You can't keep a good tree down
17 January 2007
You've got to admire the life-force in trees. Especially our gums; drought, fire, men in hard-hats with chainsaws assault them, and they come back again and again. Like this one from up the road, that screamed,"Yeah well, fuck you Mr Chainsaw!"
My friend Green was really bummed when he saw how our local park had been "thinned" (ie widow makers and other obvious insurance risks were removed). I just smirked at Green and said,
"Renewable resource dude."
He hates it when I'm that way.

Juxtaposition
24 October 2006
Rainy day at the local mall, with things to buy, money to spend. Inadequate parking as ever on days like this, in the lead-up to the Jesus season. Every man and his flea-bitten mongrel, shuffling around in the fluorescence. Saggy-titted women (oh get a bra for fuck's sake!) pushing their snot-faced (NB the snot was not limited to the nose) kids around and around and around. Husbands held captive, glazed eyes searching for something, anything of interest, and wanting to be at home watching the Grand Prix, or getting sucked-off by that attractive red-headed chick in Jeans West... or anything, anywhere but there in the Legionella gloom.
