middle-aged

People's life are misrepresented, especially men are misrepresented to women. You know, men have always been built up as heroes in films and so on. My favourite bit of those action films is when that ordinary guy, who turns out to be a hero, and he turned around to his own family and goes “Everybody just shut up! Stop arguing! Do what I’m saying. Trust me for a minute.” That’s when my family all burst out laughing, and pointing at me going “Ha~ha~ha~. imaging how quickly we would be dead! Imaging all the different ways we'd be dying.”

When relationship gets across certain point, you just don’t know what to give each other for anniversaries any more. Cause you’ve been together for so long. It’s not like when you just meet, you go, “There you go, some cotton socks, or whatever it is. It'd be fine. cause back then you're young, stupid, and romantic enough put up with anything. And if you're bit imaginative, you can just roll on top one another, open your mouth, rubies fall out. Things like that can last a while. But once you got to ambiguous middle-age, nobody even know what they're supposed to celebrate for. 10 years, 15 years, 20 years along line, people go "There you go, this is the remote control covered in Nutella, I thought you’d enjoy that."

You know when mid-age comes, it's suddenly when you realised you are seriously uncool. That’s how the age functions. Everything is sort of same, year after year, for ages. It’s like you’re stand there talk to your friends going “Yeah, yeah, anyway, we did this, we did that…” You know while Madonna is there, reassuringly in the background going “like a virgin~” some of these, and then you turn around, suddenly it’s Eminem going “You better never let it go~” a totally different kind of poetry.

Everything is politics really. Even talking to another person can be termed as politics. You can even find politics in romantic relationships. Yeah! Love itself is kind of like terrorism, very aggressive thing. You know, when you fall in love with somebody for the first time, or in the earlier stage of relationship with somebody, you sort of terrorise one another. Expressions like, "I love you so much! I want to rip your spine out, so that I can move in."

Guys tends to get funny when they approach middle-age, they get into things. You know, a hobby or something. "Yeah, I've always interested in woodworks, I just didn't say anything about it until now. I need to go to be with my big lump of wood..." Or a car, go and buy himself a silly little car, a bright-coloured car that nobody else can fit inside and they pretend they can drive it around with their own penis.

I'd like to think of myself a cool guy. I think every man telling themselves they're cool. You have tell yourself this bullshit just to keep going, Like, I found myself spent shit loads of amount of time thinking what would Bruce Lee would have become if he survived and discovered carbohydrates orthopaedic shoes. Yay! That's what I tell myself.

The deal though, the life deal does seem to be very hard, harder for women. Because even physically speaking. If you born, as infant, you’re on your way towards a little girl; If you’re girl, you going towards pubescence where you’ll have menstruation; Then after that you’re on your way to become a full-grown women who can get pregnant; all sorts of physical events are ensued that; Then afterwards just when you think it's all over, then there’s the CHANGE! You know, it's like an opera, wiht masks keep falling to the floor going, "Who am I? I don't know. Neither are you. I'm fucking nuts…" And if you’re a guy, you born, you have one finger up your nose, and the other one on your penis; and then you get taller. That's all.

When you approach middle aged man, you'll become a kind of soft, comfortable guy with fears. By some definition not even a man anymore, you know, in the ways that medias and films defined for us. So what will happen is that you get yourself addicted to violent movies, like Matt Damon, Jason Stathan and so on, cause you've got find a way to outsource your masculinity.
