The future’s bright, the future’s.. em quite old looking

Local elections have wound up here in Whangarei and I have to say I’m a little disappointed with the results.

Going by the look of who got in, it seems to me that logic around these parts is to flick through the candidate book and pick the oldest, tightest, meanest looking person in it and vote for them.

(All except Vince tho’, you can strike the word ‘oldest’ from the above… ;-) )

Well, nothing beats mediocrity except for more mediocrity. I think we’ll be in for a boring old time of it for the next 4 years in these parts. Maybe as time goes on and I become more mediocre, mediocrity will be an exciting and fulfilling part of my existence.

Fairly safe to say, art, youth, vibrancy and all those other buzz words are out the window with this lot… Bring on the cobwebs.
