Boy Genius, phew. VUP, now why would they publish that? More grants go that way than...must-stop-the-bitterness.
Punctuation is crucial. And yes, kiwibloggers are special, where do they get the intel? -
It's OK, I'm just using The Second Attention to Stop The World.

Anyone hear Jim Hopkins on The Panel today, same sort of weird knowallism couched as reverse humour. But Simon, you're right, but how long, how flipping long...Jim reckoned the whole climate change report simply said that NZ's Coasts would rise 70mm over the next 40 years, he was so funny (I almost died) he suggested to the other panalist and Jim that they go and buy a bottle of Twink(tm) because, and this is the ripper...it's only 70mm high! So it's all just a bottle of Twink(tm), nothing more, hahhhah Jim, you're a one.

Think of me as a spider's web my friend and you are the fly.

Well that's fine, we all need those private moments, mine are becoming stranger as I get older, like gardening.

The Waterboys have a new album out and according to Mr Reid it's a goody. Yes, sitting on an outer reef in the rain in tropical paradise as part of the food chain is very cool. However, back to the sort of serious stuff, because we are a couple of islands at the bottom of the world with alot of coastline and global pretensions, we make a big deal out of these sorts of issues.
But who cares that our own harbour is polluted and unsafe after rain, the inner harbour reefs are dead, they still mine sand at Pakiri and Te Arai is about to be trashed. Oh and we don't have an adequate stormwater system separated from the sewerage "system", bla, bla. global warming starts at home. -
We'll let the Commitee decide that eh?
BTW, how did you find the mark? I mean, were you looking for it? -
I Like Rain, great single. After The Rain, pretty good single. We love the rain because that's where our water for home comes from. It's pretty neat when it rains when you're surfing, until the lightening comes (yes some have died) and the fins...surfing means you are in the elements literally, so we like weather good forecasters.
Factoid, swell forecasting was developed by the US Coastguard during WW2 in the Pacific due to serious failures landing LPV's on reef fringed islands on seemingly fine, clear and otherwise mild weather days...imagine 20 foot, long period wave sets grinding you into some remote reef while being fired upon. -
Colonel Kilgore no less in Apocalypse Now. As for Carlos, who cares the real or no, he really made me think and when you study shamanism anthropologically, some of his stuff stacks up, but the metaphysical stuff (always dangerous territory) is kind of interesting, especially concerning The Nagual.

Not poor taste, but what's this cessation thing?
