lexe/quote..<<..massive coronary at the age of 52>>

yeah my dad too..
never lived long enough to retire
[we*..one in 5 that die..before collecting super..is why the system..works]..living long enough..to borrow back*..our super..via credit cards..and insane usury rates..in lue of a working wage

<<many children..as they grew older find an increasing interest in precisely those things they had rejected.>>..

especially in those secret things
our parents rejected[or simply didnt talk about]
a fertile thread that would be..the unspeakable topic

<<<..people in studying their family trees and the overall
popularity of genealogy in libraries - is growing rapidly.>>

mainly cause the intel-adgencies
want US..to join their info dots..info is power
same same facebook..music libraries..sites etc..all Intel..[and why i was reluctant to write anything..plus it feels like gossip for me.]

<<difficult to relate
to new surroundings>>..not for me..place = nature
the relating is personal..men seem to be competing to be alpha male..[even if rejecting the obvious method/means]..and women who knows

i missed
the socialization..thing ..peers do

<<moving into their first homes was an
important psychological step>>..but not near as important as learning to relate..with other..and i hate sports..gossip..drinking drunks movie stars faulse godheads

..but i bring the thread down.

bless your open heart lex
cheers dear

Dear OUG,

You've got the knack of putting your own
take on things and doing it so well. It's
a gift. You remind me of the following
poem that I remember reading years ago -
by Digby Wolfe. I liked it so much that I
made a copy of it and will now share it with
you:

"Here's to the kids who are different:
the kids who don't always get A's,
the kids who have ears twice the size of their
peers', or noses that go
on for days.
Here's to the kids who are different, the
kids who are just
out of step,
the kids they all
tease, who have
cuts on their knees
and whose sneakers
are constantly wet.
Here's to the kids who
are different, the kids
with a mischievous
streak,
for when they have grown,
as history has shown,
it's their difference that makes
them unique."

Take care, unique man.

U 2 lexe
your one great sheila
but even would..be a great bloke..

you live in the real world..which is
as i see...as the joke..real-world..what does that mean

god didnt make australia..
nor the never-lands..[nor nederland][nor holland]..
nor any other state or country..by name..but by nature*
i see my nature reflected clearly..from my dutch family..[in which include every dutchie i have ever met]..

the fruit falls
not far from its parental tree..generally speaking]..

but i feel..by virtue..of being effectively outcast from our ancestoral home..strangers to our own..if you will..cerates the opening for lesser bonds..

[like espri-de'gore]..nationalism
or the old blue school-tie..or mate/shift..or comrade in arms..the anzac spirit..

or even dire-versions
divisions..of age sex race belief
or non even non ..absent or wrong belief..

[or so..i feel to believe...
at the time of writing]

anyhow me mate..at heart
gotta zip me zipper..on my ever more wordy art

sorry to keep going
but this might relate

<<..This trajectory isn’t entirely surprising.>>

<<In the last two generations, centrist culture in the United States has taken on and been enriched by novel, countercultural ideas, movements, and products, including civil rights, workplace safety laws, community antismoking campaigns, “green” architecture and cars, and the widening acceptance of gays (even in the military).>>

ie generic identifiers/team spirit
we may link into..inlue..insures a weak replacement
for that we left behind..that which shapeth the 'man'..peers

<<>>And the digital has altered what’s inside
the categories “outsider,” “indie culture,” and “niche market”:

..the Web has increased visibility at the margins because every rebel or amateur can publish or post his or her opinion.

There is also a chance of anyone’s output going viral.
That in itself changes what is considered outsider or marginal and how “fringe culture” operates:..alternative or subcultures no longer assume their messages are for the few or the like-minded.

The idea of a mainstream is, at the very least, a useful cliché. Yet it becomes less of a cliché when we recognize that all cultures—the establishment culture included—are dynamic.>>..

or something like that
the dynamics can threaten..those who only have their groupies..their club..their cliche*

Dear OUG,

I'm a firm believer that our present is linked
with our past. I shared my thoughts on this
topic previously:

http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=5648

(back in Feb. 2013).

I quoted from the Lithuanian poet, Al Zolynas:

"I come from a tribe of nature worshippers,
pantheists, believers in faeries, forest sprites,
and wood nymphs, who heard devils in their windmills,
met them in the woods, cloven-hooved and dapper
gentlemen of the night, who named the god of thunder,
who praised and glorified bread, dark rye waving
waist-high out of the earth, and held it sacred,
wasting not a crumb, who spent afternoons
mushrooming in forests of pine, fir, and birch, who
transformed Jesus from his wooden cross, transformed him
into a wood-carved, worrying peasant, raised him on a
wooden pole above the crossroads where he sat with
infinite patience in rain and snow, wooden legs apart,
wooden elbows on wooden knees, wooden chin in wooden
hand, worrying and sorrowing for the world ..."

"These people who named their sons and daughters after
amber, rue, fir tree, dawn, storm, are the only people
I know who have a diminuitive form for God Himself -
Dievulis, "God-my-little-buddy."

"Any wonder I catch myself speaking to trees, flowers, bushes -
these eucalyptus so far from Northers Europe - or that I
bend down to the earth, gather pebbles, acorns, leaves,
boles, bring them home, enshrine them on mantelpieces or
above porcelain fixtures in corners, any wonder I grow
nervous in rooms and must step outside and touch a tree,
or sink my toes in the dirt, or watch the birds fly by."

I have a strong kinship with the author.
As I stated earlier - we're from the same ancestry.
It has made me the person I am today.
For that I am grateful.

Thank you to Lexi for the kind words but still no more politics because it causes unhappy people because of corruption and argument and abuse and racism and other bad things. My word is Oz is nice and great country to me and all my family and you are a nice person to.
