Have you been squirreling away money over the winter months, ready for a summer treat? You haven’t? Nothing at all? Maybe I should have told you to do that a few months ago.
Well, if you have been saving, now is the time to have a nice holiday scarper. If you’re still skint, just take a really, really long walk in the sun. Something is bound to happen.
Everything will change over the next few months. It usually does around this time of year. That, and it says so in these entrails.
Use this as an excuse to change your life in small, unexpected ways, and grin like a moon loon in the face of ever-present adversity. Tell someone how you really feel about them, unless they are much bigger than you and are not afraid to use violence to represent their feelings.
Don’t go cleaning anyone’s pond this summer, just because you feel sorry for them or want to get into their pants. There are much easier ways to achieve the latter, such as alcohol, cash money or wit and charm.
If you possess none of these, then there’s not much I can do for you.
If you voted for the BNP this June, then there are a whole lot of people that don’t like you. I’m sure the feeling is mutual though, so have a miserable and rotten summer.
If you didn’t vote for the BNP, well done. You probably still wasted your time, but at least you tried. Feel free to carry on ranting and raving at the world in general, or alternatively, get up off your arse and do something about something.
The holiday period for you should be spent planting, seeding, growing and nurturing. Just don’t nurture people. People are not plants. People are not pigeons either. You’d do well to remember that later this year when a homeless beard-hunter pitches you an idea for a TV show that is so far out that he needs glove puppets and a turnip to properly describe it.
Twelve goats do not make a haberdashery. Don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
You’ll be happy as a pig in shit this summer as a random encounter with a bean-counter at the deli counter counters your cowardly countenance like a gang of bounders playing rounders with a boulder.
Whispering is crap! Don’t do it!
Ignore sad-faced children. Talk to dogs. Eat more spinach. Don’t frame people for murder. Go on a diet. Don’t grow a beard. Stop saluting birds. Start calling everyone ‘Jack’. Learn the banjo. Give up vegetables (except spinach).
Spend June, July and August living your life according to Werner Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. You’ll find yourself looking at the world through a whole new pair of spectra-goggles.
If that doesn’t take your fancy, try living the next few months by the Werner Herzog crazy filmmaker principle and see how far that gets you.
Geometrically speaking, the next few months will be quiet and contemplative for you, as you spend most of your time sat aloft a metaphorical hilltop watching the be-shitted masses below argue and fight over who has the shortest attention span.
Breathe deep, friends, for change is coming.
For you, the concept of ‘trends’ will implode outwardly this summer as you find yourself out of the loop for the first time in ages, and are unable to gauge what is shit and what is not, even in the simplest aspects of everyday life. It’s probably started already.
Just look around you: is that toaster shit, or what? What the fuck is on that guys head? You paid money for that?!?
Welcome to confusion central.
Bored? Listless?
Why not set up your own local talent contest and trick your town/village/favela into thinking that it actually means something?
Simply hire three egotistical, soulless dirtwads as ‘judges’, and get them to humiliate any bumpkin or inbred to can fool into performing. Then film it all on your phone, bung it on YouTube and the nation will love you forever.
Or until the next shiny bauble comes along and distracts them. Enjoy your fifteen minutes.
Avoid all microphones this summer, as you’ll only embarrass yourself, or worse have a near death experience with no profound repercussions for either yourself or the universe as a single cosmic entity bathed in its own radiant glory, refracted upon a billion bright stars, covering the dense night-time of space beyond which we only exist in the sceptred mind of an abstracted melodious infinite.
