Day 10 / Day 5: Lazy party


Once again I woke up to an empty house and I ended up having such a lazy day. I had intending on going on a walk that Beavis had told me about from Coogee to Bondi but that never eventuated and I ended up lazing on the couch and watching a lot of T.V. I feel a little guilty for that.
Bridget is in Sydney at the moment for an audition so when Beavis got home from work we headed into town together to meet up with her for dinner. We went to this Japanese place and it was one of the best Jap meals I’ve had. It was pricey but so worth it!

The plan was to meet up with the other girls after dinner for drinks but they’d gone off to one of their friend’s house so the three of us ended up having a few drinks together. Bridget is staying at a hostel in town and the hostel has a roof area that all the backpackers go to drink and hang out so we went up there.
It was such a typical backpacker feel with lots of international people and stuff. We met some pretty cool and funny people and ended up spending the whole night with them when our intention was to just have a couple and then head out to some bars/clubs. Samantha the English, Dorota the Polish and Fabio and Alberto the Italians.
Tonight I’m staying in a hostel on the same road as Bridget because we’ve got to get up early tomorrow to get our new rental car so it’ll be easier if we’re all together in one place. The road that our hostel is on is so dodgy – Darlinghurst Road. We picked one of the cheapest hostels. The hostel itself was alright but we found out why it was so cheap when the sun went down and the strippers came out. It was K’ Road x10. So many strip clubs, drug-fucked people and massage parlours with happy endings.

Beavis and I - all smiles!
Photo bombed aaaas

Peak: Doing nothing all day
Pit: While drinking on the roof, some idiot prick sprayed the fire extinguisher everywhere and it covered everyone in white dusty stuff

Notes for 27-years-and-5-months-old Phil

... even if he won't really understand. Dear Phil, Remember: Samos is a beautiful Greek island. With beaches, mountains, history and all the lures of a typical holiday destination from which you might expect. Samos is an inhabited island. It has shops, hospitals, cafes, bars, clubs, ATMs. You're not going there to be marooned. Don't say "I'm hungry" flippantly. Or ever. Don't say "football should be fun and happy" when people start getting competitive. Especially if you're coming from having 'won' the lottery of being from a place with freedom, opportunities, safety. RE: The police. "Serve + Protect." Who? "You and your friends" is not the correct answer. 'All Star' by Smash Mouth is a great boogie / sing along. Leave it at that and don't add it to your karaoke play list. There's a second verse you have no idea about. Your patience will be tested. You will feel like a horrible per...

Sonnet NoName - (March '17)

Image
Shall I compare you to a Samos day - data attained, analysed, authenticated the world over? You drift, dragging, anchored, seeking your weigh Numberless, stateless, in purgatory hover Lying to sleep, no light to be dimm'd Storm clouds above float free without borders Whilst this bed lifts to reveal the horizon Your eyes see no distance - only rock faces untrimm'd But your open heart and mind has not faded Despite the decisions circumstance has dictated They scoot over helm(et)-less, trampling their grit Whilst yours reinforces like steel bit by bit      So long as you can breathe and your eyes can see      So long lives this - a pledged devotee View over the hotspot, out into Samos town and beyond

SHARE ۯ FOOD

Image
This child was told 27 years to share food. He did good, read books, but never learned to split bread - spat back at what mum said. Never thought it was selfish 'cos, 'If I bought it and I ordered, then it should be as I wished.' Of course, there were times that I chose to be nice, remorse for the untouched vegetable sides. But inside my mind was a shallow road block. A dam full with still rules withers and rots. Distilled water needed to release the hold, in the form of cabin dwellers hosting NGOs -  made kindness mean money. Now I see my flaws. Tap water, a comb, a blunted shaver. The barber's cape - a poncho pullover. Vigilant flicks adding spritzes of flavour... only to follow with a 'see ya later...' The gap in the teeth is seen in the absurd. Later that night, I'll take flight in a metal bird and he'll  stay days contained, on uneven earth. Asylum sought but still caught where they were thought as not who but store bought h...
