Like most everybody else ...
Like most everybody else I don’t like to be broke, that means I like money. Reaching in my pocket and feeling paper gives me meaning. But if I was to gamble in London with two best friends, I’d bring along credit cards. I’d feel uncomfortable if I was to bank out of neighbourhood and was told then insisted that my personal cheque was of no value, but on the same hand, I’d feel short if I was to treat aesthetic realism friends to dinner only to find I had small change.
Like most everybody else I like to be entertained, that means I usually watch television. Prime time variety shuts me down. But when I festival with ‘new school’ friends, I get in deep with Bergman’s black and white. I’d feel funny backgrounding Friday nite poker with message and medium, but on the other hand, I’d feel silly if I visited minimal friends and brought along my baseball cards for trade.
Like most everybody else I like to feel healthy, that means I try to stay young. Plenty of C and aid keeps me fit. But when I body build at gym where everyone is veed and ‘chinned up’, I pump iron. (studio black background voices repeat ‘chinned up). I’d feel funny all day at the beach under an umbrella checking coop list, but on the other hand I’d feel self-conscious if I came for a morning meal at the farm, mirrored and oiled.
Like most everybody else I like to fall in love, that means I usually try to gain the friendship and respect of someone who can fulfill my needs. But when I’m horny and need a fuck or a blow job or both, I’ll meet someone, get complete control and tell them lies. It would get complicated if I had two lovers and I had to reject the one I wanted immediately for the one I wanted in the future, but on the same hand, I wouldn’t feel, if I saved my love for someone I really really liked and found out later they had given theirs away.
