what's their beef? really. i mean. i get it, you hate your job. so get a new one. can't? gain further qualifications. train/study/work and then get a job you want/appreciate more. don't lump it on others. if i did my job as bad as you (not all of you btw, just most of you [some of you are fricken awesome, like the lady who saw me turn a corner and realised i was probably coming for the bus a bit late and that the next one was 25 minutes away so she waited. you are awesome]) did yours then i'd be fired. simple as that.
why am i hating on bus drivers this morning? let me explain...
so i catch the bus to work everyday. the actual bus trip is about 8 or 9 minutes long... on a really bad day maybe 11 or 12. this morning it was 15!!!!
so what? you say
well how about this... this morning it was also raining, windy and cold.
so what? you say again...
well that bus driver acting like a nanna (no offence to nannas you can do what you want you're old. wanna drive slow? go for it!) and driving so firkcen slow ment i missed a connection on hte next bus that drops me out the front of my work. instead i had to walk about about a 1000m up the hill to work.
so what? a bit of exersize? quit ya crying! you say...
have i not mentioned that it was cold, wet and windy. look i dont have a problem with a bus being late. but 5 or 6 or 7 minutes late on an 8 minute trip? how??? poor driving. but it's your job. it's like if you went to work and after doing 8 hours the boss made you stay another 8 hours but only paid you for 8 not 16 hours work. you wouldn't take it. the bus was at my stop on time. how can you double the length of a trip? rant rant rant! are you even reading this?
to top it off? i have a lil cherry... so i mentioned that it was wet, cold and windy yeh? so maybe the bus driver would get that people coming onto the bus are wet and cold? jsut a little bit even? what would you do? let me guess... not what he did... he decided it would be a good idea to PUT ON THE AIR CONDITIONER! so not only am i wet and cold already but i also get blasted with cold air. i'm sure it's the same driver that puts the heater on in summer.
RANT RANT RANT!
sorry bout that. i was jsut tired and sleepy and hungry this morning and didn't need a stupid incompetent bus driver to make it any worse.
Cheers

like worn out jeans
EDIT: the following is about a house. not the most awesome girlfriend in the world.
like worn out old jeans my life is confortable not pretty.
these days just pass me by as i save my bucks for a new pair.
a bigger pair to fit all the things that don't fit in my pockets.
i know which pair i want and it's only a matter of time.
i'm picking the colour. i'm picking the shoes to match.
one day soon i'll be in them. new and awkward.
some time after that they'll be comfortable and mine.

stars to sunrise
the wind is chilly
but the stars are pretty
and so i'm out here at 6am
this beautiful sunrise
could be my demise
but i'd do it again and again
just to witness this sight
the first morning light
you're missing out my friend
you're sleeping at home
all on your own
until you wake up and then
you pass your days
in the same old ways
just waiting until the end
but the stars are pretty
and so i'm out here at 6am
this beautiful sunrise
could be my demise
but i'd do it again and again
just to witness this sight
the first morning light
you're missing out my friend
you're sleeping at home

you pass your days

aye to zee!
today... a music alphabet soup! some bands you should check out. one for each letter (hopefully!) of the alphabet. it's not a best of, or a list of bands you don't know of. it's just a list. i'm not sure where i should start... maybe... hmmm...
i'll go with A!
Away From Now
A Melbourne hardcore punk outfit that has a reputation for providing consistent energetic, tight live sets to their audiences. Their debut album Blackout changed my view of punk rock in Australia.
Billy Bragg
Stephen William Bragg, the bard of Barking, is the most punk rock person I can think of. Jumping from politics to romance and back again his songs delight me every single time. Spanning the gaps between folk, pop, rock and punk he truly is a genius.
Captain, We're Sinking
I've only just started listening to these guys. Can't get enough. Really. Find them, treat yourself. You can download a 4 track ep for free here!
The Don Ramos Players
The Don Ramos Players draw influences from bands such as Hot Water Music, The Lawrence Arms, Small Brown Bike and The Loved Ones to name a few. This is not technical, there is no messing about. If you like it, then that's good. If you don’t, then you don’t. They can live with that.
Enrique Iglesias
Enrique is sexy. Check him out! :P
Fake problems
They make me want to dance. They make me want to cry. They make me swoon for men. Seriously they are the best. Love them you will.
The Gaslight Anthem
Rock and roll the way it should be. Thank you Coco.
Hot Water Music
I only got onto the Hot Water Music train about 60 million years to late but they are amazing and have shaped the punk that I listen to. Every band in the world must be influenced by HWM.
Ignite
Be inflamed, be impassioned. Enjoy.
José González
Listen to the guys guitar work. Listen to his voice. Listen to his songs. They are beautiful. Not bad for a guy from Sweden. Respect.
Kill Whitey
Kill Whitey are an an "indie swing four piece" from Melbourne. I found them when they toured with Grim Fandango.
LaGrecia
They're a rock band that has the guy from None More Black in it. Get it in ya!
Million Dead
You may have heard of Frank Turner. Million Dead is the band Frank was in before he started his solo stuff. Don't get me wrong I like Frank Turners solo stuff, but this is jsut so much better. Do yourself a favour and get "A Song To Ruin". It'll change you...
No Trigger
It's been a long time since the last No Trigger record came out. I'm sitting here crossing my little fingers that something new is in the works but as each week passes with no news at all I get a little sadder. They're still rad and I like them. Yay!
The Offspring
I grew up on them. They helped me get to where I am today. I've been listening to them alot lately. Smash is still one of the greatest records ever released. If you havent listened to it in a while do it now. Thank me later.
Protest The Hero
Warning: will melt your face.
Queen
Classics. You love em... don't pretend you don't!
Rancid
Another band that I've been listening to alot lately. They do it right. Simple as that.
Small Brown Bike
They come and go in my listening. When they're here I can't get enough of them. I'm actually listening to "Dead Reckoning" right now!
Tom Petty
He won't back down becahuse he's free falling while running down a dream.
Ugly Kid Joe
America's least wanted band. The first Cassette I ever bought for myself was an UKJ album. Ahhhh, the memories!
Various Artists
It's not a joke. The best way to get into new bands is sampler CDs and compilations. Often they're for a good cause too... Get involved!
Will Shatner
His cover of "Common People" = hilarious!
Xkcd
Is not a musician or band but I can't think of one and it's an awesome web comic. enjoy!
Yellowcard
Viollins rock!
Zxspecky
Perth band. I saw them once and they played their set in alphabetical order. What better way is there to finish an alphabetical list!?
Have fun kids!
i'll go with A!
