I know right. A spectacular film. I need to see it again as I think I really only saw the surface. Terrence Malick is a dude.

Good God man. What the hell did I just watch?
What a staggeringly, monumentally good film.

And yet we must be firm against woolly thinking.
My response to Intense Guy would be to ask him how he knew things, and where you could also go to learn things.
If he is still dismissive, then he is a fucker.

Good post man. I think we’re all Intense Guy sometimes. It feels good to stand for something (and you have to stand for -something-, right?), but somehow it never seems to work out well. To do it with grace & dignity — now that is an art.

Hi Bro
Good read. I have come to understand better while in Perth what we are as New Zealanders. The College where I work and my church are very very multicultural. But as a Kiwi I am not the dominant culture here. Yet there are many Kiwis and we have a good reputation and as a group we are recognised for certain traits. I have grown to like that feeling. I was at a working bee with three other kiwis the other day and the feeling we had together was awesome. I had imagined I would blend in here, now I am happy to stand out.

Good post, yeah interesting that it goes right down to the terra firma. My concept of New Zealand is inextricably tied to images of windswept, sun-drenched mountains & coastlines.

Such an odd truth that you feel much more of a New Zealander once you’ve left. In particular I remember the Waitangi Day Pub Crawl, the Christchurch Memorial Service & the RWC final as moments of strong national identity.

Heh, actually, one more — Whaka Yeah! My brain lit up like a Christmas tree with all the icons flashing through that. I was recently at a Halloween party in South London, and one guy came dressed as David Bain. Needless to say: Legend.

@davebroome: “In a way, it’s a free market victory – the wider internet did not provide easy discussion, event-planning and photo sharing. Universal identity, aggregation, blah blah, were not well solved” – yeah good point man. The irony here is I wanted to click ‘Like’ on your comment. Oh Facebook.
