Shopping Tips?

Look away if you are easily offended.

I know this guy, there we go, already you think I am talking about myself. I too think that, whenever someones says ,"I know this bloke," or "A friend of mine." But no I really know this BLOKE. He is in his mid forties, loves to be the centre of attention. Has very insightful views when it comes to watching "The Morning Show" on TV with that guy Carl on it. He hates Carl.

He does like the "Breakfast Show on ABC24," he is in lust with Virginia Trioli. He says he watches the show on his days off. He says she is sexy and much more, I'm not going to make this blog "R" rated by repeating his comments re: the big "V".

Now this great observer, my mate, has some very interesting ideas when shopping. His eyes sparkle in his oval shaped No1 shaved head and three day growth on his lower face. Bloke says: "Mate when you go to Aldi you have to line up so the check out chick babe is on your right." His eyes inadvertently roll upwards as he describes further his strange tale. "Then you quickly put your trolley near the til, now you watch as the girl sways, usually the shirt will pucker giving you a glimpse of frilly bras and beautiful cleavage." Bloke is in heaven in his mind reliving his fetish and fantasy.

I am not sure what to think of this father of three and dutiful husband with a good and responsible day job. It probably goes a long with the way male society commodifies women in a sexual way. I find these stories leave me feeling sad for the people involved, the girl just doing a shitty job to get by, being transmuted to some cerebral sex goddess fulfilling the dreams of what seems to me to be a sexually frustrated forty something, sex starved suburban male.

So the next day I head off to Aldi with my wife. I do the experiment. I get the check out on my right. I load the endless conveyor belt with things, things to be paid for. Rush up to the til, park the trolley in the required place, turn and look straight at the offending uniform on the check out chick, my idea is to warn her of this tiny indiscretion in uniform design. The check out chick is a guy called Robert. Good intensions wasted. I will warn them though when I get the opportunity.

Why Say Art Is Good When It Isn't

Why Say Art Is Good When IT Isn't. Have you ever been asked to judge art or even vote on a selection of art? I recently was asked to judge from a line up of 17 paintings from a world leading city in art. No matter how hard I looked or how generous my art filter, I could not find one painting there worthy of a second look. Contrived, overtly influenced i.e. seen it all before and just plain awful and unfinished half baked ideas that is all I could see. If this is what is emerging from a world centre of art it is  very sad. The people involved didn't like my responses even though they invited me to pick and judge. It's wrong to say that art is good when it isn't. Why? Because it stifles the poor developing artists. If they are told everything they do is great they are not going to strive to get better. They fall for their own publicity and then the art falls from good. So brown so grey so mud that is all I can say about the latest batch of unfortunate works.  In f...

No More Thumbs in the air for Me! image found on the internet In My Opinion; You know there is a picture running around the internet that shows Pratt, Trump and Morrison, all thumbs upping the camera. The good old symbol of the thumbs up, everything is okay. She’ll be right mate. Safe to go. The thumbs up symbol in Aviation means all safe to go. But under the watch of Morrison, Trump et al the symbol to me is reaching new lows and broadcasting how unsafe our reality really is under the watch of these aspirational dictators. dreamtime stock image The fist clenched with the thumb pointing up is no more a safety symbol nowadays than a sign warning of toxic waste, or nuclear leaks. These blokes of dubious past Trump and his alleged dodgy businesses, Morrison and his alleged indiscretions in the Tourism job, all hidden from public perusal because they must want to hide something, otherwise why wouldn’t they release information that will stop people like me thinking th...

Virtual Fools Real Idiots in a Stupid World.

  Picture from the internet. A moment of fiction? Or is it? Here’s a little story about entitlement. Exhibit 'A,'17 going on eighteen. The best part of their day which is extremely constricted by the never ending vulture like stance of staring into the phone, that is very rarely out of their hand. Yeah the best part of their day? Going back to bed after they have been in bed. This bed, unmade for what seems like decades the stench of body odour, crumpled sox, underpants and clothes interspersed with empty coke cans and various chip and sweet wrappers brings tears to your eyes if you dare put yourself in that environment. Not sure what colour the carpet is because it hasn’t been seen for the rubbish the last couple of years. When challenged on these things the natural fall back position, like most things outside the field of vision taken up by the screen is perjurer territory for them.   They lie so much or I suppose we could label it, 'virtual truth' which is based on o...
