To all my ah-mazing subscribers, please forgive me if you receive another email regarding this post. I had to take it down when I found the formatting on the mobile version was seriously fucked up. So, let’s start again. Grab a beverage of your choice sit back and relax and enjoy the video 🙂
It’s officially autumn in Australia, but it appears Queensland didn’t receive the memo as the oppressive heat and high humidity continues.
Fun fact: Queensland has only TWO seasons, wet and dry.
We have a brand NEW video… read on lovers.
WEBSITE UPDATE:
hmmm, no wi-fi The End.
I’m relying on data to get anything done and having to use my phone as a hotspot, so much fun connecting – NOT! So, today I bought a portable wi-fi modem which so far appears to be working well, better than my internet has ever worked in the 3 years that I’ve lived in this part of town, that I call ‘bum fuck nowhere’
So, until I can work some magick on my website I will continue to record and write you Wyld love notes. The following video is a Spoken word piece called ‘AWAKE’
I composed the background music for it. Don’t get too excited, it’s kinda ordinary, but I did it with limited resources, so I was pretty happy with the final result.
I was also going to make this video IG and YouTube friendly, but somehow it didn’t feel right. A big part of who I am and what I do is about being:
REAL RAW OPEN NAKED
And that is not only in how I write, but also how I like to perform, and BE in the world. Many that know me, will know I’m a strong advocate of being comfortable in our own skin with a positive body image, for men and women, and most of my videos will include some form of nudity as aRt.
I hope you like what i’ve done with this piece. I will add the lyrics below the video.
if for some mad reason the following video link does not work, please, please comment below or email me directly so we can get it sorted.
AWAKE ~ (from my collection of poetry ‘A Wyld Love Note’)
Maybe tomorrow I’ll be stronger, Edge the cup from your table, Love you a little less, rather than a little longer.
I am awake, I am awake, Yet when I sleep I fall deep, Into dark places where shadows fall upon the light removing all doubt knowing that when I wake, I was right.
I am awake, I am awake, Until slumber befalls the tears torn on the blood soaked sheet of my mangled feet where I’ve been Running, Running, over broken glass, I thought was soft grass.
My body aches and drives against the needles plunging into my eyes marring my vision, Its messed up and ruined as I wander empty halls against soft calls that lock me down Into a prison, Of waste, Of Haste, A Foul taste, My tongue bleeds, as I swallow your evil words, that live on, and on, and on, until there is nothing left, all eaten, devoured and gone.
It is only when I am awake That I am safe from harm, Safe from your arm that once held me close, Your kiss that deepened my spirit, Taking me deeper into the source of love, A love I’d never known could feel so empty, So empty I could cry, that’s because it was nothing but a dirty messed up fucking lie.
As I drown in a pool of nightmare sweat, I wait for dawn, Every inch of me, Craves sleep as I yawn. But I’m safer this way, As day turns to night, And night into day, For I am awake, I am awake.
Reconstructing or deconstructing – is there a difference? Well one is restoring and the other is breaking down, so I don’t know, you tell me. LOL
This is going to be a very brief post, basically to let you know I’ll either be restoring or breaking down this website and hopefully into something more appealing and up-to-date. Please bear with me 🙂
For those of you who have been following me over on Vimeo will know that my account will be closed and permanently shut down in just a few hours because Vimeo no longer supports artistic expression.
I will post the video and the story behind it here just in case you don’t know and why it’s super important for you to subscribe to my website. It’s super important because a lot of fucking ah-mazing things are going to be happening over here, from videos on body positivity, spoken word, new music, short films and some blogging (god forbid that I may begin writing in a blogging format again) – let’s stick to videos LOL.
My letter to my loyal and supportive followers are as follows and one of the saddest parts for me, besides all the hard work over the past year and 72 videos in the making, is all the fabulous and supportive comments I received over that time. You know who you are, thank you, thank you, thank you. 🙏🏼
Dear 277 followers, I appreciate your support, likes, and comments more than you’ll ever know, and to all of those thousands of people who viewed my videos, I thank you also.
If you enjoy the AFTER DARK SERIES and the soon to be released BEFORE DAWN SERIES, please come on over to my website and subscribe immediately as VIMEO is taking my entire account down in just a few hours.
They believe my belief in body positivity and being comfortable in your own skin is sexually inappropriate. Hypocrisy and double standards I believe are the issue here, as nudity, pornography, and hate speech is well accepted on most platforms. Add sensuality that gets you in touch with your sexuality because we are beautiful sexual, primal beings and then suddenly we are ostracised for it.
I have made this current video as a reminder of the early AFTER DARK EPISODES and also shown you what to do when on my website as there will be a pop up, especially if you are using your phone. If you select FOLLOW as soon as it pops up, the next screen that will appear will be for you to subscribe. Please ENTER YOUR EMAIL. This way, you get to see the videos before anyone else as you will be notified by email as soon as they are uploaded.
I am taking everything, including body positivity, short films, music, spoken word, blogging to my website: wyldanduntamed.com
Please come on over NOW and SUBSCRIBE, and I look forward to seeing you over there.
Thank you always, and truly with love from my heart to yours ❤️

And on that note dear supporters of the Wyld and Untamed I will leave you to ponder the changes I will make to this site and how things will turn out in the future, but the one thing I know for sure, having you here by my side along for the journey means EVERYTHING!
It seems i’ve been deliberating over writing this blog for what feels or seems like forever. I have a thousand thoughts swimming around in my head, and trying to put them down into some articulate form has escaped me.
And now I find myself listening to Rob Zombie blasting from my stereo. I’ve not listened to White Zombie in like forever, and here I am writing this blog to ‘More Human Than Human’ LOUD.
