Everyone Has A Story to Tell
The following was written 4 years ago give or take a few days.
It has been nearly three weeks, every time i get a text from her makes the whole situation so much more easier for me. I didnt know her? She didnt know me! But thats not why i am here, im not here to talk about a girl who didnt have the maturity to talk about things.
I am sitting on my bench outside of where i work, i work in a town full of characters, good, bad and very ugly. No matter how ugly (not attractiveness) these people where, they were the ones who actually helped me through a tough time.
You truly dont know someone until you talk to them, and because of the way society is and how peoples attitudes are now its rare to be able to start a conversation with a random person. The occasional person might say "hello", "morning", and when they do you kind of stutter in shock and mumble out a word that resembles "hello". I could sit on this bench all day and the only people who say "hi" are people i know and work with. Not even most other shop workers say hello.
Of course though i am basing all this in Margate high street and during the day. Different rules in early morning with the dog walkers and night time at pubs and clubs. but why is the day so differetent?
Anyhoo, as these people wont talk to me i have decided to start my own stories. Like in real life some are happy, some are sad, some are disturbing and some are seedy.
The first character to pass me is a man, to look at he is in his mid to late 60's, but is actually 45, life hasnt treated him fairly, we shall call him Frank. I see Frank every day i work. Our friend Frank wears a medium length wax coat, not dirty, a pair of dark blue jeans and a simple pair of bright white trainers. Clothes wise Frank is very clean, but you notice that his finger nails are really dirty, he has a bushy beard that has crumbs in it, yellow teeth and very greasy straggly hair. It seems weird his clothes look so clean but he looks so rotten, he doesnt even have a bad odor about him.

Venetian Snares
My first gig of the year was at Coalition in Brighton for Venetian Snares. Honestly not to fussed about the music, i have heard better on my gig trips, but it did have something that i dont usually get at gigs, and that was a good old fashioned mosh.
Now i haven't properly moshed since i saw Hundred Reasons at Leas Cliffe in 2002. I had a brief go of it at HEAVY in 2009 but nothing crazy. This time i thought i might as well go with the flow and had myself a good old mosh, and i'm proud to say i am yet to fall over in the pit. But there was some douche bag who had the weirdest mosh technique i have ever seen, i think he thought he was in The Matrix. The man had dread locks. So when he decided he wanted to throw his face about i got whipped in the eyes, throat and worst of all mouth. There is nothing like dirty hair tossed into your mouth.
One thing i need explaining to me is the basketball jerseys, now i understand the band t shirts, tour dates t shirts, i even kind of understand plain t shirts, but basketball t jerseys? I dont think i have ever seen anyone wear an official football jersey to a gig.
My highlight of the evening however was seeing my cousin throw himself into a whole bunch of people. He is 36 when will the boy grow up haha (see earlier blog post on growing up)

Beauty Regime
I recently had this crazy idea that if i were to look after myself a little bit better i would feel a bit better about myself. So i decided to cut out all fizzy drinks, cut down on my portions of food and stay away from any late night snacking. I also went for the whole moisturizing, ex foliating and body butter treatment thingy. Which cost me £30 in total. Thanks Tai.
So far so good with the food, i got a compliment at work from someone who hasnt been there for three weeks and she said it looked like i had lost weight, soo wooo hoooo.
The beauty treatment is going well, i was amazed that the ex foliating is going so well, my legs and bum are so smooth, always good. And the body butter makes me smell fruity which is better than smelling of nothing. In myself i still feel pretty negative but hopefully in time all this will help me feel better.

To Cute!
In my life i can honestly say i have not met that many cute girls. Of course i have seen them on Tv, film but never in real life. I have seen plenty of hot girls in my life, and i have seen girls where i have looked at them and my male machismo has gone into overdrive and i have said "i would".
Now recently i have seen two girls that have come into my shop where they are just sooooo cute, that i go all gushy. The first one is someone i work with friends, i told her she had a really cute friend and she replied with "oh god that means you fancy her", to which i replied "no i dont she is just to cute".
The second one came in a couple of fridays ago, she brought two games, when she came up to the till i was once again kind of gushing towards her and blithering like a complete tool, those are signs of attraction which confuses things even more. She even held the games at breast level so i felt really bad when i checked her out.
All i want to do to both of them is just give them a big squeeze and put them in my pocket for another squeeze later. With a hot girl your gonna wanna do dark dirty stuff to. So who do you go for?

Morgan Spurlock
I tucked into a dirty Mcdonalds the other day, the first smell is delightful and the taste is good, but afterwards i cry a little from the dirtiness of whats inside my body. This then get me thinking onto good old Morgan Spurlock and his extremely shitty documentary Super Size Me.
Im not to sure what he is actually trying to achieve, he is telling us that if you eat Mcdonalds for 30 days your gonna get ill. No shit sherlock, its not just Mcdonalds that can make you ill, if you eat the same thing for 30 days surely your not getting what your body needs and its going to damage you. Lettuce is good for you perhaps i should eat nothing but that for 30 days, and see if im healthy. Probably not. Im only drinking water at the moment, and so many people have said to me dont drink to much you can flood your lungs, so water isnt even safe these days.
What annoys me most about the documentary is that Spurlock has managed to make a mint out of something we already know, so i dont understand why no one had already made this type of documentary, did respectable film/docu makers feel it was a lame ass documentary that wasnt ground breaking or good for their career?
Well done to him tho, made an easy buck.

Death
What happens when you die? A question that will never be answered. So many different ideas about the whole life after death so here's my take on it.
We simply live our life over, the bright light we see when we die is the bright light we see when we are born, dying and gliding through your mums womb is a traumatic experience, the trauma wipes your memory clean, well near enough. To me this can help explain deja vu, we have been there before. I would like to think tho in the re run of our life we make different choices, the good and the bad choices need to balance but i really hope you get that chance.
The only thing i dont want to happen when you die is infinite nothingness. Dead Space.
If not can come back as Mary Elizabeth Winstead's future husband?
