people of Dis.....is it a sad state of affairs when your ideal existence closely resembles that of a nick hornby adaptation?
.......been watching fever pitch see.....bless its cottons.........but it got me thinking.....about that and high fidelity
do all men just aspire to be a paul or a rob?
i mean....i think i might....it all seems so comforting...some sort of base bloke shangri-la..
you can either own a record shop or teach english.....you've got enough for rent and a few records/books/pints per month.....you've got a charming girlfriend who doesn't make you feel anxious or depressed....which sounds boring but it isn't........a close group of soild friends.......trips to the pub/cinema on your own..........your not the smartest or best looking guy but you're ok.....you've read books like the unbearable lightness of being and love in the time of cholera and you think you've understood them...........your flat is small but pleasant and full of things you like and comfortable.......etc etc etc.......with a bit of encouragement you might even do something a little extra to pep your life up (raise a bairn/start your own record lable)
i mean.....shit......it's a bitten down cliche....that blookey bloke horby bloke bloke thing.......but fuck.....it all seems so perfect...does it seem perfect to all men?......am i an idiot for thinking it looks perfect..........does this perfection even exist....is it some depressing bloke wank fest inventd by hornby that we've all bought into?
cause i think it might be acheivable....which is good right?.....or are we all just fucked.
any thoughts?.....(aside from me coming off like a twat for most of this....let's roll that as a given and move on to the points raised)
