There's a light. Death Wish.

So I'll just skip though the first part and then I have a video tour of my new lodgings. Ok so before I moved here I was couchsurfing. I ended up on Mcleay Island. Awesome place, a really nice resturant there, I'll take you its my treat. I stayed with a photographer and he does very well photographing glamour model type women like you see in those magazines where they airbrush away all sense of character and you think thats not skin she's a....car or something...she's made of something shiny. Theres act one. I had some food and a bath and I didn't wanna impose as my circumstances were no longer as dire so I ..oohh and he picks me up on this motorbike wizing around the island...who cares...so I made my way back to the ferry, my phone was running low and he drew me a map so at 10pm I made my way....where the fuck am I? No streets written on the map I'm moving like a knight on a chessboard and theres landmarks written on it theres a church and a golf course and something else. I zig zap I follow the coast around and anyway the last ferry got canceled. I ran out of phone power calling my parents in england to find the correct time. Why didn't I bring that fucking charger...because your only going for a night and you don't need it ...idiot!! Well I'll just have to take him up on the offer. Right!! I get lost..I have the map the wrong way... I can only remember the street name. I can't decide which side of the golf course I'm on. By now its past midnight and I knock on doors apologising and I then I got lost again its now 3am...shit I'm gonna have to wake him...its starts raining....ahh fuck the map its too wet anyway!! 20 min later I think maybee I should go find that map. I think to knock on a another house but I can't find one and then suddenly I see something of inspiration and I ever so quietly break in to song....




I like that song a lot. It was all really spooky and I see this women ..she musn't have seen me because she's at the window busy looking for the pull chord to the blinds......but its really fucking weird because I'm now standing directly in front of her she still hasn't seen me!! I'm just waiting for an appropriate time to not scare the shit out of her..y'know 3 in the dead of night you glance through your window and see a rain soaked stranger just stood there. Then I'm seriously freaked out because now she's looking straight through me......WHAT THE FUCK I DROWNED AT THE BEACH.....GOT STUNG FATALY BY A BOX JELLY FISH....... Maybee she has sight issues....and then these words... that I'll never forget cause its as iconic as...."But you don't have to go with me!!"..........................."whoever you are go away!!" What? I haven't even made eye contact with you yet. She gave me a map after I apologised for the singing....didn't have a nokia charger. SO I find it its a very small street and his house has dissapeared...couldn't find anything that I knew I should recgonize like the stairs that and the gate I hear a wistling... so I wistle SOS but it turns out that was an owl......then to qoute Billy Connelly "Never trust a man that when left alone in a room by himself with a tea cosy doesn't try it on!!" Cause I noticed how very quiet and isolated it was.... certainly not cold....half an hour ago I thought I was a ghost time to live a little....I put on my birthday suit and walked around like that for most of the way back to the ferry even past the church on the hill which disproved the whole eve, the apple and the talking snake story cause I felt no shame!! ANyway ACT 3. After a long night the early morning ferry arrived and I go in to my bag to put my stuff back in my pockets..........oh heres my phone charger!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Death Wish
I found a guy who hadn't tried to run me over on his way to the ferry who showed me the way.. he was walking...back on the mainland I offer him a lift cause it seems fun and spontaneous thing to do, you know cause I wanna live in a world where people can be like that. He was ok and all but must learn to stop wanting to trust that it can be.....because there is of course a lot of fuckheads..... people with serious personality disorders... I was watching this reality traffic cop show today in fact and one would think well I suppose yeah people can be that fucked in the head...on television sure. These 40 year old twin women got kicked of a bus and instead of getting the next one like they were instructed they decided to walk on the motorway for the rest of the way. Well thats odd and yes they certainly haven't got there best thinking caps on. But what is so strange and random was that they both decide to kill themselves and run in front of traffic. Police turn up with a BBC camera man, its really unbelievable to watch cause they keep bouncing of the roofs of cars getting up and punching the officers and going at it again until one of them is critically injured after being run over by a truck. The other one goes to live in london while her sister spends 3 months in hospital. They never found out what was going on with them both but the girl in London makes freinds with this guy and murders him with a hammer.
Well I'm going for a smoke...what a crazy story. I go to my car put on some music and a group of young people came up to me and asked me for a lift to the gold coast.... its 2 hours away...kinda like florida mostly theme parks. "Get in were going to the gold coast...where next Sydney?" Had a bad feeling about them y'know.....they seemed to lack any sence of anything good like a concsience or I don't know.. somewhat phycopathic... and this moron in the passenger seats a fucking idiot and can't move the adjust the seat. 5 of them got in, one on the floor. All this shitty hippity hoppity you all you niggers out there...I'm gonna stab him and take his gold chain music bullshit. I'm not watching television anymore and yet I hear the car door open. "I wanna see my mum" I'm doing 110km an hour with the car door open and his girlfreind screaming and crying as everyone tries to pull him pack in the car. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING" she's screaming and crying and I pull over he gets out and walks off down the motorway. THey go after him and he keeps running in front of the fucking traffic!! I drop them off anyway and they fucking me on the petrol lucky to have made it back here with the fuel light on. One of the girls comes back and says look I'm really worried about your safety he has a knife and he wants to kill you, just drive off ok and wind up your windows.......what on earth......its not like the whole please give me some money for petrol argument got heated I just felt.. disappointed or something. Thats probably the most unbeleivable thing that has ever happened to me so anyway thats that and this is where I live now.
