As I'm sure we're all aware, there is quite a bit of crap going on in the world. It can all get a bit depressing, but I urge everyone to keep a sense of perspective.
Yes, the word 'Muslim' has become, in the minds of too many people, synonymous with the word 'terrorist'. Yes, the fear of change and the unknown is driving voters in western nations to elect conservative governments intent on bringing about a return to the 12th century. And yes, Network Ten have decided to put on another series of Big Brother this year.*
But despite all this, we can take solace in one simple fact:
Every 1 minute and 15 seconds, the monitor of the computer I'm currently using does, for no apparent reason, a sort of vertical mexican wave.
* And yes, whenever I create a list, it will always consist of two genuine elements followed by one silly one. It's no longer funny, I just do it because it's what I do. Much like the Family First party, a joke stops being funny the second it becomes institution.

If only we could VOTE to decide whether we want another series of Big Brother :)
Perhaps a warped perspective is sometimes the best perspective of all. Awesome first post, Daniel.
