Yes, I finally found time to watch the movie.....and wow!
It is incredible.

Human insanity.
Hatred.
Compassion.

How do stuff like that happen in our world? How does these types of hatred breed in todays world?

And how did we just turn our backs?
and things like this are still happening today and we are still ignoring it?

Have we just become immune to the attroctes of the world or do we just not care?

Over n Out

Today I attended the Youth Leaders Conference held in Darling Harbour by the Halogen Foundation.

It was a fantastic day. The people, the atmosphere, the speakers, Peter Garrett =p

It’s a day we stepped out of our bubbles and took a look at the others leaders in our wider communities (we had people from the ACT and TAS). These were the people who we were going to go later in life, the competition, the supporters, the people who we were going to see across the table of board meetings and papers.

So we all got brainwashed by Peter Garrett into saving the world, joining conservation groups, making poverty history, listening to Bono and well voting for Labor so they can save Australia and Africa for that matter but hey nothing bad right?

The joys on mingling…was most of you know I am a random free spirit, today whilst “mingling” with people, I met a friend from stir (stir.org.au…CHECK IT OUT =D) it was so awesome! All it takes for a stranger to be a friend is a simple ‘hello’

Anyway I best be off right now, work to go to, things to organise, postcards and a hamper to prepare for my MP and lastly trying to find my strengths and weaknesses whilst trying to save the world.

Everybody's gone to war
- Nerina Pallot

No cause could be so worthy.

If love is a drug, then I guess we're all sober,
If hope is a song then I guess it's all over,
How to have faith, when faith is a crime?
I don't want to die...
If God's on our side, then God is a joker,
Asleep on the job, his children fall over,
Running out through the door and straight to the sky,
I don't want to die...

For every man who wants to rule the world,
There'll be a man who just wants to be free,
[ these lyrics found on www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
What do we learn but what should not be learnt?
Too late to find a cure for this disease.

And so...
Everybody's going to war,
But we don't know what we're fighting for,
Don't tell me it's a worthy cause,
No cause could be so worthy.

If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober,
If hope is a song, I guess it's all over,
How to have faith, when faith is a crime?
I don't want to die...
If God's on our side, then God is a joker,
Asleep on the job, his children fall over,
Running out through the door, and straight to the sky,
I don't want to die...
I-I-I-I don't want to die,
I-I don't want to die...

I've got a friend, he's a pure-bred killing machine,
I think he might be dead by Christmas...

Oh my god!
The makepovertyhistory concert was the greatest thing I have ever seen on TV!


If you didn’t get a chance to see it or listen to it…then you missed out on the GREATEST THING EVER!!!!

I was unfortunate enough to not be allowed to go but the highlights on Channel 10 were amazing!

WOW! Is all I can say…to see an event like this happen in Australia with nothing more than the passion and innovation of members of my Generation is amazing!

Yes we can make history.
We will make history

Generation 2015…will be a great generation….now it seems fair to say that I am not being idealist but realistic.

Hopefully our leaders got the message.

Hi there!

Yes, it has been ages since I blogged here but other aspects of life have been taking their toll on me…

I am overcommitted and … lovin’ it, it just doesn’t give me much leisure time for pointless things like sitting in front of a computer all day and wasting away my youth. I don’t like the idea of wasting away my youth either…yet it seems like that is what will happen.

So whats been happening…..nothing much really expect ….

I attended the ‘Culture for Care’ conference for Western Sydney a few weeks back along with the Social Justice Group which was awesome.

I have also decided to NEVER EVER EVER NEVER EVER join politics. The little examples I see of democracy within the school and community and how good intentions don’t really have much of a place and instead power and popularity wins has made me reconsider.

I don’t think I mentioned this in any of my other blogs but I got a job…yup a really job…minium wage, good shifts, great people, Dominos Pizza. Great place even though the pay is beyond terrible but hey!

Had elections for the Social Justice group…which I won after a tie...so that felt good...good intentions won bahaha

Today the school held a mufti day for the Cancer Council which I suggest…which brings me saving the world to…3 fundrasier’s this year…..Famine, One Day and Cancer Council…hey it’s a good start since there is always something going on and there is not much one can do without destroying the school calendar.

I was one of 10 students picked to represent Rooty Hill High at the Young Leaders Conferece next Friday…along with 3000 other kids from across Sydney…so should be fun!

Storms and rain clouds have passed…forecast for the near future…sunshine…sunshine, blue skies…and a little bit more sunshine =D


The MakePovertyHistory Concert is on tomrow!!!!! Woot woot!! Hopefully the message gets through to them and with bands like Jet and Evermore, I’d be shocked if they didn’t!

For Australians…there will be a Radio broadcast live on Nova FM around the country (96.9……..best station ever!) also there will be a one hour delayed webcast on www.news.com.au/heraldsun and also a delayed 2 hour highlights package on Channel 10 on Saturday 12 noon.

That is all from my little world of worldnes...
hmmm I am going to start a daily blog here!
