DOT POINTS FOR GLOOMSDAY

When I hear an electric saw or grinder or similar device roaring I often think of what it would feel like to have my hand or some of my fingers cut off.
I get hungry and tired but I don't want to get too fat.
My way of living contributes to the whole corporate greed thing and climate chaos. I abhor the madness of our governments and the corporations and would like to make a difference but in reality I am tied into this consumer lifestyle.
I work for cash flow - cash flow work's me.
I think I am ok with the idea of the whole world ending. Like what is the point anyway?
How come most people are not very friendly or very tolerant? I got lost with all of that.

Pithy Quote

On May 15th 1870, Edward Kelly (age 15) was brought up before Dr Heath and Mr Perry in the Benalla Court on a charge of Highway Robbery Under Arms. The prosecution applied for a remand of seven days in order to gather their witnesses. The remand was granted and young Kelly was taken back to the lockup. During the hearing, the court was crowded with an audience who come to watch the fate of the young bushranger. It was described by the press how Kelly would look around the courtroom and smiled with a sense of bravado and he assumed a 'jaunty air'. While in his cell, it was reported that he 'sang like a bird' and evidently considered himself a character to be admired.
