Cheers!

As a patch for my F.R.I.E.N.D.S addiction, i have hooked on to another series, Cheers. Nothing can ever come close to the one, of course, but this one does promise to keep me occupied for a while. Which is a big deal really, if you look at the volume of stuff that didn't make it. Sienfeld, How I met your mother, Two guys, a girl and a pizza place, Fraiser, Dharma and Greg, Everybody loves Raymond, Different Strokes, I dream Of Jeannie, Bewitched, Happy Days, Mork and Mindy, Silver Spoon, Nanny and the Professor (at least thats what i think it was called!), Whos the boss, The Drew Carrey Show, South Park (this was when i was feeling really really adventurous and also, desperate), Futurama (good, but not good enough) and more i cant remember the names of.

One of the things i love about Cheers, apart from the fact that it has Fraiser, who now feels like a long lost family member because i caught a few episodes of the show several years ago, is the title song.

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

Very cheerful, no?

However, right now i want exactly the opposite. To be in a place where no one knows me. I want a pastless, futureless existence where I wake up each morning with a clean slate and spend the whole day being whoever i want to be. I want to be able to be unforgivably rude today and wake up tomorrow as the friendliest soul you ever met. I want to be able to see the the world in black and white today, knowing that tomorrow i can turn it into grey. And maybe after i have been everyone and noone, i will be more at peace with being the someone i am, in a place where everybody knows my name. Maybe.

Or maybe, i will stop writing crap.
