Much like Australian band Youami´s latest offering, this post is to be considered a comeback post for this blog, which has been recently put its place by a younger, cooler equivalent in the form of www.brad-rules.blogspot.com ala Davey Lane´s side project The Pictures. Much like The Pictures, brad-rules, while good in content, has still a bad case of "little brother syndrome" or even, and after a few appearances at Rove and a small national tour will rightfully return to its place. Below the original.

The weekend started unlike most weekends, most weekends start on Saturday, this one started ten minutes before 6am on Friday. I awoke to a call from Nina, confirming that she would pick me up in 20 minutes. I got up, put on my mildly offensive tracksuit pants reserved for long trips in Brads car and ate some stewed apples.
The road trip commenced smoothly until we reached the Harbour Bridge when the following conversation took place.
"Do you have your ticket?"
"No."
"Are you serious"
"Yeah I don´t have it"
"Can I just say before we go back that your're a fucking wanker"
After a brief return stop, we were soon rocketing across the bridge to pick up Perth and the Notting Hill area of Perth´s finest en route to The House of Brad (intentionally capitalised), in which five people would squash into what has been previously been called The Spruce Moose (1998, silver, two-door Mitsubishi Lancer).
The rest of the drive preceded smoothly, with stops at the Big Banana and Oyster widely acknowledged as respective highlights.
Upon reaching Byron Bay, we checked into the surprisingly well furnished Bunkhouse Hostel, in which it was declared that the only appropriate way to celebrate our arrival would by aggressive and obnoxious drinking.
During this period the following things were observed:
- Milo rides a girls bike, this is only further accentuated by the fact that he has a basket on the front of it.
- Cheeky Monkeys ("Restaurant and 3am Party Bar") has 15 beer taps, all of which serve Tooheys New.
- 12 males, all from Brisbane, singing a Rancid song to each other:
"When I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again" (while pointing at each other and hugging)
- One of said Brisbane males falling off a table.
- Another Brisbane male helping the first male back up again.
- $2 pasta is rubbish.
- The official nightclub MC/public relations renegade coming over to our table: "Alright guys!.... Eating pasta, fish and chips, beers... All good... all good."
- The best person to guard your wounded body after a comical run in with a large bouncer is always someone who was given the highschool nickname "Fagmullan"
-There are actually people around who use terms including (thank you urinal conversations at Cheeky Monkeys):
"You are a loose cunt on the cans"
"All the boys are fired up for a big one. We´re a fucken slick unit this weekend"
"I'm gonna get so fuck-eyed on the doofers this weekend"

James and the City... Not that good a post.
So I´m sitting at home trying to get past what just happened on the pre-recorded, ad-less episode of the OC I just watched. Blogging lately has been minimal, and admittedly rubbish. In between paying my student union fees, and deciding exactly how I am going to get through the car trip to Splendour in the Grass (5 people, Sydney to Byron Bay, in Brad's two-door 1998 Lancer AKA "The Spruce Moose") I decided that I should get going on with one of my two project
1. Solo project drama series based on the life of five 20-somethings in Sydney, quite possibly based around the yellow house in Macleay St in the Cross.
2. A collaborative project with my brother, given the working title "Pubes The Musical"
Relevations so far this evening:
- No AA meetings can help Kirsten Cohen. Simmo is in the same boat, except in more of a lunatic role than that of a concerned wife/mother.
- The leaving of Tim and Tom left a whole in my heart, and a mild sting for a beer. I don´t even feel bad that this cruel city defiled their previously pokie-innocent persons. As they jet back towards their respective smaller cities, I can fondly recall the disgusted face of the latter
"I am NOT chicken!"
"You don't cry when other people fart"
"Yeah because I haven't been marinating in it since the Great Australian Bight"
Kudos to he who has a way with words that makes even Sara Blasko feel complicated, and also to Tim who was heard say on Sunday "Is a wanker. Can cross roads." I've been thinking about that moment Tim, I decided that being a wanker has nothing to do with the crossing of roads, unless perhaps the road was Abbey Road and you were attempting to do a bad impersonation of the photo made famous by the Beatles album of the same name.
- Wanker is my most used word. It made me think that perhaps I should reevaluate the company I keep, or my standards of acceptable dress (enter skinny-legged, low-crutched tracksuit pants).
- The best way to deal with the car trip will be write a list entitled "10, 000 reasons why Brad is my best friend", and read them out ten at a time, pausing to explain each one adding brackets into speech eg "Wanker with a capital W and an exclamation mark in brackets".
- Dannielle of Big Brother is a twat, circa her BB Uplate appearance as I type.
- Mike Goldman is a twat, circa the day the vile Jackal shot him out of her demonic uterus, put him in a pair of red tsubi's and changed his name from Damien.
- Sandy may have his bad days, but he is still a saint.

James and the city.
James and the City:
Like the multi-award winning Sex and The City. James and the City explores the day to day lives of a cosmopolitan young male living in Sydney's inner-west.
Episode 1: The Fireman
Summary: James and his boyfriends go out trying to seduce sexy firemen. They have brunch later and talk about it while puffing on white-tipped cigarettes and drinking macchiatos.
Reality: James and his friends get drunk in a dark room with strange people in it. They end up at The Gaslight Inn talking to big lesbian women from New Zealand. They all get just drunk enough to still be able to stand, but to repel any eligible women in sight. James goes to McDonalds, before walking home from Kings Cross. On his way home he starts talking to an English backpacker called "Keef". James and Keef try to walk into every pub on Park St and then down George Street, before finally not being turned away from Star Bar. They see a young man being violently arrested on the pool table. James walks home, misses brunch.
Episode 2: The 30-something
Summary: James and his gay-best-friend, Stamford catch a matinee. Afterwards, over cocktails, they realise that it isn´t so bad being in your 30s. James celebrates and spends $400 on shoes.
Reality: James and his brother, along with Nina and Milo go to see Youami at the Enmore. James and brother Nick stay at Bar Broadway until 5:30am claiming, "What? Tim Rogers would definetly still be drinking!" James falls over on the way home.
