Where it’s at

Where it’s at
Money sings,
it gives you wings.
Money gets you stuff
and makes smooth the rough.
Money fills your belly,
stops you getting smelly,
keeps you warm and dry
and gets you high.
Money can replace your kidney,
let you live by the bay in Sydney.
Money will lubricate your life,
save you from stress and resolve all strife.
In this world, clearly, money is it.

Internet Democracy

I posted the article to Melbourne Indymedia - and now one year on I have just stumbled upon the article again, pleasantly surprised to find […]

Location, Location, Location

When I first moved into my new flat two weeks ago, I would described my enthusiasm for the place in three words: location, location, location. However, this enthusiasm has been somewhat tempered now by abrasive realities.
The greatest culprit in this was the theft of my bike last Monday night. I left it chained up downstairs […]

Cambodia

I’m in cambodia, been here nigh on a month. I’m in Phnom Penh, been here a
day. Freaking hot, and pretty damn busy, moreso than usual anyway as there

He is heavily criticised by both the left and the right, his government has harboured some grotesque corruption (though this is only par for the course in Brazil, and […]
