The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.


Laneway. Just off Russell Street, Sandy Bay. November 2011.

Theme Thursday today brings a lot of promise.

TOMORROW, you see. There is always TOMORROW. TOMORROW offers all the opportunities in the world. Whatever happens today, TOMORROW awaits.

TOMORROW it might not rain. TOMORROW I might stay dry.

TOMORROW I will start losing weight. TOMORROW I will get myself fit. TOMORROW I educate myself, smarten up, tart up and address all of those niggly little things that have constrained me up to this point.

TOMORROW I will quit drinking so much coffee. TOMORROW I stop eating all that junk. TOMORROW I will tidy up my desk and finish up that work that’s been hanging around for weeks.

TOMORROW I will walk more upright, look people in the eye and tackle everything with 110 percent. TOMORROW I will be more attractive to the opposite sex, smell better, smile better, run faster, leap higher, swim further and sing in a more harmonious voice.

TOMORROW I will be a more generous tipper, lover, brother, husband and father.

TOMORROW.

There is always TOMORROW.

You do realise that tomorrow will never arrive, for when it gets here tomorrow is still on the horizon.
Sorry, it didn't get here, for today is today.

Can't stop laughing about the smell better one. I have so many tomorrow wishes and also keep waiting for tomorrow to come and for me to make those changes. I am thinking I will have to do them when tomorrow does come. Hubby will be so happy.

Although I guess that today is another day of which nothing much will be accomplished. I just love today and know that someday tomorrow will not be a day away.

I think you have a lot of great ideas for Tomorrow's Theme Thursday today. Thanks for playing with this weeks theme.

God bless.

You can never do anything tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes.

A quote from me:

"The only thing that cannot successfully be put off until a later time is procrastination."

Great post, and I'm with Brian on the title.

Roddy, it has been and gone.

Mrsupole, more people should try to smell better.

Angelmay, every day is tomorrow somewhere.

Hvinhell, they should award medals.

Brian, that is Chuchill on the mugs who voted him in!

Silver Fox, I dunno, I reckon I've worked with people who have managed that...

Zongrik, madness!

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

This is the moon. Have I mentioned how much I adore the zoom on my camera? It's Theme Thursday you see, and after last week's limp effort, I have been thinking about how I might redeem myself. Then I clicked on the topic and discover that it was BUTTON. We've been hearing a lot about the moon in the past couple of weeks. Apparently some fellas went up there and played golf and what-not forty-odd years ago. The desire to get to the moon, however, was not simply about enhancing opportunities for Meg and Mog titles and skirting local planning by-laws in the construction of new and innovative golf courses. No, all of your Sputniks , "One small steps" and freeze dried ice cream was about one thing , and one thing only : MAD Now, I don't mean mad in terms of "bloke breaks record for number of scorpions he can get up his bum", no I mean MAD as in Mutual assured destruction . When I was a young man you see, there was a lot of talk about the type of m...

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral...
