Missing my innocence

One of the songs on my main music playlist is 'Deeply Dippy' by 'Right Said Fred'. I play it to remind me how innocent I was in the '90s. I would hear the song on the radio and think it was a sea shanty about a boat. I actually thought they were singing about a boat. You need the mind of a kid to understand how the lyrics fit into a sea shanty. 

'90s-Alan also thought that the police were infallible, that all their staff had very strong moral fabric. I now think differently, I think there are harmful people present in every profession, there are doctors that murder people and police officers that abuse their authority. This way of thinking was reinforced earlier in the week when I learned that constable 'David Carrick' was a rapist and a prolific sex offender. 

Even a few months ago I felt angry because people were filming police officers with their phone because I thought it was rude. It would be like going to shop and filming a shop assistant and putting the video on social media to invite strangers to mock that person, it is very disrespectful. I still think it's very disrespectful to do that. When I see a video of staff being criticized on social media, I flag the video as abuse and complain in the comments. I say that filming a staff to mock them on a public domain very disrespectful and akin to bullying; not always though, sometimes the person is taking the piss.

Winslow it

I was a kid in the nineties and police academy movies were very popular back then. They started out the 80s but made loads of sequels throughout the decade and into the 90s and the free TV stations continued to show the movies long after the movies were released.

In police academy, there was a man called Lorell Jones played by Michael Winslow. He was a student officer that could make many sound effects with his mouth. I think the actor was actually able to make those sounds for real. Anyway, he would make sounds as a prank to make people think there is something wrong with a machine they are using or to make them think something was happening. He would also make those sounds for the sake of it.

There is a little bit of Winslow in me because I make sound effects when cars overtake me while I am driving at the maximum speed limit or when it is not safe. I won't say what the sound effect is though. Making sound effects with your mouth can help with unwanted anger.
