bantha_fodder | [australia] this is my country

We think of ourselves as happy and carefree and laid back, and on days like today we are that. No one hurries, we just sit out there in the sun all day, drinking beer and enjoying ourselves. And I like that we think of ourselves like that. But that's just today - most of the time we're stressed and hurried like the rest of the world, and that's just the way it is.

But we're not the same, at the same time. And listening to the fireworks and their soundtrack over the local radio station this evening, and it was all Aussie pubrock and This Is Australia stuff, it made me wish that the music they played was more Australian, as in, more of everything. Something Chinese followed by Japanese and Pakistani and Greek and English and just everything. I mean, that's the fucking point, isn't it?

Okay, whatever, my country is a hypocrite but I love it. Listen to the post. I'm such an embarrassment.

The End.
