Liquid Desire.

I just got back from the Salvador Dali exhibition. It was amazing, they played a 5 minute or so short animation that he created, it was incredible!!
I could not recommend this to enough people!!
I enjoyed the small photography section the most, but there was lead pencil drawings there from when he was 13 years old that were prodigious to say the least.. I suppose that is exactly what they were really, looking at what he turned into.
I got asked for if I had a concession card when I was paying for my ticket, i proceeded to pull Pani's Steiner student card out of my wallet from about 5 years ago when he actually went to school, the man behind the counter looked at it and went yeah cool $18. I was stoked! For the record I was wearing a hoody and a beaine and most of my face was covered with hair, I in no way look like Pani!! haha

Doubt Full.


I am in Melbourne, I have less than $200 in my account, yet I still find it appropriate to buy books. I have ventured into so many books shops since I have been here, at least one a day and found so many books that I have left on the shelves due to a lack of money and the fact that I will not be able to fit them all in my carry on bag back to WA. It is coming to a point where I am almost literally starving for knowledge. I am about to go and view a few photography exhibitions, real keen..

Everything we knew we we're not.







"I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the Stern Fact, the Sad Self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from."

I am in Melbourne, I arrived yesterday morning at about 6:30AM. It is cold, it has been raining and windy. I am going to go and see The Academy Is and Anberlin in about an hour.
After leaving Bali I spent 6 days in Bunbury working, then drove back to Perth and flew to Melbourne where I am now spending 8 days. I then fly back to WA and then I will decide from there.
My life is currently exactly what I want it to be, the only problem I am having with it is the fact that my current mode of life will not be a constant. I want to see more airports, I want to drive more roads, surf more waves, read more books. At the moment that is exactly how I am living my life, I do the things I want to do, when I want to do them. There is nothing restricting me, I am currently free from all constraints of moden life, except that of money, this is the only unavoidable factor for me if I want to acheive the things I plan on doing. If I had no dreams I would have no need to earn more than what I needed to eat, nor would anyone.

I am in the process of leaving WA. I am not sure when but I know it will be before the end of the year. I am returning to Byron to most probably pick up where I left off and probably deal with a few things that I really have no desire to deal with haha.

My life is as amazing.

Rabies.

Every time I have to get a needle I work myself into a frezny, its a completely uncontrollable state brought on by a completely irrational fear. I start to laugh constantly and just have trouble operating properly for sometime before and after. I suppose that this is why I put off actually getting a rabies shot for so long. But after some careful deliberation I decided that getting the vaccine was the best thing to do. When I was at the hospital talking to the doctor she said that if the virus actually set in there would be a 100% chance that I would die, I came to the conclusion I had made the right decision. It did not make getting a needle any easier though. I also have to go back for a second shot in 7 days and then another in 21 days.
I received two shots last night, one in each arm. I have not seen the dog that bit me for a few days but next time I do there is a good chance I will kick it in the face!

Inspecting the wound.

The drugs.

The first needle.Needle one. Needle two.

Winds Of Change.


Its been a while since I have written anything substantle on here, not sure if anyone can be bothered but its actually pretty mental!


It is absurd the things we hold onto so that people can identify us to a personality. The idea that we are living and being observed as what we think is correct to us, or pleasing to other people.
Some times I wish I was able to let go of my self a little more and do things that I consider incorrect, not incorrect in a right or wrong sense of the word but incorrect in the way that I consider certain things incorrect to my particular way of life.
On my way back to my accommodation this morning I saw two guys I have spent some time with growing up and another guy that I know informally through association of other people I grew up with. We started talking about the time we had spent in Bali and they proceeded to tell me stories of things they have experienced since they have been here, things I would never consider doing, these things were not necessarily things I want to do or would recommend to other but rather things I wish I could experience, hence let go of myself and become something else briefly in the name of life experience and having something else outside of the normal mundane stories to tell when i return home. With in the first two minutes of talking to these three. One had been to the doctor due to drug abuse and did not remember his first three days here, the second had been arrested for not wearing a helmet thrown in a questioning box and almost not let out. The third and most amazing story came about because one of the guys purchased an other wise legal substance in this country, he was just unlucky enough to purchase it off the wrong person. He ended up being arrested taken to the station and locked up, this then led him to an ATM where he had AK's stuck in his back and was instructed to withdraw as much money as he could get out of his account.
Before I left I organized an international drivers licence so I would not have problems with police. I made sure the guy I got my motor bike off gave me a decent helmet so I would have at least some kind of protection in the unfortunate case of an accident. And as for first of all, taking drugs it is not something I can ever see myself doing. I am not really sure if this is because I am against them or if it is just something that over the last 24 years I have drilled into myself and it is now part of my "personality". As for buying them in Bali off some seedy guy in the street, well that is something I would never ever consider doing. However I say this but at the same time the thought of being alright, although somewhat poorer after having been arrested and having unnecessarily large guns shoved in your back is more than appealing to me. I am not sure if it is normal to be, through lack of a better word jealous of this young man for having had this happen to him. But it is something that intrigues me, although nothing I would ever consider doing will ever lead me to this point.
