The Ministry Of Cynical Supposition
Insightful razor edged commentary or the inane ramblings of a slightly overweight middle-aged security guard frustrated at being a slightly overweight middle-aged security guard...
Blegh!
I don’t know if I’m in a rut or just struggling with this not smoking concept. I did tend to smoke three times more than normal when writing so you could understand my hesitance in sitting down to compose a script or article but if the truth be known I just don’t feel inspired to do anything. Even my latest animation is sitting half complete as I don’t feel the urge to even look at it. Blegh!
There is another theory being that I’m depressed because apparently I’m going to die this year. It’s actually quite an interesting situation as even though I don’t believe I am going to die this year it is still there in the back of my mind. You see when I was 14 years old a few of us got into those séance things with the upside down glass and numbers and letters on the kitchen table. Anyway during one sitting I decided to ask when would I die and it, without hesitation, pointed out 51. To a 14 year old that seems a hundred years away but now after just turning 51 it is a tad concerning. The good thing is that I’ve sort of been looking at as a win win situation as if I don’t die within the next twelve months then great but if I do die then this could indicate that there is some sort of plan or greater purpose to life. Put it this way, if it is known and has always been known that I would die at 51 then presumably it’s been mapped out, there is something hugely more to being than just the random overall pointless existence which I currently believe we are a part of. So if I do kick off in the next few months you may feel comfort in the stronger possibility that I’m actually kicking on in some other plane of existence. I hope it’s a dimension where smoking is good for you...

| Hey, I'm going to talk about the not smoking thing. I smoked for over 20 years & loved it. Unfortunately due to the unbelievable nagging of my wife and the cost of the bloody things, I've given up & haven't had a smoke since last year in October. Mind you, I'd still love to have one & still think about it more often than I should. I still love the smell of it even. I hope it gets easier as time goes on because not being able to have one drives me insane sometimes. I know one thing for sure though, if I had one I'd be back into it again. (Note to self from previous attempts to stop) I don't think there's any easy way but I can certainly relate to the misery aspect. When you find the place where smoking is OK for you, let me know. Hang in there. | |

| I forgot to mention that if I do die at 51 then people should have a very serious look at a bloke called Robert Harris who was revealed as the killer of Marilyn Monroe that same night! | |

| Rather an interesting piece you have contrived, considering you are one of Australia's top sceptics.
I think being a skeptic is not about not being open to possibilities but not accepting these possibilities on face value...
