It's saturday. I'm bored.
All my friends are busy today what with their commitments and such. Because of this I decided it would be a great idea to drive myself to the Jandakot airport to look at some little planes and helicoptors and that. It doesn't look much fun flying those planes, too many controls and knobs. You only really need a few buttons, up/down, left/right, start/stop. The rest are just to stop the pilot getting bored and flying into mountains I think. A really fat bloke had a ride in a plane doing tricks and loops. I wonder if they had parachutes... and would he have to wear two of them? I'm not sure if commercial pilots have parachutes but if I was sitting in a plane and I see the pilot come out of the cockpit, run for the door, unscrew it then jump out with a parachute on, I'd be a bit stressed.
I put both seasons of Extras (that ricky gervais show) onto my iPod to watch and I must say I'm enjoying myself, so much so that I got my mate tom to learn Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens just so I could get all nostalgic about it. I don't really understand pianos, why do you need so many keys for so many different notes. Songs don't have that many notes do they? I like that show, I think it would be a harsh realisation for ambitious actors how they will most likely end up in their careers. I have been wondering about extras though, if one famous person features in each episode, how did that happen. Did Ricky and Steve decide an actor then write the script hoping an actor would like it and say yes, or did they ask and actor first, without a script then write it once they said yes. I'm not sure which way.
I am tempted to write a novel. Mckenzie said she thinks its a good idea. An Australian satire of Moby Dick set in Eden Victoria (PATENT PENDING). There was this killer whale who rounded up whales for the whalers then it got the left overs. I think his name was Toby. I guess he was evolved above the rest of the whales or something. I'm sure he'd make an adorable character the reader could relate to, like free willy or lassy. Man's best friend them killer whales are. I don't like the idea, she thinks it's brilliant. I'll write the first chapter and see if I like it. I wouldn't mind being like that Eragon kid though, I'm sure he got filthy rich off that book.
If I do write a book and become famous somehow, I am very relieved I managed to get twitter.com/DaveSharp. It's good for promotion that.
Alright, until next time. Download extras, send me book ideas on twitter and watch Saving Private Ryan.
P.S my leg is better, I think it was the MindWave app, it healed me with music!

Tendons, who needs 'em?!
Well it is Saturday. Was going to go out but this knee is really restricting my ability to walk and all that, so I'm staying in to start this blog and a twitter! :)
Watched Slumdog Millionaire this morning. Saw it ages ago but only watched half of it back then. Really liked the story though. The bloke who played Jamal did a great job as well, very different to his role in Skins. I've often wondered about how places like the ones in Slumdog came about. Who builds 'em? Does the government just go "ok we're looking a bit rich, better get some slums in" then another bloke goes "I'll go get the corrugated iron!" I just don't know how they came about. I don't think you could fix poverty in a place like that, nobody has bank accounts for a start! I've been wondering about that, in Australia homeless people can't vote or get the doll. I wonder if they are allowed to break the law without punishment? If they aren't voting or paying tax surely they can spit at cops and they'll just have to walk it off like those blokes in hats in london who aren't allowed to smile.
I also didn't understand that bollywood style dance number in the credits it was really confusing. If anyone wants to explain to me why bollywood movies end like that please email me asap! I'm intrigued.
Oh I wish my knee would hurry up and heal then leave me alone, I want to go running again. People always say exercise is addictive and I was like, nah talking shit (I hated school sport, just wasn't much fun) but now I've realised from gym and going for jogs you do get a tad addicted.
As I discussed with a few mates this week, I seriously think humans don't need legs anymore. We've invented the wheelchair, the wheelchair ramp and the electric wheelchair, we just don't need legs anymore. They get caught in things like wood chippers, they get all knocked about and painful, they're a hindrance, get rid of 'em! The mermaids had the right idea, in Harry Potter them ones in the lake looked pretty happy without legs, they didn't even have jobs or nothin! Not having legs created an underwater Utopia in that case. Even if we can't evolve some flippers, fawn legs like that Tumnus bloke in narnia would be pretty bad-ass.
In hindsight I should have waited until my day was over to write this blog as I plan to write one each day and I'm sure it is wise to wait until the day is over, so that I actually have something remotely interesting to talk about. Hopefully as the days go on it will become less diary like and I will be more confident pondering things and discussing this and that.
Until next time, please start a Twitter, play FarmVille and download plenty of great music by Camera Obscura.
