Travel Australia Darwin to Daly Waters

  Our trusty Subaru Forester was packed with me, my partner Brenda, Katchalla (our concerned but enthusiastic spoodle), and enough snacks to survive a tiny apocalypse. With our brand new Brass Monkey securely tucked into the boot, we set off on our mission: the first leg of an epic journey from Darwin to Ulladulla, NSW, with Daly Waters shimmering in our minds as our initial oasis. We departed from Darwin, the tropical humidity clinging to us like a second skin. After about 98 kilometers, the promise of caffeine lured us into the Adelaide River Country Store. Brenda, ever the coffee connoisseur, declared their coffee to be "a damn good coffee," which is a high compliment indeed. Meanwhile, Katcha sniffed around, searching for the right spot to relieve himself and stumbled upon the store's no dickhead policy. Back on the Stuart Highway, the landscape began to slowly transform. The lush greens of Darwin gradually gave way to the more resilient vegetation of the outback.  Th...

You can taste it in the air
It is outer-worldly
All alone
Radical
That night
Walk out of the car 
Feel special
Sheer bliss



Forget the narcissist leader
Who persuades you through their exceptional talent

The leader who elicits your secrets
Who manipulates every situation you are in

The leader who is beyond control
Who will make you regret

Idiots all of them
Basking in their callous work

Take a step outside
Walk into the night
And enjoy the uniqueness of life


I have always believed in miracles
My victory was expected
I was one of those unpopular leaders
But they voted me in

I want to make you happy
But I made a mess of it
From this crisis to the next
The smirk was killing me

But I learned quite a lot
I took command
I took control
I picked a direction and I went for it

I became humorous
I became frequent
I became spontaneous

They now know I care for them 
They now know that I understand 
I know what you are going through


The predicted actions of leaders
Who fall into helplessness
Who becomes passive, indecisive, and depressed
What to do when we are faced by failure

From childhood to adulthood
The accumulation of negative experience
From one season to the next

Sensing loss of influence 
And the failure of accomplishment
Then emphasizing caution and risk aversion
By weighing loss 
And not promoting gain

How to then
Regain pervasiveness
Take positive action
And aggressively take risks
