Metamorphose

METAMORPHOSE

I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth and indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame the earth seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy the air, look you, this mighty o'rehanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire; why, it appeareth nothing to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, how like an angel in apprehension, how like a God! The beauty of the world, paragon of animals; and yet to me, what is this quintessence of dusk. Man delights not me, no, nor women neither, nor women neither.

Case 1 - Loneliness
Describe an incident that describes/portrays a sense of loneliness in London.

Aren't we all? You can take a number of instances that could possibly happen in your week, if not your day and think that you are forlorn. How to pinpoint those instances aren't really justified, however you know when it happens you have that realisation of where you are, who you are with and then what the hell am I doing here. I think the first case in point would have to be I am in London. No matter how many friends you have here as an Australian, and no matter how many times you go out over the weekend, as a single white male heading towards his big three zero, it becomes evident when you get home after these short often bizarre interludes of weekends that you are alone still. You may wish to think that the solution to my problem is to get a girlfriend, a companion, a partner or a soul-mate, but there is a simple flaw to your design. Because one if you are coming up with this simple enlightment to my troubles is;

1) you yourself are happy within your own little relationship
2) you have never visited London to realise the ways of the single adult community
3) you are not me.

So that relationship theory aside, let me explain the nit and grit of loneliness to you. It's written about, talked about, and most importantly whinged about. But in the words of Radiohead "What the hell am I doing here?" then maybe I can first imagine why I might feel lonely. Having drinks with friends and never knowing too much about them I find the loneliest, but "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do" so I'll stick to the reasoning that you are lonely no matter wherever you are and it is only you, number one, that can make that unique difference, fulfilment and happiness to life.

But back to the point of the subject, describe an incident that portrays a sense of loneliness in London.

I woke up this morning and she still wasn't there.

ed- Still yet to see Gina's, maybe she will get motivated now that I sent it on to her. This case is written in my view to explain possibilities of why people act and feel alone, it is also a basic contradiction in terms that I am hoping to see if Gina picks up on with a little tongue in cheek, I would not say I feel lonely however there are times when you feel the weight of the Earth upon your shoulders and the dark recess of a corner in a room is found to have some comfort. Until next lesson - if that goes ahead....
