Recently I’ve had a bit of an eye opener, working part time all summer has made me realise that I really need to succeed in my Uni course and then keep on succeeding in my chosen career path until I’m old an grey. This thought comes as my lack of enthusiasm and short attention span for anything I don’t enjoy becomes painstakingly apparent. Thinking about it further I can even struggle concentrating on conversations – having to listen to someone talk about their life can be tough, especially when I could be thinking about what I’d do If I was a chubby couple from Largs who had won the Euromillions.
I would happily forgo a well paid job in the future as long I enjoyed what I was doing, to find something well paid and enjoyable would be the dream but we all can’t be like Les Dennis...
On a casual jaunt through Thursdays 4 o clock television I ended up on CBBC where I came across a programme hosted by Les Dennis called Fe Fi Fo Yum. I turned over at the exact point where Les was excitably asking two groups of children to guess how many Meatballs he could force into his mouth in 30 seconds (it was7). Some people work hours on end for a little wage and little self reward but not this man. This man has clearly reached the dizzy heights’ of dream jobs. A handsome wage to do something a handicaped person does every day and it's a job he presumably loves(im only guessing he loves it by the LARGE AMOUNT OF FUN AND CRAAAZY ENTHUSIAM HE PUT IN THE SHOW). Though I have to question what anyone’s doing employing Les Dennis to host and star in a Childrens TV (he's not really an aspirational figure for a 10 year old). I guess I can’t be too critical of childrens television - if I was to be I could easily write 500 words questioning the logistics of Clifford the Big Red Dog i.e. who's job is it to clean up after Clifford goes for a shit?
Heres a short list of people who shouldn’t have Jobs in Television
Jeremy Kyle
Vanessa Feltz
Carol Mcgiffen
Any dog that’s appeared in Eastenders
The Cast of Eastenders
But to sum up a somewhat incredibly short and strange post... I don’t want to think about not ending up in broadcasting because that thought terrifies me. Without the pencilled in life I have for myself in 10 years time the future is not bright nor is it orange it’s a massive cold hollow void.
We’ll all can’t be as lucky as Les Dennis....
..Or maybe we can. Maybe If I fail my course, I could get a buskers licence. Buy a pack of meatballs. Stuff the meatballs in my mouth whilst on the high street asking children to guess how many are in my mouth then I would scream “HAVE I SUCEEDED NOW!? HAVE I SUCEEDED NOW!?”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Thanks.
