Your opportunity to call me a dumbass.

Your opportunity to call me a dumbass.
And yes, looking back at it now, I deserve it.

On my first trip to Australia, I fell in love with Brisbane and Victoria Point and Russell Island. So after an early tour of Brisbane, hosted by my late best friend's friend Mike, he offered to take me to "The Gold Coast". Who names a city that? When I heard those words "Gold Coast" , not knowing anything at the time, and being afraid of heights, I thought he was offering to take me to ocean side cliffs billions of feet above the ocean. NOPE, there really is a sea level city in Australia called "Gold Coast". The irony on my second trip is that Debra, my core host both trips, on the second trip, took me to Byron Bay, which is even further south than "Gold Coast". 

So on my first trip I turned down Mike taking me to a second adventure to "Gold Coast", and opted for a second tour of Brisbane. 

Between my two trips, my first solo trip and my second trip with HB, I stumbled across a movie called " Absolute Deception" staring Cuba Gooding Jr". It was filmed in the city of "Gold Coast". But again, on both trips I didn't know that. But just yesterday, after watching it for the 3rd time since both my trips, I was thinking at the time, I was only watching it because it was filmed in Australia. It only hit me yesterday after watching it this last time, that I missed the opportunity to actually visit the city BOTH TIMES.

YES I AM A DUMBASS.

Why are you not watching the aussie movie with ABBA in it? It's a chick flick, you'd love it.

Silly cow.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

See, the thing to do when someone offers to show you a city you've never heard of, is to ask, 'What's it like there?'

The Gold Coast is awesome!

For the record, Surfer's Paradise is also not a city or an afterlife location for surfers, and Byron Bay, one of my favourite places on Earth, isn't full of guys named Byron.

Gotta wonder how many gay men and straight women feel cheated when they visit Cockfosters for the first time.

If it gives you your jollies, fine. You are a dumbass.

No idea why you would seek such abuse.
