I've read a lot of rants about our current political dilemma. Most people rant on about policies and what is best for the country or what is best for them personally.
Most of what I've heard from parties is slagging off the opponents and name calling and money spent to make a mockery of the opposition. I have no faith in any of the parties or candidates in this election, being that this isn't democracy it's selective dictatorship. All this is beside the point.
Don Brash is a millionaire.
Helen Clarke is not.
The Greens are there for reasons that are not their own. ie. the good of our countries ecology.
Motives are what drive our politicians to assume a position of power. It's easy to recognize whether the motives are personal or not. This is how I will be making my decision. Because in the long run politicians who are in this for their own reasons are less likely to keep promises and less likely to point our government in a progressive direction.

I was sooo jaded today, all day. I think moving stuff this morning worked last nights alcohol through my system and it's adverse effects caused a powernap.
I had a great, no the best time last night and I hope you all did aswell. What is it about filling a lounge with all of my favorite people? The debauchery stunned me and caught me off balance for a moment last night, which is impressive. :D My presents were: a doll holding a severed head, a convincing fake $100 dollar bill (Which I must have given away) and a Monteiths black beer from Tony.
Today, after moving stuff, I went to the beach with mum and we got Hell Pizza. I got the underworld which was a bad idea, the seafood created a new plane of oddness in my tummy, which would never have happened if Wisconsin was open. And then she bought me uber speakers from the tipshop. They are big.

I spose it's time for an update >_< .
I've had a full on cool 3 days. I said bye to Steph on Wednesday and she left for Germany Thursday morning with a 24 hrs of flying to do and a stopover in Bankok.
Then on Wednesday afternoon, sat drinking Tullimore Dew and Johny Walker red whilst playing arsehole and scrabble, but we forgot to score for scrabble and the whisky made us dance to Pulp fiction soundtrack.
Then on Thursday there was The Rocky Horror Picture Show which was cool but I turned up too late `cause I went to meet Shane and he was at the Freakshow rehersal space so DaveFreak wheedled me into modeling. It didn't take much. So after rehersal we went to bodega and admired the cool costumes and laughed at my flatmate behind the bar who was wearing pink fishnets and white tiger breifs an apron and a leather wastecoat. Wicked! They'll prolly do it again with more promotion.
I had stayed up late, so on friday I slept til 3 and got visitors all day after that. Turned up to the midnight Burlesque at 6:15 and waited for dave for an hour. :/ Then went and got made up. He dressed me in colours too, which was almost as wierd as showing my legs. but I looked cool (of course :P) I had a rose and a black spikey ball in my mouth. I will find pictures and post them. When I eventually got *my* clothes back on my back muscles were sore from the cold. but it was worth it. After that went up to shanes with 2 cool cats and waited for time to go up to @ctive and mix da crunchy grooves. I was able to play all the tunes I'd been itching to play.
Saturday I went to visit brendons new flat by the beach. They have a wicked view.

Yess that's right - a journal entry from me. So much has happened ... so I'll start wiff the present.
I'm sitting in an office on the 18th floor of the inter-continental hotel at my first job in ... well, a very long time. Taking calls that don't come. But hey, I'm getting paid to sit here and write in my journal, so no complaining. Dis job has ideal hours for an owl like me; 5-11 pm. and I haven't taken a call since about 8:15pm. Tomorrow I might bring a book or write a book or sommat.
What have you been doing the last year I hear you ask. I have the perfect business plan for the Internet Cafe Market which I have been watching for over a year now. If I were to enter the market I think at least 50% of the central wellington gamers would come to me. And only for the environment I'd give `em. Apart from that; DJ'ing a bit more and discovering lots more music; Playing lots more guitar and Jamming more often and partying lots. over the last year I've learnt so much more about people and what makes `em tick, and all that's shown me is people suck and are Jaded and totally missing the point. Well better them than me. There are a few Jewels out there that realize what's important in life. And mostly they have time for their friends and aren't constantly taking energy from the people around them.
Anyhow I bored so I go now and post again tomorrow... Unless this place miraculously picks up or sommat!

Only beacause I broke the plunger *Grrr* I have real coffee sitting in front of me ... in a bag ... not a cup or in my belly, courseing through my veins. Oh yay, I have a visitor, Kaz who's just shown me the last of her ounce bag. oh well ... in fact Sundays I usually get lots of visitors. but I'm going to Indigo at 3 this afternoon to the staff meeting. Tecnically I'm not staff, but I wnat to know what they're doing with the place. They'll be putting a deck in over Cuba St. if they can get permission from the councel. I went to a friends party lastnight next door to my old flat and talked to Kim for a while. They saw my cat up ther last week because he still wanders up there when he's bored and stirs up the other cats and it's about half a km. Oh well.
Kaz is going to shout me a coffee. so I'll go buh bye
later

I swore onece that I'd never have a journal, I thought these were silly, and for people that neeed their cybelife to be complete. And it's true I feel much better. It's like someone has opened the empty cavity in my chest and filled it with mindless comforting type.
Ephebe tried to turn me into a Mansonite with tragic makeup earlier tonight. I could feel my identity slipping away and I felt impressionable again and ready to ask all sorts of stupid questions, like; So now that I'm a goth, what kinda music do I like?
and; Can I be you're friend and do what you do? I'm housetrained and don't eat much and I'll be on the crest of the next big wave of anything that looks more interesting than I am. It was lucky I was able to remove most of the corrupting makeup before I lost my opinion and sense of taste. then I watched Shreik for the second time. I still feel sorry for the red Dragon babe with the CGI whore eyeshadow.
Hey I did the Phychopath test and was kinda suprised. PS. I lied.  [ Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<br \>') in entry. Owner must fix manually.
