in the jungle, the urban jungle….

27.07.10 in the jungle, the urban jungle….

some people certainly have interesting ideas on adornments for house and garden.

i particularly love how the tiger stands guard over the fallen wilderbeast, snarling at the lion circling the prey.  i can almost hear them roaring now…

the coloured woodchips and central stand of vegetation faithfully recreate the flora, fauna and colours of the african deserts and savannahs.

you can’t buy this stuff for sure. it had to have been created. art i tell you, backyard art.

it has got to be said that, unless you are a wog, and an old wog, you have no chance ever of creating a masterpiece such as this.

lesbians – slippery when wet

07.07.10 lesbians   slippery when wet

alright then, who let the rampant lesbians out on the loose?

lesbian humour, you can’t make this shit up.

there are two things i have always wondered about homosexuals and both of those are in this one photo…

1) why do so many gays need to advertise like this, or rainbow stickers on their cars, or rainbow flags hanging out of their homes? i just don’t get it..

2) what’s with the constant use of childish double entendre?

oh and i wonder if they are also fans of the bon jovi album, – slippery when wet?

why is there a birkenstock bolted into this powerpole?

11.05.10 why is there a birkenstock bolted into this powerpole?

here’s a creative variation on shoe-tossing/shoes on a powerline...

ok, i get the idea of jesus being nailed to a tree, maybe there is something in that, but this took a lot more effort than nails did…

someone screwed these little mothers in. the other jesus sandal is screwed into the other side of the pole, out of shot.

why bother doing this? in the area this photo was take, i am sure it was not supposed to be art. then what, boredom? unemployment can do some pretty fruity things to people sometimes…

….as in the comments below, could it be revisiting shoes on a powerline?

boobies

18.08.09 boobies

found in a backstreet of Petersham.

why would anyone decide to spray this onto a wall? did they think it out, or was it a spur of the moment thing?

i think it was thought out, only because there is no other tag or throw-up with the same paint on the same wall.

cracks me up that someone commented on it as well. BTW – nice tag ‘Relms’.

the tunnel from irreversible

10.8.09 the tunnel from irreversible

I walk through this tunnel under the railway lines several times a week. i love it when I hear the trains rumbling above me and the ceiling, the walls and the floor vibrate – the place has real atmosphere.

What I don’t like about it, is that even though it looks quite different, it reminds me constantly of one of the most intense and disturbing scenes i have seen in film.

I have seen plenty of films, including plenty of disturbing films, but when i know that the mother of my child is regularly walking through a tunnel that reminds me of THAT scene in the Gaspar Noe flick – ‘Irreversible’, i just can’t shake that feeling. here is a trailer for the film – en espanol:

Maybe it’s time that i started sticking to mindless Hollywood blockbusters  (Well actually, maybe not).

BTW, i found it to be an amazing film anyway and one that had to be watched at least twice to be fully appreciated – even though i went and made a cup of tea in another room while THAT tunnel scene played out (once was enough, thank you very much).

Although it does star Arnie (why and HOW does he hold Governorship?????), Total Recall was another crazy kind of backwards film that is best seeing more than once.

If you want to know a little history of Arnold Schwarzenegger, watch this clip below and you will know what cumming in heaven is all about. Do you think that he is cumming now that he can ‘bose out’ as the Governator, is he still mainl-lining steroids in old age? It’s a corker:


,

It was, in my opinion, a great film – based on a book by the Sci-Fi nutcase – Philip K Dick (who also wrote the novel behind Bladerunner).

Even though this is an blog based in Australia, a Massive proportion of readers come from the US – most of those are from Cali. Can anyone PLEASE explain to me how this man was voted in to run the state that generates SO much revenue for the national economy? I really wonder how a man with zero acting skills can become an actor. Then i wonder how a steroid-nut neanderthal non-actor can run a once prosperous state in what was once the worlds largest economy could come into power. With all due respect to my Cali brothers and sisters, who voted this fucking freak into power?

I need to come back here and re-shoot at night – when there is no ‘light at the end of the tunnel’.

Free to good home

9.8.09 Free to good home

After moving house and de-junking, we had this old bike (which would have been worth a packet back in its day – CroMo frame and Scott shocks, decked out with slicks and bar-ends).

It needs a bit of a service, but anyone with basic bike mechanic skills could have brought this baby up to speed.

What to do? – Stuff around and describe it, shoot it, list it on ebay, answer 100 dumb questions and maybe sell it for 20 bucks, only to get logistical with arranging pick up times and then deal with ‘feedback’…..

- OR -

stuff around and describe it, shoot it, list it on this blog , handwrite a dodgy sign, moderate maybe a handful of comments and dump it next to the train station so that either some commuter or passer-by can ride the thing home?

I chose the latter. The bike was gone within 20 minutes. I hope the new owner is stoked with their new wheels and that i see them riding around the neighbourhood.

I hope whoever picked it up didn’t stuff around and describe it, shoot it, list it on ebay, answer 100 dumb questions and maybe sell it for 20 bucks, only to get logistical with arranging pick up times and then deal with ‘feedback’.

hey it might not look smashing, but it tasted great!
