User blog:Gigitygig/The Musings of The Penguin King

Greetings all ye who dare to look upon this here blog.

I welcome you to The Musings of The Penguin King, it is here I would like to reveal some of my thoughts about ARPW and also of life in general.

The Blog posts will be organised into chapters so bear with me please.

Chapter 1, Part 1, The Great Unwashed:

In my day to day travel I have come across a great deal of, shall we say...dickheads... I believe however that these people should not be named as such for it would seem like we are lowering ourselves to their level. Now whilst I am perfectly fine with portraying myself as one who uses said terminology in public, it makes me seem like less of a prat actually. However when in the confines of my mind I like to refer to these dickheads as The Great Unwashed.

The reasoning for my use of the label The Great Unwashed is as follows; The Great Unwashed means that they are crude, offensive and/or people who make anywhere they are at a more unagreeable place. If we lived in times gone past I would inevitably call them plebs, peasants, common folk and bumpkins. I can name several people in my life who fit withing this group, several of these people I can name as family... But whatever...

In fact if I were to be completely truthful then I would name my entire family as members of The Great Unwashed, this includes myself of course but this is merely because of breeding, not choice. For an example of the type of person who would be considered part of The Great Unwashed please look to the below paragraph.

When I was in primary school I had a friend, Archibald (cover name as I may have told Harv about this guy). Now Archibald was the kind of guy who you would only try to become friend's with for the laughs. One day I told Arcibald that I would give him $50 if he would piss on the school's oval in the middle of lunch. Thinking that he would obviously decline I only did it to tease him... I had to give him the money the day after. I had been humiliated and he had won $50 and escaped detention by merely uttering the words "Miss Elliot, I really had to go."

This is the type of person who would be considered among The Great Unwashed. A person who would willingly embarass themselves for money, a laugh or one-upmanship are those who are part of The Great Unwashed... Now think on the fact that I consider my entire family as part of this group....

Chapter 1, Part 2 Reality (The Rave in my Brain):

Reality to me is like a rave. I HATE raves (I hate two thirds of a rave, you can guess which). Too many flashing lights, deafening music and a large amount of drunk people embarassing themselves.

The lights in my life are my close family and friends, great when they are on and bright but they seem to spend all of their time alternating between bright and dark at such a speed it makes me sick.

The deafening music is the responsibility and obligation I have to my family and friends, I would never give them up for anything but sometimes it feels like I can't think properly and all that goes through my head at these times is "Fuck I wish I could just turn it down a little sometimes."

The drunk people who embarass themselves are the highlight of my life, these are the people who don't care how they look, these are the people who can always make you laugh, these are the people who always seem to be able to cope with anything and everything that faces them. I would love to be one of these people, as it stands now I can only call myself half-drunk, I have the lack of caring and I can make people laugh half the time but I just can't cope with anything major.

Conclusion:

I use my imagination to escape my reality and to make it more interesting. it is this imagination that has allowed me to fully appreciate the community here. ARPW gives me a place to express my imagination and it gives me the gift of other people changing the scenario I have in my head. If I ever get too boring, throw me out of here because I'll either be dead or the closest living equivalent. You guy are pretty fucking great (except you Harv and you know why :P).

P.S Next Musing of the Penguin King will be funny I swear.... I will pee in public if it isn't ;)
