TWOC-SUYD

So here I am, I have found myself a hobby that I can commit to, a most surprising situation, considering I have experimented with so many different hobbies before now. 

Prior to discovering this hobby, I have experimented with such things as Electronic Music/DJ'ing Jewellery making, Clothing Design, Kite Boarding, Tattoo's, Body piercings to mention a few with varying degrees of non-success

However, Now, I find myself an Budding Amateur Astronomer...

Traditionally I would question the completeness of ones mind who declared to me that they're into Astronomy, quotes such as “1-2 stubbies short of a 6 pack”, “20cents short of a dollar” and “your brain is completely broken” come to mind, however, once you can wrap your head around the fact astronomy does not equal astrologyand other misconceived stereotypes that are not quite true, you are left with a subject that is quite amazing, interesting and rewarding.

What I have discovered is a community of just plain nice people, calling from all walks of life, with veterans often sporting sore necks, broken ankles or flattened noses, from looking up when they probably should have been looking ahead, its these people which have all the time in the world to show you around the sky and answer all those stupid repetitive newb questions that I have asked a lot of and continue to ask now

Looking through a Telescope can only be describe as awesome, things like Omega Centauri Globular Cluster, Orion Nebula, The Jewell box, Saturn and Jupiter inspire the imagination of all,  the thing that got me hooked was the Orion Nebula.... Just do an Image Search if You don'tknow what I'm talking about, truly Breath taking

Gadgets galore - This is the bit where I get completely sucked in......... I love gadgets .........there I have said it ..............but oh, come on........how can someone of my aptitude and background ignore this technical field day that costs stupidly large amounts of money and enhances my ability to truly appreciate buyers remorse on a massive scale? Undeniably I have become a junky looking for the next fix, after that first memorable experience,

Worse yet I find myself with the strange ability to crack Geek jokes! Such as wanting to find an object and call it the Blood-nut nebula or something else not so appropriate.

Lets all hope with this in mind, that I don't discover the next major comet inbound to earth and call it the “this-will-only-completely-screw-up-your-day” or TWOC-SUYD for short

I have become so addicted to this hobby that  I have joined a couple of astronomy societies I find myself the one going out and doing public events, showing people around the night sky, in particular the Orion Nebula, implanting those seeds of addiction, but without theaforementioned injuries....its only a matter of time before I come undone and somehow end up with all three injuries simultaneously coupled with a poorly named comet, all upset with my ridiculous name choice, with me set in its sight..... Paranoia might be the next thing I write about

I often wonder how much is enough, Friday, I found out how much “enough” I need after a particularly shit day, which, as it turns out, isn’t really much at all.

So heres how the story goes..... Whilst taking out the rubbish on Friday (after a shit day) I was confronted with a yellow rubbish bag in front of a bin which was empty at the time, this person, every odd day discards their waste in the middle of the bin room...... leaving those yellow garbage bags to glare at me in a seemingly “so what are you going to do about it” way.

Well today I decided to do something about it......

Before I go forward, I need to step back in time a tiny bit, occasionally I take all the wheely bins out for the apartment block, or bring them in, so I have a relatively high exposure to the attitude and disdain shown towards the bin room, the amount of shear laziness I encounter is unbelievable

The thing is here (which tipped me over the edge) I purposely placed the wheely bin near the door entry and under the light switch to assist in the avoidance of the lazy behaviour....... what I was met with? An increased amount of laziness....... as if I encouraged laziness by adapting to the laziness presented to me (I’m sure there is a life lesson here)

I swear sometimes, some people live their life thinking that the “servant fairies” will fix everything up without a second thought and screw (not the word i want to use) it up for those who have to clean up after them, all the while un-be-known to the lousy $%*@ (thats the really bad word by the way......and plural) get to live in their world of apathy towards the real “servant fairies”

I risk life and limb taking out the bins and more so bringing them back in, as I have to dodge the onslaught of overly aggressive drivers on a maniacal two lane street, pissed off because a lane is blocked with the bins that the “refuse technicians” have precisely placed on the road to assist in me being a target of their road rage (anyone remember that game Frogger?)

Anyhow back to my foot tromping, forehead-vein-popping three year old tantrum...... The letter which resulted had a picture attached clearly showed this, unfortunately blogger would not let me take a screen shot so i just extracted the words instead for your enjoyment

This little letter is the aforementioned result for the residence of the entire apartment block that I live in, I wonder if it will take any effect,

“To the person with the yellow waste bags, 

On numerous occasions now, I have volunteered my time to dispose of your waste in a correct fashion.

I find your practice of leaving your garbage in the middle of the room extremly lazy and utmostly unhygienic.

Below is a picture of your garbage bag This was found on a Friday afternoon laying on the floor of the garbage room in front of a garbage bin which was empty

In future kindly place your garbage bags in one of the many garbage bins provided. Failure to do so will result in your garbage being returned to your front door for you to dispose of in the correct manner, and yes we know who you are, and which door to return your waste to.”

I really wanted to add that add that I would systematically insert each garbage bag up said persons bumhole, but that would definitely be going too far,

So thats my online tantrum complete, I feel better now
