Rosy, we all come here for the same reasons. To be refreshed and to refresh. Oh, and sometimes to gloat or snivel. But they're related ideas.
Carter's posts are refreshing, even the whingey ones because he is extravagant with his ideas. And he explores the poetry of the moment, albeit in a blasphemous way. (I love that.) He's not just pushing the boundaries of niceness he's pushing his own limits of understanding and expression.
Have a look at Jake King on the park. Or Action. These blokes are in a dirty mood but they contribute, probably because of it. Anger lifts them. They push their own boundaries.
My late uncle used to say "Nil carborundum". Don't let the bastards grind you down. I say - enjoy them.
When I posted that thread about "Smell the terror" I could smell it myself. 2013 is a year for confidence for us. Not blind faith. The writing is on the wall. If we don't mature in August of 2013 we will destroy the frauds of 2014. But we will probably mature this year.
Action Jackson, is quietly rewriting history by his example. The only bloke I can compare him to is that spud Kevin Sheedy, a dud back pocket player who cost us the 1972 premiership by his *smile* disposal. He kicked three straight playing centre the next (victorious) year. (But he didn't win the Norm Smith, punters.) Daniel Jackson takes the park relaxed in 2013 because he can see it coming.
