Only the Strong Survive...

  As if in some replication of nature I recently witnessed a real life display of natural selection being played out before my eyes.

  A certain man, recently released back in to the world after a self imposed hiatus but who shall remain nameless for his sake, approached the bar to obtain a drink. Just as in nature where only the strong survive, the strong located within the bar receive service promptly, while the weak will flail and struggle just to maintain bar position, knowing all the time that service is only a dream and will not come until all the strong have been satisfied. Clearly being one of the weak, this certain unnamed man held his position at the bar for an astounding amount of time. All the while the strong were being served to his left and his right, but he held his ground, knowing the longer he waited the greater his chance of service or if in nature; survival. Minutes passed and still no service, surely it was his turn, surely he had proven after 15 minutes of waiting that he too was one of the strong. Unfortunately though mother nature cannot be fooled, this was not his time, for he soon grew weak, lost bar position and eventually returned to his pack defeated, humiliated and above all else........thirsty.

  Who are we to question natural selection? Do not question this natural occurrence, just accept it and be thankful the next time you get served at the bar.....for you are one of the strong.

Know Before You Go...

 You don't cross the road without looking first do you? I didn't think so. You should always check the conditions first...whatever the situation.

 So regardless of how sure you may be that the waves are pumping, exercise a little patience and either jump online or make that short trip to the end of the street to do your wave check. For there is possibly nothing more embarrassing then running down to the beach, board under your arm, sunscreen smeared from arse to toe, only to discover that yesterdays perfection has been replaced by poo coloured water with less than half a foot of swell. Ha ha.....Northerly!

 Lesson learned.



Know Before You Go

When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going

Recently the Corporal was struck down with several serious illnesses at once, including the dreaded "Pink Eye". Concerns for his life began to mount, there were whispers he may not pull through. Sensing the concerns, the Corporal did the only thing one in his position could do. He piled the blankets high, smashed the fluids and began to sweat out his demon sickness.

He recalls a night of sweating, shivers, coughing and eye sticking. Not once did he remove the blankets piled high on his bed, weighing down his every move. He remained true to his plan.

The result; a healthy boy in the morning with no eye sticking whatsoever. Now this method of healing may not be "scientifically" proven, but it is Corporal proven. So the next time you fall ill and the "Doctors" can't heal you, remember the Corporal and his method. Give it a go, I don't think you'll be disappointed.






p.s. Remember to change your sheets after using the "Corporal Method" cause they will probably be a bit smelly.

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait....

After months of torment, anguish and interrupted weekend nanna naps, inflicted by a noisy skateboard ramp which lay barely metres from where people dwell. Patience has won a victory and the oppressed have been rewarded by the dismantling of the troublesome ramp. Why has it been pulled down? Who cares...... Where has it gone? Who cares times ten......

Moral of the story......
If you curse under your breath enough times about something and don't actually do anything about it, things will happen.

Less is More...

 
 
 
 
 
   
 
   
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
...and silence is golden.

When is enough, enough?

Sometimes we don't realise we've had enough to drink until the next day...... which is sadly far too late to help anyone.


Oh my head.

Cedit Where Credit is Due...

Is this age old saying losing sway? Is credit dually being paid where credit is due? Is credit no longer an unspoken rule? Or, is credit being stolen?

It's a fine line that distinguishes theft of one's credit for reckless disregard to pay credit. The difference? NONE.

Failing to pay credit where credit is due is tearing at the seams that keeps our social structure intact. It is allowing those with no true style, no true taste in music, fashion or food, to climb high above their lowly social ranking and aspire to popularity not once attainable. Without credit we cannot truly separate the trail blazers from the masses crowding the now overflowing band wagon.

So next time you choose to waive paying a credit or even choose to turn a blind eye to a friend or loved one that may be stealing a credit, remember; the next credit being stolen could be yours.
