Why I'm like Tim

In case you were wondering, yes this is a story related to Tim (above) from the Big Brother 2005 house.

But first I'll explain the story behind Tim.

Tim lives in the Big Brother house and is a smart bloke. Because of this he is bullied, ostracised and not one of the men. He is different - he has brains!
All the other blokes that live with him are different. They're not as smart.

Tim gets annoyed that the humour of the other housemates is based on stupid movie quotes and that kinda thing.

Fast forward to out of the house in the big wide world but in Sydney (where Tim is from) and to me. No, I'm not being selfish but this is a blog and I am typing here.

So - at my work I am part of the minority. I am someone who is intelligent, enjoys rugby league, politics, just as Tim does. But because I'm not like everyone else who prefers to hang out in the city listening to doof doof music and drinking West Coast Coolers, I will never get a head.

I don't want head, especially not the way they prefer, I want to get ahead - not just be a schmoe.

So how does one build respect while staying true to themselves. If life is a popularity contest and work is part of it how do you become Mr Company XYZ?

That's what I'm working on. I can bitch and moan all I want but I've got to get up tomorrow for work.

Life is a bitch and you know it.

But yes, my ear is still blocked and there's nothing the doctor can do.

Tonight if I don't end up watching some league at the RSL club I might watch some of the terrible movies I bought the other day on VHS for $1 each!

You know the type - they're so terrible they're good. The other day I bought Ned (http://imdb.com/title/tt0338280/), Meatballs 4 (http://imdb.com/title/tt0104837/), Dick (http://imdb.com/title/tt0144168/) and Sgt Bilko (http://imdb.com/title/tt0117608/).

I've seen Bilko (I had a copy of it from TV but the my sister's cat shat on the video! Hmmm.. it had two other movies on there too - The Lonely Guy & Roxanne) and Meatballs 4 but the others I haven't seen. Plus, I haven't seen Meatballs 4 in at least 5 years.

Anyways, enough of my rambling - I'm off to stick some ear drops in my ear. Nice!
