"Ding Ding"

For those who read my wee dilemma I posted the other week on this here blog, you will know that I was preparing for an almighty battle with my conscious. This battle was to be played out in the guise of a boxing ring with 3 central characters. "HARPMAN" the voice of imagination, newness, energy, soulfulness, meaning, a devil may care and can do attitude to everything. Against "VICTORIAN PREACHER" the voice of sameness, dull, boring, sloth like, cautious, numb, has a predictable outlook and no can do attitude to everything. Lastly there is me "THE REFEREE" in the middle, the advocate, judge, decision maker and needs the others to show what they got until a clear winner is apparent  to him! If this point is reached a heavenly ray of light shall appear accompanied by piccolo playing sprites and cleanse me into what is decided on!

Round one was swift and as one sided a round as has ever graced the canvass of deciding a path! Harpman bounded out of his corner pent up with a zeal and enthusiasm that instantly immobilised Victorian Preacher who was still pondering on what his tactics would be! (rabbit in the headlights with no shades available!)
First clear points on the board were from a belter Harpman hit out with  and the crowd appreciated the art of the delivery!

Harpman states "OK man, so you want to change something and you want to feel fresh and invigorated in more aspects of what you do now, thus stopping you killing poor unfortunates waiting on a train?" Well first think about what you actually want to do! What is it to be, the same as now or Embalming, Tight Rope Walking, Bee Keeping, Hedge Trimmer, Lamp post Painter, Deep Sea Diver, Trampolinist, Tsar, Pyramid Photographer, Bird Watcher, Shelf Stacker, Goat Herder, Shampoo Inventor, Crazy Golf Champ, A Nana Mouskouri Impersonator, Rust Repairer, Chinese Flower Arranger, Writer, Aardvark Advocacy, Hut Builder, Tree Climber, Flea Circus Owner, Lighthouse Keeper, Soothsayer, God, the world is your Oyster, Clam and Lobster if you wanny!! Ooofftt!

I, as the Referee was bombarded by opportunities, opportunities that may seem odd but at some point have passed through my head and been discarded as fantasy!! However I think Harpmans subtle hint was pointing to the fact that all is opportunity, all is possible, all is open for further investigation if that's what you want to do then why not!!

Harpman had taken up so much time in delivering his first point that the seconds had flew by and there was only just enough time left on the clock for a finishing salvo from Harpman that reinforced his dominance of the rounds points.Victorian Preacher was still reeling from the first volley and was winded sorely, holding onto the rope trying to catch his breath back , a meek "Boo" was as much as he could muster at this point.

Harpman completed the round with " Right ya daftie, think and think hard. I'm a voice in an imagined ring of debate and path finding, you are the one who knows what you want to do and got to do. No point pretending that you don't because you do! It's like being ever so polite when someone asks if you would like the last chocolate from a box, you say "oh no it's all right you have it, I don't like they scrumptious raspberry creams anyway so no, you have it I don't want it, honestly!" " Aye right, you know you want it, you love raspberry creams, in fact you would gladly wallow in a vat of raspberry creaminess for a living if you could!" "so stop fucking around and just decide that that's what you want! Someones going to eat the fucking chocolate so may as well be you!"

The crowd are on their feet as the bell rings, the "ding ding" signalling the end of the round. Chanting fills the arena " There's only one Harpman, there's only one Harpman, one Harpmaaaaaan there's only one Haaarpman" Harpman bounds back to his corner invigorated by his utterances and refusing a seat or a sponge he is dancing on his toes akin to the great Ali in his prime. Victorian Preacher is aghast and finding if difficult to focus, his team are busying themselves with nayness vibes whilst wiping the angst from his face with a Brillo pad!! Readying themselves for round 2.

Clear winner of round one is Harpman! result is to feel what it is that I want to do and do it, or eat it or something like that.
