Ways I Have Become A Man.
Watching Ricky Gervais's new stand up show 'Fame'. Had me ponder a question relative to this time of year. He tells an anecdote in regards to how he is now allowed to back trucks into a reverse parking space. The truck driver's trust his judgment now that he has become a particular age.
On paper not so amusing, but that wasn't the point. What I'm getting at, is that it had me ponder in what ways I've grown up.
What makes me a man now?
This is the best list I could come up with.
- I have grown a beard and a moustache. People have even commented on how manly I look now. But I plan on shaving it off January 18. Will my manhood be stripped of me, or will some form of osmosis have occurred?
- I have enrolled to further my education.
- I can say unashamedly that it is a CAE course, not at a University one.
- I cleaned the bathroom even though I always clean the bathroom, and I didn't complain. I just want it clean(ish)
- I got a medicare card.
- I got a debit card.
- I travelled alone.
- I sent a box of gifts back to my family for Christmas. Not just cards, and no vouchers. One particular friend of mine argued that two of the gifts were bought at a shop across the road from my residence. Although geographically convenient, this is a pucker shop. I'm not saying laziness didn't play a part, but look at the price tag you cunts.
- I can talk business (at least with publicans and chefs), and I know eighty per cent of what they're talking about.
- I go to a doctor. I don't try to tend to problems at home.
- I spell check.
As to ways I am still behaving like a child; when you're all perfect ...
