Politics as a vocation | The Possum Bistro
https://theawesomepossum.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/politics-as-a-vocation
Thinking about Dustin and Evangeline. Politics as a vocation. The recent ministerial pay revisions have stirred the latest round of public debate, which I’ve been observing and holding my tongue – that is, until I read some posts that have begun to steer the conversation in a more productive direction. My humble comments, hopefully, will contribute to this part of the discourse, and not be mischaracterised as part of the pro- or anti-government chorus. If we can answer this question (and it is far from c...

Thinking about Dustin and Evangeline. Stephenie LaGrossa from Survivor Palau – the only woman on the pathetic Ulong Tribe who has pulled her weight and carried the tribe up till now – one tough, smouldering chick! Reminds me of Fergie from Black Eyed Peas too) You go, woman! The Hand That Rocks The Grave. The recent controversy over Terri Shiavo’s right to live has embroiled not only her husband, Michael, her parents, but the evangelicals, religious right, Congress, all the way up to Bush. For the religi...

Arts for all – an evening in Prague | The Possum Bistro
https://theawesomepossum.wordpress.com/2010/06/10/arts-for-all-an-evening-in-prague
Thinking about Dustin and Evangeline. Arts for all – an evening in Prague. The vandalisation of the arts. It is observed that the prices of admission for events related to the arts have been marked high, thus automatically access to the kind of sensory, intellectual, and spiritual experience that the arts offer is reduced to members of the middle-to-upper middle and upper classes. How are these prices justified, we ask? Are you shocked at the poverty of truth they suffer from? High ticket prices not only...

Thinking about Dustin and Evangeline. You can’t be serious. What’s with the articles on The Daily Beast bashing Ayn Rand these days? Allen Barra’s piece,. Capitalism’s Wicked Witch. 8220;Any objectivity about the founder of Objectivism is impossible. I’ll lay my cards on the table Ayn Rand and her followers have given me the creeps since high school.”.

Sleep | The Possum Bistro
https://theawesomepossum.wordpress.com/2010/05/04/sleep
Thinking about Dustin and Evangeline. I hear the door open behind me, but I remain still, becoming extremely conscious of my breathing and heaving of the chest. The familiar feeling of being watched while resting besets me, and instead of whirling around instantly to greet her, I choose – or is it a choice? 8211; and I devote all energies to give her the comfort and the peace of mind she needs to be able to sleep well into the night.

To thrive in chaos | The Possum Bistro
https://theawesomepossum.wordpress.com/2010/06/08/to-thrive-in-chaos
Thinking about Dustin and Evangeline. To thrive in chaos. If someone ever told you today that taking a flight is a leap of faith, you would call that person crazy. Then we must be mad. Back in the Middle Ages, no matter how much you paid, you wouldn’t be able to travel from Amsterdam to Prague in two hours. Just count your blessings to get enough space to sleep on the airport floor for $1.4k in the twenty-first century. Are the other passengers guilty? Trackback ( 0 ). Comments ( 0 ).

To Persecute is Sin | The Possum Bistro
https://theawesomepossum.wordpress.com/2007/10/26/to-persecute-is-sin
Thinking about Dustin and Evangeline. To Persecute is Sin. Bacchus would have been crucified in this age of ours. I chanced upon NMP Thio Li-Ann’s. One – there is nothing fundamental about the values that the government now champions to be ‘natural’ of our culture. Furthermore, she rampages on with her tirade against homosexuality, miserably failing to construct a persuasive, objective argument as her religious prejudices as a Christian seep through the facade. Obviously, she makes the effort to hyphenat...

Leave the light on | The Possum Bistro
https://theawesomepossum.wordpress.com/2010/04/29/leave-the-light-on
Thinking about Dustin and Evangeline. Leave the light on. When the flame is doused, the world loses another light. After all, are we to be content with our full potential as human beings – thinking, sentient beings – to be merely capable of working like an automaton, a cog in the great machinery, in the service of a soulless, gargantuan monstrosity? And that the only means acceptable is to start planning ahead as early as possible, with stated objectives at 5-year, 10-year, 15-year marks? How can we blam...

Auschwitz | The Possum Bistro
https://theawesomepossum.wordpress.com/2010/06/05/the-mark-of-death
Thinking about Dustin and Evangeline. Yet the will of the human spirit to live cannot be doubted, and it is in the darkest of circumstances that this belief in the value of living with dignity would appear in the brightest illumination. Death’s appeal found resonance in those who threw themselves onto electrified fences the moment they realised their fate, but many others steeled their resolve to make it through this worldly hell. All is normal. The cycle of death that kept going in Auschwitz –...For me,...
