Rudolph and Jazz.

Two things to say. Rudoulph and this guy at work (they're different people/reindeers). Both negative things to say. Hold on, my sister just came in saying that everyone thinks I'm down. I said its because I keep writing negative things in my blog. So I've come up with one positive thing: Diana Krall.

Diana is actually a jazz singer. I found out about her while shopping, at Myer no less. It was actually the other day, just before tennis, and I went into myer to look for tennis balls. I think I mentioned that they revamped their whole sport section, and now theres nothing except sporting apparel. Not a single piece of sporting equipment in sight, at least not in the basement. So I kept walking, looking for the stuff, and I ended up in the new Virgin mega store. Diana has like, three albums in the Jazz top 10. I figured, yeah, she must be good, so I typed her name into my phone and bought some t-shirts. Totally unrelated I know, but I had to use my $25 voucher before christmas, and as if I'd pay for music.

So when I came home. Hang on, wait, it was only just today, I just looked her up and downloaded a couple of her albums. Not bad at all. I'm not really much of an expert on jazz, but its just soothing, in its use of offbeat sounds. I thoroughly recommend that everyone whos anyone gets some of her music. Just do a bit of googling (or alternatively, just ask).

Okay, onto Rudolph. I'm directly referring to the Christmas carol, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. Rudolph was an outcast, like the fat kid in school. Then he gets picked out by the popular celebrity (Santa), and he suddenly becomes the most popular kid in school. I just want to know what this says about our societies. Nothing other than his association with Santa makes Rudolph popular. How extremely superficial. Its the same as if some kid from school got on as an extra in say.... Troy. He'd be the most popular kid in school. Maybe I'm just envious.

The guy at work... his name is Joe. He's some hongky guy whos apparently some sort of doctor. But he's the kind of Doctor like.. Doctor Nick. Except instead of saying 'Hello everybody!', he'd say, 'Harlo everybody!' when commencing an operation. He can't be a doctor in Australia because he doesn't have Australian certification. I never knew you had to be qualified in Australia to practice. Maybe they just don't trust doctors with degrees from Asian countries. I know I wouldn't. You could pay people to give you certification. But surely there would be some sort of exam he could take to be registered or certified. Anyway, onto what I was going to say.

Basically, he's a lazy, selfish, poo. Sometimes, I wonder how people with his morals make their way in the world. They don't seem to feel any remorse, or regard for their fellow man. However, when I think about it, it makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint. The ones who look after themselves aren't held back by the others. It doesn't necesarily make them stronger, but they get support without giving any back. It wouldn't work if everyone was like that, but the fact that the majority of people aren't makes them thrive. *sigh*
