HELLO SUMMER!!!

Listening to: [Audioslave - Be Yourself ]

My final exam was on Wednesday, so technically this is my first day on holidays.

How does it feel? Abso-fucken-lutely wonderful.
I don't have one once of regret this year. I studied my ass off, i attended all my classes (if i was physically able to) and when i got out of that exam hall, lighted a smoke and said to myself "so this is what freedom tastes like".

All the things i've been planning over the semester is now possible; problem is i don't know where to start!

I spent the entire day cleaning my room, i've been wanting to for ages because the amount of notes i've collected over the period is ridiculous. It ended up amounting to about 2 giant bags of paper and 1 bag of hard rubbish. Why stop there?
I scrubbed the windows, wall and vacuumed and now the room is spotless.

I said goodbye to my faithful calculator and pencil case until next year; none of which will be missed.

Here's the list of things to do in the next week (and i'm not wasting a moment of it)

-> Get car back on the road
-> Plan trip to Sydney at the end this month.
-> Finish my canvas and start a new one
-> Practise my vocals and guitar
-> Help Chow put his bushings in
-> Start chalkboard up again
-> Fix up resume and do some holiday work
-> Spend more time with family and friends
-> Clean the entire house (maybe paint it too?)
-> Buy protein
-> Start eating 4 meals a day then increase to 5 (weight gain challenge)

I'll prioritise them when i have the time.
Ciao for now, i'm going to play Street Fighter then hit the hay.

Monash Rant Pt . 3

Listening to: [ Louis Armstrong - Mack the knife ]

Those who study at Monash Clayton, does anyone ever notice the stench in the basement male toilets???

There's so much amnonia in the air, due to the fact that idiots refuse to flush after they've finished doing their business.
I caught a student who hung a number 2 and didn't wash his hands earlier in the semester. We might as well be directed to piss in the bushes, that way it smells nicer plus i don't have to read the outrageous racist remarks and political propaganda.

Look out people of Australia this is the next generation of leaders.

Also, the librarians are nice.

The exams are heating up, there's 3 more days to study after today and i admit i'm starting to get tired.
Yesterday i had one of those black out days where i just really couldn't sink any information down.

The only motivation i have is the ice cold beer, guitar, car and friends i can't wait to see once this is all over.

Bring back the death penalty...

I got a email from someone urging me to attend a rally to support convicted herion smuggler Van Nguyen.

Nguyen pictured, Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

was sentenced to death last year when 400grams (nearly half a kilo) of heroin was detained from him by Singapore authorities last year.

He stands to be die by hanging in the next 10 days. If you think this is an article in support of his release. You are wrong.

I'm sick and tired of saving these scum, while i sympathise to his Mum and hoping her next child is bought up with more discipline i hope Van Nguyen is a message to others. What a disgrace; his Mum didn't flee wartorn Vietnam to Australia to raise a drug-dealer.

I don't understand how anyone would want to campaign for something so ridiculous. It's common knowledge, if you haven't heard by now that the importation of drugs results in death, maybe this face should ring a bell:

What really ticks me over is the excuse being used which is almost as bad as Shappelles. Instead of "it wasn't mine!" by Corby it's "i'm helping my twin brother clear his debts" Souce: http://www.prisonersoverseas.com/

Here's a solution you should've thought of dickhead: GET A JOB.

You aint helping no one clear debts by flying half way across the world (where the hell did he get the ticket money?) to corrupt and shit on the laws in Singapore.

If Singaporeans come here, if they go 10km's over the speed limit they will be fined. That's fair enough i think.
If we go there and chew bubble gum we have to respect the laws put in place by chewwing our shit elsewhere. Same with the drugs.

Seems everyone is so keen on saving this drug-dealer but i'm sure if the same supporters would want Van to live next door or to look after your kids you'd second guess it. It makes the Asian community look bad adding to the arguements for an already thin point of tolerence between our ethnic cultures and also makes Australia look like a convict country in support of drug-dealers.

Many would argue Van Nguyen is human and should be treated like one, fuck even Buffalo Bill, Chopper Reid and Charles Manson had mums and probably helped them with the washing at least once. That's the defence arguement: "he's a good kid and helps his mum with the washing" and all of a sudden he's a good kid. I can imagine him thinking of all the sweet profits he'd make from the sale and maybe use the money to buy himself a nice car or getting street cred from his crew.

Who's the "sick cunt" now?
Where's your "bros" now when you are sitting on death row, lonely and no one, especially me gives a shit about you.

If you're truly stupid enough to bring drugs to a country where you gonna get hanged then maybe you should. and if we as a country are stupid enough to support his cause then i think we really need a revision. Human rights by all means should protect the innocent.... a key word that has been lost in this media charged "brother helping, washing hanging drug smuggler" controversy.

Van admitted many times he has guilty and he was sorry.

Maybe he doesn't deserve to die, but what matters is principle and prevailing laws in place to keep the people of Singapore drug free. I respect that, and so should any would-be travellers.
The situation is exasterbated when the government is pleading with the Prime Minister and even The Queen to save this little runt's life. A admire the effort put in by his family and friends but trying to mitigate our of this with leverage that would put a significant pressure on a economic scale especially with trade is not ideal and i hope our Prime Minister is smart enough to know better. (I hope the queen supports this, it'll be funny because i don't see her even sticking up for our own Johnny Howard)

A heading for The Australian, "government works for Nguyen" made me sick.
The fact that Pell lobbied to the pope made me sick. Sif Nguyen would go to church, he'd be the bastard outside it trying to sell it to our kids.

Here's a good one, why don't the people who want Van Nguyen out take his place at the gallows... anyone?

It's one less drug dealer on the street, corrupting would-be drug users who steal, rob and plunder the realy innocent citizens who work, pay tax (that funds their god-damned welfare) when they can't afford to buy the drugs from our friend here, Van Nguyen.

I think we should bring back the death penalty. If everyone knows you're going to die if you sell drugs then i think that's a big deterent. I don't care what circumstance either because i definately ain't rich yet i still make ends meet without problems. Pham saiod to me, we should clean up Springvale by clearing out the druggies... his suggestion: "line em up and shoot all of them".

How right you are.
