I am only 27 but even now I am begining to notice that I am becoming a bit of a fricking light weight when it comes to the boozy boys nights out. It was only seven years ago when I could go to Amsterdam and do what ever, stay awake for a few nights drinking none stop with the only effect being a bit of dodgy stomach and a fuzzy head. But I am afraid that middle age is setting in, for a start a can't eat a steak with out a glass of cab merlot to wash it down with. I thought that was something that snobs and old people did, but worse than that is the fact that beer is becoming lees and less tasty, I now refuse sambuca shots, the music in pubs and clubs is far to loud and I can always remember what I did the next day but I still get worse hangovers than I ever have before. Old age Sucks
When will I ever learn, I swore in my last post that I would never ever let my wife pick the movies we watch, but when she flashes those big brown eyes and makes promises of which I will not go in to here, its hard to resist. But to save any one else from the same fate that I have just endured I thought I would leave this piece of advice for any man contemplating taking his better half to witness the train wreck that is The Sex And The City movie. Fork out the extra money and take you beautiful wife to the best hotel you can find treat her like the queen she is and hope that she forgets all about Carrie and her Jimmy Choo shoes.
My arse had the undoubted misfortune of sitting through a movie that has to be up there as one of the worst movies of all time, I am Legend. This plague turns everyone into vampires except for one survivor story line seems to me like it has been done a million times before. I don't care how realistic you make the special effects there was nothing that was going to make this film worth watching. Even Will Smith, who put in a pretty solid performance, must now be waking up in the middle of the night with cold sweats wondering (along with the rest of the English speaking world) what the fuck was I snorting when I agreed to do this total piece hoss shite. Oh well I will have to learn from this experience, never to let my wife pick the movie again.
There is a song by some guy, I think his name is Paolo Ntini, called New Shoes. In it there is line that says "Hey I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything is right" genius or what. I mean this guy must be some sort of great philosopher, think about it. How often have you been planning a big night out and not really been up for it until you buy your new shoes. Suddenly the sky is bluer, the grass is greener, your pot belly has shrunk a few sizes and you know for sure everyone is staring at you thinking how wonderful you look. It's a great feeling nothing comes close to giving you that high, well apart from cocaine, ok so nothing natural anyway, well maybe a good hair cut. Look it's a great tune so give it a listen.
Ever since we are born we are told that the grass is green and that the sky is blue. But what if we all see our colours differently. For example your blue might be what i see as red and my green could be your purple. Think about it.
