cityrail- sometimes we do have a choice

A while back I made a group on Facebook called "cityrail-like you have a choice". And yes, while I still stand by the point that, we literally, don't have a choice in whether we want to use cityrail or not, we do have a choice in how we behave on public transport.

It irks me so that many people (students) have no chivalry, especially to the likes of elder people, pregnant women (or men, i mean you never know these days do you ;)), disabled or crippled and people with children- actually, people in general. It's sad that people forget, that, we aren't paying for the tickets. We don't have the rights to push general public into standing. And, fuck, it's not as if they aren't grateful when we give our seats up, they say thank you and insist that we "really didn't have to", but in reality, they shouldn't even be thanking us at all. Those seats are their seats.

5 words: FUCK YOU PEOPLE WITH SLURPEES!

Seriously, if you're retarded enough to spill one of those on a train, you definately don't deserve to drink one. Just saying.

I think the one thing everybody forgets is that, yes, the staff of cityrail are there to "serve" us, hence calling the train system "services", but that doesn't mean they want everyone to treat the train like a rubbish bin. Surely it's not that hard to carry your wrappers off and on a train. Does plastic, foil or paper really weigh that much?

Don't even get me started on graffiti. There's no such thing as good graffiti, actually, that's a lie :). There is, but none in Sydney. I mean, if you're going to vandalise public property make it look good! Nobody, let me repeat, nobody! gives a rat's ass if you're "street" name is .... (well, I can't even read half of the wording in graffiti, so yer....?) Apparently, people get adrenaline from doing graffiti. Really? You can't find anything else that gives you an adrenaline rush? You stand there in a dark alley-way with a spray can writing random gibberish.... Go do drugs or something. (I do not support the consumption of drugs.... or do I? ;))

Lastly, have you ever wondered why cityrail refuses to send the new trains into The Shire?
It's because people in The Shire do EVERYTHING listed above. They abuse the general public, vandalise public property, leave rubbish on the trains and spill sticky drinks all over the floors! So, don't you dare complain about not have "air con", assholes, you bought it on yourself! Want better trains? Start treating trains with respect, you cankerblossoms on society.

In the end, so cityrail makes mistakes and sometimes lets us down...really down. But, hey, we expect it. I love the fact that in Sydney we can make cityrail jokes, they're as fantastic as "your mum" and "get back into the kitchen, women" jokes. But, in the end, when you look at it retrospectively, it's not the system that lets us down, rather ourselves.

Technology.

IT you son of a bitch.


I hate technology, not for it's social benefits but for the effect they have now on education. We have access to anything- we can speak to people across the world (chatroulette), view places we can't afford to visit in reality (google earth) and access information we never could, even 2 years ago.


And that's it. We know too much.

Now, with this new age of technology we are EXPECTED to know more. Teachers can now ask us harder questions, and with technology, we should know the answer.

Moving forward may help solve problems but it also brings forward new ones. Lets just hope our brains don't explode from information overload.

I hope the government is willing to spend more money on the health system. Be prepared for more impaired vision, more fucked up spines and early onset of arthritis from excessive knuckle cracking.

WELCOME TO THE NEW TECHNOLOGICAL AGE, MOTHERFUCKERS.

Fighter.

Why am I always the one who folds? The one who fights but then backs down?
It shits me, makes me angry. I never get my way and when I do... it just feels so wrong. I feel guilty. Like my conscience is too strong. That what someone else feels is more important than how crap I will feel.

The one time I did say something, completely backfired. Full of regret and hate for that moment.

I wish I knew how to hold a grudge. A wish I could be angry at someone for more than one day. One day does nothing. One day means I can screw you over again and again cause you can never NOT forgive me.

I feel weak. I should stand up for myself. Like when someone yells at me or torments me I should say something back, protect myself, but I don't. I just take it.

And people judge me. But they will never know......
until they've walked in my shoes, experienced my life, breathed the air I've breathed and the hardships I've suffered.

But we can't all be grudge holders, can we? Some MUST fold. It's just the way life is.... and I suppose I always will fold my cards...

I'm Blue....

I'm sure we all have one friend where hanging out with them is taking a risk. You never know when you go in for the "hi" whether they'll be pissed off or happy.

Yes, I'm talking about temperamental people.

I thoroughly dislike temperamental people. It's as if every time I hang out with them when there in one of there depression stages I, myself, can't be happy. It just feels wrong and completely drags down my day. It's like being happy after someone close to you has passed away, you know at some point your going to have to smile but at the time, you can't.

But you know what annoys me the most? The fact that these people ruin the best days. You might have something wonderful organised, but at the end of the day if there is that one person with you who, to put it crudely, fucks your day up the arse all that planning means nothing.

And, this little rant on moody people is not at all implying I'm not one, occasionally. But at least, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not one all the time. (only when people piss me off)

:D

You know what I hate... When your really tired and you have to pee, urgently. You forget to put up the toilet lid.... well you see what I'm getting at...
It's fun sitting in your own piss *sigh*
