Well, on the one hand I've had an exceptionally good week.

Then, on the other hand I've had an absolutely shite week.

It's a good job I've got two hands.

I am annoyed with what I received in the mail today that was supposed to be 300 assorted Basic Land cards for Magic The Gathering evenly distributed but wasn't.

It's funny how the football teams I support seem to reflect my own feelings of myself. At no stage have I ever felt good enough to support the "in team". In fact I've grown a rather sizable dislike for "in teams". I guess it stems from my dislike of the people who support them. The people of a similar age group who unlike me don't find it difficult to rate themselves as "cool" or "worth it". The same people who when I was in their company would automatically single me out, be nasty to me, and just show a general dislike for the "quiet one".

And I knew what they were going to say if I supported the same team they did. "Ewww, why are you supporting My Team?". So i didn't bother and I always felt an attraction to the underdog, mostly unfashionable teams, which i guess is how i felt about myself.

The two teams i really support are NUFC and P FC. But it goes deeper then them not being popular.The funny thing is when I started supporting P FC they had some of the best players in the world. But those players only became well known when they left for bigger teams. Teams who didn't win anything for a while, despite us winning quite a few cups.

I guess it seems appropriate since all my real life friends ended up moving on to bigger and better things, and ditched the unfashionable guy when they got there. And what of NUFC? The thing about them that reminds me of me is that there's never any stability at the club. One season they can finish high up, the next they can relegate. Ultimately though despite loving both teams immensely, i know deep down they'll never actually win anything major or be regarded as an "in team". I guess that's just like me, and that's why i support them.

i must admit that i am still enthralled by the prospect of playing with people like toys. i have always imagined hilarious social catastrophes that i could be the instigator of (in my spare time). i am older now, and i would not engender the situations i imagine because i have learned that is is not a very good thing to do.

example:

i have seen so many scenes in films where someone says in a desperate tone "i need a hug ! !! ". or someone else says "i think 'someone' needs a hug".

well i imagine a scenario where i arrive at the office (wetherill park) all dirty and wet and cold, and i walk into the tea room and someone asks how i am, and i fold my arms tightly in front of me and walk backwards 3 paces and then face them and say "i need a hug". how would they react? i would like to see their response. it is something i would like to try, but i fear (hope) that their reaction would reduce me to fits of laughter. i can not chance it.

another idea that was more crude that i had was an imagination about a sewerage worker that had fallen into a vat of sewerage and had emerged shell shocked asking for random people on the streets (who seemed concerned) for hugs ("oh god! right now i need a hug"). the facial expressions on the public heads would be intriguing to watch.

i have had it "pointed" out to me that i am wearing 2 odd socks.
i point out in reply that i am only wearing 1 odd sock, and i challenge them to tell me which sock is the odd one.

Nice response!

I used to know one guy who wore one fluorescent yellow sock and one fluorescent pink sock. His primary (and often only) transportation was bicycle and he thought that mismatched socks like that would help.

many people say that you should wear a happy expression on your face in order to make other people feel easy.
if you can not determine how to "put on a happy face" (la la) , then you may defer to wearing your "clown" mask.
but when you put on a clown mask and strut your stuff downtown, things do not go well.
people are like flies.
they are not allowed to crawl on my face.

Lead a Normal Life has a marimba in it, but I think I can arrange the whole song on marimba.
