More Like 'Heartwave' Am I Right?


I suppose I should start by telling you a little bit about myself: it’s hot and I want to die. I want to see the streets running deep in blood, the time to snap is now, let’s not fool ourselves, madness is the only way forward and these are the end times. 

Normally I wouldn’t be so dark, but it’s usually not the Apocalypse. And I don’t even have to work outside! I’ve worked lots of jobs in the harsh Australian climate. Bricklayers’ labouring under the vicious sun, delivering pianos as the sun tries to kill you, working on farms hoping you get sprayed with toxic pesticides because at least it’s wet. Steaming kitchens cutting vegetables as your perspiration pours onto the defenceless potatoes. Welding steel in boiling factories as you feel the working classness washing over you like a pre mixed drink that’s been left out on the roof of your mate Simmo’s panel van. 

You could say I arrive at hot weather with a bad attitude because I associate it with working my arse off, my only reward the feelings of intense manliness as your angle grinder cuts through a piece of angle iron like butter and a firehose of burning sparks shoot down into your boot and burns the heel of your foot and you keep going because fuck it, “I’m being killed anyway, what difference does it fucken make cunts!”

Then again, the weather is a weird one to complain about because it’s happening to everyone. Which is a problem for those of us who are very verbal and need to talk about every single thing. 

Hi, I’m Sean Bedlam and I’m the only who's noticed it’s hot.

They Continue To Do So

My girlfriend woke me and I rushed into the other room and as I watched a plane fly into a building I thought, what's the story with morning television? How benighted are motherfuckers if they simply have the TV on, just on, just there spouting drivel into a private living space, a space where you are not required by law to listen to strangers dibbling shit or watch them smile like money is being fired into all their holes? People will cry their eyes out at whatever tragedy is slipped into them by experts. People will also avoid reflection on weighty matters. Hey people, the inside of your head will not give you AIDS if you touch it. (The TV was on because news radio was alerting the world that there was great footage to stroke to. Yes, we listen to news radio in the morning because we are superior beings. Kneel, dogs.) As the buildings collapsed I thought, I mean, are people that scared of having an original thought that they have to crowd out any possibility of a clue arriving

RIP Gough Whitlam

Gough Whitlam died today. The important difference between this event and his dismissal from the Prime Ministership in the Australian 1970's? There was no CIA involvement. I was a child in the 1970's. When I was old enough to ask, "What happened? How did that happen?" My elders told me they half expected at the time something like a civil war to break out. People were devastated, they were enraged, they were also electrified. The United States of America, to put it bluntly, includes Australia as a remote colony, an outpost. When Gough Whitlam threatened Pine Gap the CIA had to get involved. Pine Gap, located in remote Australia, is a key asset to United States air and space superiority. Many Australians are excited to be part of an Imperial power structure. Many powerful Australians are over the moon at the opportunity to be included in US games of global domination. Whether conspiracy, madness or just weakness, many Australians were quite happy for the US to take

Onlookers

I'm having a bit of trouble with social media because I keep wanting to tell people to die of cancer. This is because I want many, many Australians to die of cancer. Today. Painfully. While I watch. Well, I wouldn't be strictly watching because my eyes would be rolled back into my head as I experienced an hour-long orgasm as hate left my system in a crippling wave of ecstasy. The next AFP top cop says this wave of terror is like no other and he's right: the terrorists are all born Australian know nothings, the type who love to hate an outsider because it's the perfect crime. Look at me defending my family, I am a good person and it is merely coincidence that I get to indulge my worst urges. I want to come on their faces. I have urges too. And you're right, it's not sexual, it's about establishing dominance. I am so afraid of these people that I'm a mess of power fantasies. I get it. The idea is to hit the nation like a log until it's split int
