"A sunny day boogeying on down with all my musical family in one of Auckland's many pretty parks, at one of each summer's many free events. Followed by a refreshing swim at one of the coastline's many stunning beaches. The council putting on a descent fireworks display to welcome us back in the city, then maybe even some more cranking on one of a number of choice dancefloors with the rest of my musical brethren. Good times!"
"The battle of the sexes might just be as timeless as the universe itself. Yet then we have lifetime partners like swans, and kea. What's funny is that no matter what us humans try, most just fall into our own traps in the again and again. Still, it must make great entertainment for anyone watching *-)"
"NZ needs to harden the f^<& up to those interested in the colonial status quo; pressure from 'virtually' more powerful economic nations; and greedy psychopaths: and get back on track creating a forward thinking socially inclusive, self-sufficient island nation, leading the world towards a more content Mother Earth."
"Actually I DO mind the fact that the current interpretation of the word 'mind' in the english speaking world has become overly complex throughout the dialects, and a high level of contextual conceptialisation is needed to understand any given use.
:-P"
""A correctly trained mutt will always show unailing affection for it's master regardless of any punishments received."
Nah, that's all a farce. It's all about the floppy ears and shaky leg dreams and capturing them on home videos!"
"I've always said my great great (and great?) grandfather was the last pirate to be hung in England. It's a tale told to me when I was a wee lad by my grandfather. I neglected to ask whether it was true all these years, and then he died.
He had also said we were runaway German Jews who took the name Benson in the 19th century to appear more financially grounded, but that's even more uncertain.
It must of had some effect on me though as I'm also saying 'Aaaarr Vey'!"
"Going southside is about discovery and exploration. It's like a whole other world down there, with more varied faces than I could imagine aswell! Always fun!"
"Reusing our resources, not destructing our future,
Endless opportunity in the steaming rubbish heaps,
Bucket bots make a click click clack,
They also make great dong dong drums,
Ding from the bottle,
Dang dang from the can,
Not out of anger, not out of heat,
We do it for the music, always making beats."
"Crew on a boat to Tasmania, walk and bike to the north of the island, crew on another boat to mainland Australia. Meander to Cape York in the North meeting and helping out all the good people on the way (this could take a while). Then crew again on boats to visit and do the same in the Torres Straight islands, and the same in Papua New Guinea, through Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, all of IndoChina, bike around India (dance to some Bhangra). After visiting Bhutan and helping keep their gross national happiness stoked up, cross the Himalaya from Nepal into Tibet. A few more years in China then across the Bering for the most almighty helpful hitch-hiking road trip across Canada. Then just keep going! (There's still the Andes to visit and the Amazon, Iquacu Falls, the Pantanal, the Pampas, Cape Horn...)"
