Dearest ——

Before you get started I know you wanted a letter in handwriting, but I want to write a long letter so you have to put up with the typed version of events. I’m a terrible “writer” if you get my meaning so I hope you can forgive my digitalness.

— just got back from overseas I saw him list night. That was weird. He looked older. He had a wise look on his face. A new look about him. All that time in london must’ve changed him somehow. Made him a man. —- and him hooked up almost instantaniously. Funny bunch!

Allot of socializing lately there seems to be some sort of party in Brisbane every three days. You know what its like here. Everyone has these big back yards full of people. The smell of fresh cut grass, mixed with cigarette and pot smoke. I have a boys club now called tree house, where jamie, ray, marty matt, and I talk secret mens business and smoke joints.

The rule is that if you pass on anything said in tree house we get to punch you in the back of the head when your not looking. Main rule is no-girls.

Its been one of the coldest Brisbane winters ever. I know you will think it couldn’t be that bad compared the Hobart chill.  But with no indoor heating its been a nightmare. Hard to sleep with the cold air nipping your ears. I’ve been good to myself lately. I was recently reborn.

I had the flu bad. I was sick of being indoors and I had been given tickets to the breeders at the zoo. So I went out and drank with three friends to the tunes till we were all deep under lucidity.

After a few joints and still fluey I walked home at 4 in the morning the pavement felt like marshmallows under my feet.

I got home and took 3 night codral and two neurohen plus. The walls of my apartment are melting, My inner voice becomes audible though both ears. I can feel my heart beat in my eyes.

I fell on my bed and passed out, I saw jesus, he flew with me over the crop circles in england, explaining how to decode them.  Spirits dressed as aliens read from the book for revelations too me. A healing light shone from within my body.

Expecting to be sicker, and more hung over than I have ever been, I wake up the next day feeling reborn. I’d been baptized by something outside of me or inside of me. The flu had gone. I haven’t felt better.

Since I cheated death I’ve been on my best behavior. I’ve been thinking about what ill do when the records all finished. When I finish this record with matt, and tour it around australia and europe. I will come home. Ill sell everything I don’t need. Ill by a small car, and Ill put my music collection in storage.

I will buy a block of land out in the bush, hopefully near Rainforest. I will construct a tipi and live in it, only returning to the city to play shows, and record. Well Its a dream I have. Either that or the opposite move to New York city. I can’t decide. Maybe ill do both.

I’ve been a total professional musician lately doing loads of shows in Sydney and Melbourne and recording every day. I even got invited to be a part of the songwriters of Queensland weekend at applewood. Where we all team up and take turns to write songs together. A cd is made afterwards, I can’t believe Im on a list with other Queensland songwriters like casey chambers and shit. HAHA!

Two CDS one is the Daniel Johnson tapes, and another is my most recent home recordings. You’ll probably like them more than the studio record which I will send you in a few months knowing you.

Anyway Ill write you more but you got to write back first.
