the punk rock show

ok, so who the hell made this the first of march??? c'mon, fess up!! i haven't blogged for awhile and i thought seeing as its mid february id make a post, but no, the dang computer is telling me its the 1sr of march. So somehow i have lost about 15 days into the ether, as i wake and eat and do my thing only to rest again at night, as we all do. But geeze louis, ihave never felt time go so fast. As a philosopher i have learnt that it is all sibjective, and time as a matter of fact is all a construct of the human mind. And thus as that mind ages, so do the relative bounds that we once placed upon it-- you remember six weeks of holiday lasting an eternity when you where a child? now in six weeks you can barely wake up, scratch your ass, say hello to the neighbours, have about one illegal game of poker with the mates, read two or three chapters of a book, and spend ten minutes realizing how fast its all moving.

Anyway the punk rock show... last week o went into sydney with Handley to see Nofx at Luna park. And i must say, luna park freaking rules, it should be set up permantley, (for my yank friends, luna park used to be open every day, until people built houses around it, then the peopel in those houses complained so they had to shut down, and what a lot of bullshit.) Luna park is situated right under the sydney harbour bridge. So me and handley rocked up, and joined in a guy pissing on one of the supoort beams! It's quite an accomplishmenty saying you have taken a leek on the harbour bridge at night whille looking at the illuminated opera house on the far side of the shore, while some punk rocker in a black shouts profanities, and you think about the hundreds of people who died making the bridge, and think .. fuck .. what's this all about...

anyway nofx went off , and cheney was in sydney at the same time, and cheney is nofx's arch nemesis because they think he is the controller of Bush. Anyway, i love both nofx and Cheney, so i see no beef there. And yes jroc i understand both sides of the equation.

After nofx i spent 12 hours drilling through a conrete pipe, because my old man is putting in two wells. It was some hard damn work, but on the upside the dude who was working the excavator and digging the wells, (and lives down the road) had a saint bernarn that he had flown up from adelaide. It is only six months old and already nearly three times the size of my labrodor. And he rented an appartment or somethign and couldnt keep it, so it was tieds up to his truck all day, so i took it. It would be worht several huyndred dollars. But he's a cute guy and giant, and it takes three square meals a day to feed him, like tony said when i showed him. 'do you have some spare meat you want to get rid of?'
it's true the guy is giant ill see if i can post a pic. Anyway peace everyone, and try to hold onto those moments that keep slipping away for me.

p.s
i called the new dog: Rath Luban
mom wants to call him: Ruben
and some others say: Rasputen

so let me know what you think.

So Dan, It's a bit suss you were in Sydney at the exact same time as Cheney. Is that why security was so tight? I mean they closed off half the damn city just for one guy and his motorcade. That must have been your doing.
And where did you come up with the name Rath Luban?

see, you think you understand both sides of the equation, but i have 2 theories of my own: 1). you mindlessly do what you want to do without thought, a la hedonism-bot, or 2). you're just a big ozzie poseur pretending to be punk while secretly oogling fotos of cheney in his bloomers.
i was gonna say something much nastier than oogling but i have too much respect for your mum to be so foul.
i hope you know i'm just screwing with you so don't get all pouty like you usually do when i get political.
i'm sorry though. you can't like nofx and be conservative. it's like oil and water. so which are you pretending to be? punk or conservative?
i still think you're brainwashed by the neoconservative fascist propagandha machine...
you know i love this line of conversation... but you're still cool, even if you are a nazi.

btw, you should check out my blog... read the one called "don't you know." it's not political, i just think it gives creedence to your masterplan to get me in oz...
oh, yes... as far as the dog goes, i like rath luben or rasputin. being a socialist and somewhat partial to russian history, i'd advocate rasputin.
god, i can't wait until may '08, and i'm oz bound...

I think you can be conservative and like whatever music you want,(i dont listen to a lot of words anyway just the drum beat) a lot of left wing liberals like lynard skynard and they are confederates!
-lachy you gotta love the motorcade, i want to be one of motorbike riders ghosting the cars.

bloomers are knickers, boxers, undies... i thought you people spoke english down there...
no punk isn't just music, it is a political movement. it always has been. but as always, you decide things. but you only decide things because i, in my god-like power, give you free will. i still think you're just an ozzie equivilent of hedonism-bot... ozzie-bot. so it shall be. why? because jroc wills it so!
god, i miss the hell outta you daniel. i thought you were gonna get a calling card and call me...
you know, i point out your contradictions because my own are even more contradictory... i'm a homophobic homosexual. i'm a conservative democrat. i'm an poor ass ex-punker at the most upper crust white bread preppie school in the state. i'm an american obsessed with monarchy. i'm a socialist but i collect coins and forms of money. go figure... but in the words of the poet:
"do i contradict myself?
very well, i contradict myself,
i am vast and contain multitudes."
still miss the hell outta of you though.
and lynard skynard can fuck themselves... hippies wrapped up in confederate flags... who gives a fuck what they have to say.

all us robots need to be shut down, especially you hedonism bot-- i apologize for nothing.
Perhaps you are clinging to the roots of the music movement you call punk. It has now evolved to include the commercial side of things, so there are fast ass bands that have nothign political to say, and thats fine because everyone should be able to play what they want, i dont think you should be able to hold a particular drumbeat to ransom and decide what it or anyone who listens to it believes in. It happens with many things that evolve past their origins. You're living in the past man, and shit that i call punk is different from the shit you call punk.
and dont mess with the skynard!!lol
