Impulsive Decisions and The Talented Mr Ripley

Hey everyone, havent written anything for a while but what happened today was so unexpected  that it prompted me to pick up the key board and get everything down for future reference..oh and my fans whoever you are.

This morning I logged on to Facebook simply to check my updates and a friend of mine Kieran..(well my best freind…but we have our off periods) So he types

“you know how that holiday of yours has fallen through”

“yeah, I cant believe them!” (btw, the road trip is cancelled for the summer)

“well meet me at Manchester airport tomorrow at 1pm and well get on a plane and just go”

—-at this point I paused, for those of you who don’t know me, which is all of you, me and Kieran have always been very close, helped each other out and given support when it was needed…but we have a very tempestuous relationship, were both very stubborn and wind each other up…but when we have the good days, its amazing to spend time together.

At school people always regarded our relationship with a certain degree of suspicion…for two lads we were (are) very close….they would always say “whats going on with you and Kieran?” well nothing…mores the pity..you see, i did and do like him.

It was all the little things like when we went on trips with school and sat on the coach next to each other..he would doze off on my shoulder and I wouldnt mind..or give me random hugs…or our legs would touch beneath the table at dinner and we didn’t immediately shout “err gerrof me”…it was nice

Anyway, im not going away with him…no yet anyway…would like to though, but I cant spare the time…so much work to do…and uni to prep for..sigh

“just you and me, we’ll disappear together”..thats what he said.

Back to the other part of my title, i watched The Talented Mr Ripley last night for the first time…i wondered, what can Mr Ripley be so good at…is it playing the saxophone, painting, languages, cooking….no, non of the above.

Mr Ripely it turns out  is very good at battering Jude Law with a paddle, playing the piano and impersonations….not the average hobbies but each to his own.
