Things I’ve thought at festivals

I’ve been to the Big Day Out and St Jerome’s Laneway in the past week and it reminded be of some recurring thoughts I have at festivals or gigs.

1. “Get off my foot, you fat mole”
2. “Put your arm down, you fat mole”
3. “He’s not Timbaland, seriously, put your fucking hand down”
4. “Why are you here? You’re like 40. Raise your children”
5. “You can’t dirty dance to this, so don’t try. We all know you’re a skank without the dancing”
6. “I get it, you love this band, shut the hell up”
7. “I wonder if anyone will actually do a Springsteen cover”
8. “Fuck, this band started out good, and I said they were good at the time, but now they’re boring and I’m bored. Fuck, can’t yawn, will look like a big fake. Can’t yawn.”
9. “So what, I yawn, I’m human, what are you God? You can read into my mind and tell that I like this band or not. Fuck you. Man these guys are boring”
10. “MY BACK. GOD, MY BACK”
11. “Hot chick and douchebag #39″
12. “Who loves short shorts? I love short shorts”

Return of the King

Back by popular demand is this blog, or at least another entry for the adoring masses. Or mass. I don’t think I have enough people to read this to have more than one mass.

Could I try any harder when I’m drunk:

“I am the edible mask of my father’s hollow anger. Warm inebriation, strangled by tomorrow’s grey light”.

It makes me think of highschool poetry and short stories. Fuck.

Prickly Pears

I’m doing this instead of doing study, and so this entry is allowed to be less wank more things that I can write easily and quickly and not care about. Day to day bullshit.

1.  Woke up an hour early – not because of daylight savings (John: “Gaylight savings”)
2. Cold, wet weather: allowed to wear jeans and not get hot.
3. Driven to uni by Al. Clarky’s car is very quiet.
4. Boring tute was boring. Girl who I sat next to maintained her amazing tan and was very bored with the proceedings. I wanted to see if her ankle bracelet left a tan line on her ankle, but thought better and was bored too.
5. Met John and Gale in the ref along with other chuckleheads. Wrestled with Anne-Marie to try and get past her – I think she thought I was play wrestling for the fun of it, and thus a bit aggressive. All became clear when I cleared things up. John looked like Dick Tracy in his overcoat.
6. Is Dick Tracy a comic character or a movie character? I only know his name
7. Jumped over puddles to get to Broadway
8. Thought about eating Malaysian food. Gale advised against and went into Nagano. I was hungry, Malaysian food smelt so good. I ate Japanese curry, John ate Katsu John. Gale ate Japanese mayo.
9. Gale insulted a girl on the way to Broadway hilariously and accidentally. I should have said that earlier.
10. John’s bag doesn’t stand up as easily as it used to. It’s off kilter.
11. Jumped over puddles on the way to Uni
12. Wasted life
13. Met Rae. She was very tired. I advised to sleep. She bought V.
14. I went home on the bus. Read Slaughter House 5. I’d mentioned a triangular knife in the book to Gale and John on our way to Broadway because we were talking about gashes. Gale has read Slaughter House 5 and didn’t say anything when I mentioned the title. In retrospect I look like a douche bag for mentioning the name of a famous book. It makes me look like I mentioned it so they would know I was reading it, which is like saying I’m only reading it to be seen reading it. I stepped in a puddle when I thought about this on the way to the bus, and concluded I’ve over analyzed the situation. Gale didn’t mention the book title, though.
15. Read Slaughter House 5 on the bus. Some guy asked me if my parents knew I was reading such a “vulgar book” and then pointed to the word “bitch” on page 57 and laughed. I said they’d given it to me, smiled and kept on reading, and he talked to his friend about this cartoon on the internet where the Kangaroos say “What the fuck, mate?”. His friend brought it up.
16. Dad was home, so got a lift from the bottom of Hale Road. I think I’d woken him up, and apologized for it when I got home, I didn’t hear his response – but there was one. I think he said he had been sleeping, but he said it like he didn’t mind being woken up that much. On the phone, when I asked him for the lift, he sounded quite annoyed.
17. I think this picture is amazing, and funny, and just makes things click. It’s not funny because it’s making fun of models – which I don’t think it’s – it’s funny because that bird is certain it’s God.
    
18. Sat down at the computer
19. Wasted life
20. Wrote blog

Riding around Wembley Downs on a BMX bike at 2 am in the morning with friends. That’s how I want it to be. SIDE NOTE:I’m a rep with Karmaloop, which means I get cool discounts there, meaning you get to use my rep to get the same cool discounts. I’m just in it for the shoes, but they’ve got plenty of cool stuff: Karmaloop
