2 years of 04 has closed with a rather smoky finale(you know what i mean.)
2 years of joy, disappointment, laughter, anger barbecued to perfection on pit C16, in a torrent of rain, wind, noise and smoke. The spirit shown in a short 4 hours showed me what we were as a class. Resilience, determination, to get the BBQ going, Thinking positively, every fibre of one's body praying for the heavens to cease its mood swings. Finding humour in the process as well, no matter how bleak the situation has become.
We need not be in the classroom only then do our qualities as a class shine through. I quote from a magazine : Anytime, Anyone, Anywhere. It matters not where we are at any given moment, we still practice what we preach from the classroom, and to great and absolutely GLORIOUS effect. It is evident from that failed midnight pool game to the bedding problems, It is all for one, one for all. Failed we may have in uniting all 43 people, but for those who choose jump on the ever-enthusiastic bandwagon, you will find we have become more than friends. It is a close-knit family.
Take the cast of Under One Roof for example. they may come from wholly different backgrounds, one is even some bizarre international hybrid, but one look at their tearful goodbyes let you know that they regard themselves as one, as a family, well and truly under one roof. Or even Friends. The inexplicable chemistry is ever present despite dumbing down from showbiz, and is unlikely ever to fade.
Same goes with us, really. We come from all sorts of little nooks and crannies, but we have still all wound up in the little room, a stage to present something we have worked on for 2 whole years, some 4 , even more. Friends are like wine, really. They just get better and more priceless as it matures. From the evidence, we are one hell of a Cabernet. Or a cocktail using some expensive and old booze. Tastes like orange juice, but blows your head off after 2 sips, 'cos there's too much damn goodness in there.
And with hindsight, I think it was really destined to rain. Heaven was crying at what was possibly the biggest, and possibly last(hope not) outdoor gathering of one of the best families in the world, soon to be confined to the dusty vaults of history, never to be seen again. Pity.
But rest assured, the memories will be the polished, shining, pure gold trophy in the centre of the "Bloody Good Times That I Had"cabinet of the big grey blob in our skulls. As I quote from "All We Are" by OneRepublic...
So don't say your goodbyes you know its better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
We won't die. 404 forever.
