'they always come back'..... as Molly so rightly pointed out about my last thread, its one of those places, particularly where there are fora, if it were just dating, i at least would have packed it in yonks ago... that said, im not the mouth on a stick i used to be... old age does that to a fellow, but the odd comment here hurts no-one...think ill stick around till the next time i take a leave of absence...
Cheers to all of you who have contributed to my little wall of weird over the last 5 years (crikey, has it really been that long), its been interesting and more than a little bit of fun, but life moves on and we move with it...so lads and lassies, have the best of times weather its here or out in the real world.... Regards, AB / Lardzeppelin / Brandenburger....
Subway...(luc besson) Robocop...(paul verhoven) Breakfast Club (damn right Molly)...[and just about anything by john hughes] Miracle Mile...(steve de'jarnett) The Terminator...(a young james cameron)
weekday mornings / talk radio / breakfast show... in the car / some CD or other... this morning....Tom Waits / Closing time....(superb)... tonight (now) / the sound of the fridge compressor....
....In a lift (cos no-one can escape), fake ring your phone and answer...."yes, we disposed of the body, thats right, plastic bags, no, we cleaned the bathroom with bleach afterwards"....then just close the phone like it was nothing...maybe hum the theme tune, 'the girl from Ipanema' quietly under your breath....
theres a huge amount of good to be said of having your freedom to live your life the way it pleases you....there are dozens of things that you cant change in your life that will grind you down....no need to let a bloke be one of them...(or woman, if taken from the male perspective)...
Ah yes, with 'peanuts' the dog....christ, thats going back some years... Women with a french accent who cook dumplings, dig heavy metal and dont talk when Im watching a film are as rare as horses that speak mandarin...(if ya get my drift)...besides, I have a nice lady 'on the guest list' so to speak, and i still have all the time in the world for 'lovely little me'....lifes pretty good!....
but, but, but your one of the good guys!, "if you really loved me you would let me sleep with my basses and eat curry in bed and have cake for afters"...(sob, sob, boo hoo)....thats it, im filing a motion for incompatability....
I wrote a load of guff here a minute ago and thought, well, it all sounds a bit "woe is me"....to cut the BS, Freya and Anna, you are both correct at a point.... Sell Out is when compromise feels conscripted...and yes, i have been there....nobody's fault but mine, and the funny thing is, I have repeated the same pattern a couple of times since..... To paraphrase the song..."the things we do for love".... Is there a lesson learned at this late hour.....I should co-coa....
Yes Anna,I have, which is what prompted me to post this as a thread topic... I think we all have the ability to reflect on our pasts and see the good and bad therein, however, being honest and open with others (and i mean that in an outwardly sense) is what we need to be... i am a self confessed 'poor mans hedonist', no financial wealth to speak of, but a handful of things that in this later stage of my life make me 'me', and I know I traded it (at to early an age) for a belief that there was something more to life than just my pleasures (we wont stress the obvious of family and friends, which i maintain in my life are a constant delight).... As a younger man, I thought I could put aside the things that defined me, in fact it only made me resentful, and post marriage break up sent me back to where I was before, and Fast Forward, 20 years, im still here...A bad thing?, well, you could argue that I have not moved on in my life, but I would counter that, I am happy in my life, and while of course (why should i say "of course") I would like to have a close companion, I'll be damned if I'll put aside the very things that make me the person I'm happy to be.... Whoop, Whoop.....Its my life.... ...Now where did all that come from.... I blame he scrambled eggs, they told me to say it!....
I have a version upstairs done by a classic influenced rock band called 'The Enid', if memory serves me its called 'she once was'....utterly fabulous... On your latin, ill post some of Vivaldi's 'Gloria' for ya, now thats really stirring stuff...(about 300 years old, but good music never goes out of fashion)...
