The Monkey's Cheese!

Thursday, December 9

I just talked to Austin on the phone, he's hanging out with Fatty, they're probably gonna cook themselves something healthy and eat it. Austin got into University. I feel happy for him but at the same time I worry about the future and the band. Life will work itself out no doubt.

The bolder the action, the greater the reward.
That's my quote, I came up with that, as i'm sure countless others also have.
Why? Because it's true.

The weekend was good (sorta), on Friday night I went out to a film festival in Cronulla with Stixx. We met up with a dude called Troy who's in a band called Fish Fingazz and his friend. Troy is a cool guy who doesn't give a fuck, he's loud and obnoxious and rude, but also very witty and has a magnetic personality. I like him, he carries himself around like a rock star.

The night would have been a good one but Stixx didn't have any I.D which caused us all sorts of problems.

We got into two clubs that night. At the first one cops came in with sniffer dogs and for some reason they sniffed out my bag, so I had to be escorted out and searched. It was almost really embarrassing but I found it funny. They didn't find anything and let me go and I had to line up all over again to get back in. Then we went to another club in which Stixx was allowed in by dancing to the security guard and saying 'Come on man, I need to dance, would someone under 18 dance this good?!', it was $10 entry & I paid for him but within minutes we were back out on the street because he'd tried to sneak in a bottle of Jack Daniels and gotten busted. We got into a fight, I told him he always fucked up and that's why we'd kicked him out of the band etc. I was pretty harsh. He ended up catching a taxi home and I stayed behind.

Saturday was Fatty's 21st! Fatty is great, he's got great big smooth hands that are fun to shake. He was dressed positively cool with a neat fluro pink shirt and black tie number. There was speeches, there was food, Al and I went for a treck to get some Coopers. Budge and Case and Zoe and Megan were not invited and that sort of gave everyone a bit more space to be themselves which was good I thought. I had a good time.

From Fattys 21'st we headed to Panthers. Austin and I snuck in our Coopers, went out the back and chatted while I promptly threw up. Ahh it feels so good to throw up sometimes.

From there I:Hung out with Swanny, talked to Amanda and got sleazy with Flabsy's sister Lauren.

At one point of the night, I asked Lauren to flash her tits to the table where all the guys were sitting and she did. The guys thought it was a crack up and I thought I was great for having asked, but it pissed Amanda right off. She stood up and walked off as soon as it happenned. Straight away I felt like I was in trouble. She thought it was disgusting behaviour, and probably that I was being a typical male chauvenist (which i was). I ran after her to try to spout some excuse to make it better but failed.

Since then I haven't shaken off the feeling that I did something wrong, which I didn't.

I ended up catching a Taxi home and passing out.

On Monday we had band prac, 'Keith Richards' is coming along good, we also have a show this Saturday at the Landsdowne, because this guy that books shows liked our Demo and wants to see if we can 'pull off the chops live'. Nice. Also, Austin gave our demo to some chicks on a train and this morning he got a message from one saying 'Hey spunk, your band is great, i've already put the name on my bag' or something cool like that. Wick-Ed.

The other band is doing o.k, we're throwing around some band names. Case wants to call it 'All Mixed Up' but I reckon that's crap.

.. I have enough money to get a ticket to Mexico, but that's it, I don't have enough for passports, food or anything else. I figure, if I buy the ticket then I HAVE to get the rest of the money together and at least i'll know i'm going, effectively 'locking in' the trip, a-la 'Price Is Right'. Hmm.. what to do what to do...

$49.95 For a Beanie!?

And I bought it..

At first I was suspicious, could an article of clothing possibly be worth that much.
It was a beanie after all. Tightness check, style check, comfort check, all pass. Hmm.. big decision.. I conferred with the BeaNi Gods.. it was time, I had to give something back.
The many many beanies i had gone through were all free, surely they would've liked it this way. The choice was made.. It's great, it's snug, and cool, and comfy and it makes me feel comfortable and warm everywhere I go.

Some things are worth paying the extra cash.
