I’m in my notice period. One month.
I have time to ponder the next step.
This is a great opportunity. One not to be wasted. So I’m writing down some future career options to consider. This is what I have so far:
Child prodigy, stripper clown, angry poet, Dallas Cowboys quarterback, submarine commander, heroic astronaut, war poet, President of the United States, Hooters barmaid, cowboy, Han Solo, trapeze artist (Cirque du Soleil), garden ornament, guerilla poet, male model, women’s volleyball referee, vegetarian, revolutionary, dickhead, jazz fusion dancer, lute repairer, melancholic poet, boyfriend, husband, father, wine taster, sit down comedian, Olympic rower, aimless drifter, Next Big Thing, conjurer, MotoGP rider, Booker prize winner, Golf Sale sign holder, deconstructionist, alcoholic, Marxist poet, flâneur, drummer, incredible Hulk (post freak accident), skating dwarf in Snow White on Ice, Hollywood scriptwriter, cat walker, character in Simpsons...
This is good. This is exciting.
I had to look up flâneur (sorry) - it sounds fabulous.
ReplyDeleteFlaneur....a French fluffer, right?
ReplyDeleteFrench porn is usually two very attractive people naked in bed ignoring each other. One says something like 'I love to hate you...' and the other shrugs and plays with themself. They have mental fluffers in France.
ReplyDeleteI don't like cliches. So much so that so far I could not bring myself to thinking that the channel would give two old nations such different ideas of what a porn is. Or maybe it's just that the Brits need to believe we the French are cultivated? Let's be straight here, if the word is at all adequate given the context: a French movie is what you described. At least that's what it was like when I was getting young: people talking of things they might be doing if they can get out of the talking and thinking. I suppose that's what you describe as mental fluffers (not found in dictionary by the way). They don’t have films like that here anymore, not so many anyway. I’m relieved, just think what misery it would be to have another generation like ours with that kind of sexual upbringing.
ReplyDeletePorn here, I'm sad to say as I can imagine it will somewhat ruin a myth, has much more action than words. That porn issue gets me to ponder. Does that mean that you pleople have porns where there is no action, no honking and all the jazz? Na, I'm getting lost. Or maybe I'm fluffing?
Chapeau.
ReplyDeleteAh.
ReplyDeleteI suspected that much.
