WTF! Call me crazy but I like...

If someone had said to me a week or so ago, that I would like wrestling; well, suffice to say I would have corrected them. Rather loudly. But the tide has turned. Oh, I'm not about to say let's go to a wrestling gig; far from it.

I should know. My partner, the Squeeze is a wrestling fanatic. I should be worried with the number of guys in skimpy outfits and long hair (80s or 90s style) that gad about the stage pretending to fight. My son performed better in his grade three play where he dressed as a caterpillar with their rendition of Alice in Wonderland! Like you can't tell it is put on! Performed!!

I say this multiple times to no avail. He is hooked. Now he goes to the study, puts the wrestling on up there and I steer clear of it.

Last week I started watching this show that was on Netflix. It was called Glow (gorgeous ladies of wrestling) and apart from some side stories that got a bit dicky every so often, it was good! 3 seasons! I'm at season 3 episode 8 and all I'm thinking of is when it's over, what am I going to watch???

It has been great. It's taken my mind of impending doom, where we'll need the exoskeletons to get about! And Trump, sitting in his God knows what, yelling manically about taxing Australians 100% tax on what we export there. 

Easter! Let's see if we can be nice...

It's that time of year again. Easter! I'm just going to forget about war and stuff and concentrate on nice things! Like chocolate... 

Oh, but I can't.

Because with Easter comes things like holidays! Well, we won't be going anywhere because the damned petrol is scarce. The same with holidays. Can't get anywhere without getting in the car.

Monday is football which I intend to catch the train. I think that means every man and his dog will be catching the train! It means going early and going to the pub for lunch - I can't think of worse things.

Not much happened in my world since yesterday. I am not going to work at the moment because my boss is an arsehole and after months of abuse, I couldn't take it anymore. I took out a Workcover against them. When it all comes down to it, I may not work again, but that's okay...  We negotiated and came to a settlement but in reality, I just wanted them to own up to being pricks.

Go get your own oil...

lol and so it begins... 

The madman, Trump, has said for those he considers were not there when it comes to this war. 'Go and get our own oil!' He has "lost interest in reopening the Straight of Hormuz."

Well, I think it's good manners to actually go and consult those NATO countries about what you're going to do; prior to bombing a country!  Sit down. Talk about it and see what everyone else thinks. But consultation went flying out the window!

You can't just go in and bomb a country and then call on the rest of NATO to bail you out! And all this, for someone who got deferments and never served in the military!

So, I guess he is saying that the US won't be there for any of us... So, the rest of the western world will have to do it for ourselves. Great. Just lock yourself in, shut your borders and protect yourselves. Way to go Donald...  

And I haven't found an exoskeleton yet; which I guess, neither has my girlfriend! 

Well the End of the World is coming... Now what?

I guess everyone is sick of my 'End of the World' rants. Truth tell, so am I! But then again, the number of protests in the USA saying "Trump has to go" are a pretty good indication that everyone wants to be normal again. Makes me wonder; to get that many people protesting ICE (and Bruce Springsteen!! Best concert I have been to) you have to wonder how many didn't go but still felt that way. The POWER of protest!

I don't know where you're reading from, but petrol is in shortage here. Food will be because you can't haul it in. It is a domino effect... That is why, I believe, that Australia needs to fend for itself instead of relying on the USA.

But Trump has fallen into the psychotic belief, that it would be won within weeks. Kind makes him like Putin, who believed the war with Ukraine would be over within weeks. Not so... He is a greedy bastard. I guess we will see what Trump does next.

Now if everyone would take their seat, in their own country - and leave everyone else alone!!

The Squeeze and I are going to Vietnam in May. I have to wonder if it's safe; and if not - I'll activate my retirement plan... And Die. 😆

Ok. I'm over the end of the world...

So, moving on to... The cost of petrol!!?  WTF?

This is one thing that is showing us just what dumb ass's we are. It's fine to be all 'let's play together!' but at the end of the day, Australia needs to be more self-sufficient, in every way. Who cares what it costs?

We are a large land; about 80% of the size of America; which that equates to a shit load of land to protect. 

Population is 26 million in Australia compared to 335 million in the States.

Our Navy has about 40 ships. The USA 474.

To break it down; the USA is a heavyweight boxer running the fight.  Australia is a highly trained teammate fighting alongside them. What does that mean? At the end of the day isn't everyone going to protect their own lands? Their own people? Which is as it should be...

This means every country needs to come to each other's aid but have enough left at home to be able to rescue them also. The only thing we've got going for us is distance! Sigh...
