No. Seriously. Just No.

I remember some time ago, when the world was full of lush green grass, the trees looked brighter, the campfire was warmer and the animals were at peace.

Then Winston Peters became the head of NZ First.

In my personal opinion, that party is more like NZ Last. Wait, no, not even last. Someone give me an adjective or noun for being worse than last.
Regardless, the guy did a pretty bad job of doing things 'right'.
He lied to the press.
He wanted to let Maoris have free unrestricted access to Universities (So, if a maori failed 100% at school, they could still go to Uni)
He wanted money.
He had a funny oversized sign that had a large "No" Printed on it.
He loved talking to the press.

Anyway, the moron really screwed things up for us. It was a great celebration that occured when we found out that he was kicked out of parliment, his party not far behind. He even said that he was no longer going to be an MP. That and he had no discussions with the press to make concerning this development.
Three slight problems.
He's back.
He's talking to the press.
He's still a moron.

I'd consider writing a letter. But then he'd probably do something like hire the Mongrel Mob to break my computer. I like my computer. I can write emails on it.

In conclusion of this: No. Winston Peters, just NO. Go away. We don't like you. Seriously. U R BAD.

Now for No Number Two.

Which will come later. Stay tuned. I can assure you that something positive will eventually be typed by me which relates to politics.... Well, most likely anyway.

Maintaining the Balance between Old and New

As most people know these days, anything that has been around for a year is now technically classified as being 'out of date'.
Take the Ipod 2G. Once it was the pinnacle of 'modern' technology. Now its incompatible with 90% of the latest apps from the Itunes Store.
But taking this into account, upgrades are always possible.

The Velociraptor, once the strongest predator of the planet, now dead and gone due to becoming out of date thanks to time. Now, equip it with the latest smartphone and you've got a deadly killer on the loose.
Sounds rediculous, right? Rediculously insanely awesome more like!

On the other hand, sometimes upgrading isnt the best idea. Generally something one should into account is the fact that Old School Technology just WONT break. I've got a small analogue TV sitting on a table about five meters from my bed on the other side of a wall (sad). Greatest thing about it is that it simply continues to work considering that its about twenty years old. If not older.
But why replace it? Well, thats easy. Simply because TVNZ is switching off Analogue broadcasts and is only sending out Digital in the future.

So, we got a brand new Samsung TV. Digital recieving. Works brilliantly.

So, choosing whether or not to upgrade is your decision. In some cases, the problem is money, but gaining money is a subject upon which will be discussed at a later date.
Alternatively, you could get your friends to get it for you for Christmas or as a Birthday Gift.

Thats what I do. =P
