Final Month of (the WORST Summer in my living memory), Lunar New Year & a Hallmark Event all on they way...


I have to say a big thank fuck Summer is almost done for yet another year. I cannot say I will miss the Summer of rain, a hot day here and there and then a cloudy overcast lame day. It has been the most consistently disappointing Summer ever. Spring was amazing, Autumn will be sweet and Winter again I am sure I will complain. That said my life is pretty sweet, I live in Australia I am not in a war zone and no one is forcing me into some crazy as fuck religion, so life is a dream, just wish for better weather for the poor tourists who see promotions like Beautiful One Day, Perfect the Next.

In reality an Australian tourism promotion for Summer should be Bushfires on day, Floods the next or if you're ethnic avoid public transport and speaking in your language of choice.

Australia, Summer drunk bogans it's really the same thing, and worse is corporate drunk bogans, they can be complete cunt rags.

Ok so Summer rant done, but one of the best things about Summer is Lunar New Year (or known to some Chinese New Year), this is a time of little red envelopes, a time of fireworks a time of joy among many Asian countries and communities. I love Lunar New Year and for those in the Year of the Dog apparent last year was shit for us as Year of the Goat but Year of the Monkey, different story 2016/2017 is meant to be amazing. Fingers Crossed.

Lunar New Year is great and it leads right into Valentines Day, the day couples fork out more cash to show their love for one another, the day singles hate the world or embrace it with a party and more drinking (did I mention Australian's love to piss it up a wall above?) to drink that solo night alone.

Valentines Day is a day of hope, expectations and dreams of that man/woman or dog in Mitchell Pearce's case (no all jokes aside I will come to him) will come along and take you away for long strides along the beach, passionate S-E-X and a wedding or a commitment ceremony.

Now Mitchell Pearce, he isn't the hottest Sydney Rooster, he isn't the most unfuckable BUT this week has been so over the top. WHY is it that the man/person taking the video is not being told off for selling his friend out? Why is this person collecting (what I assume) would be a large sum of cash from trashy ACA? What on Earth were all the people who are up in arms about this doing on Australia Day like Pearce? Were they all angels and sitting at home reciting sections from the bible? Hell to the mother fucking no.

One he is a public figure, everyone has a camera on their phone, there is a quick buck for someone. Two I feel sorry (I do) for the dog and the lady in the video, that said, how many other women, animals had WORSE things done to them on Australia Day. I could say with the domestic violence in Australia right now, Mitchell Pearce would almost have been an angel reciting lines from the bible in comparison to what happened behind closed doors in Sydney's, Melbourne's even Hobart's suburbs.

You can judge Pearce all you like, he admitted he has a problem with the drink and good, now lead, men and boys look up to you, turn you're shit around and DON'T piss in your mouth like former teammate/NRL Player Todd Carney. The NRL needs to tell players, if you're going to behave badly and drink excessively make sure you're mates aren't going to sell you to the cheapest/tackiest members of the Australian Media.

I am not defending Pearce nor am I saying it's ok, but what is NOT OK is selling people out at the expense of their problems. Put yourself in a public persons shoes for five minutes, we all fuck up, we have all been that person who says something out of character but our lives aren't on the front page of every tabloid newspaper.

Come on Australia we are so much better than being the drunk nation that pretends to fuck dogs and drink ourselves into next Tuesday, as a nation let's do better. Please?
