Ever since I can remember some movies have received criticism for their lack of 'plot.' I have always wondered why that is, why people need to have a driving narrative to establish it as a worthy film. Would it's appeal be that people need a story that is so removed from their own life that it can be summed up with a beginning and an end within 100 minutes that would be so rare in a regular civilian's life that ever if it was a story worth telling it would span over a long period of time with heaps of shit in between to make it evident as a worthwhile story, it would be clouded with all those irrelevant moments such as internet conversations to build up one's emotions toward the relevant 'plot.'
Why has plot become so necessary in film and video game when hardly any of the audience can relate to the subject at hand? Obviously it is the oldest form of entertainment being 'story telling' but why has realistic and relative 'plot' been abandoned in most forms besides song?
This leads me to my main point of sport, and it being one of the most important narratives this world has to offer. In it's true essence, sport can be seen as an art, where 1,2,10,12,22,28 or 36 men or women (etc) basically role play under the same strict environment to create such a real version of 'PLOT.' The difference between sport, music, film , novel and computer game is the fact that it's real and told in real time. Nothing can be truer or honest than sport in it's exploration of 'plot' within it's governed time limit.
Personally I can not understand what there is not to love and appreciate of sport if you indeed appreciate music, film, novel and video game. It is still performed under the bounds of your own physical and mental state to create entertainment, the only difference is it is performed live under the gaze of many without corrections of errors which is the is the most magnetic for fans.... see Manchester United, West Coast Eagles and Brazil for details.
Back in the day of the true origins of music and theater being performed live held it's entertainment, with the new dvd boom could we see classic sporting events being sold as pop culture? With mass audiences purchasing these items to sit back, appreciate and marvel at the skill in which a gathering of humans can astound and entertain to create 'plots' that may never be forgotten?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPORT AND ART!!!?!?!?!

Ian Lenton's analysis of the World Cup and it's effect on Australian sport.
If the fucking green and gold take this momentum through to a result against the 'safe to win' nation, that if the country put in half the effort into cultural advancement as they do in soccer they would no longer be a third world country (Brazil) and we take a result from Croatia, the future of AFL and NRL in Australia with it being our rich sporting identity could be killed off within the next 30 years to the state that soccer currently exists in Australia.
Compare Cahill's 89th minute winner under dire circumstances while the worlds largest television audience looks on to Blake Caracella's near paralysing experience a few weeks ago let alone all the players who have had fractured skull's and jaw's this season to a parent interested in enrolling their child into a social/sporting activity. What will be the result? The fact is that the atheletes in modern sport are becoming faster, stronger and physical applied to the codes to AFL and NRl will just result in the injuries sustained becoming worse and worse.
With today's increasing efforts to censor violence to those who are deemed too 'immature' to handle 'gore' and 'violence' in pop culture which in turn has resulted in a less barbaric society can you imagine how well a sport that requires 90% skill and 10% muscle to avoid opponents will boom in an anti violence nation such as Australia? For the culture and of Australia long live the AFL, and for the ability to scream to the world like we have done in every other sport that we are small in numbers but dominant in athletic ability, long live soccer in all forms.

Ohoho, only a matter of days to go. This is one of the best parts of the World Cup - anticipation - and I'm excited in ways I probably shouldn't be.
Let's just hope it's a decent tournament. The last thing we need, for Australia's return, is for Germany '06 to turn into a complete dud. We want goals, we want skills, we want the hosts to throw off the shackles of stereotypical Teutonic lack of humour and sex.
In fact, that's it. We want, as one great man once said, sexy football. We want 4-3 thrillers between Angola and Iran. We want dramatic sendings off from dirty South Americans. We want maniacal coaches and bizarre superstitions from players who obviously just shouldn't be playing at this level. We want Trinidad & Tobago to win a game. We want Mark Viduka to power through the Brazilian defence and put a rocket up their arse and into the net. We want goals from the halfway line, the corner flag and poked in from the six yard box. We want flicks, tricks, feignts, stepovers, volleys and headers. We want refs who let the game flow and whose cards don't pop up like a toaster every five minutes.
We want late nights and long drinks. We want drunken phone calls and undecipherable text messages. We want girlfriends and wives to magically appear with a stack of steaming half-time munchies. We want bosses that join in the conversations and don't mind if we rock in a little late and seedy. (Are you listening Mr Pegley?)
We want passion, goals, beer, chips, screams, tears, anger and love between men and women and men and men and women and women of all nations. It's the bloody World Cup! C'MMMMOOOOON!

My Dad is currently out playing golf with football legend Gabriel Batistuta no shit.
I think the saddest story I have heard for a very long time is the issue with the Kangaroo's member who was dishing out abuse to Laidley all game and when confronted by Laidley that he should go into the rooms and see how much the North Melbourne players were hurting, said nothing in return and looked completely taken back. In press confrences after the game it was just taken that the guy was drunk, it turns out after the incident they took an alcohol reading from him and he was clear.... he was retarded. Following the match, the guy jumped off of a bridge into the path of a train.

"the Fremantle Football Club will leave no stone unturned for our 35,000 supporters to get those four points.
"We cop a fair bit of flak for different reasons - we haven't won a premiership - and we'll keep copping it until we do, but this is unacceptable. We clearly won the game and they're our four points and we'll go through the process."
"The umpires have got to stay out of this. We can't in anyway criticise the umpires - common sense has to take place. Clock stopped. We won. Emergency umpire knew it and the players are jumping around … imagine if it was a grand final.
"Common sense has to prevail and can I tell you that if the boot was on the other foot, I'd be putting my hand up. It's yours St Kilda, the siren's gone - you've won it - make no bones about that - there has got to be some value of honesty and some value of integrity.
"I don't know their position, but that'd be the position of the Fremantle Football Club, because it's the values in sport that are most important - they underpin everything."

GIVE US THE POINTS ST KILDA, WE FUCKING BEAT YOU.

Fucking why if I were moving away would you pursue? I'm beginning to think the doc's remedy of elevating the pain by sticking a thumb up my ass is some sick way of entertaining himself, as it does more fucking harm than good.
What's left of shit life?

I just needed to write something hey.
Did we all forget about this guy?
Or the fucking 18 year old kid as a part of the Bali 9, who's family informed the Australian Federal Police to stop him from going on the drug run to reduce what demonic sentence our northern neighbours may impose on him. In knowing this our comrades let the kid go in some 'dick in your mouth - dick in my ass' political trade off, for what reason? Sacrificing an 18 year old's sentence of 6 months in some institution in exchange for a life sentence in a Bali prison with the information they would not have had without his parents loving concern. When I was 18 I thought Zao was the be all and end all of the universe, we all make mistakes. Too bad this kid is having his complete human thought train being wasted in the confides or concrete, thanks to the foul nature of those who dictate us.
We are all clay being designed by the most average of sculptors. What will be left will be the most boring art piece of all time simply titled 'Australia.' Who would want to be average?

PAIN!
I just walked down to medicare from my house, I saw a man in a pasta store look at me with contempt. I then walked past a sports store and then into medicare where the lady told me to sign the back of the form, I departed whilst thinking about how small the man was next to her. I then walked back toward home where an old lady almost forced my walking path into a bin, I moved out of the way. I arrived home quite sweaty from my journey.
Current mood:  horny
