chopper
Let me say from the get go that I do NOT approve of violence. In any shape or form. But call me a commie pinko liberal and I say give a man a second chance. Like Mark ‘Chopper’ Read. The subject of the movie Chopper starring Eric Bana. Well, at my second premiere of the Sydney Film Festival, did I or did I not meet Chopper? The real one?
Let me also call a spade a spade. A crim a crim and a man with a great story a man with a great story. For those who think otherwise, look away now.
Mark Chopper Read is the real deal. Johnny Boxer is the real deal. Men with a history that is both unattractive and yet compelling. Men that want to spend a day in a bar with you to see if they can shock you (coming from Belfast, lads, that’s kinda hard but still my eyes watered).
Charisma is charisma. Charm is charm. It’s hard to reconcile with the anti violence peace at any price streak in me but they don’t judge so why should I?
Me and Chopper have a date later this week. So more, later. This week,

Wow! And wow again! Having read (most of) his books, I say again, wow!
Jeez, quit with the fun already. Slow down. Actually, scrub that. Groove on!
