Who is it that you share your nightly meals with?
Is it your house/flat/room-mates?
Is it your Family?
Or is it your television?
These are the questions I would like to find the answers to, do you share you nightly meal discussing your day with your familiars, do you eat alone in front of the television watching the nightly news, or depending on what time and channel you are watching; the weekly drama of Desperate Housewives?
On most nights my family and I sit at our Dining table, sometime between 6 and 8pm to eat, to talk, to learn. We learn what we did in the day, what’s on our minds, what is driving one another crazy once again at work or at school. We gossip, we discuss we debate or as Mum calls it, argue. We are a family.
Before moving in with our new family, which gave me a new younger sister and a father-type-person, we did not share this. My older sister who lives up away from this in a house sharing with one other (Formerly Two others) noticed it. We never sat at the table, and even prior to becoming used to it, I looked down on those who’d sit together at a table. Posh types who believed in the Christian Right-wing type of nuclear-Christian family.
When I thought of eating at a table, I thought of praying to a god I never believed in, in being told to get my elbows off the table. Of awkward quiet times in that rarely used room in my grandparents (On my original fathers sides) abode.
Now however, when I think of eating together. I feel, happier, more willing to engage in this nightly ritual only broken every now and again. I think of how lonely the meals were with only the news to keep me company, no arguments over the table over whether one of us is mature, or whether I am too nosy. Who will have a better career in the end, and whether it will matter at all how much we will make. Whether or not we should get solar, or try another alternative source. Whatever is the hot topic, or million topics of the day!
When company comes over, we share great meals over this table, and if it is not big enough…we get more tables and fill more then the extension of the dining area. It is a wonderful time, and I have never felt more in touch with my family, extended and those who I live with on a day-to-day basis.
This is my account thus far, of what my life around a table is. I would like to hear about yours, what is it you eat with, who you eat with and what it means?

Biggotry.
The hot subject of the day as induced by angry aussie (http://angryaussie.wordpress.com) who is one of my more favourite bloggers, I must admit i have ignored him for some time. But that is presently irrelevant.
As he points out in his youtube video, people generally lose their criticism when talking about it. I mean when your the one being criticised you act quite civil, dont you? There are rarely any extremists when these topics are discussed.
Funnily enough, from the related videos, there soon was many videos about fox news’ biggotry. This here what I am speaking of is not about fox news, it is the media in general. I don’t really watch fox news, or even too much TV, but the biggotry in the general media. This media I talk of covers, Morning news on all channels, youtube, blogging, myspace. Even in the streets, the person at the checkout.
I am going to speak on one particular person, who I am in fact, a fan of. His youtube name is Chris Crocker, he is on a regular basis being a biggot, and being a victim of biggotry. He is a beautiful man, I wish I was as pretty as I see him, and he is opinionated. He says what he thinks and you can’t tell whether he is acting or speaking from the heart. He says it angrilly and is incredibly patronising but everyone really loves it.

In conclusion anyway.
We all are biggots in one way or another, we all have our moments when we declare soemthing, racist, sexist, homo…or hetrophobic, against religionor whatever, just what you need to be somewhat, decent a human being is.
TACT!

“Winter is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer, when they complained about the heat”
It is mid November, Summer doesn’t come for another half a month and it’s already in the 30 – 40 degree weather. And for you not metric morons, that is in Celcius, which you should learn, it is much easier for everyone. Over 100 degrees Farenheight.
So for everyone who doesn’t know I am an Aussie shiela and this is what it is like in Australia, so yeah. Imagine what the actual summer will be for us. Think about this while you drive your high performance utes to work which is just around the corner or decide, ‘hey! !hy not drive instead of take the bus.’ You are contributing to this hell for us, up here in Australia. Or down, whatever you prefer to call it.
So it is your fault you carbon producing morons, Your fault that in 2002 374, 000 new cases of Skin cancer were discovered in Australia alone, and that isn’t including the Melanoma type cancers.
I know its been a long time but I have bee working nearly full time. Please comment and make me come and tell you whats wrong with you more often.

Karma is a real Bitch isn’t it?
I am learning this for myself, as I begin my third day of work, at coles…technically my first…I fainted on the first and only finished the training on the second.
So anywho that is all nothing to do with karma being a bitch. Me working means me gets more money. This is about computers and internet.
Now that I work I go to bed much earlier and thus sleep more so I don’t fall asleep because I am doing 8 hours days right off the bat after having yobbed at home for about a year.
I was spending most of my time on the internet. All day in fact, and my work happens to begin on the first week of school holidays the day after my younger brothers birthday. I come home yesterday, my brother is ont he internet, I requestusage and ish denied. At least I let him go on before I or he wanted to go to bed.
So until 6 o’clock he was on the internet, at which time I went on, only to be kicked off momentarilly by Mum and Paul who wanted to check their e-mails. Oh and Luke again had interfered and after spending all that time on during the day, now wanted to show Paul a youtube video of some crappy Halo three thing.
Anyway following that while mum and paul did their email thing which was acting up, Luke decided to hit me with a pipe cleaner. You know the furry things with wire in them.
And anyway he yobbed me in the eye with it. That hurt. Well then we both were banned form the computer for me getting lobbed in the eye with a pipe cleaner.
Thats the news in ym world whats yours?
