About Me

Okay... So this is how the internet and it's technology has assesed my personality....messy, tough, disorganized, fearless, not rule conscious, likes the unknown, rarely worries, rash, attracted to the counter culture, rarely irritated, positive, resilient, abstract, not a perfectionist, risk taker, strange, weird, self reliant, leisurely, dangerous, anti-authority, trusting, optimistic, positive, thrill seeker, likes bizarre things, sarcastic.And this is more the way I have assesed aspects of my personality. It's kinda scary but I think the computer beat me :( .......I am notoriously unconventional, but still kind of old fashioned. Way too nostalgic, but I prefer the present. I have big ideas, but no idea of how to use them. I like mistakes, just not all the particular ones that I make. I reckon I really have no aptitude in the field of music, but I love it to bits. Like everyone, I can be in the doldrums at times, but it only helps to accentuate the times which are really awesome. Far into the furture, I hope to own a Beetle once more, work as some sort of writer maybe, be surrounded in music, hang out with the same tops mates, and with a few new ones, in the same tops city, all whilst holding the wonderful hand of the girl that, even as I type this, makes me want to be better than I thought I ever wanted to be. To say that I would be happy if these things came to be, would be a masterpiece of understatement.

Dear.......

You could heed all the calls and all the signs. You can push it back until you push up the daisies. The sight isn't hazy but the floor is enticing. The Earth like cake, and you it's icing. This busine...

Unfinished and I don't know....

There isn't any precedent that you could ever show me. It happens and it radiates. The feeling sits and permeates all the crevices and craters of the landscape. Vowels and consonants. I used...

There's no denial. I miss you mate, and all times you did create. The welcome home, the buried bone, but now it seems I'm all alone. What's that you say??? Alone?....No Way! The memories are here to s...

The morning of two eleven o'clocks

There's merging and indicating, and it must be Tuesday morning. All the indications are that the Sun will be moving on as surely as I will stay in the land of yawning. Brutal in her majesty, I wince a...

That night, upon request, I could re-enact.

It's 8:05pm. It's Saturday night. It's cats and dogs. This is Sydney. My futile attempts at finding a good parking spot have left me with what is a relatively long meander from Moreton Bay to George S...

Micropachycephalosaurus

Something happened the other day that reminded me of how much I used to love dinosaurs. Like when you're an impressionable little grommet of about 8 or 9 years of age. For some reason, around that tim...

The sweet prospect of change

Far out. I am really not getting anywhere. I thought that by now I'd be halfway to where it is I am going. But I can't even find my keys! Poops McGee. My tactic, which I will finally divulge to all wh...

The day in lieu.

Well......it's 1:08pm and here I am enveloped in flannel, polyester, and cotton. My day off. Not Ferris Bueller's. Mine. No Cameron, no Sloane. I'm alone. Pretty fucking bored too. When yesterday was ...

The noise unhappy makes when you hold it up to a megaphone.

No energy for fighting. Yet I won't stop biting. This waiting game has me waiting on a change. And all that ever happens is waiting in this life. I know that shit is happening coz I can see it with my...
