Interesting Lives, anyone?

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Slightly needled by a bish thowaway line (I pm'd, he ignored it ) it set me wondering. Do you reckon, when looking back, that your life's been 'interesting'? Or has it been dull as ditchwater?
Personally speaking, I've made the most of mine I can, coz there's only one of the fxckers and there's no point wasting it.

For example: Potted biog:
Born in Cheshire to a Derbyshire family that has lived on the tops of the Peak since time immemorial, I was inducted into being a Wanderer by my grandfather whose grandfather's son used to play for Bolton.
Brought up in Derbyshire then horribly transferred to Yorkshire at my parent's whim: Having to abandon well loved pets to god knows what fate...(father being an ex-naval bully, prize fighter, overbearing tosspot, with major OCD rituals)
I ran away at 17 to Riccarton and then lived on Morningside before taking a joint honours degree in Biochemistry & Microbiology in Liverpool.
After that in the era of Thatcher, got dragged down into homelessness and a fxckin good time.
Became a punk. Was in some bands. Rioted during the big riot.
Got rescued by a woman who transported me south to the shithole of London from whence she left to teach EFL in Japan...
(and that is just 1/3) of life so far. Interesting/ Boring as shit?

You see, just reading that back, I've missed out a Major claim. My parents weren't exactly liberal, and (looking back on it, probably because my father was a batard, whose father was a bastard, whose father in turn was a bastard) I was never allowed any social freedom as a teenager. So when my mother's sister ( who was one of the first graduates from a working class background to be a university student - she later designed engines for aircraft in Seattle) colluded in a surreptitious enterprise it ended with.me seeing, experiecing, and forever altering my life, by being one of the audience when Jimi Hendrix played at the IoW. Interesting, fxcking right it was.

Certainly wouldn't change the era - it's been just brilliant - or my life in general, but I'd do some things a whole lot differently if I could go back. On reflection, made a lot of errors, done a lot of things blatantly wrongly and been more than a little selfish in the strict meaning of the word. Spend some time on reflection now and I think I'm a better man for the facing up and admitting of it. I don't believe in stating the good that we do, the satisfaction comes for that from just keeping it to yourself. Boring life? never. Interesting one, massively so. Done a lot, seen a lot and I'm still dancing.

I like to think I'm just getting to the interesting bit.

[bobo the clown]

Nope. Done f'call.

So far, that's between a Parisian balcony and a West London O'Neill's.

I'm only halfway through. Hopefully.

Yes. Only you have/ has had an interesting life.

Can I just establish something here .... do we ACTUALLY have to have lived these lives, or can we just make them up ?

Coz that's going to make a fair chunk of difference.
