    There's so many other people out there helping people, doing awesome things in communities and they pick some wanna be texan cow chaser.
    Who decieded that shit...?
    "Talent must be a fanatical mistress. She's beautiful; when you're with her, people watch you, they notice. But she bangs on your door at odd hours, and she disappears for long stretches, and she has no patience for the rest of your existence: your wife, your children, your friends.
    She is the most thrilling evening of your week, but some day she will leave you for good. One night, after she's been gone for years, you will see her on the arm of a younger man, and she will pretend not to recognize you."

    i don't mind Casey Stoner being the Young Australian of the Year.

    i do think that THE Australian of the Year award should go to someone who makes a deeper contribtion though.
    they do seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel with a country music singer...


    edit: unless he brought the rains / rescued 20 children from a burning orphanarium or some other feat that i'm not aware of.
