{LOTR Alphabet}

R is for the Races of Middle Earth

Maia and Balrogs are the same thing. Istari would have been more apt for the wizards.

I'm too damn

fussy. I really am. My paradigm of the perfect woman doesn’t exist. I know this, and yet I keep fruitlessly searching for her. This is why I’m perpetually single. It’s pathetic.

This paradigm has more-or-less been the same since I was 15, with a few extra additions over the years, as I started to discover more about myself. The criteria is as follows (this might come across as shallow):

- short, brunette hair (like, really short. Think Natalie Imbruglia circa Torn)

- blue eyes

- between 5ft 6’ and 5 ft 9’

- dry sense of humour

- sexually confident

- slighty stubborn. Could argue her way out of a room with no doors.

- shares similar views and personal philosophies, but also contests certain views I have, and educates me accordingly

- appreciates the genius of David Lynch

- tattooed (but not essential)

- edgy

- spontaneous

- a creative side, albeit art, song-writing etc

- honest with herself

- critical

- broad-minded

- maternal

- dog lover

- liberal

- zero pretence. Doesn’t need to Instagram a screen-cap of Star Wars in order to boost her “nerd” credentials.

- can see right through me

- well read

- someone I could talk about A Song of Ice and Fire all night with

- rational

- motivated

- knows how to enjoy herself without relying on alcohol

- drops subtle pop-culture references, ones she’d know I’d get

- someone I’d feel comfortable introducing to my parents (my folks haven’t met any of my ex’s)

- chronic tea drinker

- has a penchant for carrot cake

- keeps me in check, grounds me etc

- The middle-child of a big family, has had to fight her way to obtain an individual identity

That’s pretty much putting it lightly. Sometimes I feel like Jerry Seinfeld. I’d meet an attractive girl, in both looks and personality, and within months I’d call it quits. I seem to focus in on the minor things, and for some reason, I always find something about them that bothers me. It’s a damn irritating habit of mine, however, I’m no way near as bad as I used to be.

Over and out.

Hey are you selling the minimalist totoro poster by any chance? It's probably the best one on the internet haha - Ben

It’s high time I pulled my thumb out, and started drawing on a daily basis. I’m at my best when I’ve got s pencil at hand.

Sentiment's a bitch, ain't it?

You know those occasions when you don’t think about someone for a long time, then they pop up in your dream, and all those emotions come flooding back? Yeah, I experienced that this morning.

I had a dream last night in which “the one” popped up. Well, I say “the one”, she was the only girl thus far in my short 25 years that I ever came close to being in love with. We met at University. Crazy thing is, her taste in clothes, film and music was so far removed from what I looked for in the opposite sex, but for some inexplicable reason, she ticked every box.

I do miss her. We met up a few months ago on a night out. Both of us a tad too tipsy, but it was sweet all the same. She told me she felt so glad to see me. That meant a lot to me.

I’ve been thinking about her most of the afternoon. I’m sure we’ll meet up again in the not too distant future, but in the meantime, I just hope she’s happy.

Foraging through my wardrobe, I found this belt buckle I purchased on eBay about 5 years ago. It’s a replica of Jack Sparrow’s baldric buckle from Dead Man’s Chest. Might need a bigger belt for it. Apologies for intimate crotch shot :)

There’s a lot I need to come to terms with in order to ditch the bitter individual I’ve been over the past three years. I’ve come to realise the following:

- People can, and often will, fuck you over. Albeit family or friend, there’s nothing you can do to prevent this. You can be the most magnanimous, caring and selfless person on the planet, doesn’t change the fact that some people, for all intents and purposes, are cunts. The only thread of intervention you have over this sporadic occurrence is how you handle yourself afterwards. You wanna become a miserable fuckwit and brood about it? Fine, but it ain’t gonna make a lick of difference. Don’t feel as if the World owes you a spit of respect just because you’ve been fucked about. You’re not the only one. People will have more respect for you if you come to terms with it, and move on down the road. Look forward, not back. Never allow your past to dictate your future.

- Don’t expect an easy ride. Success comes with hard work. Stop lying around, waiting for an opportunity to present itself. Sometimes people are lucky, and presented with excellent life opportunities. Fuck them. If you put in the hard work, you’re more likely to stand out and outlast those that were given success on a plate. It’s a long-ass road, but the hard work is the reward. Of course it’s daunting, but persevere. It will be worth the trouble.

- You cannot avoid drama. End of. No matter how trivial, innocuous or petty a situation is, it’s more than often inevitable. So long as there are self-centred, immature fucktards, there will always be drama. Best thing to do? Avoid said self-centred, immature fucktards.

- You are not responsible for somebody else’s emotional response towards you. If they have a problem with you, it’s their issue, not yours. Fuck them, and spend more time with people that matter. They do exist, believe me.

- Be more forgiving. Everyone makes mistakes.

- No matter what you do in life, you will receive criticism. The World is too big to please. Remember the compliments, forget the put-downs. They’re not relevant.

- Spend less time on Facebook. It’s cripplingly counter-productive. It’s the biggest cause of arguments and cracks in friendship groups than anything else in the World.

- NEVER resign yourself to your fate. No matter how old you are, there is always time to change your path. Get the fuck out of that job you hate and doesn’t stimulate you mentally, or inspire you creatively. We all have the potential to do something wonderful. “Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative” - Oscar Wilde.

- No-one is right about everything. Most experiences boil down to perspective. We all see things differently.

- Don’t put things off. If it can be done today, fuckin’ do it.

- Don’t ever feel inferior to anyone. Remember, we are all made up from blood and tissue. We’re all the same. The only indifference? Some people are bigger pricks than others. That’s it.

- DON’T look for a relationship. Prolonged searching will turn you into a needy twat. The most meaningful relationships are born from serendipitous happenstance. If it’s meant to happen, it will. Don’t force it.

- To paraphrase Twin Peaks’ Special Agent Dale Cooper, give yourself a little present every day. Don’t look for it, or think about it. Just allow yourself to have one small gift, whatever it may be.

- Walk more often. It’s fuckin’ therapeutic.

- Whenever you’re feeling depressed as the result of a break-up or argument etc, ask yourself this question: “Will this matter in a year’s time?”

- Be yourself. Don’t feel as if you have to compromise who you are, or make changes in order to feel socially accepted. Total bullshit. The people that matter will accept you for who you are.

- Finally, if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will.

It’s a work in progress, as you can see. These are things I’ve realised I’ve had to apply in my everyday life in order to evolve emotionally. It’s time I made some positive changes. For once.

It is a measure of a man that admits when he is wrong, and it took me 12 months to swallow my pride. I lost a very good and dear friend as the result of my fuck-ups, and I wish I could have him back.

I’ve been doing this since I was a child. I grew up next to a large cemetery, of which my Grandfather was buried. It’s not morbid, or creepy. I genuinely seek solace from cemeteries. As my old Nan used to say “cemeteries are the safest places in the World. No one can hurt you, ‘cause they’re all dead”.

She was wise, in her ways.
