it ain't easy being me
"it ain't easy being me"
the line leapt out of the jerry springer the opera T shirt. it was the only decorative element on the plain colored shirts at the shop. a couple of them lined a display at the theater on West End. as my eyes scanned the row from left to right, an echo of "it ain't easy being me" bellowed in my ears. with robotic intonations pulling back and forth in a mirror house of sounds.
i was tickled. cos i loved the self indulgence emanating from the line. it made me feel human. and included. the line on the shirt was attributed to God.
I liked the shirt and the line. but it was way too costly... which costs i think about 30 sterling pounds a pop. the same price of three plates of my favourite roasted duck rice. i placed the shirt back.
the opera aka musical won several awards and high praises from friends but lost me. it had so many powerful themes that stood well on their own... but put together they drowned and lost their intensity and power. anyways this isn't a play review. it's a line review. it's about my sudden recollection of the instant i fell in love with the "it ain't easy being me" line.
it was nolstagia of that one evening in london almost a year ago that came crashing down on me when i flipped through the pages of a paper just minutes ago.
a couple of quotable quotes from the paper...
"I don't smoke drink or take drugs anymore. but knowing my luck, a bird will crap on me and i'll get bird flu on the way home."
-- Singer Ozzy Osbourne on his fears
"I'd rather be No.1 on the worst dressed list than be No. 2 on the best."
-- Actress Nicollette Sheridan
meanwhile Garfield is contemplating in a cartoon box.
"Question: Is everything better with melted cheese on it?" the lazy bastard ponders.
a friend calls and says we have a situation. he can't help me with tv shopping tomorrow cos he's been called for military reservist. so we'll have to go get it later.
and i'm now contemplating if i should by a 21 inch or 29 inch tv.
he suggests 29.
i'm thinking 21.
do 8 inches make a diff? haha.
all right. i'll think about this for the next five mins.
