State of Origin, 66th Minute. NSW 14, Qld 6.

Regarding TV Advertising Using Sex to Sell things...A Moral Issue.

 

I miss Rex Mossop.

 

 

To Quote Rex Mossop...

 

 

"I'm sick of coming home every day, sitting down, turning on the TV, and having sexual organs shoved down my throat!"

Scary movie 2 first scene

for me
as a health professional, this excerpt pretty well sums up the offer made to me to work in a unit tonight...
...where the exorcist enters the girls room and sees her totally possessed, and turns away muttering...'oh fuck this......... I'm going home'. It's amazing how often Art resembles Life...

A State of Origin Rugby League Poem of Meditation and Mindfulness

 

 

Dear Lord and God of Mindful Biff

Please make the Blues so Proudly Stiff

To run the Line and Plant the Gift

Before the Goals of Time doth shift...


Chorus:
Knock On! Knock On! Get Up Em!


Let Us Not Be So Marooned...
So Soon-ed...
But Rather Shout and Run About!
And Give Our Prayers to Luck
And Take It On The Fly Or Die
You Stupid Fuck!

19th Minute of the State of Origin...the Blues kick a goal! Brilliant!

I love Rugby League and watch 3 whole games every year! Go the Blues! Fuck em! If you can't fuck 'em, at least play footy against them!

State of Origin Rugby League, and Mindfullness, and Reading St Thomas Aquinas at the Same Time, Whilst Preparing a Lecture on Chronic Illness...

An Interesting Evening Indeed.
I like WH Auden's poetry...especially these lines...

If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Now, NSW has scored an early Try! Excellent, now back to studying Mysticism, the Cloud of Unknowing, Hitchings, and Yeats...as any damn big male Australian bloke like me should be doing...

W H Auden

“Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.”

Hitchens '07: god Is Not Great/This is a lovely, intelligent, warm friendly conversation between two opposing minds, which honours each other...Its very good 'men's talk'...very highly evolved.

This is such a good discussion because both positions are stated so very reasonably, so there is none of the usual 'hate this or hate that' position, but rather the delightful discussion between two highly evolved beings who see things quite differently...I love this harmonious disagreement...
