Some Kind of Monster

Thinking about oneself. A very unhealthy habit. An attempt to end these undesirable thought patterns calls for a kind of exorcism of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in...

Comments about me:

Poland

Some guy in a bar who´d had 5 beers:
"When you have children and see yourself reflected in their eyes... then you´ll care about the future of humanity."

Uncle Miroslaw:
"What are you travelling for? People travel for business, or for academic purposes. You, you´re just wasting your money."

Uncle Andrzej:
"He spent the past year working his butt off in Japan, and now has a sufficiently individual personality to go and blow it in the following 12 months."

Gramps:
"Have you ever considered working for the police? No one would suspect you of being an undercover agent."
"I´m concerned about your appearance. You dress like a 16 year old. Someone at your age ought to have a little dignity."
"You look like you´re dying of unrequited love."

Gramps´ neighbour (within 5 minutes of having met me on the street):
"Your mother must be really beautiful."

Greece

Gregory:
"Let the crazy man be crazy."

Abi:
"You´re just living on another planet"
"It´s about time you realised you´re a little off track."

Nick:
"You´re like that kid in high school - we used to kick his arse on the playground."
"I wanna be on the planet you´re on."
"Why the fuck did you come and study teaching English when you should be writing the story you have inside you."

Comments about my (vegetarian) cooking:

Gramps: "It needs something." (reaching for a bottle of 30% cream).
Gregory: "It looks very good. Looks like meat."
Joel: "C´mon! It´s a potato - how bad can it smell!?"
