Backwards to a Foreword

I started these writings with the intent of making mostly comedic style social observations. But opinions are like arseholes- everyone's got one- and as if often the way- the original intent is not what has eventuated, as the darker side of my mind has been very much in control lately.

All my writings are essentially a point of view or recollections of lived experiences. As with witness statements, which are not admissible as evidence in court due to the high rate of inaccuracy- sometimes what I feel, think or remember won't be the same as other people who may have been present for the same events.

They are my thoughts, feelings and memories, and may not necessarily represent those of people represented in them.

Things that shit me #8- Arrogance (part one)

I range in reactions from moderately bemused at for example the fat chick squeezed into a tiny dress, or the Shane Warne's of this world who have the general "I'm awesome" attitude while the rest of the world is thinking "you're a douchebag", to disgusted or enraged by, for example, a racist bogan who will tell an (Autralian born) Asian cop to "fuck off back where he came from". Right, so that would be here.. for about as many generations as you.

What it appears to boil down to is a complete lack of self-awareness. From the simple situation of one who may not own a mirror and hey- that dress looked awesome on Miranda Kerr in that magazine, never mind that you're a size 16, to the other end of the scale where surely these people must either be trying to offend, or are suffering from a chronic rectal-cranial inversion.

I've even offered on occassion to assist them in removing their head from their arse, but it's not generally met with much welcoming enthusiasm.

"Oh and I suppose you're perfect then"- the usual retort. Nope- I'll be the first to admit I have MANY flaws, faults and shortcomings, as is the topic of well, most of my blog, and again- as evidenced by this being published publically on the internet for the world to see, I don't hide it.

Call it mentally streaking through the internet if you will- Some bits will jiggle and not look pretty, but that's how it is. (on that note, just as an aside- no one looks "good" streaking, but bouncy bits are funny.)

So would it be too much to ask that people once in a while go hmm.. I'm not perfect either actually... perhaps next time I feel like being a stupid arse, I will wait 3 seconds and think if its worth it.

OOh yeah- this is so turning into a part one... coming soon: Things that shit me #8 Arrogance, subcategories-
8a) racists
8b) wanky guys who think they're really hot and you should be honoured to be sleazed onto by them
8c) road hogs/ ppl who cut you off and overtake to get 2 metres ahead.
