Me And Me STEEL BLUE BOOTS

All Praise Steel Blue ! Yes I know it’s been a while, but it takes a lot these days to stir me from sitting out on the back deck, high on the hill, looking across the valley, slurping a coupla beers. I am here to tell you that a couple of days ago my world weary cynicism was SHATTERED! Yes folks, SHATTERED. So what happened, you ask? Let me tell you. I love me boots, the Australian Male is bugger all without his shed, AND HIS BOOTS!! So anyway, on the recommendation of me two sons I bought meself a pair of Steel Blue work boots, jeez, when I tried ‘em on I thought I had died and gone to heaven, I actually felt like a bit of a wuss, to be honest, these boots were so comfortable. At this point, you needs to know that, due to age and a lifetime of misbehaviour, me body is pretty well screwed, and I gotta have great boots, to soften the blow every time me foot hits the ground. So, it is now established that these Steel Blue boots are shit hot! After about a year or so the right boot heel decides to fall to bits, “Bugger” I thought, however, being the bronzed Anzaz type of bloke I didn’t worry about it, till I started walking round in semicircles, due to the loss of traction in me right heel. Now, I’m not the sort of bloke that whinges and whines about life and all, however, these were me boots!! So I take me email maker in hand and emails said “Steel Blue” company, not expecting much (refer to world weary cynicism somewhere in the first few lines) Was I ever surprised when I gets an email from a bloke called Ryan, threatening to come up the hill from wherever “Steel Blue” calls its home, and bring me a new pair of boots!! DO WHAT! So he shows up less than two days later, explains that they had a production problem with a batch about when I bought mine, and presents me with a BRAND NEW, BOX AND ALL, pair of boots. (He subsequently took the box with him, so as to carry the faulty boots back to the lab) What do I think about this. “ALL HAIL STEEL BLUE” Take it from me, go buy yourself some serious boots. Cheers Marius

Introspection Strikes Marius

A cold rainy day, the first in a long while, I am in my studio, and was about to play around with my brand new recording studio, (samplitude 2013), when, CARAMBA!! SAPRISTI JIM!!, I was struck by the two hands of nostalgia and introspection.
 Hence the two posts just posterated.

I looked back on the Gemini in me. My image of him was that of a young man getting ahead in the world, you know, work hard, play harder!!

The reality was partly true, however, his footsteps were dogged by this creative, self indulgent, maniac who spent a great deal of his time, finding new ways, with the encouragemnt of the eeejits club, of being funny/boorish/scintillating,a bloody nuisance/loud/sincere I really mean that/ and ten kinds of idiot.
Mrs Marius and I come up 50 years married this year. I takes me hat off to her,
she's a miracle.

We are the best of friends and still after these years have lots of conversation, although, we have both heard some of our better stories a few times now.

Survivor

Once I was this person, and ten different kinds of fool at the same time. In later years I came out of the coma and became a sweety, er, almost!

So you think you had it rough
To survive you had to be tough
But surviving just wasn't enough
You had to prove what you were
By being savage cynical so sure

Everything was hard you say
No time for no other way
Hard knocks got in your way
Hard rocks forced you to be
Something you never should be
Cold and strong unable to see
Any
Way
But your own

You cried
Then Lied
And Died
INSIDE

 Is It easy to be so alone
Though your always on the phone
Fighting so hard to stay ahead
When inside
You're
Quite
DEAD

Everybody Wants A Piece

Everybody Wants a Piece

One girl wants my body

Another wants my mind

This one only wants to talk

Because she thinks I’m Kind

This man wants my money

That one wants a friend

Everybody wants a piece

Will it never end

Let go of me my brother

Don’t hang on me my mother

I do not need  another

I do not need a  lover

The boss wants all my time

The dentist wants my teeth

Give my eyes to charity

It’s all beyond belief

I’ll play you some cool guitar

I’ll sing you rock and roll,

I’ll give you all while you give nothing

Just leave me with my soul

Let

me

go

My

Own

Way
