picture of Sharon from the trip so far...

Day two of the trip... ( Many pics below cut... )

And eleven pics from the actual day of actual birthday under the cut... ( Read more... )

I woke up for the first time in this house. Since then I think I've been in Canberra for a little over half that period.

I like Canberra, but moving has really re-awoken my wandering spirit...
