21st century has only provided us artists, indeed "artists" in terms of being able to read musical scripts, rather than write them, a bit like that fable of the two "intelligent" law enforces: one can read, the other can only write; all future art will only serve a pardon of plagiarism, and a clarinet player will be as much the artist to have produced borodin's prince igor polovtsian dances, as borodin himself, hunched in silence hallucinating each and every note. i use to cycle mad across the platitudes, i used to play squash two times a week, i used to pump iron in the gym thrice a week, i used to scale the crag in edinburgh with rock climbing shoes, i used to weigh 80kg at most... and if my memory serves me right, i never got laid, now the bubblier me at 115kg i'm more content than when i served such pitiable vanities of an invisible catwalk; i used to eat fruit compulsively, and drink only once a week - conscious of the calorie intake - now i eat fruit scarcely, and drink every day, and at 115kg i'm more content than when i was so self-conscious to be involved in feminine games of chase / reward / chase / reward, that game of translating pavlov; as it turns out there's a fulfilment in a celibacy without a monastic decree, as the joke resounds: dentist sooner a suicide, chemist sooner a bachelor.
