Australia Day, Or, What Is It We're Really Celebrating?

Explanation: It's Australia Day tomorrow, January 26. The day this big island became a nation or some crap. They tried to teach us in primary school what it was all about, but I've long forgotten.

But that's not what we celebrate tomorrow. Tomorrow will be about cooking sausages on a barbeque and drinking beer with your mates. And then forgetting about the sausages and letting them burn. And then feeding them to the dog. But it's okay, because another mate just turned up with more sausages. And then it starts raining, so you abandon the bbq and head inside to watch cricket on the TV (and your girlfriend brings you drinks when you or any of your mates ask).
That sums up all of Australia's culture.

And this is why I want to leave as soon as I can.

At my high school, we're all encouraged to do sport as a subject. They made it compulsory in yr 8 and 9. But is music or art compulsory? No. And if you can't play sport, then it's because you're just not trying. Not because you don't understand the game, or you just hate it because it's a total waste of time. You're just not trying.

WELL FUCK AUSTRALIA.
