Nekakvo lepo pisanije (zbilja!!!) / Some Nice Scribe (Really!!!)

This marks the first time ever that I swore in a piece of writing. I did swear on some cartoons, I did swear on a poster which I’ll post tomorrow, but I never swore in a p..m. This one needed it, and it also needed some things that make no sense, e.g. “buying a kangaroo”. Now, why is that? It could be a representation of a couple of things: mocking the pseudo-artistic, adding some absurd to the speaking character’s excuses or making it sound good, at the expense of the whole of it making sense. It could? Yeah, that’s why it is there for all three reasons.

I thought about how nice it would be to write something that actually has a melody, I can even imagine a guitar line to it, in the style of Milan Manojlović-Mance. If you don’t know who Milan Manojlović-Mance is, he’s a Croatian singer-songwriter with two albums’ worth of nonsense songs, absurd, including two 10 minute plus tracks of pure silence. Most of his songs are free to download and some of them are in English, so check him out. If I could tune my acoustic guitar and come up with a single tone I could repeat throughout it and a short bridge after the kangaroo lines in the style of Garavi Sokak, I’d sing it, I swear.

A reoccurring character appears in this one. This time she’s angry, she’s very angry and she’s trying to explain the usual protagonist how dumb she is, because all you have to do is always be quiet, accept everyone, make sure you don’t touch your eyelashes because someone over there in Ulan Bator might be annoyed by it.

I actually adore this character to a certain extent. The real person who inspired it isn’t as grotesque all the time and does have a lot of talents and wonderful qualities, but they have this habit of turning into a teddybear with a chainsaw when they disagree. Back in the days, I used to turn the other cheek. At this point in life, I prefer to run away, because I just think it’s wrong when people try to drill themselves. Sure, you might lose some opportunities, but it just feels better when you aren’t keeping it all in. And those who believe in your abilities are probably willing to take you the way you are.

I’ll bottle the snow.
I’ll count whiskers on each cat.
I’ll examine every single bathroom mat.
You can’t choose, I’m just like that!
