Last night I tucked myself in bed and settled down with a cup of tea to watch Top Gear (BBC2 8pm) and then Notting Hill (channel 4 9pm) Not a very adventurous evening but it did for me…
…Now this is where I become all cynical (like theres any other way I know how to be) It appears to me the the whole William/Anna (Hugh Grant/Julia Roberts) love story is a total sham!
Any relationship that begins with either party messing the other about, or generally fucking the other one over is doomed to failure and will end the same way, with the said party fucking the other one over AGAIN. (Trust this voice of BITTER experience).
A better ending for that film would be Anna jetting off back to America to be with her ex partner (always worse looking but more money!), or her falling for Hugh Grants characters best mate Max, and splitting up another relationship in the process (Grass being greener on the other side and all that). It would be true to life and so much more believable than the “Happily Ever After” that just DOESN’T happen in real life!!
Now as my title suggest there are no road signs to paradise, and thats because it doesn’t exsist. We make our desicions with what we’ve got, most of the time making the best of a shit poor situation. Its a lesson I have learnt well that I make my own way in life, So after pondering over the Notting Hill story line for far too long (I really need to get a life). I have finally come to a conclusion, Next time a bloke messes me about at the begining of a relationship I will definitly be the first to get in and open the door for the end of it, if nothing else to wipe the satisfied smirk off his face of him gettnig there first!!
Believe it or not after that tirade I’m actually in a rather pleasant mood, the fog must being doing something to my nerve endings or something as I’ve had to serve some of the worst customers in the world this afternoon, but even they haven’t been able to upset me. I think it may be down to retail therapy.
Jordans Christmas/Birthday list is now as follows PS2, (Slimline Silver), XBOX, Nintendo Gameboy Advanced SP (Arctic Blue), a Globe (he asked for it) a telescope (again he asked for it) and some new trainers. I think I neeed to stop buying for him now and concentrate on everyone else!!
