Its finally here! Hilltop Hoods limited edition vinyl, Fall from the Light. #hilltophoods #fallfromthelight

At the end of Year 9, I changed schools — not because anyone told me to, but because something in me knew I had to.
I was tired of waiting to be kicked out. I wanted to leave on my own terms.

20,000 words down. A lifetime still to go.

Illiterate kid turned storyteller. Blak voice in a city built not to hear me.

Not writing to inspire. Writing to survive.

#BlakMemoir #20kStrong #KeepWriting

I grew up learning to fight — not just with fists, but with silence, shame, and survival.
The streets didn’t teach me to win. They taught me to endure.
There’s a difference.
Now I look back, not to glorify it — but to own it.

Some kids remember school for the lessons.
I remember hiding under stairwells, dodging teachers, and wondering why no one ever noticed I couldn’t read.

I’m writing this memoir for the ones who slipped through the cracks and are still climbing back out.

From the pages of Growing Poor, Illiterate and Blak in a Rich City — a memoir in progress.

I got into a fight behind the library.
Didn’t start it — didn’t walk away either.
It wasn’t about who was right. It was about not being the kid who backed down.

There were no real winners.

Some kids wagged school to muck around.
I wagged because I couldn’t face another day of pretending I was dumb.

Growing Poor, Illiterate and Blak in a Rich City — a memoir about what gets left out of school reports.

I wasn’t dumb

But when words on the page wouldn’t stay still and no one had time to explain, it was easier for them to label me then listen.

This isn’t a story about growing up poor, it’s about falling through the cracks.

Australia relaxes curbs on US beef imports that angered Trump Australia will ease restrictions on beef imports from the United States, the country's agriculture ministry said on Thursday, potentially smoothing trade talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, who had attacked its rules.

Absolutely horrified by Labor removing biosecurity restrictions on US beef. As a die‑hard Labor supporter, I’m gutted that they’ve risked our food safety and disease‑free brand to appease trade deals. This isn’t leadership, it’s recklessness.

Some memories don’t fade — they ferment.
You grow up thinking time will wash it all away,
but some things settle deeper.
Not gone. Just heavier.

📚 Still writing. Still remembering. Still unravelling.

This guy gave off serious anger issues. Not sure I’d trust debating him without security nearby.

Watched this and thought you did a great job. He called out some very racist people who were only there to p

It’s not trauma every chapter. Sometimes it’s just a memory that makes you laugh, shake your head, and wonder how you all fit in that tiny car.

I didn’t grow up rough by choice. I grew up rough because the world didn’t leave me many other options. Still here though. Still writing. Still telling the truth, even when it hurts. #MemoirInProgress #BlakAndBrave #WritingLife

Parra had it at halftime, then let it slip, the story of our season. 😓
Meanwhile, the Raiders (my backup team/life in Canberra insurance policy) are flying high at the top of the ladder.
Wife, daughter, granddaughter, all smiling. Me? Quietly hurting in blue and gold. 💙💛💚

Some weeks, I write for therapy. Some weeks, I write the truth. This week, I wrote because the stories wouldn’t let me sleep till I told them.

Writing a memoir is wild. One minute you’re nostalgic, the next you’re wondering how you survived your own childhood.

I need to know from people who defend Trump. Which part of his personality tells you he wouldn't do it?

#AFL #WayneCarey #SamNewman

Wayne Carey reckons he’s the victim while talking to Sam Newman, one of the most racist voices in Aussie media. This is the same guy who slept with his teammate’s wife? If he’s now standing up for women’s rights, we’re truly cooked.

“Love how billionaires confuse ‘I own the rocket’ with ‘I understand orbital mechanics’. Musk’s Mars plan just got called the ‘stupidest thing ever’ by an actual physicist.”

Got my Hilltop Hoods tickets for Feb 2026 — pumped, but damn, it’s a long way off.
Guess I’ll survive the wait with the new vinyl dropping in August.
