I was in a large crowd yesterday and suddenly I had an epiphany that all the men had the same facial traits, that is they all had pointed noses and narrow faces. I shall call this clan the cone heads for want of a better phrase. Men with round faces such as my own have become the minority. It has not always been this way as I remember joking with a friend twenty years ago that actually the reverse was true, but something has changed. This cone head type result is particularly strong in the next generation locally to where I live. In fact its getting comical (no, not conical ).
Another general trait Ive noticed was during my holiday to Glastonbury. I felt that the men there seemed taller and stronger than they used to be. I was in a play ground with my daughter pushing her on a swing, and I felt like I had stumbled in on a super race, and I am not short. It was uncomfortable. I felt acutely that I was not as they were at all. I felt like a breed apart. I am not like " them "
.Glastonbury is very good at making you look within yourself and cruelly analyse who you are compared to who you would like to think you are. After a few days you realise you are not living true to yourself, in fact I started to get the feeling I was a living lie. I guess this was just the different sides of me being made to face each other. They say that Glastonbury can do that to you and that people often go there at particular times of change in their lives. I saw a lot of couples whose children had left home and were now searching for " something " ( well that was my perception ) Any way I straying from the point.
Of course my own facial bone structure is very negro. I make no ( I was going to write " bones about it " lol ) Where this has come from I suspect is the slave trade. You see it was only in the 1700's that slavery was common place in the valley where I live. I surmise, well you can work it out ! Nope, I never will be part of the cone head clan, and as their numbers grow even my genetics may secombe to their pointy face unstoppable march.
P.S My daughter is not a cone head !
