Tear the roots from the earth.
In all of debate within the last 30 or so years, Australia has tried to become a republic. A referendum was held and it lost as it did not get a majority of both individuals and states. Why is this the situation?
As it turns out, I think when individuals voted during the referendum, many people did not understand the political structure, the economic structure as well as complex legal structures that relates to a republic. Those many have no idea of what a republic is like and fears that it may as well be related to a communist rule. That I believe is one primary reason for the failure of Australia becoming a republic.
Australia should become a republic, where we can establish our own identity instead of following the lead of the British. The royal family does not even have any impact or influence to Australia in this modern era. There is hardly any communication within. It is time to break away from tradition. It is time to let the people of Australia determine Australia for who we are. The British is already losing their power over us, so why not break from it entirely? There is no point to be hanging from a thread in this situation.
The individuals must understand that a republic is more or less controlled by the people within that nation. It is similar to what we have now, but only without a queen. All systemic structures can remain unchanged and we no longer need a Governor-General to sit in the Australian Parliaments and pass all Bills and Sign all Acts. What a waste of an effort. It is one extra barrier to having what the people really want.
There are benefits and costs to becoming a republic. But the opportunity cost to Australia becoming a republic is giving up time and transition, in which during that time, may result in many complications, conflict and frustration. However, once that period passes away, everyone will be enjoying life without a monarch.
Why stay with "Mother England" when they are hardly looking after us? Why, when they neglected us in World War 2? Why, when we are capable of running a country by ourselves without a head monarch authority?
It is time to break away in this new modern world of the twenty-first century, from our earthly roots.

A coin has three faces.
Yay! Holidays! or Yay? Holidays...
No really. There are usually two sides to school holidays. One group of people cherish this moment to relax and enjoy themselves as much as possible before the next term, where it's back to cramming as much as possible into their heads. Alongside this is not looking forward to lessons. The other group of people go don't feel enthusiastic about the holidays, because it is a period of boredom. This can be due to the fact that they are the only child, or that they are really lazy and cannot be bothered to work the mind and matter to go out and organise something.
The last view is one that some people adopt. It is where they want the holidays to come quickly, do everything in the first week or even few days, then get bored and want the holidays to be over.
Personally, I much like school. Education, learning, wisdom and knowledge. A fountain at its best. I like my lessons and love my teachers. But love one in particular ;P
I hope these school holidays will come to an end quickly, which they will. During this period, I will read Pride and Prejudice, watch Pride and Prejudice, read Letters to Alice, do my Legal Holiday Homework, write more poems for Ext. 2 English, do Ext. 1 English assessment task and holiday work, revise Economics and do the booklet. And oh dear...I hate Year 12.

Next dawn.
So English down. Maths tomorrow. It was hilarious after thinking about it. I was thinking about one person the entire time I wrote my English story, and because I thought about her the entire time, I was able to write my story flat out because my story flowed to me naturally like a waterfall. *No pun intended*
Anyway, I decided to close my Bebo account. Thinking about closing Myspace too. Too many social networking sites and most of them are fairly useless. Meh.
Ok. So I studied for Maths. Most of it is fairly easy. Only 2 Unit.

Race for first.
Good 'ole half yearlies have whipped around the corner and has lined up at the start line, waiting for the signal.
In first lane is Advanced English - Creative Writing. It is good that I have managed to make it really obvious what my story is about.
Next would be Maths. Only Two Unit but 25%. So...that's the drawback.
Then I have Saturday, Sunday and Monday to study for Economics, Legal Studies and Extension Maths. That should be enough time if I start at 8 and finish at 5. IF.
Well, I wish everyone luck.

Voila!
It has come to my awareness at how many people become fascinated once becoming involved with viewing magic - real time. It only required a simple flick of the wrist and a simple motion of the fingers and people look upon in awe and shock. It intrigues me. Today I performed the Coin Matrix infront of my pastoral care group and stunned each and every person. Also I managed to impress the people in my English class that day. People really do like this trick. This shall be my signature trick until I learn a more amazing one.
P.S. People say my personal sound effects and the way I communicate is great. *smile*

Pyramids of modern society.
The countdown begins for the half yearlies to approach with each second ticking, faster and faster in pace with the heart as the nerves begin to kick in.
I'm glad that the jersey tags catastrophe has come to an end with the newer generation triumphant over the head authority.
Now the thing is, is that there is a thing called the "is is" epidemic within society. This is grammatically incorrect by the way. But it is very popular.
Now to ramble on with a thought.
Dignity I believe is one aspect that all humans should be born with, no matter what your race, skin colour, gender, sex and etc. This is not the case. The situation at the moment is, dignity is a reputation on earns throughout their lifetime, similar to an achievement hierarchy. Those that are raised better with better education and have better educated parents, tend to develop their skills to gain dignity from society faster. The more intellect one is, the higher the dignity one gets. Anyone else with me on this one?

Screening.
It took me a while to realise and remember that it's about time I started sharing some of my favourite youtube clips, since I can say that I'm probably one of the Youtube addicts in my grade.
My favourite concept is the use of programming music into an animated form, hence: Animusic! Lots of credit to the producers and composers who dedicated their time and effort into creating beautiful pieces of easy listening music. Some of them anyway.
Anyway. Enjoy!

Discovered Check.
The other day, think it was Saturday week, I was playing this man in his 30's on one of the smaller chessboard with his pieces he brought, seeking for players. So his skills are much more higher than mine.
Ok...on with the story. So I was playing chess against him, and there were people watching, families, individuals, chess enthusiasts, boys and girls of all ages. So in the end, I resigned being down in material and he explained to me where my mistakes were in the game. Afterwards, there were these girls who also watched our game and I ended up chatting to them. We went for lunch afterwards. Suddenly, out of nowhere, one of the girls *not disclosing name here* asked me out and really...I was frozen.
So good sign???
