The Bubble Ok back to whats being going on in the world.

Lets just take a step back, recently I was
accused of living in a bubble. As in
a " A protective, often isolating envelope or cover"
previously i was living on the bubble "an annoying
position in poker which takes you to the closest
point without winning anything, ie. the ultimate
loser" But during that period i slipped from outside
the bubble into the bubble. Its like being in
a nutshell.

As a result of being in this bubble, i was
isolated from some of the major world events.
"Major" events is somewhat of a term which is
thrown around quite loosely i believe, there
are so many , how can they all be major ? At
some point these major events have to become minor
events, and at that point Im forgiven for not
knowing about them. So i was at lunch, and ppl
were talking about Live 8. There is a classic
saying my teacher told us at school "it is is
better to keep your mouth shut, and let people
think your a fool, than to open it and reveal
all doubt". This would be one instance where
i would have been best served to apply this rule.
You see i didn't know anything about Live 8? And
ppl at lunch thought i was joking, but each subsequent
question just showed how deep i was in the bubble,
and they were shocked. In fact the only thing i had
heard of live 8 was when i saw it was in the tv guide
and assumed it was another reality show . But
after finding out it was G8 related, it would
seem unlikely that it was reality tv show.

Unless it was something like, G8 meets BB:

USA (bush): "id like to vote Jacque Chiraq for 2 points.

BB: "you have to give a reason ?"

USA (bush): "well when we're in the kitchen during lunch,
he brings out these really smelly cheeses, and he doesnt
clean up properly afterwards, and the utensils still have
these smelly cheesy parts on the knives and other cutlery,
plus he has that really annoying French laugh. Also he
is a little hostile, yesterday he told Tony Blair, his country
had the second worst food in europe behind switzerland, i
mean who eats frogs legs and brains anyway, he is so hypocritical."

BB: How does this make you feel ?

USA (bush): Well , it makes it hard for me to express myself,
and he is also too intelligent for me, so i find it hard to
relate to what he is saying. I asked him the other day, and
I said are you with me or against me ? And he said sometimes
i will be with you, other times i will be against you. Like
what the hell does that mean anyway? He said there is a thing
called a grey area. I said like my hair ? And he just left.
I hate the french...

BB: Ok you can leave now george.

USA (bush): One more thing BB, with these automatic sliding doors,
it feels a lot like a space ship sometimes, and you sound a
lot like Leonard Nimoy , is that you Leonard ?

BB: Leave !!!

USA (bush) : sorry ....

Is the bubble that bad , i wonder ? Well ok i missed out on
a couple of events. I wonder whether all that singing made
a difference, i dont see why they couldnt raise money at the
same time as well, kill 2 birds with one stone. Ok wat they
collect dwarfs into insifinicance in relation to the debt,
but still its something.

I now read www.news.com.au more regularly, i used to read
it all the time, except that was when i worked and i had
more time then. So feel free to talk to me about current
events, im hip, im cool.  ¶ 5:46 PM
