NEWS! 24/06/2010 - Football and Finally a Female Prime Minister.

Ok so as I'm not quite sure what this blog is going to be about yet I'm just going to write about anything and everything that interests me... and you will read it and like it, Damn IT!

Two really important pieces of news took place today, both are bittersweet.

Socceroo's Die Trying

Yes even after the abysmal record the Socceroos have achieved this World Cup, I still forced myself out of bed at 4am this morning to watch their final match against Serbia. Now I will be the first ti admit that I don't really know much about football except that the general idea is to kick the ball into the other teams net. Yet I still enjoy watching the game especially at an international level.

Despite the fact that I know very little about the game, I reserve most of comments to the colour of their uniforms, even I was able to notice that Australia just wasn't that good. I mean the game against Germany was well, the less said about it the better and even the draw against Guarna could have been better. (Although I was starting to think that maybe the refs had a bias against us - two red cards in two games to a our two best chances of getting goals.)

But after this mornings efforts they have fully redeemed themselves in my eyes. For starters the didn't get a red card, so awesomely had 11 players for the full match. They manged to score 2 goals - that's got to be good and they won. OK so they did let Serbia get one, but that's not bad really. I know that they really aren't good enough to go through to the next round, and if we had have manged on of the crazy scenarios in which we might have got through chances are we would have been knocked out in the next round.

I think that next time we can do it, and I am determined to be there to watch it. It's just so much fun, yelling at the telly and I bet it would be more being there... even with those crazy horn thingys. You don't even have to know the rules, all you need to know is that your team is right and the other guy totally tripped him!

Also the guys are super cute -
Australia's First Female Prime Minister

So if you don't already know, google it. Julia Gillard is the new Prime Minister of I'm thinking a top 5 hottest soccer players - coming soon.

So there we have it -

What if # 2:

Went to the 2014 world cup. (Check back here in 4 years for an update).


POLITICS!


Australia, the first female Prime Minister and quite possibly, as she joked, the first red headed PM.


Ok so this is epic news, and possibly should have gone first... but it's early days so I'm not really sure what to say about it. I mean as a woman its AWESOME. I mean a female in charge of the whole country, I have been waiting for this since my year six trip to Canberra. And Julia Gillard is fabulous, I've always liked her... she's charismatic and for want of a better phrase - she's got balls. But I disagree with her on a lot of policy issues but I am going to give her a chance to prove herself.

First lets just take a moment to think about poor Kev (Kevin Rudd, former PM). The poor guy was already under so much stress then out of nowhere he gets kicked out. He was in a hard place and I don't know what I would have done in his position so I find it hard to judge him. It always seems like his heart is in the right place he just, well kind of boring. Lets face it, he was basicly rent-a-prime minister, only there because Australia is still so misogynistic Julia knew she wouldn't get elected on her own. But I defy anyone not to tear up during his concession speech this morning. I know that I cry in pretty much anything but this was really sad. He looked so... lost, I kind of wanted to hug him...

Let's all go to Canberra and give Kev a hug... He's a good guy he's just not tough enough for politics. Maybe I should offer to help him move out of the lodge?

If you need a hand Kev drop me a line...

I hope for the sake of woman's politics that Julia is able to win the election and actually do some good. Maybe she will get over her fear of refugees... and be a bit more generous and hopefully she will change her stance on gay marriage because homophobia is soooo gay. Who I choose to love is my choice, just the same as you. It's sad because I thought people would be over label love by now, but I guess not.

I think having her as leader is probably a good thing for the election... I mean Tony Abbot is just so anti woman that no intelligent women could possible vote for him. I think Julia is smart enough to pull us through this shit, I just hope the general public can see it.

Come on Julia you are one kick ass chick, lets make history - for a good reason.

Women in history is really interesting so watch out for the top 5 women of history.

Bwarny is about to gain some muchness!

I found out today that I made one of the smallest mistakes, that just happens to have the biggest impact on my life.

And no I am not pregnant (so don't freak out there boyfriend). I didn't cheat either. Funnily enough this mistake has nothing to do with sex.

It is the stupidest thing I have ever done but I don't plan on telling you what it is. What I will tell you is that I am fed up with doing the right thing and waiting for life to come and fine me. I am determined to go out there and get what I want.

Ok so I don' exactly know what I want (it changes daily) but I know I don't ever want to be stuck in my parents house crying into my pillow playing "what if" in my mind.

All those what if's, all those crazy imaginary ideas and plans are going to move from dreams to reality.

Even if I fail miserably I am going to have one hell of an adventure trying.

What if # 1:

Start and continue to write a blog.

As you can see I started this little waste of time 2 years ago... but its about to experience rebirth (kick-ass Joss Whedon-vampire style).

So no one is actually reading this now and probably never will but fuck that at least I will leave something more than mascara on my pillow when I die.
