I have the tendency to eat fast. I don’t savour my food…I don’t chew it long enough and roll my eyes in ecstasy proclaiming it to be the best dish I’ve ever tasted. It’s more like… in between full forkfuls entering my mouth, I’ll mumble a compliment to the chef or choose not to communicate with anyone at all, while I just scoff at my meal.
I’ve been told to slow down when I eat ad nauseum and I’m bored of hearing it. I guess it’s just one of my traits. The desire to have it all and have it all at once. The impatience of waiting for something to happen kills me. And I’ll have none of waiting for my food to be served or to chew little morsels of it. I just scoop up as much of it as I can with my fork or spoon and shove it right into my mouth!
Last Sunday I was having lunch with my partner and I cheekily told him to slow down, as I thought he was seriously trashing me at what seemed like an eating competition!! He looked at me in disbelief and said “I just love stuffing my mouth…don’t you?” We then proceeded into analysing the whole aspect of us eating fast because, and concluded that we choose to eat like that because we love to grasp any opportunity which comes our way.
I eat fast because I like my food hot and if I eat any slower my food will get cold, tasteless and tough. In the same way any opportunity left sitting there without working on it might get stale and old and lost.
I’m going to take every opportunity which comes my way this summer….first up the Duran Duran concert is going to be amazing to play at. Duran Duran have a brilliant live act. Gone are the 80’s pompous quiffs, pastel coloured suits and make up …..all hail electric guitars, Simon Le Bon’s unique cry and incredible hook lines! This concert is going to be an incredible experience for me, both because it is nostalgia at its best and because Duran Duran are some of the best performers I have ever seen live!
The band and I will travel to Prague only a few days after, and that is going to be very special too. Firstly, we are head lining, meaning we will be closing the 3 day festival with a huge concert. The other exciting aspect is that a fan and his/her partner will be joining us on this trip! I can’t wait to know who the winner is, this is definitely going to be an experience for whoever wins. They will be joining us backstage, watching the live show and hanging around with us. We are going to have a blast! Good luck to the finalists!!!! See you in catering section backstage….I’ll be stuffing my face!!! As usual! Hehe
