sgt. pepper's lonely tour of melbourne

i walked across melbourne today listening to sgt. peppers. it was raining and miserable, but i'm a good companion for myself so i'm relatively content. the music alway seems to be the end result, but its that fucking journey that seems to be the most important. right? now, to find someone to tell about my walk. is there anyone there? anyone listening? funny thing i am, a human that is. always looking for some poor soul to spout my bullshit off to. not such a bad life if i were consist in my quest. ah, but then what happens when you find that treasure you seek. find another treasure? is that all life can be summed up to: either searching for a treasure or searching for a treasure to search for. ouch, my head hurts.

well if you want to soothe the pain. grab john, paul and the boys (most people say the beatles are only good after rubber soul, but i like the old stuff just as much) and go for a walk.

the thing is, being on the other side of the world, immersed in a new culture, i find myself in the exact same place as i am at home. i'm such a wanderer. but i have to laugh at myself as i wander alone through the cities of the world (typically i'm broke), because no matter where i am on the planet i'm almost always in the exact same spot, just walking alone, taking notes on others and myself. its fun.

like that old descendants song says: "everything sucks today", so you might as well sing it from the top of your lungs and with a keen pop hook.

jgd?
