No Surprises…..

March 14, 2007

In the Last Kiss, Zach Braff’s character explains that nailing Rachel Bilson was down to looking ahead in life and seeing the turning 30 mark - the job, the wife, the kids - and suddenly there’s no surprises - so he did something arguably very stupid and made a mistake - although Rachel Bilson is a rather splendid mistake to make - I mean if you are looking at weighing the pain and heartache to come against a night of sheer unadulterated Bilson banging, then you can see why many a man stronger than Mr.Braff would say it’s worth it - she mighty fine indeed.

Furthermore you’d know you were doing wrong, so you’d really make sure you savored the moments - As Ron Burgundy would say “go to pleasure town” - you’d be wheelbarrowing Bilson around your apartment, fucking burrowing to China from dusk till dawn, getting her into every uniform you can think of, one for each room of the house, Bilson ass bouncing off the walls running round the show in a whipped cream bikini and ending the night sweating more than a blind lesbian in a fishmongers.

And then you’d go home and get in trouble with the future wife and sleep on the doorstep for three nights.

But you’d always remember Rachel Bilson’s look of surprise in the mirror as you flipped her over and went down like you were trying to wear her as a hat.

The night a mistake.

But not a regret.

I’m 30 in June and also look ahead to the future and have to admit that as surprising and califragafuckinglistic as the places I’ve ended up over the last ten years have been, I do look ahead and see no surprises - I mean it’s an office life in Rotterdam with a ceiling of responsibility - doing a job that although I know very well, hasn’t sparked a flame of interest for about three years now - going through the motions. Future travels will be curtailed by the movements in the company currently taking place - in every corner of the world where we are represented, there’s now a guy stationed in each that’s likely to be there for the foreseeable.

I do appreciate what I have - but I don’t think it’s what I want.

So when Paul says come run the Gecko show at the lake - to invest a shareholding - further develop on the island opposite - the new shop - the chembe project selling Cape Mac water - and Yuni says she needs to get out of Jakarta as soon as possible and she’s run places like this already......

I look at the current jobs security of an established career, it’s 9-5, it’s pensions, it’s insurance, the schools for future kids, the stability and I compare to sunsets, hammocks, lakeside drinks, swimming in Nyasa waters, Kampango fish on the barbecue, music playing, making people happy......building a resort reputation of note.

I could be about to make a mistake indeed.

But I don’t for one moment think it will be a regret.

And it could very well turn out to be the leap of faith that keeps me waking up smiling for the rest of my days.

Much like I imagine Zach Braff’s character does when he thinks about that night with Rachel Bilson.

What also result’s to Lee’s (1996) findings is that in industrialized countries an average of almost 70 per cent of workers are employed in the service sector, most of which consists of non-tradable activities.
