I doubt they travel internationally, as I’m sure other countries can come up with their own stereotypes. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are moving around to each gym, training multiple times a day, every day, all over the country. The average gym always seems to have these people. But every one of these gyms has a list of people that inhabit them. Thus, I only really step into a commercial gym when traveling or if I’m on holiday. My own home setup is a power rack, barbell, a few hundred kilos of plates, some spinlock dumbbells, a bench, and a bike which is more than many gyms offer. I don’t get out to commercial gyms that often. So I will be writing letters of support in 2015 encouraging them to stay the course, no matter how many uppity experts, with their facts and logic, disagree with them. Whether it be scientists pointing out that climate change was real, economists disagreeing with the budget measures and pointing out that the carbon tax was working, or the Human Rights Commission condemning the asylum seeker policies, it is clear that our politicians need more support for their uninformed policies. Our nation’s elected leaders had a tough time in 2014 with experts from science, economics and ethics disagreeing with their policies and statements. Write more letters of support for politicians. Not being rich I’ll have to save money now for my kids’ education, they’ll just have to do without clothes, shoes and food in the meantime. Our leaders know that it isn’t realistic for Aussies to expect a free education like they had, it is much more realistic to saddle young Australians with huge education debts, or have rich parents. Now it is up to me to make sure that my kids can afford an education. Part of being entitled was the idea that we could expect an education that would give Aussies a good start at the fair go. We have to stop expecting welfare, job security, privacy, and a fair go, unless we are rich, white, coal miners. Living in a first world economy that survived the 2008 Global Financial Crisis relatively unscathed has made us complacent. Until these fantasy authors start producing more realistic stories, such as Matthew Reilly’s story about a zoo filled with dragons, then I will have to stop reading them.Įnd my expectation of entitlement and join team Australia.Īustralians have been far too entitled for far too long. Regular series were back again with tales from Fox News, The Australian, in fact just about everything published by News Corporation. There has been a lot of fantasy fiction released this past year. I think at this stage it would be easier to stop using fossil fuels just to shut these experts up. Look, I know that coal is good for humanity and that climate change is crap, but I have all of these scientist friends who work for all of these science organisations who have been pestering me. I know I’ve been putting this one off since the 1980s, but this year for sure. Gyms appreciate the extra memberships to keep their business running without having to invest in more equipment and space. Regular gym members appreciate it if New Year’s Resolutioners leave before the end of January so that they have forty-eight to fifty weeks of the year they can work out unhindered. This year I’m going to join a gym for the year and then stop attending sometime in the second week of January. Last year I tried to lose weight using the Paleo Diet, which was based on the diet that someone who failed history and biology thought our ancestors ate. This year I plan to make a few small changes, and if others follow my lead, we may have a better country by 2016. It is always best to make these plans at the beginning of the year, not at any other times throughout the year, because the earlier we make the plans, the easier it will be to forget them when it comes time to follow through. With each New Year there is a chance to change ourselves and the world around us, to make it better, to lay plans to bring about a better Australia. New Year’s Eve is around the corner and the resolutions are coming in hot.I’m looking forward to 2015.
