On the couch watching television
Have you seen that new RTA ad yet? Its the one where there are four guys driving down a street and all turn their heads to look at presumably, a hot girl, then the fat guy yells out look out twice and then the car hits a woman crossing the road and her oranges all roll out of her bag and then it shows everyone in the car in shock with the fat guy crying. What an awfully realistic commercial! *reminiscing about that summer vacation ad*
Anyway, that situation occurs so often in everyday society that its now requires a graphic commercial to make everyone wake up to their senses. The message it conveys is a powerful one:
look before you fucking cross the road!
My question is what the
hell was that lady doing when she stepped on the road. Perhaps she was also checking out the hot girl; we can only speculate. In my day, we looked before we crossed.
I hate pedestrians
So many times I've almost knocked some idiot like her crossing the road. They all cross right under a sign that says 90 or jump out behind of parked cars on the street or worse, they look at you and still cross! Its blantantly obvious that these people are the scum of society. I mean, they have eyes, use them! The car can't see what's in front of it and the driver has a million other things to concentrate on like which radio station to listen to, making sure that SMS I'm typing with my thumb is spelt correctly and most importantly, ensuring that the gust of wind did not adversely affect my hair.
Honestly, why do people like to pretend they are blind?
I think it is time for the NSW government to introduce a special department called the
Pedestrians Traffic authority or
PTA for short. Here, every pedestrian must obtain a license to cross the any roads, and a special permit to cross highways. The licensing system will include a one year learning period where pedestrians have to wear a big yellow L cardboard sign around their neck, denoting
LOSER and after that, a red P sign denoting
PRAT and after that, a green P sign to show how experienced you are at crossing the road.
Also, a computer hazards test will also be taken for all potential pedestrians. Here, the pedestrian must indicate when it is appropriate to cross the road in various situations. A strong police force will also be required to ensure that all pedestrian are licensed for the appropriate roads they are crossing. I recommends introducing fixed crossing cameras on all roads to photograph pedestrians who inappropriately cross roads. Random breath tests will also be carried out - any drunk crossing the road will have their license taken away and the pedestrian road book thrown at them.
It is time for the drivers to reclaim their roads. Roads are for cars, walkways are
for pedestrians.

On the train to uni
I just remember a conversation I had with (lets say KY, *not the lube*), an old friend from school. We met by chance on the train and were talking about another friends birthday and what to get her, lets call her XX. Anyway, KY was, how should I say, rather pissed at how some people attach great sentimental value to the art of gift giving, she by the way, is quite a practical person and will chose praticality over sentimentality. Theres also a story behind the pent up anger and its about the exchange of a gift to KY from XX and XX being upset that the gift was exchanged and KY upset at XX for being upset and ZH being upset that KY upsetted XX and KY upset that ZH upset at KY upsetting XX and XX being upset that ZH upset that she was upset and everyone is upset because I
had to write it down and share it with the world: which was my original purpose.
Anyway, this got me thinking. What do
I want for my birthday.....Well, its kinda hard to say what I
really at this moment in time, so I complied a list of the things I want in life. My goals, if you can call it that. I know that this is a step away from my usual self, but for once, let me be different and
not complain, rant or whinge.

Hoping the lack of sunshine is giving you a miserable day, tyarrhea.
Hello, its very late as i'm writing this. I don't know why my previous blog is located in the archive section....? perhaps someone can help me. anyway, me sleeply. leave my thoughts for another day.
tyarrhea going to bed
I worked out what the problem was, my IE's cache was not updating even though the blog has changed. Stupid Computer. Stupid IE. Stupid Microsoft.

On the way home on the bus Hello, first, let me apologise for the infrequentness of this blog. As some of you might know, I'm a very busy person....... or rather, a lazy person.
Anyway, true to the title of this blog, let me get started with my first rant. Talking in actuarial today with LL, we stumbled across Bob Carr's "
racist" comments [me thinks otherwise]. This lead to another discussion about race and schools. I hate school kids, especially high school kids, in fact, I hate juvenilles. Especially the ones who travel half way across town when there are fuckingly good local schools. How did I start to loathe school kids, well, I was once a school kid.
It all started when I had to pay for my bus fare home when all the other kids got on for free. Being the tight arse I am and somewhat a rebel, I metaphorically told them to shove their bus up their arse by choosing to walk to and from school everyday. I did this all through high school, to my local high school. Now, that is not the case anymore. We now have the situation where parents are sending their kids all the way across town, clogging up our public transport system.
I understand that many of you did not go to your local high school because you have some *special* talent, but stupid, mediocre kids feel that they too should clog up our public transport. Coming home from uni today, the bus home was full of fucking high school kids; who swore, stank and worse of all, were ugly! [I will comment for on this at a later date] Why am I so angry, because on my bus route, it goes past 4, possibly 5 high schools. But for some reason, they all choose to go to the one futherest away. [BTW, they got
free public transport]
Now don't call me a racist because I know I am, but after years of observation, I can say [with 99.9% confidence] that kids of a particular ethinic background tend to all attend the same school. Whats up with that? First they can't speak english, then they compound the problem by all not speaking english. Its disgusting. And they get
free public transport.
I think its about time that the state government introduces a policy that every stupid, mediocre and no-hope-for-the-future kid should attend their public school, like me, [this actually might make the public vs. private school debate worse for the gov.] or at least take away their free public transport entitlement. Schools should also become more tough on uniforms because those kids looked horrible!!!!! I felt dirty standing next to them. Whatever happened to school pride [though I can't speak for myself here]. Unless you are speical, walk to school!!!! Now that I've calmed down a bit, perhaps next time I'd have a more composed blog to post.

WELCOME
I've decided to start a blog. I don't know why or what possessed me to do so, but I think this will a good why to keep in touch in the future....actually, its just going to be another avenue for me to complain about things, life and everything. So here we go.
Some bastard stole my first choice of name for this blog
. I've had that net-handle since I first logged on. Its been with me since 1998, I feel as though I've lost a limb....so I went with my second choice
tyarrhea. Its a play on words (just like tyrani) that involves my name and that nasty toilet business. Its actually befitting because of a lot of the things thats going to be said here will involve no thinking and comprises quite a lot of s**t.
Its also the name of my restuarant, the one that I'm going to open in my dreams - a fusion of modern asian and australian cuisine that will have you running to the toliet with tyarrhea
. I like that name.
Anyway, here we go.
