Dude, it's just about summertime

Ahh, the beauties of technology in the face of hot desert winds.  My camera isn't working very well, so I haven't been able to upload pictures to this well thing, but oh well, that's well anyway, yeah?  So it feels like spring has passed, and now we're coming into summer in Australia (October to February, I think.  They say that December is the hottest time ever) and awaiting these massive cyclones brewing in the Indian Ocean.  It's really hot here.

We went out last week hunting for kangaroo with one of the elders, a park ranger, and we got two.  It was dope; I was the spotlight guy.  The thing with the Ngarluma people is that they don't waste much in the ways of bush tucker, and they know exactly where and when to get good, fresh roo, emu, fish, or goanna (bigass lizards that apparently taste really good).  Had some kangaroo-stew the other night in the bush, and it was just plain heavenly.  Really good stuff.  And there's plenty of kangaroos out there, too... they hop across the highways at night, to their unfortunate demise in four-wheel-drive headlights.  I guess they're kinda like deer.

Hope all is well where your computer functions, and my thoughts go out to all the people affected by the crazy fires in LA.  Is everything coo over there?  Peace (especially for Rangoon).

aki you rocki
i know it's an old saying,
but then again my pastime of praying
is old too.

good to hear you've got
that old foo
under the radar
and keeping your nose
close to the gunnel
of the boat headed for
broome.

funny that,
soon i may move to broome too
but you know,
it's a different broome,
being that it's in new york
- i know "i'm a dork"
moving back home and all -

but i'm not in free fall yet
keepin it real
still, now that i'm
no longer strangling
myself with some crazy
girl dream.

that was a scream
and a scam,
i feel taken for
"score!".
but ah fuck,
live and learn.

"burn baby burn!"

anyway, keep up the goodwork
writin and bloggin
is better than schloggin
through the mud alone.

peace man.
be well.
