well... turn the tv down, listen to bon jovi and watch your compatriot nadal kick some arse in the australian open.... where's dr phil? where are the doctors (another u.s. tv show)... where's the view (with barbara walters?) -- why aren't they on tv now? normally they are -- between shifts....
who is akmed? it turns out he's really an afghani - arrived in australia 2000... told him recently: you know that old guy (the old guy with the kid he had so late in life called dante) -- i used to drive for him in 1999 out of five dock suburb too.... he operates out of our base/warehouse/stable... but me and akmed drive for some other guy there..... when benji was driving in 1999 - akmed had never been here and had probably only ever lived in afghanistan by that point
now let's see: in early 2002 - benji was living in paris and made the acquaintance of one of this high-faluting 'acting teachers' there -- did a couple of classes with him -- this guy boasted of having 'taught' angelina jolie and tom selleck from tv's 'magnum' and christopher walken and all kinds of people (bob mcandrew) -- i figured i'd return to australia around mid 2002 and save up some quick dollars there and then go and study with bob in nyc, as per his invitation -- being around 25 years old at the time
in the end, the stay in australia took 18 months (a dean months) and then was followed by another year in china before going to nyc -- me and bob met up once at his studio but i didn't pursue the classes with him.... almost a year later, in the most obscure, cluttered, crowded and strange chinese suburb and living circumstances, one of bob's movies came up on chinese tv - some chinese movie bob had a credit for... anyway, that's all a bunch of crap, the main important point is as follows:
not long after returning to mt druitt from paris.... the benji made a video collage: first there was some french classical music composer explaining how to play beethoven or some crap -- talking about how 'God' (the very one and the same) had 'arrived at the door' - 'arrivee'.... then there was a news story about some u.s. warplane fighter pilots that were too tired and taking 'go' pills (u.s. airforce sanctioned speed pills to stay awake) - apparently maybe their long shifts were making them make mistakes: cut to u.s. military footage from an f15 eagle and real voiceover from the pilot:
'ok, i've got [inaudible] coming at me' (there was some blob on the road, it could have been enemy afghanis or talibanis with heat-seeking missiles - this was after 9/11 but before the iraq invasion)
news-reader: they were wondering if it was the right decision to shoot
cut to coffin getting pooped out of a military transporter plane draped in a canadian flag
new-reader: 'it was not' (the right decision)
friendly fire death....
cut to the two pilots walking out of some court-marshall in the states, found innocent, with goofy smiles on their faces
if you ever come to australia, stick with watching your news on sbs and forget about the anglo-aparteidists news channels
stay tuned for future potential critiques on dr. phil, doctors, and the view -- after that we got TMZ papparrazzi channel and then it's time to shower and leave for work ---
