Crazy mad people

My aunt's house gets crazier by the day. Everything about it is swathed in madness. My aunt curses like no other 60-year-old I know. Her daughter is mad bonkers with a cutting opinion on anything and everything. And her lodger, well, he just baffles me. I was thinking I'd stay until after christmas, however at this rate I am not sure.

A builder was meant to come to the house on Monday, however he never turned up. Since the no-show, all hell has broken loose. I wake up to hear my aunt f-ing and blinding, then she gets on the phone to her daughter who hangs up on her before her lodger gets in on the act by saying, "Well I would have done xyz".

All I hear is noise, all the time.

Hence why I've been trying to entertain myself by other means. I went to Celina's Resort the other day and supped a fruit punch while I drank in the sight of the thick black mud which was devoured by the muddy sea.

In need of some exercise, I then walked along the sea wall, encountering a plethora of junkies and mad people after which I got the bus home where I met another mad man. The 70-year-old insisted on getting off at the same stop as me before showering me with a bevvy of questions including: Are you married? Can I have your number? Why don't you want my number? The best,however, was "Don't you want a big man like me, or would you prefer a teenager?" Brilliant! How about neither you crazy!

It amazes me how old folks here actually approach girls who are over half their age and think with a bit of viagra they can have their wicked way.

My aunty recently told me about an old man who was getting it on with (what I hope)was a legally aged, consenting teenager. Several viagra tablets later, the dude conked out on top of her. Oh dear.

So that's about the length and breadth of the madness that's going on here. I am not really sure how long I will be able to stick it out. On the upside, I am coming on a treat with the steel pan and I now have a grand total of four songs in my repertoire! Yeah!

Drums rock!

A change

What a random rant my last blog was! Even I wasn't interested in it. And I wrote it. Oh dear! Does anyone really care what happened to the paper? Probably not. Anyway, I will draw a line under it. I am feeling pretty blue today. It's strange how you can travel a million miles to get away from your old life, but you can't travel a million miles away from yourself. Situations change, but people don't.

I am feeling a little stagnant at the moment. A feeling that was devouring me in London. However although you can change a situation or a place pretty easily. You can't change how you feel. Which, is essentially, what matters and to a large extent, the problem. People have the power to make themselves feel happy, sad, satisfied or lost.

With regards to myself, I seem to be experiencing an extreme dissatisfaction with my life. Which is strange, considering I have just had two amazing months travelling. I guess a feeling as such was bound to hit me at some point, I just wasn't expecting it to be here in the motherland. In some ways perhaps I was expecting too much from it. Some kind of life changing experience. A bolt of lightening. But when that bolt of lightening fails to materialise one can't help but feel disappointed. In some ways the saying is true. Expectation, indeed, only brings sorrow.

Til tomorrow.
