Over the last month or so I've received a lot of messages about Grouchy and his girlfriend Roxy. It seems the hive community wonders where they've been. Don't worry folks, I'm pleased to say that Grouchy is fine, as is Roxy; They're just on holiday.
A few weeks ago Grouchy declared that he wanted a holiday and built a Lego four wheel drive and caravan for just that purpose. You can see the post right here in the Lego Community. He stayed around the week of my dad's funeral to support me but soon after was off on his road-trip with Roxy.
He's been in contact, but not much, however today my phone rang and it was him. Here's the transcript.
Ay cobber, it's Grouchy! How're they hanging mate?
Standing on a great fucking castle made of sand bro. On some beach somewhere below Port Lincoln. I'm heading home soon though. You miss me?
Yeah bro, fucking seafood is off the chain around here! Smashed a plate of prawns and a dozen oysters kilpatrick last night. Saaweeet bru! Anyway, I'm not worried about sharks mate, I don't go in the water...Not keen to be a shark biscuit, besides, I'd unravel if I got wet man.
Yeah bro, it's tits bro, tits I tell you! It's round, tall and...Round and sandy. Forget about it man, it's the best I tell ya! You don't even know! I'll send you a picture of it...Put in on your post or some shit like that. Hive will love it! Call the post, "Grouchy builds totally tits sandcastle."
Yeah for sure. Anyways bro, I'll be home in the next couple days. You been ok? How's Faith? You didn't get corona virus or anything right?
Who?
Oh yeah her. She's...Ok.
Nah man. Well, sorta. She's nice and all...Really hot in bed...She does this thing with her tongue...Well, never mind that. She's a fire-cracker in bed though, sexy, can cook...She's good...Except...Well, she's not so bright man. Thick as two short planks to be honest.
Yeah, you may be right, but dude, she's as dumb as a screen door on a submarine. You know, ten cents short of a dollar. Dumb!
Smart enough to steel your VISA card and buy shit with it bro! And no, not too judgemental...She does the dumbest shit brah.
Yeah, you're probably right. I mean I can put up with it mostly, the sex is good...Did I tell you about that thing she does with her tongue? Ah, never mind. She is ok most of the time so why wouldn't I feel good about it all...It's just that, well, I feel I need more intellectual stimulation.
You're smart G-dog; I knew I could count on you for good advice. We'll see how it goes. Hey, I'll see you in the next few days and look out for a few photos ok? The phone coverage is shit here, that's why I had to climb on this fucking castle to try and get some! I'll send them though.
We hung up the phone soon after and a few of the pictures he mentioned came through moments later. It looked like they were having a good time, but considering the phone conversation...Outward appearances can be deceiving I guess.
It seems Grouchy and Roxy aren't doing so great; There's trouble in paradise. I guess that's what comes from selecting a relationship based only on physical attributes. Sure, physical attraction starts the process usually, although there needs to be more than just physical attraction to make a relationship work out.
A lot of give and take goes into a solid relationship and one must be flexible and understanding of the other's needs. It's a two way street I guess and rushing headlong into something like Grouchy did with Roxy, based on physical appearance only, isn't always going to work out as desired.
Love is strange. Sometimes it comes quickly like a wave crashing to shore; This is how it was for Faith and I thirty three years ago. Sometimes it builds slowly, more like a slow-moving tide ebbing and flowing over time. Slow or fast though, a relationship, and love, must be built upon more than just one element. Physical attraction is one thing but not everything.
I'm no expert on the matter though. I just know what works for Faith and I. Will the same work for Grouchy? I think not. Will it work for anyone other than us? How could I know; It's all dependent upon the people within the relationship, and how willing they are to work at it.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to having my little mate back. It sounds like we'll be having some very in-depth conversations and that there maybe some change on the wind, but time will tell. We'll build some Lego, hang out and let the future unfold in whatever way it will.
Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default - Tomorrow isn't promised.
Be well
