Post by Granty »

It’s frustrating, I could be dating a former Miss Universe,
It’s frustrating, I could be developing my own prestigious golf course estate designed by a world golf legend while living onsite in my luxurious apartment,
It’s frustrating, I could be touring the world publicising my latest, best selling novel that has literary merit to boot,
It’s frustrating, I could be captaining the Australian cricket team,
It’s frustrating, I could be fishing with Lachlin Murdoch off the back of my yacht in deep water off Tahiti and fighting massive game fish all the way to the side of the vessel,
It’s frustrating, that instead I’m sitting alone on the couch in a one bedroom bedsit that I’m renting, scribbling notes between the interesting bits of Australia’s impending Ashes whitewash, wondering if Stevo will ring me about that fishing trip down to Tooradin we’ve been planning.

Beautiful Granty, Miss Universe should be so lucky! I think with you and Adam on the case we will have cured mental illness by 8pm, or at least allowed some moments refreshment and good feelings; which I've now recieved two fold from you both.

It is frustrating, I'll be damned. Thank you! :D

What is frustrating Granty, is that you don't appreciate or recognise how important your little unknown world is.
Or do you?
And is that why you wrote this interesting piece?

There definitely seems a degree of self acceptance and humility with the ending Mat, coupled with this idea that there are always other options out there and for most of the population they are unattainable, perhaps this is more marxist than we suspect? :wink:

Although isn't that illegal? :o

Jimmy, I too got a lot out of Adam's recent post. The feedback from forum members was great as was Adam's response.

Thanks Mat and Jimmy for you comments. It's probably pointed at the things were supposed to be aiming for going by fashion, media etc.

But as they say the grass is always greener unless:

Your former Miss Universe has rung from hospital where her latest Botox has gone wrong. She wants you to take her to Paris immediately to go shopping for a friendship ring.
A nuclear power station has been approved to be built next door to your golf course estate. Sales enquires have completely stalled. Building of the power station will commence at the end of the month unless a council petition to have the decision overturned is submitted.
You are being sued by someone who recognized themselves in your best selling novel. Publishers have withdrawn it from bookshops awaiting the outcome.
There has been a player revolt in the Australian Cricket Team with players claiming the Captain has too many distractions. You can prove your worth between now and the match starting at the end of the week.
Lachlin has called, he’s booked you on a concord to New York this evening. He wants you do to a presentation to his Dad. If successful you will join the board as a director with a sign-on payment of a bigger, faster yacht.
Your best mate Stevo has rung and is pissed off. He reckons he feels undervalued. He’s packed a tent, an esky full of beer and fishing gear. In ten minutes he’ll be at your place saying that a real mate would join him at Tooradin.
:shock: :shock:
