WELL TIME AND THE UNIVERSE HAVE A FUNNY WAY OF PUTTING YOU IN DIFFERENT PLACES AND CREATING DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES FOR YOU TO GO THROUGH TO EITHER GAIN STRENGTH AND INSIGHT FROM THE EXPERIENCE OR CRUMBLE AND FAIL. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH QUITE THE ORDEAL OF LATE AND I AM DETERMINED TO PREVAIL IN THE FACE OF IGNORANCE AND VILE HUMAN BEHAVIOUR. RECENTLY I WAS INVITED TO DONATE MY TIME PERFORMING ON WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE VARIETY BASH AS A ROVING COMEDIAN ON A ROAD TRIP FROM TOWOOMBA TO BATHURT AND INITIALLY WAS DELIGHTED TO JOIN IN WITH WHAT I THOUGHT WERE WELL MEANING PEOPLE FRONTING A CHILDREN'S CHARITY. UNFORTUNATELY WHAT I ENCOUNTERED WAS A PACK OF FERAL PEOPLE ON A QUEST TO PARTY AND DRINK AND SEX THEMSELVES INTO A STUPOR, GOING FROM TOWN TO TOWN PATTING EACH OTHER ON THE BACK FOR APPEARING TO DO GOOD BY OUR COMMUNITY AND DISADVANTAGED AND DISABLED CHILDREN IN NEED. NOT ONLY DID I WITNESS HUMAN BEHAVIOURS THAT I THOUGHT HAD BEEN LONG EXTINGUISHED FROM CIVILISED GROUPS OF PEOPLE BUT ALSO HAD TO ENDURE DAYS OF EMOTIONAL ABUSE VIA CONSTANT INSULTS ABOUT MY GENDER WHEN A RUMOUR GOT OUT THAT IT MAY BE IN QUESTION. I WILL NOT DENY THAT I DID MEET SOME LOVELY AND SINCERELY GOOD PEOPLE ON THIS REVOLTING ROAD TRIP BUT EVEN THEY WATCHED ON AS I WAS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AND DID NOTHING TO STOP THE ORGANISERS FROM ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME, SO IN MY MIND THEY ARE NO BETTER. I LEFT ON THE FOURTH DAY AND BELIEVE IF ANYONE ON THIS THING HAD ANY DECENCY THEY WOULD HAVE PUT A STOP TO THIS VILE DRUNKEN AND DISCRIMINATIVE BEHAVIOUR AND WOULD HAVE LEFT AS I DID IF A REASONABLE RESULT WAS NOT ACHIEVED. I HAD DAMIAN THE CLOWN RING ME THE OTHER DAY ON SATURDAY 18/10/08 A FULL 10 DAYS AFTER I LEFT THE BASH TO ASK ME WHAT WAS I DOING? (I HAVE GONE TO THE MEDIA , CHANNEL 9 A CURRENT AFFAIR ON AIR TONIGHT AT 6.30PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME) HE HAD SEEN THE ADVERTISEMENT ON THE SHOW AND FINALLY HE WAS CONCERNED AS TO HOW I WAS AND LET ME KNOW IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT I WAS SELFISH AND WAS RUINING THE GOOD NAME OF VARIETY. WHAT A JOKE , I TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS NOT ME THAT WAS RUINING THEIR NAME IT WAS HIM AND ALL THE BINGE DRINKERS AND DISCRIMINATORS THAT WERE RUINING IT'S NAME AND THAT THEY SHOULD ALL TAKE A GOOD LOOK IN THE MIRROR AT THEMSELVES AS IT WAS THEIR BEHAVIOUR THAT WAS IN QUESTION NOT MINE. I HAD SENT HIM A TEXT THE DAY I LEFT WANTING A RESPONSE AS TO WHY I HAD BEEN PUT THROUGH SUCH AN ORDEAL AND WHY NO ONE HAD GIVEN A SHIT TO EVEN RING OR FIND OUT WHERE I WAS OR IF I WAS DEAD OR ANYTHING. I WAS SO DISGUSTED THAT WHEN I GOT HOME FROM A DAY LONG HORRIBLE JOURNEY FROM MUDGEE TO LITHGOW ON BUS AND THEN LITHGOW TO SYDNEY ON A DISGUSTING TRAIN AND THEN AFTER QANTAS PLANE BEING GROUNDED FOR ELECTRICAL FAULTS AND 2 HR DELAY I FINALLY GOT HOME TO BRISBANE EXHAUSTED AT AROUND 6.30PM. AFTER SLEEPING LIKE A LOG I AWOKE WITH THE RESOLVE TO GET JUSTICE VIA THE MEDIA FOR WHAT I HAD BEEN PUT THROUGH AND A CURRENT AFFAIR ARRIVED AT 11.00AM AND FILMED UNTIL AROUND 3.30PM AND THE REST IS HISTORY. AT THIS STAGE IT IS BEING AIRED TONIGHT AT 6.30 BUT WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED AS TO ANY CHANGES IN ITS SCHEDULING. I WILL BE POSTING THE FULL STORY WHEN EVER I HAVE THE CHANCE BUT UNTIL THEN I WILL ADD THE VIDEO OF WHAT VARIETY IS SUPPOSED TO STAND FOR AND WHERE IT BEGAN AND WHAT IT DOES FOR CHILDREN ALL OVER THE WORLD. IT IS JUST A SHAME THAT A FEW IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE HAVE HIJACKED THE CHARITY AS AN EXCUSE TO PARTY AND EXHIBIT REVOLTING BEHAVIOUR IN THE NAME OF CHARITY AND ALL THE WHILE PATTING EACH OTHER ON THE BACK FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE GOOD DEEDS THEY CONGRATULATE THEMSELVES FOR DOING. DAMIAN THE CLOWN TOLD ME ON THE PHONE THAT THEY HAD RAISED 1.9 MILLION DOLLARS IF I HEARD CORRECTLY ON THIS PARTICULAR VARIETY BASH AND HOW DARE I DO THIS TO THE CHILDREN, TO WHICH I REPLIED THAT I WAS DOING NOTHING WRONG BY THE CHILDREN AND THAT IT WAS HIM AND HIS VILE GROUP OF YOBBO RIFF RAFF THAT WERE RUINING IT FOR THE CHILDREN AND I TOLD HIM THAT RAISING MONEY FOR DISABLED CHILDREN WAS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR BAD BEHAVIOUR AND BINGE DRINKING. THE WHOLE THING IS A DISGUSTING MESS AND I NEVER WANT TO EVER INVOLVE MYSELF WITH THESE SORTS OF PEOPLE EVER AGAIN. MORE TO COME....
