Life in a Day Page #2

with the goats.

Fifty pesos. Sweet!

Erm, first is a Canadian flag,

because some of my ancestors

were from Nova Scotia, Canada.

Next is a German flag,

because some of my ancestors

were from Germany.

Some of my ancestors

lived in Wisconsin.

Some of my ancestors

were from Poland.

Aoteman that came

in a chocolate egg.

Erm, electric die.

It's an anti-evil eye protector.

Metal saw. Metal eagle.

Metal wheels.

Anybody want some granite?

My name is Randy Ray Sides.

And this is Kenneth V Fletcher's house.

Giant 'I' beam.

Basket with grapes.

Pipe bender.

A billion boxes.

He's kind of a hoarder.

I moved here four years ago.

Er, a terrible drug addict.

And in four years, er,

Ken has done two things.

He has sobered me up

and he has lost everything.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Kenneth V Fletcher...

Tomorrow,

Ken leaves for the Canary Islands,

where he has gotten a job

as a massage therapist.

And I go back to Nebraska,

er, where I'm going to be

living with my folks.

He's one of those guys

that has a billion ideas

and never completes any of 'em.

Ken wanted a piano as a kid.

Ken couldn't get a piano as a kid.

So, three years ago, we looked

on Craigslist all summer

and went over the Twin Cities

and got... pianos!

Man's a genius.

He just never quite had the time.

And it looks like the auctioneer's here.

What's in my pocket?

Well, it's a key.

And, er, it's got a really

neat little logo there.

This... is a Lamborghini.

And this is my life in a day.

This is my wallet from Marc Jacobs.

There's a Marc Jacobs key-chain

that I love.

Mirror.

My iPod which is my soul.

Rosary.

Very good way of spending your time

profitably in the eternal dimension.

Telephone headset.

Extremely good way of wasting

your time in the earthly dimension.

What do you have in your pockets?

It's my knife. Erm...

OK, you can go ahead

and judge me all you want,

but there are some crazy people

in the world.

My Ruger P94.40 calibre handgun.

'I take this with me wherever I go.'

This is balut.

Only in the Philippines.

You see that?

Look, let's put some salt right there.

That's salt.

And then... watch this.

Ahhh!

Today is Saturday 24th July.

For the last three years

I've been away from home.

I was doing my degree,

and as soon as that finished,

I ended up getting a job

at a very demanding company.

So, I don't really get to see

my old man that much.

But whenever I do see him,

we always go to the same place,

do the same thing and have a catch up.

I just phoned you.

Yeah, I just got it, actually.

I was about to phone you back.

- How you doing? All right?

- Not bad.

- Mouthful?

- I'll have a mouthful.

You sorted the tyre out?

- That tyre's f***ed.

- I haven't had time.

That tyre's f***ed.

You'll get done for that.

Seen it? You got a rip in it.

- Is there a rip?

- Yeah.

Why don't you film down there, Jack,

let's see if we see a cop?

Jesus!

You're not a student now, you know,

you're a working man.

There's no excuse.

Two small beefburgers,

believe it or not.

Imagine what their large ones are like

or medium ones. Ridiculous, isn't it?

Unbelievable.

Anyway, there you go, Jack.

This way. I'm gonna sit in the car.

- What you got?

- This.

Oh. Is this a photograph of you at uni?

- Yeah.

- Fantastic.

That's fantastic. I'm gonna get that

in a lovely frame and that,

cos Nina's got a frame like that.

That's really cool, Jack.

Thank you.

Now you should be very proud

of yourself, Jack,

considering you almost got

chucked out of school.

You was lucky there, weren't you?

You've matured actually in the last year

or so into a real proper lad.

A real gentleman and a nice boy.

Thanks for that, Jack.

I love being me.

I love life. It's all such fun.

Grass, dirt.

Dirty river smell.

Hmm, smell of a campfire

that gets stuck in your hair.

Coated chicken baked in the oven

with seasonings.

What do I love the most?

Well...

...you're looking at her.

I really love my family.

My brothers and sisters.

- What do you love the most?

- Er, women. So much.

I love you, Julia.

You are my only love.

You are my first love.

For me, love is all about you.

I love my wife. I love my son.

I love my land. I love my animals.

My dogs. My ferret. My chickens.

My horses in the background.

I love my life.

But what do I love the most?

I love my Lord.

My heavenly Father. My creator.

From whom all blessings flow.

I love doing about 150 miles an hour

down a motorway, in a good car.

I love football.

I think football is only sport

that bring people together.

- What do you love?

- Women.

- What do you love?

- Freedom.

- What do you love?

- Power.

I love the word Mamihlapinatapai.

It's from the Yaghan language

which is now a dead language.

But it was spoken in Tierra del Fuego,

the very southernmost point

of South America.

I've never heard the word said properly

so I could be pronouncing it wrong.

But the meaning is quite beautiful.

It means...

...that moment or feeling

when two people both want

to initiate something

but neither wants to be

the one to start it.

It can be, perhaps, two tribal leaders

both wanting to make peace

but neither wanting to be

the one to begin it.

Or it could be two people at a party

wanting to approach each other

and neither quite brave enough

to make the first move.

You can hear the kookaburras now.

Currently I'm calling my mom to ask her

what I should say to Emily today.

- 'Hello? '

- Do you have a second to talk to me?

- 'Sure.'

- Tonight I am hanging out with Emily.

But I was planning on telling her

exactly how I feel about her,

and then I don't know.

So I was calling my mother to see

what should I say to this woman.

'OK... '

'I don't know. I just think that...

concentrate on the fact that,

'you have very, very high feelings

obviously for her.

'That she's somebody

you always admired... '

Esteem? Is that the word

I should use? Esteem?

- Do you think she'll like that?

- 'Well, why not? Yeah, whatever.

- I just don't know if that's...

- 'You hold her in very high regard.'

- I don't know if those are...

- 'She's the special person in your life.'

OK. I'll try all that.

'And you would like to find out if there's

a possibility of being her boyfriend... '

Hey, I'm on the train now.

This is my friend Emily.

Hello, life in a day. I'm still with Emily

and we're still hanging out in Chicago.

Erm, this is...

We just came out of this place

which was cool.

But I'm gonna leave this thing on

in case anything gets climatic.

Theresa, look at me.

Off!

Oh, my God!

Well, so here's the deal.

I asked her if she wanted to go on

a romantic date with me some time,

and she says, er, no.

Just, just no.

That's really all she said, no.

She didn't want any of that.

Ever. Possibly never, ever.

And so actually I said, "What about

the possibility of a possibility?"

And she said no to that.

No possibility. None.

OK. Let me say that it is meant
