Michael Jordan inspiration

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. Michael Jordan Read more at http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/michael_jordan.html#Ur7ltWiWPAe2KqXv.99

Joe Hockey for PM

Let's be honest - It is embarrassing having Tony Abbott as our Prime Minister, especially representing our country overseas. Tony's an example of someone who has been promoted at least one level above their ability. We can do better Australia! I suggest a Hockey/Turnbull leadership with Joe as PM and Malcolm as deputy. You know it makes sense!

Writing work

Finally a paid writer! Albeit writing training video scripts, however it's a good start and there's over a 100 of them. In the meantime I have to do the day job to get pay the mortgage and the other bills.

My film noir script 'Corruption of Innocence' needs a rewrite based on notes received. Hot high concept and the dialogue is a little 'on the nose', so this needs to be looked at.

The current script is high concept and I've mapped out the rest of the script but only Act 1 written so far. The video script job has put my main writing projects on hold for the moment. But, a good problem to have and it could lead to other things whilst also hopefully expanding my skillset.

Heatwave

11 days straight of high 30's and 40's temperatures. Worse in the West and North-West. Wouldn't be so bad if there were some clearing storms or cool winds. High temps 24 hrs per day are very draining. Very tired of this. Even the inside floorboards are hot!

Hottest Feb day in Sydney for 85 years and hottest day for 5 years. How much more can we take?

The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him... The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself... All progress depends on the unreasonable man. GEORGE BERNARD SHAW (with thanks to Ian Yorston)
