triple J magic

I heard this great freaky song on triple J the other day. it finished with the artiste going repetitively "animal animal animal animal animal animal animal animal..." then the song ended.

I was thinking of how to link my past few days' experiences to my idea for today's blog. there were many things that i thought of, but i thought animal animal animal song was AWESOME! anyway, before i get to that, it was funny that just yesterday, i saw a new client and she used to work as a quality control officer. now we all know quality controllers, much like accountants, auditors, actuarists and dysfunctional mothers (!!!) find fault for a living. this person was not only good at finding fault with the product she managed, but also with her own inner life/thoughts.

hey i found some good accountant jokes!

What do accountants suffer from that ordinary people don't?

Depreciation.

When does a person decide to become an accountant?

When he realizes he doesn't have the charisma to succeed as an undertaker.

(wouldnt you just love to have your faults found by this accountant)

What's an accountant's idea of trashing his hotel room?

Refusing to fill out the guest comment card.

Now, a conveyor belt, where quality controllers find their fun, is where the faulty 'item' gets pulled out from the batch and scrutinised. this can be likened to our human brain - our brains are hardwired to only pull out and scrutinise negative/bad thoughts, ignoring the positive/good thoughts. it is hardwired since cavemen times, when cavemen actually NEED to focus on their 'problems' (eg that it will be nightfall soon, the predators are coming out and i've got no shelter or fire so i damn well better start looking for one or i die). and of course, there is the somewhat startling finding that 80% of our self-talk/thoughts are negative ones, at any given time.

Back to animal animal animal song... it just stood out cos it reminded me of how perseverative and chronic our negative thoughts can be if not kept in check. now as i write this, my (very perseverative) landlady has just boomed across the hall to me for the umpteenth time to collect my washing. her booming loud voice is starting to perseverate in my brain, so here's my solution for those of you out there with perseverative (negative) thoughts - SHUT THE DAMN DOOR, turn up the Triple J radio in your room and continue perseverating, but instead to the tune of "animal animal animal animal animal animal animal animal animal aimal aimal aimal aimal aiiia aiiia aiiia aiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaa aiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.........!" ok ok ok...

*goes and collects her washing sheepishly...*

Go to http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/music/hitlist_artist.htm for the triple J hitlist, i still cannot find animal animal animal song, any help would be great!
