Home and Away; it should just go away

It is undeniable that Home and Away is a huge part of Australian Television and Broadcasting History. It is where we have all watched many young and talented, and not so talented actors grow and develop- fuelling our country with entertainment.

Wait...just wait a minute - i said entertainment? Hardly. The screenwriters seriously need some inspiration! The story lines are shocking. Someone is always getting married...and its always ending in disaster! Also, someone is always randomly dieing of cancer! Seriously now - how cliche and predictable! We need some originality brought to our free-TV screens.

It is not only some Australian TV shows though - The Bold and the Beautiful; one of America's most notorious soup operas is also guilty of being extremely repetitive and unoriginal. Not only is B&B repetitive in terms of story-line and ideas - the same people are always re-marrying - to the same people too! What i do not understand though, is how a leading female character can marry her daughters ex-husband and then divorce him...its absurd!

Regardless, the shows still appear to be popular with the general public - i guess they are into crappy story-lines. Not to worries i have my books, law & order, cold case and generally sbs and abc.

muahahaha *wishes she could write for an awesome show *

ciao.

Television Personalities. They are always big; either directly or indirectly. Ultimately, we are either going to loathe or love them. It has come to my attention that it is not only myself and my partner, Cary, whom detest the reality TV host, Peter Everett; others also share this view.

Why is it that he frustrates me so much though? To be honest this question was a waste of space and time - Oh how fitting, Peter himself is reflected by this (wait...too harsh). Look, i will just rant now about why I do not like him - in a completely irrational fashion.

Why I do NOT like Peter Everett:

- His face is too shiny
- His voice is too high pitched and nasal sounding
- He stands too close to people
- Touches complete strangers on national TV in totally inappropriate ways
- He is a host of a cooking show, yet it seems he fails to know anything about cookery
- He annoys and clearly irritates the contestants on the show
- He makes the viewer feel awkward when watching the show
- He seems fake
- I generally just want to punch him in the face

Now i hope you see why he is a waste of space on national television.



Thank you and good night.xox

Looking past the Glass Wall

So basically I am a mess. I stew and stew because I feel trapped. Trapped because I am not out in the real would working toward my future goals and the career path i wish to take. I am sick of this strict routine of waking up, going to school, being subject to idiotic people (truly sick of this), being subject to the idiotic narrow-minds of these people, treated as inferiors by a mentor (teacher), restricted by walls and fences, and the general tedious transportation to and from school.

I really have every right to feel trapped and immobile...but I am by nature open-minded and creative so I am saying goodbye to this view and I am saying hello to new ways of thinking. Deep down I know this will prove to get me through the year with fewer mental breakdowns.

Now now...before you think my statement in my first paragraph was oh so "black and white" - Let me remind you I am not the type of student to stress over my ENTER. I know it is not the end of my life. I know - I am 100% certain of this actually; my ENTER score will not define any part of my life. My goals are not ruled by a ratio or number. My future and goals are ruled by my own self determination to achieve these goals by means of anything physically and mentally possible and demanding.

One of my goals and aspirations is to become a screen-writer. I do not mind what I gain experience in writing for - either it be film, television, theatre or even Video gaming (my partner would love this especially *rolls eyes*). At current I have a few ideas for a film script. I am working on developing these ideas. THIS is what i find most invigorating - being able to have some sort of control of my goals prior to my completion of VCE.

It motivates me in everything I do. When you have a passion and you live by it, life as an 18 year old is generally made more worthwhile. I also know to achieve what I both desire and crave will call for hard work and determination. Realistically, when one is driven by a passion like myself - anything is within their grasp.

(I also realise how corny and cliche that last sentence sounded...my bad :p)

Sweet Dreams.xox
