crocks and clams,

gday mate,

so ah, ere e am in australia mate, right party goin on here, eh!
yuth here is real young, and real drunk, kinda like being back in high school, not tottally my thing, but amusing and entertaining on some level.

cape tribulation was were i was the last week, rainforest with bizare birds, crockodils, loads of snakes and other buzzards...

traveling alone is fantastic, and i'm just startign to get into the buzz of the freedom that it gives you... you meet friends, you share experiences, and then you move on when the wind takes you; its living in the moment at its finest; definetly nice.

i've been meeting loads of people, seemingly right after i leave one friend another one replaces it... been getting around on rides, which is cheaper than buying tickets and now i'm going to do a livaboard diving experience before i meet ihor next saturday in brisbane [we will go surfing for 2 weeks together...]
:)

ther last few days i've been crystalizing my thoughts on how to live, and how to live in haronony with others, and ive had some great conversations about how to live ones life without ever having to comprimise anything - its a totally different world here than what i've been experiencing before... and its nice to see new ideas unfolding.

while at the rain forest i did a long 6 hour hike to the top of a mountain, i dont know what it is with me, but i obviously have this ability to create or modify reality with the power of suggestion... i wrote in one of my drawings two lines of text, without knowing why:
'burn the bubbles off your brain'
and
'daggers darts hearts and arrows'

and within 24 hours i had the following two events occure:
- a tick attached itself to my head, it took me an hour to remove it - it diddn't burrow - i only had a mild bite [the equiviliant of a mosquito bite] - ticks are rare but possible to get in the rain forest, i was unlucky to get one, but lucky i got it out - ticks can be dangerous if not removed within 48 hours...
- a girl showed me her necklace, a jade arrow from the abroiginal people and told me its the sign of the heart in the aboriginal people...

i really wish i could learn more about magic, suggestion and other things from some place - and i dont mean from some silly useless popular culutre book, or some useless / misguided group or other place... its a really abnormal subject, one which is clouded in misonceptions, but after now about 4 years of continual unexplained forsight, suggestion and wishes coming true [for good or bad] i'm getting to the point where i'm really wondering what to do with [this aspect of] my self...

anyways, back on earth, the diving here is ok, nothing like the shark dive i had in fiji, but still enjoyable, we shall see... its soooooo incredibly touristy here with sooo many people crammed into everything, its quite different than the small dives/activities in the south pacific i was having.

other wise i've been thinking about the book i want to write [eventually] - its not something i am goign to start yet, really want to finish my album / arctone project and my prototype device from steim first - and then look further afterwards...

alright you sheila's and blokes, catcha latter alig----
