This is wrong. Conroy, have you even asked the people who put you where you are whether they want it or not? Australian's don't want this internet filter. Before you know it Australia will look like a 1950's communist Russia.
I don't want this filter and I'm sure that many other Australia's do not want this either. Be smart and don't do it if you want to remain in parliament.

Insomnia; my folly
Recently, I've found myself to be awake at 4 through to 6am, only to decide to hop into bed at the time most people wake up. And it's killing me.
This is the third time I'm doing an all night-er to try and reset my body clock. Even eating celery is easier than this, and I really, really do not like celery.
And so now I have to spend the next twelve hours trying to stay awake while my mind is slowly shutting down and my eyelids are getting heavier. Oh joy. I'll probably end up making myself something to eat and then taking a shower.
Other than that, I'm fine. I've got a midlife crisis, speaking of which I have no idea what that means, and so everything just falls into place and I can say life is peachy. Not to mention my spiritual life needs a good permanent booster. Hopefully getting my P's will kick my mind into gear and get me going to church.
Ugh. I think I have a slouching problem, my spine must be bent in a billion ways. Great, time to visit the physio and get my xrays done.
It's truely amazing how normal I consider myself to be, but how completely un-normal I am in certain aspects. I guess it's just apart of growing up.
Gnite kids.

Another Black Day
Life...so innocent, so complex, so fragile.
In one fell swoop, more than 180 friends and family were taken away from us by the bushfires of Summer in Victoria, Australia.
It still shocks me too the core, one week on and I'm still shaking, I still feel sick to think of all the suffering, yet my soul is pulling me to go and assist somehow in the aid effort. If only I could drive, I'd gladly do something.
There's no words to describe how people feel in this situation. I don't feel that this is one of those events that I say, "Oh that's terrible." and can continue eating. I've shed tears like many of the other Victorians who have see the events take place.
It only took less than 12 hours for the fires to kill 180+. Smoldering bodies cover the sidewalks and hug steering wheels as many failed to escape the grasp of the fires. Others never were given the chance to run, and were found grasping one another in a last loving embrace. The Australian wrote in an article,

Down the road in Yarra Glenn, Melanee Hermocilla, 23, her boyfriend, Greg Lloyd, 22, and her brother Jason Hermocilla, 21, were house-sitting someone else's home when the fire engulfed them. They huddled together under wet towels and phoned their parents to say goodbye.
Can you imagine that? Receiving a call from your child? Telling you they're about to die?
Those who survived on ovals, in pools, in bunkers had to listen to the sound of fire ripping through the towns. The sound of the towns dying.
By the end of that day, Wandong, Kinglake West, Strathewen, Kinglake and Marysville ceased to exist. Thousands were left homeless and countless memories were destroyed.
Survivor witness reports claim that once the fire has taken ahold of Marysville, coming outside onto the street was like entering hell. It literally rained down fire, the sound of the burning was so loud it was overpowering. In the words of Lucie O'Meare, "That fire was evil, it had a purpose. It was hungry."
This makes no sense, but I need to say this stuff somewhere, I feel that if I don't I'll just get worse. Please if anyone reads this, donate to help the relief effort. If you can't at least do something, investigate, pray just do something.
