Yet again it is late in the land of tea and crumpets, but I am still up n about. Tonights blog is a mix of a ramble and a bed time story, so here goes.
Today was my birthday(march 30th when i started writing), yay for me, though barely any of my friends remembered or noticed, sucks huh, oh well at least some did. I had my hair done, watched me some Doctor Who, so glad the new series started today it was awesome, and have been, and still am as I sit here writing this, drinking cheap shitty beer.
but you know that thing on your birthday when you are on your own and you start to think over the past year and what you achieved, well I went through that, and the answer at first was pretty much naff all. One of my friends on twitter reminded me I had actually made people smile a lot, another one reminded me of all the animals I adopted with WWF (not the wrestling, the one with the panda logo) and Wild Futures, which ok, yeah I have done a fair bit for charity but that's nothing all that new or really impressive but nice of them to think it so.
However there is one thing I still haven't achieved ...a love life... I have got ex's yus, but for the past two years me love life has been none existent, when I was in my twenties, my big plan was to be Married and have kids by the time I was 30, look how well that went...I'm thirty bloody seven today.
Let me tell you how pathetic my love life is; I was thinking of marrying my blow up doll, but then I looked again and realised, she reminded me of some of the shallow bitches of my past and even my own mother and several prospective mother in laws, She couldn't keep her mouth shut and she has a head full of air.
What's even more pathetic about the marrying of my blow doll is this...I don't have a blow up doll, even she is an imaginary girlfriend. :-P
And I was thinking earlier, if I am not married by this time net year, I am either going to turn gay or get a sex change, call myself Sister Mary cantfindagal and marry the big JC whom, by the way, I don't even damn well believe in.
Ok so after that vent and whinge and whine and moan to myself about my lacking love life I shrugged my shoulders took a swig of beer and thought "Fuck It." How ever When I get into SG chat, what do I discover??? It would seem I am not the only one who has been lamenting over his love life today.
I have gotta be honest with you, even I who has been having a whine about lack of love, actually I do genuinely believe there is someone out there for everyone, it's true i do, I just like to moan that I aint got some one from time to time and have a temper tantrum over it, but I do believe there is that someone, I believe in Yue Xia Lao, the Japanese God of matchmaking and marriage, (no I am not Japanese just love parts of the culture.) and his red thread of destiny and that someone is attached to yours so tonights bed time story is about that it's one of the Yue Xia Lao legends, and here it is.
There was a young boy running home through the town in which he lived on night, he had been out and was now very late home, as he ran though, he came across an old man standing beneath the moonlight, by the side of him was a sack of red thread and in his hand he held a book with a list of names, naturally curious the young boy stopped to ask about the red thread.
'Ah' said the old man, 'that is the red thread of destiny and it is tied to your ring finger and the ring finger of the one you will marry, it is usually invisible to the human eye and it can stretch and twist and tangle but the read thread will never break. ' the young boy saw his name was in the old mans book and asked why it was there, and the old man replied, 'well I have already found you your future wife,' and he pointed to a young girl just coming out of a house, 'That said the old man is the young lady you will one day marry, let me show you.' and with a wave of his hand the young boy suddenly saw his own red thread and that it was indeed attached to the finger of the girl. The old man waved his hand again and the thread vanished from sight.
The young boy, a little bit scared and naturally not interested in love or romance, Picked up a rock, threw it at the girl and ran away home.
Many years later when that young boy had become a young man, his pat rents arranged a marriage for him and on the wedding night the bride sat on the bed, still wearing the traditional veil and awaiting her new husband, he cam to her presently and gently removed the veil so he may see the woman who was now his wife, and as he admired the beauty of the princess of the town, the most beautiful girl the town had to offer, he noticed an adornment over her eye brow and asked.
'Why do you wear that adornment?'
'It Hides a scar I got as a little girl, people stare so and make me feel self conscious so I hide the scar.' she replied.
'Let me see.' and he removed the adornment. he gasped 'How did you get such a scar?' he asked.
'When I was a little girl, one night a boy threw a rock at me and ran away.'
The young man realised at once he had been the one to give her that scar and the man underneath the moonlight that night had been none other than Yue Xia Lao.
So there you go, thats the story, a little bit of artistic license granted, but I hope you liked it. I am sure there really is someone attached to the other end of everyones red thread of destiny, but we can't see because as Yue Lao says, it's invisible, and I know that most people are of a "seeing is believing" nature, but try believing before you see for a change and maybe then that dream girl or guy will bump into you in the street, someday, just don't throw any rocks ok.
Blessed be :-)
