Disney is like the McDonalds of cartoons isnt it? What does walt disney do besides take stories tht are already there..embedded within cultures, & serve them to the masses with the right packaging,the perfect happy ending & with a dollap of disney music? I spent the last 3 days in Disneyland & amidst the parades & the music & all the happy smily people..i felt something very sinister was afoot.It's all a little creepy isnt it..those huge smiles,the subservient heriones stood next to their princes,their lives now complete,the huge emphisis on beauty,on wealth,on good preservering over evil...all in hourly doses?unnatural id say. Ok,ok...its meant to be fantasy..i get tht..bt theres still sumthin not quite right..arnt our fantasties jus manfistations of wht we wish we had bt know we are never gona get?a fantasy isnt lik an ambition..an ambition is something worth working for & can eventually be obtained..a fantasty..is jus pure lust.So do all men..deep down...deep deep down..want to be the handsome hero? do all women wnt to have white faces & rosey cheeks & be happily married?hmm..dodgy or wht...
Maybe it's just because i hate the commercialism of it all...& in such an amazing place like Paris.Or maybe i hate myself for succumbing to it coz i only spent 2 nights in Paris & i cud've spent more..Paris is beautiful..its all about art,fashion,poetry & creativity.Its about passionate sex & wearing a baret at a werid angle...well? isnt it? thts how i saw it anyway. i LOVE french ppl...LOVE them. i love how they smoke all over the place regardless of whr they r or how many kids are around them. i love how they say hi 2 each other (kisses on each cheek) & how they refuse to learn english. & Paris is wht i call multicultural...forget england..they dnt know shit about it lik the french do. The french dont see colour at all...here was cross-breeding at its best..& im nt jus tlkin black & white couples..im tlkin chinese & french, german & english, jamican & russian..every culture u cn imagine. im all for it..the more we have mixed race couples..the less important colour,country or state will be.maybe it was the summer..maybe it was the weather..maybe it was the eiffel tower.. but everywhr we looked thr seemed to be couples of all kinds...all so unconvential,wether it be an african woman & an irish man, or 2 gays...but it was ok..they were in love..it is Paris after all. it just seemed so natural to see two women play fight & then end up on the grass kissing under the lights of the eiffel tower..no1 even batted an eyelid.
& whilst we're on the subject of That Tower..i still cnt see the attraction personally... how can a giant 7,300 ton metal structure shaped like a giant phallus be in any way inspiring or romantic? i just dont gt it.But i went to the top..jus for the hell of it & the view was incredible..but wht else did i expect..this was paris.
It really was an amazin week...i had so much fun..being all cultured & sophisticated in Paris & then acting 10 again in disneyland.A holiday well deserved methinks...
