we are sharks and dolphins:as I say in my travels ive meet many people some are sharks(trying to take from you) some are dolphins(those who give) it was my second trip to western Australia, I was supposed to get married but the girl well lets say there where circumstances, id walked out of my job we got a new boss he was English and he hated me ,maybe it was cause I was northern Irish who knows but one day he got up my nose so I walked out he got in my way and instead of punching him I hit the door . I walked and got bus home when I got home she was there I did care a lot for her but as I said circumstances talked and I told her I had to get away she asked if I would be back I said I don't know I packed my bag and went to nepean highway and headed west ,a couple days later I rang home and was told she wanted me to come back I felt bad and said ok. I was on the boarder of s.a and w.a I went out and put my finger out(we used finger over in oz) and was standing east trying to get a lift then I thought why so I crossed the road and did the same thing heading west again. I spent a couple hours doing that and thought which ever way I get a lift that's the way IM going. I got a lift west he dropped me off at a intersection he was heading towards esperance I think? I was standing on a corner and this truck stopped he asked where I was going I told him Perth. We talked and it made time go quick we got into Perth about 4 in the afternoon he asked if I wanted to help him unload just take tarps off and help him fold it I thought it was the least I could do, after that he asked if I wanted to go for a cruise around Perth city centre I said yes he unhitched the trailer at yard as they where going to load it and he would pick the trailer up tomorrow and head back to melb.we drove around perving (looking) at the Perth women. He asked if I wanted to go to a pub I said I had no money he said his shout so I said no worries even though I felt guilty but I think he enjoyed the company(plus me being so young he was looking after me) we went to a pub I cant remember the name we had a shower separate of course LOL, I was finished first and was looking at a signed picture of Dennis Lillie a famous bowler from w.a after that we got in the truck and he took me to a strip club really enjoyed it being that age. He told me about the tricks they do he said don't look them in the eye or they sit down and ask to buy them a drink which is charged double.but there where pretty girls there and one was flirting don't know if it was cause I was nt the usual costumer I rem walking out and she was still staring so I smiled and she smiled back probably the drink. We went to the truck I slept on the seat he went to the bunk . He had told me he would drop me off next morning and he took me right to the door and did nt go till I was sure it was right place I thanked him and have never forgotten his kindness and have lived by that way . Wish I could remember his name but lots happened in between and ill tell you them one day.your maybe wondering about the girl she went back to her old fiance and got married she was actually 4 years older than me . I saw her about 6 months later she was about 7 months pregnant I never found out if it was his or mine a friend of ours said it was mine.but ill never know either will the child probably.
