So the annual cheese rolling thing has been cancelled, you know that big event where people somewhere in rural Britain (can’t remember where) get together and roll a cheese down a hill. Last year hundreds more people turned up then usual and now it’s been cancelled. I know it’s because of health and safety and that kind of thing but it’s a shame when people can’t get up and roll a cheese down a hill when they want to. It’s not like it’s something that sets out to hurt people and everyone knows what the risks are so if someone gets a bit bumped and bruised then hey that’s life! I think so anyway. I think there’s something sort of beautiful about a bunch of people just hanging out on a hill top and doing something odd just for the pure hell of it. The world is way too sensible in my opinion. There’s something really sad about having to be logical all the time. I mean genuinely sad, as in unhappy. I think happiness is all about moving away from logic and moving towards silliness and the surreal. Don’t you think that the world would be a truly bad place if everyone was sensible and logical all the time? Let’s embrace weirdness! Let’s go out and wear different shoes from different pairs if we want to. Why the hell not? Let’s go and grab silliness by the throat. Let’s hug a cheese instead of a tree and bring a bottle of olive oil instead of a bottle of wine! Why not? The only thing stopping us is social rules and inhibition. Sometimes I want to wear a paper crown to the shops and guess what? I do. I get all sorts of reactions. Some people think I’m a bit unstable and some people know I’m making a statement. I don’t care what people think though, I’m me and if I want to think outside the crazy multicoloured box of life then I will.
As most of you know it was recently my birthday, and my friend Cynthia gave me a chemical skin peel as a gift. Now I have to say, I have no idea what she was trying to convey me; but after I got over the relative shock of how strange the present was, I went and realized that it was actually quite enjoyable. I would suggest it to anyone!
