Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard and Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott attacked on Australia Day by Aboriginals.

Yesterday was Australia Day, and while our Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, and our Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, were in a Canberra restaurant for a ceremony for national emergency medal winners, Aboriginal protestors crowded around outside the restaurant and started banging on the glass windows. Security were quick to act and bundled both Gillard and Abbott out to a waiting car.

Julia's bodyguard has received just as much attention as everyone else.

In fact, it the above scene has now been compared to a movie....

The protest all started over Tony Abbott saying maybe it was time for the Tent Embassy outside of Parliament House to go.

The Tent Embassy was started 40 years ago by Aboriginals protesting some shit back then, and unfortunately it has been allowed to stay. They pitched tents, burned fires, lived and breathed the air outside of Parliament. They claim, as Aboriginals, the land is theirs.

Thanks to some dumb arse politician years ago, the Aboriginals have been allowed to claim land as their own, while us poor white people need to buy it from the government.

The Aboriginals think because they were here before white people that they OWN Australia and it is theirs. Never mind the fact that this country, this planet belongs to none of us.

I just really wish politicians would stop giving in to minorities, which Aboriginals are. They don't own ANYTHING, and don't get off their fat black arses to work for anything like the rest of us. They claim welfare, live out in the bush and get pissed on alcohol every welfare day. They suck off the tax payers like all the rest and don't do a damn thing to help themselves.

So why should WE help them?

This country DOES NOT belong to them, and Tony is right. Tent Embassy SHOULD go and they should be banned from camping anywhere, just like the white people booted out of parks and gardens. Just because they're Aboriginal doesn't mean they are entitled to anything.

I'd like to have a quick convo on how y'all get your ideas for posts.

Sure, we can all use the current affairs going on in the world today, or last week, or next month, if you can see into the future, or there's the stuff that's happening to you in real life. That's always good to talk about. Past, present or future.

There's everyday tv shows and ads, magazine articles and stories, stuff you hear co-workers talking about, movies you want to see or have seen, places you've been, things you've done, people you've done and places you've done them in.

But what about imaginary conversations?

No, I'm not bonkers. In fact, that's how I managed to write about 10 blog posts, because I was on tv shows having convos with the hosts. All in my head of course.

It's amazing the things you think of having a convo with a celebrity.

It's no different to role playing, pretending to meet your fave celeb and what you'd say and talk about. Or if you imagine being on Oprah or Ellen one day and what you'd gush all over.

It's all the same!!!!!

So the next time you're stuck for a blog post, imagine yourself on a tv talk show, discussing your fave stuff, or guesting on your fave drama or comedy, and just open up your ears and see what magical words you end up with.

You never know, one day you may have a book published with your words in it!!!!

Editing of my new book is way ahead of schedule. How exciting!

Well last week I mentioned I was editing my very first book for publishing next. It went quite well. I allocated two months to edit and get ready for an assessment before a final edit and publishing, yet I think I may be ahead of time.

Last Monday and Tuesday afternoons, I did the first stage of the editing. What Smashwords calls its "nuclear method". Pasting and copying the whole ms into notepad to eliminate all issues with the previous programs I wrote it in, then copy/paste into a new word doc, and then I cleaned it up for editing. It took hours each day, and I'd had enough of it.

But yesterday I went through the whole thing, which took all day, and cleaned it up some more. It quite surprised me how little editing I did, as I have given it major overhauls off and on over the years.

So I'll leave it until next Sunday and do another edit, see if I can add or delete anything. Either way, I think this book will be a month ahead of schedule at this point.

How very exciting!

The Wiggles are back together because they shafted Sam Moran!

Ten years ago The Wiggles looked like this.
Five years ago they looked like this.

Four days ago they looked like this.

Yes, that's right, they shafted Sam Moran.

We found out a lot about The Wiggles this week. They are run like a business and if you don't own a part of that business you get shafted.

Five years ago Greg Page LEFT the Wiggles due to serious health issues. He didn’t go on "medical leave", he LEFT and his understudy of four years, Sam Moran, stepped into the yellow skivvy.

Permanently we all thought.

Turns out, it wasn't permanent.

Last year there were rumours abound. Greg was broke, he'd lost the 50 million plus payout from when he left, he'd lost his money in some building business gone bad, his marriage broke up, he did TV shows about wanting to be a part of the Wiggles again. And last year they declined to take him back.

My, how times have changed.

Greg, Anthony and Jeff have been doing TV interviews this week, and boy have they been AWK.WARD!!!!!

On the Today show, when asked about Sam, Anthony replied, "Sam, What about Sam?"

Nice?

The guy's been working with you for nine years and you say that. He later tried to justify that comment in another interview, that he just thought they were there to sing and was stumped by the question. He also said he needed to shut his mouth and say nothing. He then went on to say a lot. Clearly doesn't take his own advice. Mind you, in that particular interview last night on The Project, they roped Anthony's brother, Paul, who happens to be a business partner and Anthony's manager into the interview.

Bit late on that one.

Sam has now come out and released a letter to his fans.

Facebook pages for The Wiggles and the Today show have had thousands of replies on the stories.

The public seems split. The kids don't care but the adults are annoyed and ticked off or loving it.

Personally, since Anthony has admitted o not talking to or seeing Sam, that as a business, The Wiggles need a thorough going over. What a way to treat your "employees". When a business owner leaves and you replace them, make sure you've got a tight contract otherwise you'll get shafted when that owner wants to come back.

Greg has a big head. He LEFT because he couldn't stand up without being sick, now he wants back in. Quite frankly, I think ALL of The Wiggles need an overhaul, and are past their used by dates. They're old, annoying and clearly downright rude.

Thank God I'm not a Wiggles fan!

Inspiration boards. Do you have one?

Last year I got a corkboard and turned it into a memo/feng shui/inspiration board. I had pics of money all over it, pics of jewellery I was after, pics of inspirational people etc. I went over it and cleaned it out. I had a plan for it! So more than half of the stuff came off. And when I got new ink cartridges I printed a whole heap of stuff and rearranged the board. Feng shui style.

Money goodies top left corner, exercise middle left and knowledge bottom left. Pictures of money, a scratchie I bought, an exercise bike and pics of two books I’ve been reading, FAME 101 and the Idiot’s Guide to Branding Yourself, along with a pic I found on the internet with WHO ARE YOU? all over it. There’s also pics of an iPod (which I now have) iPad, iPhone, Nintendo (also have) and camcorder there, as you can not only learn on them but I’m after them to buy as well.

Top right is relationship but there’s no pics there as I put it in the bedroom instead. Middle right is creativity and children of which I put a magazine cover with me on the front on the board. Bottom right is inspirational people and travel. Pics of Ellen and Oprah with emmys, Jackie Collins, Lady GaGa and Blake Liveley, I love the clothes she gets, and places like London, New York and L.A.

Top middle is fame, middle is earth/you and bottom middle is career, so all pics referring to me and my writing/online career, my book covers, pics of the word fame, a pic of a red carpet and a gorgeous pic I found online. Print some pics out, do your own board and get some inspiration into your life. See how it works.
