THE NICEST WAY TO SEE SUFFERERS PARASITE . . . . WHAT WAS ONCE A FUN, NEON DRENCHED, MINI "VEGAS MEETS L.A" HAS GONE TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET . . . . FROM CURRUMBIN, SOME TWENTY KLMS SOUTH, ON A GORGEOUS SPRING ARVO, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, MIRAGE LIKE VISTA TO BEHOLD . . . . GET TOO CLOSE . . . . 'AND THE MIRAGE FADES AWAY' . . . . SURFACE VS SUBSTANCE . . . . SURFACE 1 - SUBSTANCE 0

Don't get me wrong, living and working on the sunny Gold Coast ain't all bad, actually it's pretty fucking wonderful, always has been for me, I've never moved away like so many of my more cosmopolitan and restless mates, I've seen more of this wide brown land than most and my international sightseeing, while up til now has only encompassed the West Coast of the USA and inland to Vegas, is going to improve in the years to come . . . . this has always been 'home' . . . . it's just that over the last twenty years things have taken a turd for the worst . . . . what has always been somewhat a superficially focused miasma of shallow, callow, big dollar chasing, taste in their arse toting, fly-by-night scammers, spammers and reality jammers have now been superseded and overtaken by a whole new low level of self absorbed, sun seeking, silicon supplemented, emotionally crippled, blow in fucktards with a plan to rape, pillage and plunder all before them. 

Obsessed with only their appearance and what they can take without ever giving a fuck about anything they might be able to put back into the real fabric of the place, this turgid little tribe is sucking the life out of what was once a pretty cool place to be part of . . . . combine them with an increasing level of idiot violent crime in the nightclub belt of Surfers Paradise itself and among the increasingly rapid and vapid suburban sprawl and shit just ain't what it used to be . . . . what place isn't I guess, change doing its thang, the cycle of life, hakuna matata and all that . . . . an ageing punk rocker/skater/spannerhead just losing touch . . . . sometimes though, the whole ugly thing becomes almost unbearable . . . . move away then dickhead, you say . . . . fuck off, and miss all the action only social decay can produce . . . . not a fucking chance, I wouldn't miss it for quids !!!! 

5.30 P.M - LOOKING NORTH TO SURFERS PALESTINE, THE HIGH RISE, TOURIST DESTINATION THAT ONCE WAS . . . . MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE FROM THIS POSTION . . . . ON TOP OF THE WHITE POLE AT THE END OF THE ROCK WALL IS A SEA EAGLE'S NEST, NICE.
