WElllll....its happened. I finally got off my arse. i got a second call back to this job.some technical call center for ADSL and dial up support... FUCK!!!! I almost feel like a public servant, and i havent even got the fucking job!! oh well. dead tired and broke, but feeling upbeat which is somewhat unusual, being the morose creature that i have been of late.
I delved into my tape collection, and came up with this old song that i used to be in love with. its fucking fantastic when you rediscover music. The Stranglers, Golden Brown. awesopme song. It almost makes heroin sound appealing, "Golden Brown, texture like sun. Lays me down, and with my mind she runs, through out the night, no need to fight, never a frown, with Golden Brown".
Pre 1974 Rock and Roll.... i love it.
The creations of Pete Shelly, The Buzzcocks, Magazine. Jefferson Airplane. I will never be able to listen to White Rabbit without thinking of a fat Benecio Del Toro naked in a tub holding a bowie knife, screaming " Throw the toaster in when it reaches that fantastic note where the rabbit eats its own head!!!!" ...viva Fear and Loathing Las Vegas...
My first Pixies tape. The Psychadlic Furs. one of the most underrated rock groups ever. far more people should know who they are. its funny though, of all the more modern rock groups, my favourites are so often Australian... I really hope thats notqualifying as patriotism because then i would have to have myself hung, shot, gutted and run over by a Buick. I dont mean to sound like a wanker to anyone who is patriotic, but i have horrible memories of going to the southo during the olympics and not being able to see anything but a waving sea of beer-soaked mullets, singlets, stubbies and thongs regurgitating the phrase OZZIE! OZZIE! OZZIE, OI!OI!OI! over and over...
And then at two in the morning they all crawl home to their delapidated white washed house, frumpy wife, and their three bucktoothed, be-mulleted offspring. Then im sure that a respectable portion of them get up at twelve, scratch their arse, put on their best going-to-the-dole-office Footy shorts, throw down a brekky beer, then go to Centrelink to get their cheque, then walk next door to the southo to spend it, using the Olympics as an excuse. Ironic isnt it? an event that celebrates the peak of human physical achievement is an excuse for fat forty somethings to deposit a repectable portion of their income into their beer-gut. Im not going to say that this is any particular group of people, but this sickens me. People who whinge bitch and complain loudly, and spread their third-rich bullshit about immmigrants, Aboriginals,Jews, Refugees...
And apparently this is what we Australians are meant to be pround of...
this is what were meant to be Patriotic about. fuck that.
I ahd a cab driver the other night who actually pissed me off so much i couldnt speak to him. It started normally enough, talking about current affairs etc. and then he brought up a house fire over in tuggeranong. From there he proceeded to rant to me about how we should close the borders, expel any refugees, clean up on visas and, this is the one that really got to me, " We shouldve done what they did in Tasmania when we first got here... Exterminate all those fucking Abo's and then this country whould be better." WHAT THE FUCK!!! if i wasnt pissed at the time i would remembered his driver number but unfortunately....
ive been here for a while inflicting my opinions on you so i will give it a rest.
CHOW
