Do You Remember.

[billy the kid]

Hunters and Collectors hit entitled "Do you see what I see" caused me to remember
what it was once like in Australia...
We all have many many fond memories....
Perhaps we can pause for a while to remember the good times....
I remember when I was working back in the day, I would pretend to lather and shave my sons
face with the reverse side of my bic razor and watch him grin from ear to ear with some of
his front teeth missing...(he was five....)
I would then have brekky, feed the bub, leave for work about 8.45..wave to everyone....
Weekends involved mowing the lawn, washing the car, taking the kids to the beach..
a back yard barby and watching Lillee and Thompson pound the poms on the idiot box...
Then do it all again on Monday.....
What has changed for everything to be so fucked.....

I remember being out til dark as a kid without having to worry about being raped, stabbed or shot

I guess reminiscing about the past is pretty boring.....
Or is it an indictment on our current day society/humanity which
suggests that its pretty much fucked.....
No-one wants to make a comparison because of the pathetic traits
humanity has created....

I remember there were very few whackadoos around. They were probably all in 'care'. Now they are everywhere!

After lunch, I would hop on my bike and go find friends to play with. Mom told me to be home at 5 for supper. We used to ride skateboards, play baseball, football, soccer, or basketball. We even used to make ramps and jump garbage cans on our bicycles. We would build tree houses in the woods and make rope swings over a local creek.

We had a game called "newspaper tag". It was like tag, but instead of touching someone, you hit them with a rolled up newspaper. If you were slow, you learned to throw really well. Headshots didn't count, but still happened at times.
