Musing tonight about a few things. The dating site I joined really has been an eye opener and many on the site do not actually know what they are looking for (me included)! I have been very lucky with the guys I have met, and in general, they have been personable and have treated me well.
I have been talking to another couple of guys from the site but we haven't 'dated' (awful word). M is someone I met whilst out on a date with another guy. We have the same background and have got on fantastically. He is going through a bit of a crises at the moment and has talked to me about it tonight. He has been offered a part in a Porn Film.....he he he....I can see you all hiding your shocked mouths behind your hands. Get over it!!
I was most interested in his news and proceeded to quiz him on it. I really thought he was winding me up and made him jump through some hoops in order to satisfy my curiosity. Apparently the form, is to submit your C.V, complete with most intimate detail, then off for medical tests (which apparently come back in 24hrs) and 'Bobs your Uncle'! He is looking forward to having fun with a couple of nubile young women, who would probably not normally give him the time of day (a little unfair as he is pretty gorgeous) but hey ! who am I to judge. Have fun M! Oh and do not forget to report back to me!
Another guy who is known to me as P is going through a long recovery after a Paragliding accident so we talk about pain and drugs and dealing with bad breaks in life. He is such an interesting guy and I love talking to him. He is also much braver and stronger than I will ever be. The lesson I have learned from the site is that there is more to life than dating pretty boys and there are some great people out there.
I have been ensconced in the Michael Palin's diaries. 1969 to 1979 - The Python Years. He is a very mild mannered man, who expresses himself in his writing. Until now, I did not realise how much of the Python/Ripping Yarns/Holy Grail/Jabberwocky/Life of Brian he was responsible for. I honestly thought it was John Cleese that wrote most of Python. It seems not. Cleese has been in psychotherapy for most of his adult life (not a critiscism) and it seems, is unable to multi task like Palin. Funny isn't it? It is always the quiet ones you have to watch! Palin is a very principled man and I admire his personal discipline. I suspect he also suffers with Aspergers.
One of his entries is dated Tuesday March 16th, 1976 (just managed to miss the Ides!). He says 'Harold Wilson is resigning'. At that moment in time I was in an R.E lesson with my form tutor a Mr Phil Jagger, who we absolutely adored. He would say things like 'pin back your lug holes and listen!' It was my first year at 'Big School' before swanning off to KRS in Cyprus, where school was much easier. I digress, our R.E teacher had gone off sick so Phil Jagger took the lesson and decided to play us The Lumberjack Song and other bits of Python rather than teaching us about religion. Most of the class were bored but even at the tender age of 12 , I got Python and was overjoyed at the Python record. Another teacher came in (his first name was Bill, P.E teacher and a good all round shouter, large gold rings and a medallion) and muttered to Jagger ' Wilson has resigned'. 'Fucking Hell' said Jagger. I was monumentally shocked, not by Python but by Jagger!
Thirty three years later and reading about that moment in time, took me right back to it. That my lovely readers is what my previous journals/ a blog is all about. It is recapturing a moment in time and being able to revisit it.
Namaste
