Echoes in the Wire Unspooling Day 1

Image
  Scene 1 In the cradle of copper veins, where the first byte flickered like a eucalyptus firefly against the millennial dusk of 2000, threads uncoiled—raw and unbidden, a post-punk snarl weaving through the static hum of dial-up dreams. Imagine the snare drum's ghost-crack echoing off Uluru's red flanks , not as a conquest but as a lover's bruise, blooming violet under star-pricked skin. Here, rebellion wasn't a fist raised in Canberra's marbled halls but a glitch in the grid . A Laughing Clowns howl warping the airwaves, sonic annotation—jagged guitar riffs splintering into didgeridoo drones , fading to the hiss of cooling circuits. The wire remembers: a young voice, pixels pulsing with the fury of forgotten tapes, cassette ribbons unravelling like the Murray-Darling 's parched secrets, whispering of bans that bind not bodies but bytes, burqas woven into neural lace, veils pleading for the light they obscure. Be Creative and Innovative with Knowledge Jo...

Darwin Jingili Water Gardens Day 2

Image
I have participated in previous holidays with urgency to experience something that I have not experienced before - a different country, a different city, and different tourist sites. I have a well-developed desire to travel and gain satisfaction through novel experiences. I have accepted that the consumption of difference is the basis of my creativity. However, this holiday is passive and now intentionally regulated by maintaining a pattern of doing the same each day to reflect on the subtlety of difference.  I'm not 'just doing it' for the sake of just doing it, at the same-ish time of day.

Darwin Jingili Water Gardens Day 1

COVID-19 2020 has shut down my travels.  So that now I'm on my annual mid-year break I have the time to question my actions. My employment is based on a formal strategy.  High pressure and doing it.  COVID-19 has placed barriers onto my normality. The basis of this blog is questioning the 'just doing it' normality within the confines of COVID-19 restrictions. Understanding my actions within confinement -  'we cannot know things as they are in themselves' (Kant).  On this basis, I have dedicated part of my holiday getting to know myself getting to know Jingili Water Gardens. In short, thinking about my experiences experiencing Jingili Water Gardens.  My initial quandary is that I do not know if this blog is a response of being free to act within restrictions or is it a 'just do it' reaction imposed by confinement.  In other words, is this aesthetic of my own freedom or is it that of an outcome derived by that of an authoritative decision?  If I w...

From One Penny to Utopia

Sensing cultural empowerment And the euphoric rise of the imperialist spirit All of the romantic adventures And the courageous attacks Surviving those deemed as inferior And observing the tormented  Then returning to refinement and grace And feeling satisfied by the tasting Sublimity Awe-inspiring Stories of journeys into the unknown lands From One Penny to Utopia video One Penny Portal Many don't believe in ghosts Many don't believe they are ghosts But they exist And continue to consume the future Through hatred, anger and destruction   Synthesizing the truth in our minds Purchasing our identity Until all originality is replaced  And the replica successfully re-emerges One-off sponsorship You Tube
